It's been over 2 years since Mauro's last promotion. Through that time he had real life deployments, but still managed to return and be one of the highest producing members I have seen when he was active in the DJB. His activity is higher than many members who earn EQ3 and he was able to do it in the same amount of active time in the DJB. The guy is a beast in not only participating, but also producing for his members while being a rock in solid support to his Summit in many avenues of leading the House into further growth.

Since his last promotion he been awarded 1 Grand Cross, 1 Steel Cross, 2 Anteian Crosses, and 1 Dark Cross for both stellar activity and leadership. In addition he has participated in 219 competitions with 52 of those being since his last recognition just under a month ago with 11 of those being major fiction activities that awarded 27 Clusters of Ice... think about that for a second, one month. Looking at the bigger picture he has participated in a total of 219 competitions since his last promotion. From these he earned 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 7 Crescents with Ruby Star, 12 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 24 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 16 Crescents with Emerald Star, 9 Crescents with Topaz Star, and 2 Crescents with Quartz Star. While Mauro is primarily a writer which is evident with his incredible 91 Clusters of Ice he also dived into gaming where he earned 2 Pendants of Blood, 35 Clusters of Fire, and 5 Clusters of Earth. Additionally he went on to do various art competitions earning 5 Clusters of Graphite. He netted 3 Scrolls of Foundation for Shadow academy work, but also gained more knowledge himself by passing 7 courses and helping him earn 3 degrees. Lastly he was a force in the GJW where he attained 15 Seals of Wrath helping Odan-Urr win "First Clan".

There is so much that Mauro does on a day to day basis to help Satele Shan continue to grow and foster activity within the House. His reports are frequent, detailed, and feature many event fictions to include a 7 page fictional narrative for the origins of Tython Squad to help the members engage in their new team. His fictional abilities for events has also driven some insane numbers which was evident with the 100% participation rate in his first BT event "Basic Flight Squadron" featuring with 11 members at the time. Since then he has created a mini event Already he has organized and created mini BT event featuring 3 competitions called "Operation Enigma" to help prepare his team for their upcoming joint battleteam event with Arcona's own BT the Nighthawks for the for the 4 competition event titled "Rendezvous of Destiny" that he created a 3 page fiction to help drive the narrative for the members of the two teams. All in all he has organized 9 total completed events with many about to start. He doesn't just make the events, Mauro help develop the fictional drive to inspire the members to get involved and helping elevate these participation rates. His work toward our upcoming event "Shadow of the Kesaret" was top notch. Without his writing abilities it would of been a struggle for our House to create such a dynamic story to involve the members while keeping in line by tying our previous House event together.

Mauro you on one heck of a members and honestly I cannot think of anything more you need to do to earn this promotion. You have spent 8 months as a professor on the SA staff, 4 months as Aedile, and now just shy of 2 months as BTL here. Your ability to produce and go above and beyond that which is expected of your position is anything I could of asked for in a BTL. You are doing great things to help us foster activity within Satele Shan and help create something special here as is evident with our surge in growth and activity. I appreciate everything you do and I know someone with your abilities and dedication to creating an awesome member experience is what helps further this club day in and day out. This promotion is for you and I know it will only be a matter of time before I will be looking up to you once again as my leader. Congrats brother!

When joining Odan-Urr I had the opportunity to join Tython Squad, the battleteam led by Mauro Wynter. I instantly realized that Mauro is one of the most, if not the most, devoted leader I've come across.

Not only has Mauro shown us some great activity, as listed by Maximus, but what pleases me the most is that he did all of this, not for his own gain but that of the battleteam, clan, and its members.

Mauro leads by example and offers members a chance to be active, promotes activity and offers a chance for others to get involved in the bigger picture. Thanks to members like Mauro, this community is an amazing one to be part of.

Therefor, Mauro Wynter, you most definitely deserve this promotion. Congrats!

BTL is, in my opinion, a much harder job that people give it credit for. You have to built a community and you're expected to generate more activity than what the main body of the clan is getting, but you have to do it without competing with the identities of the clan and house, and by squeezing your competitions and events into whatever time the CON and QUA haven't already claimed. That makes Mauro's work with Tython Squadron all the more impressive.

As Max has detailed above, Mauro has assembled a BT of unprecedented size and activity. He started with nothing; he didn't come in to a lore and group that someone else had assembled for him. He's already completed two successful events and has organized a third with Constantine over in Arcona. This is, as far as I know, the first cross-clan battleteam event in Odan-Urr's history. I've been around for 6 COU battleteams now, and I cannot remember a time in the last two and a half years where one had the excitement and activity behind it that Tython does. Mauro deserves the lion's share of the credit for that.

Additionally, he's served on the house and clan summits. I've been particularly impressed by his maturity and his ability to stay positive and try to work through some very heated arguments, but in all cases he's been a key player in brainstorming new ideas to improve the member experience.

And, of course, in his regular activity as a member, Mauro's been one of the heavy hitters in COU in GJW XII and ever since. One thing that really stood out, that is definitely not reflected in his stats and that I'm sure nobody noticed but me, is that he got his fiction entries in for both phases at least a week before the deadline. It's a little thing, but I think it's indicative of how Mauro will set his mind to something and get it done, with no fuss, drama, or delays. The dude's a beast, and I'm delighted to have him on my summit.

Congrats, Mauro. I look forward to seeing how much you soar as an EQ3.

Mauro has proven to be one of the best additions to the Satele Shan Summit. His concept for Tython Squadron has been a huge success. Mauro has injected his own high motivation into the Team which can be seen in the core group of Tython members. His presence has been a huge help to the Summit. During my move, Mauro stepped up and took some of my responsibilities so that the House could keep operating.

Mauro, it has been a has been an honor to serve with you and work along side you. This promotion is well deserved and never stop , congratulations!

Mauro Wynter has done a lot of great things for Odan-Urr since he returned. Since my companions have already said a lot of great things, I'd like to focus on the one that makes me the proudest of him. What I commend Mauro for most is his dedication to the fictional development of Tython squadron. Many leaders miss this crucial point and forget to provide a "fictional skeleton" of sorts for their members. Mauro Wynter has excelled here, not only providing that "fictional skeleton" but also updating Tython's wiki page in a matter of hours after an update is due.

Now, many find the wiki rather tedious but regardless as a leader, it's your job to make sure that is up to date. As such, Mauro's insanely quick updates are a rare find and a greatly appreciated one by this Proconsul. With this fictional backbone in place in not only traditional fiction but the wiki itself, he has fostered one the liveliest battleteams currently in the DB and given his members something to really be excited about: the joy of seeing their work outlive them.

With that said, I give you, Mauro Wynter, high praise and want you to know that I greatly appreciate all the wonderful work you have done for Tython and Satele Shan. It's nothing less than remarkable and I look forward to seeing how big of a mark you'll continue to make in your House and Odan-Urr itself. Congratulations on EQ3!!!
