Today I have the great privilege of recommending Reiden Karr be advanced to the rank of Equite 2. Reiden has stepped up his game these last few months, and despite his own misgivings of his skill has shown every single one of us what a talented, resourceful, and capable member he truly can be. From strong showings in competitions, consistent involvement with his fellow members, and helpful eye given to other work, Reiden has demonstrated he is truly ready to advance on in the Equite ranks.

Since his last promotion, Reiden has participated in 93 total competitions. These range from small one offs, to big clan events, to the recently run Artist Ladder. He has 8 PvP matches, 10 PvE matches, 12 Fiction activities counting for some 28,975 words, and 4 SA exams. He has taken home 2 Steel Crosses, 3 Diamond Stars, 5 Ruby Stars, 11 Amethyst Stars, 11 Sapphire Stars, 7 Emerald Stars, 1 Topaz Star, 236 CFs, 169 CEs, 57 CIs, 13 CGs, 2 Legions of the Scholar, and 2 Seals of Loyalty.

Reiden Karr has demonstrated the long term commitment we want to see from our members, alongside a great skill set, and ability to succeed when he truly puts his mind to it. For this I am glad to say he is ready to move on to the next stage of his DJB career. Congratulations Reiden! Drinks are on you!

Reiden is a member we have grown to respect and admire, he is a man of simple values and to trust in. Since his last promotion, Reiden has co-hosted 6 competitions, participated in 93 competitions, earned 3 diamond, 5 ruby, 11 amethyst, 11 sapphire, 7 emerald, 1 topaz, 236 cfs, 57 cis, 169 ces, and 13 cgs. Reiden has earned 2 seals of loyalty and 2 legion of the scholar.

Reiden stretches out to anything he can do, within his knowledge, he has passed 4 courses including comms 102: TG, the Trial of Acquisition, ACC combat studies, and Galactic History on the trials of the New Republic. He has elevated to INQ rank IV, and is a regularly active Telegram member.

As a voice of reason and creative notions, he has been instrumental in reforming the newly christened Crucesignatis Imperialis as its foundations are formed.

In short, Reiden is a member that I have grown to trust, rely on for sound advice and be a role model for new members. You don’t need to be submitting 20 competitions a week just to be amazing, be yourself instead.

Congratulations Reiden!

Reiden gives purpose to members who feel like they can't accomplish enough in the DJB. Here we have a member who knows that balancing real life and the DJB is a difficult task, but one he does successfully. And because of this, members can look to him to see what can be done while maintaining that difficult balance. He also helpfully critiques a lot of what the Clan does and brings forth legitimate discussion on matters within the Clan telegram channel. He is a unique member that has been deserving of this promotion for quite some time, especially with his interest in developing the new battleteam into something that works for all members (of which I am very grateful for).

Congrats, Reiden! Drinks are on you!

Reiden is evidence of what can be done with consistent tenacity and hard work over a long period of time. Since his last promotion he has almost entered 100 competitions, earning 3 diamond crescents in the process along with large numbers of clusters of earth, ice, fire and graphite.

Reiden epitomises long commitment, loyalty and dedication, and we're all very happy that we're in a position to recommend this promotion. Congratulations!
