Primary reason

Alaris Jinn's contributions as both a leader and a member to the Brotherhood have included time as a member of several clans spanning a Great Jedi War, and on the Dark Council as Fist of the Brotherhood during a Great Jedi War as well. While his current Consul, Ronovi, will cover his time in Plagueis, we will focus on his other noteworthy accomplishments.

Since his last sacramental award, Alaris has participated in some 55 competitions, including numerous major events, and he earned nearly 700 total gaming clusters in that time period. Alaris organized more than 26 total competitions. Prior to joining the Dark Council, Alaris had served in the Fist office briefly for one month, and as a capable Left Hand of Justice for two months. In addition, he updated the templates for Skills and Force Powers on the Wiki, an important task that enabled members to more easily track what feats affect their powers.

During his time as Fist, Alaris began several projects and instituted several changes to gaming in the club. He managed a Rites of Combat revamp that updated the formatting and brought the document out of the IRC era. THe removed unnecessary references and re-defined match dodging to maintain the integrity of DC-run competitions. During Great Jedi War XIII: Discord, Alaris ran 9 different competitions in support of the Vendetta. He coordinated the JA and HoTS brackets and signups and organized multiple gaming competitions during the event. He was available to help and ansewr questions to participants and Clan leaders, and maintained open communications with the Dark Council. Finally, Alaris was instrumental in constructing the postwar Survey, taking point to compile the new survey and to work with Dark Councilors to adjust where needed to meet the new competitions in Discord.

Alaris' time as a member before joining the Council, and during his time on the DC, reflected a commitment to bettering the club through consistent activity, leadership, and project contributions. As Ronovi discussed below, Alaris has been an active and contributing member since rejoining Plagueis. Taken together, these efforts demonstrate that Alaris is deserving of his second Sapphire Blade. Congratulations!

Additional reasons

Alaris Jinn rejoined Clan Plagueis in February of 2020. These dates are important references to understanding the contributions of Alaris not only to Plagueis but the wider club. First, on a personal activity front, Alaris has competed in 30 competitions since the 7th of February, the day he officially rejoined Clan Plagueis from the Rogues. What makes this even more impressive is the fact that Alaris has managed to play an important role in not one but two major events. Only a few days after rejoining the clan, the feud between Plagueis and Vizsla, better known as A Fistful of Credits began. Throughout this event, Alaris competed in 8 competitions which is exactly 50% of the total competitions offered in the whole feud. Alaris would maintain his activity up to the recently concluded Great Jedi War XIV, where he was one of Plagueis’ standout participants, with only one Plagueian managing to surpass his 17 entries. What’s more is that from these entries, he managed to earn one Gold Nova for his efforts in helping Plagueis retain its crown as the Clan RO champions and a Bronze Nova in a highly competitive HotS bracket.

These numbers aren’t just impressive on their own, but they show Alaris’ dedication to showing up on the biggest stage and performing to the best of his abilities. From his total of 33 competitions since last being recognised, he has earned crescents in over 25% of them, 2 Diamond, 3 Ruby and 4 Sapphire. His gaming efforts, primarily in Heroes of the Storm where he’s one of the strongest players in the club, have netted him 81 Clusters of Fire and an impressive 369 Clusters of Earth. Alaris has also earned 3 Clusters of Graphite, 4 Scrolls of Foundation and 10 Seals of Discord. In addition to all of this, Alaris has organised 16 competitions in some form or another according to the site, though I was only able to observe 7 on his dossier, which all came within a GJW from his brief time as FIST.

Alaris has been a joy to work with, and I am pleased to recommend him for an SB!
