It often happens that members must weigh their love for our Club and their duties in the realm we call Real Life. Such was the destiny of one Revak Kur, who was last promoted a long time ago, in the year 2015.

It is also a great tradition, often repeated by many members, to suddenly burst out of their Real Life stupor and become a hurricane of activity. So too did it happen with Revak Kur after he returned and became far more active. I would herein like to present Revak’s many achievements, all of which are directly related to his work for Clan Odan-Urr.

Revak has been a key member of the Clan Summit for since his promotion to Quaestor last year. He has been a major influence in reinvigorating COU’s membership through his work in House Sunrider, a House that required a strong leader with a vision to make it work well. Revak’s initiative to put together a team and develop a story for the House through a proposal document with 12 months of proposed development, and up to 20 months of ideas to pull from, has given the Summit much needed perspective into his plans and it continues to drive the House forward. Moreover, he is already cultivating and growing a strong base for the future, providing a steady stream of competitions for his members to partake in since he took the position.

As a leader in COU, Revak has been in office for a period of 9 months. A constant presence for Sunrider, he has cultivated a team not only on his house summit but inside his house as well. You can often find him on telegram spending a spare hour or so to talk with his members, resolve any issues that come up, and joke around. This is time well spent as it fosters a community that is willing to share with others, whether it be competition participation or friendly smack talk. He has also posted regularly on the News page, with 15 leader reports and news items, as well as 17,812 words of fiction, written over 9 documents or activities.

Of his more general activities, it’s worth mentioning the 36 organized and co-organized competitions he has ran as either Quaestor, Aedile or as a regular member. He has participated in over 100 competitions and earned 107 Crescents and Clusters for his efforts. He has earned 2 Steel crosses, 1 Anteian cross and one Dark cross in the service of COUas well as a Scroll of the Master, Seal of Loyalty, and 17 Seals for Vendetta competitions. He has done 22 Courses and 3 degrees in the Shadow Academy.

For his work for Clan Odan-Urr, and his dedication to improve our little part of the Club, I recommend Revak Kur for promotion. Congratulations!

It is my pleasure to add to this recc. In particular, I’d like to touch on his activities towards the clan. First, Revak has been of great help in our community events. So far he has hosted 5 gaming community events. This involved spending a considerable portion of his Saturday afternoons running community events. The average attendance was 3-5 members per event and focused on the hard problem of getting together gamers. He showed a tenacity to engage and hold other members’ attention and foster a friendly environment where every clanmate and non-clanmate was welcome. This includes day of setup, the actual hosted event, drumming up participants, and blasting out reminders for community events. Second, Revak helped as a second grader for a Scimitar of Hoth competition that was before his term as Quaestor. This required 3 hours of his time but it was very helpful and ensured nothing was missed. Third, he helped further Odan-Urr’s lore-keeping, executing on wiki updates to include 1 major update for 416 words to page ‘Strike Team Ooroo’, 3 minor updates to clan pages (House Hoth, Strike-team Ooroo), and the creation of 1 wiki page (Vatali Unsettled) using existing material from House comps. Fourth, he helped me rework my presentation on clan positions, which involved 2-3 hours and reworking the presentation of several slides from complex to something much simpler. This ensured that my fellow clanmates easily understood my intentions and the help was very much appreciated.

In addition, there were several smaller things that I’d like to acknowledge. First, he was my co-conspirator for a fiction for one of our newer members, even helping me write part of it. Second, he helped set up our trello boards for both house and clan, helping to increase our organization. Third, he is a constant presence for Sunrider whether it be as a leader or an active member, serving as both a good role model and a good friend.

Thank you for everything you’ve put into the clan. You’ve been a big part of sunrider’s progress and we’ve made some good stories along the way. Here is to many more but for now I give you this token of my appreciation and recommend that Revak Kur be promoted to Equite 3!
