It was a slow start, but three months later, some headway has been made - thanks to DJK Kat Pridemore and OE Korras. ACCLive! had a history with the beginning of the ACC, it was a wonderful idea but failed in 'practice' After a bit of revival, it found a home again in the Combat Centre. Yet, despite it's new direction and face, it still didn't see much use - seeming to last forever in Test and Evaluation phase. I personally sought two members to hire to the ACC for the purpose of ACCLive! and the addition of the self-administering program. In that search I found Korras and Kat. Korras had been a judge for some time, so I was anxious to have him back aboard. Kat, on the other-hand, seemed fairly green but came highly recommended. She jumped at the chance to help out and sought the counsel of the staff, often - I am glad I selected both of them. It is still a hard platform to 'sell' but the both of them have brought the system to over 30 battles in barely a month's total time. They spend hours on end in the channel, most times just waiting, but we often forget the simple value of their presence. When a battle does come their way, it's waiting again - ensuring the script runs smooth for the combatants and ensuring that glitches are corrected as fast as possible. Again, waiting and monitoring - so many jobs in the Brotherhood depend on that one, thankless act of servitude and those jobs can go eons without being rewarded. <br> Korras was instantly moved to Operator, a position of a lot of responsibility - more so than a Judge - because he already knew the ropes. He often lends his services to battles beyond ACCLive!, which is invaluable in these times of great influx for the Brotherhood. Stepping up to the plate, Kat has also been selected as an Operator. Her overall knowledge has grown and my confidence in her is exceptional. She has such a grasp of the elements of the Centre that, as a new comer, I still saw fit to give her reign over the Jester's Keep. <br> They are both assets to the Antei Combat Centre, and in being so, are assets the Brotherhood as a whole. We cater to every Clan, Order and Rank; We require loyalty to the Centre and it's unbiased, unallied stances; We require the selfless ability to mentor new-comers through the basics of a platform that many enjoy and We take pride in what we do. I take pride in my staff, and I'd like to thank OE Korras and DJK Kat Pridemore for their dedication to the Centre and the Brotherhood by recommending the Grand Cross of the Dark Side to each of them. <br> Thank You For Your Service; KPN Dalthid, Combat Master - Antei Combat Centre
