Primary reason

Cethgus has been my right hand man since the day I took office as Consul, and in that time he has been an excellent asset. After his most recent recognition for this - a Sapphire Blade on April 15th of last year - he continued to fulfill his role outstandingly. He is a solid complement to me: we have different skills that allow us to see situations differently and work well together.

As Proconsul, Cethgus has been a major player in continuing to develop our plans for the clan. He took my initial goals and expanded on them. For example, it had always been my mission to capitalize on WhatsApp and Google Hangouts, and use these more often. When Telegram looked like it would replace WhatsApp, Cethgus was a key player in helping the clan move over and get used to the new messenger. He also has increased our usage of Google Hangouts, which has helped bring the clan together even more. In addition, another goal I had was to expand our presence in the Antei Combat Centre. While I was not able to do this a lot myself, Cethgus was highly involved in this area. He's fought several battles of his own and built up a healthy rivalry among our members in the ACC. This started momentum that continues to move to this day, where many of our newer members regularly compete in the ACC.

Since that Sapphire Blade in April, Cethgus has assisted me and other clan leaders in running two major events for the clan: Red Fury and Awakenings. Red Fury was a joint event with Scholae Palatinae. Cethgus helped plan the competitions and assisted in planning and developing fiction, as well as helping to establish cordial relations with CSP leadership so the event would run smoothly. Red Fury was a great success. It's competitions - each co-organized by Cethgus - had a total of 35 participants, who made 161 individual competition entries over 12 competitions.

Awakenings was the clan's next major event, and saw three factions battling for control of the clan. Cethgus was a big player in the discussion of this plot-like and development of the event's structure. He also helped design and run the competitions. Also of note here is that, due to me being personally busy during the end of this event, Cethgus led in judging the majority of the competitions, including the 76,528 word runon event. This event saw 77 individual competition entries, from 22 total participants over 10 competitions.

Finally, last year, CNS was able to obtain a 70% participation rate for much of the year, and to this day clan members comment about how they love the atmosphere of the clan and how we get along well. Cethgus is one major reason behind this. He presents alternative ways to handle conflicts which I may otherwise not handle in the best way. He frequently assures members that he and the Summit are open to any questions they may have and without going into details I know for a fact he has mediated multiple disputes where members were comfortable coming to him and otherwise unsure of what to do.

For the above reasons, I would like to show my gratitude to Cethgus with this Grand Cross.

Congratulations, Cethgus!

Consul of Naga Sadow

P.S. Thank you for not trying to kill me for nearly a year. Be my Valentine, please!

Additional reasons

Cethgus has been a mainstay in Naga Sadow, ever since I returned to the Clan last year. He has contributed massively to the feeling of family we have going in Naga Sadow, by promoting the use of both Telegram and Google Hangouts where he frequently harasses us with his Warhammer models.

Gaming has been a staple of Ceth's leadership and he has made it his mission to get all of us involved in at least some aspect of it. He briefly taught myself and several others the details of Jedi Academy combat, and has made great effort in getting a functional raid-group off the ground by providing tips, tricks, and a presence in whichever role we needed.

Congratulations Cethgus! I can't think of a more deserving member to receive this award, just like I cannot imagine Naga Sadow without you.

Cethgus has been a guiding beacon within Naga Sadow. He has been a calm, collected leader who encourages those in the Clan to better themselves. He’s worked well with Locke and helped run several Clan events. This guy kept in touch with his clan-mates and continued to participate in events while stuck on a mobile phone on a boat in the middle of the Caribbean. Locke has talked about Cethgus’ achievements. I’m here to talk about why Cethgus does what he does.

Stu loves the Brotherhood, despite the flak he’s gotten in the past. He never stops, he never gives up. The guy is a machine. He’s always there to offer advice, helping me talk through ideas to try out as Quaestor. Naga Sadow has blossomed under his care alongside Locke. Naga Sadow has grown in both size and activity; its members have shown their potential. Thanks to Cethgus, we’ve become prouder, more secure and more outgoing. The members of Naga Sadow often view their Clan as a family, Cethgus is that grumpy granddad who tells you off when you do something stupid, but wants to see you succeed. He’s there, constantly encouraging you, despite you thinking he isn’t. He’s that guy you miss when you realise what he does.

Cethgus, bro, congrats on your Grand Cross. Have another shiny to add to your collection.
