Primary reason

Since Mauro Wynter had become PCON, he has been a phenomenal leader and member of CSP. Always taking the initiative with projects like the formation of the wiki committee and working on the wiki to working with Sykes on rebuilding the CSP fleet, Mauro strove to help CSP grow and become as successful as possible. He was constantly engaged with members, even discussing with them to get input on CSP’s fleet. He also did his best to lead by example and took part in various competitions while hosting and co-hosting a few of his own.

To get into the metrics, since his last recognition, Mauro has participated in 128 competitions while hosting 10 of his own. He has engaged in 28 PVP and 5 PVE matches and has completed 1 ACC battle. Mauro has also passed 9 SA courses while gaining 2 degrees in the process. Mauro also has several awards under his belt including the following: 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 4 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 6 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 7 Crescents with Emerald Star, 2 Crescents with Topaz Star, 5 Pendants of Blood, 165 Clusters of Fire, 14 Clusters of Ice, 173 Clusters of Graphite, and 14 Seals of Vision.

Overall, Mauro was a pinnacle of success and growth in CSP, helping to build the clan up from where it was before he became PCON. Many times he and I discussed what we could do to better the clan and the clan experience for the members, and how we could get people more involved with projects to help provide opportunities for awards and promotions. This led to the formation of the wiki committee where he led the charge in going through and either updating or archiving wiki pages. During the few times where RL had me take a step back from the saddle of CON, Mauro was always ready to take the reigns and made sure to be there for the clan in my place. With members, he was always there ready to listen for input and discuss concerns or ideas members had. As stated before, he devoted a lot of time with Sykes to the rebuilding of the CSP fleet, running simulations, and engaging in walls of conversation with the Summit and members discussing changes and results of said simulations in an effort to make sure our fleet was in top shape for the next vendetta event. Mauro also led the way in helping to set up an unofficial guideline for the summit in regards to evaluating activity on site towards promotions and awards given to members that followed the guidelines granted for such recognitions with both Syke’s help and one of the members of the MAA staff. In the end, Mauro was a spectacular PCON, and CSP is in a better place thanks to his dedication and resolve. He was absolutely fantastic to work with, and I am very honored to have had the privilege of doing so. It is with this reasoning I am more than excited to see Mauro receiving a Sapphire Blade. Congratulations, Mauro. Very well earned! I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Additional reasons

Can't say enough about Mauro. CSP was in a rut whence before Mauro came. It was myself and Shadow in a Summit without a Proconsul, an Aedile, and a Rollmaster. We were dead last in a Great Jedi War, our possessions hadn't been updated in a long time, and our wiki was in an outdated and dire state.

Mauro helped us succeed in all of those. He helped increase member engagement by being open and communicative with the members, which helped drive up our numbers (to a position where I think we'll do better in the next Vendettas). He took the lead on revamping all of our possessions into stronger categories, and did so by testing our Fleet against every Clan Fleet in an Empire at War mod (along with Sykes). This was painstakingly difficult and tedious, but Mauro did the work. Our possessions are a lot better off today. Lastly, he took the lead on updating the wiki and making it a lot smaller and more nuanced. This allowed a wiki to be easier to keep hold of.

He's helped in other ways as well, such as creating the Summit policy of proposals needing to be collaborative and from multiple members. He also gave us guidance on how to approach leadership selection and engagement.

I think one of the other Summit members described his work perfectly: he's a "fixer". He fixes what need to be fixed and makes wherever he goes better. We're glad to have him, and wherever he goes, he'll be a boon to those who have him!

Congrats, Mauro!

We may joke that Evant is Darth Logistics but Mauro is easily the heir apparent. His work on the possessions of CSP is nothing sort of masterful. His attention to detail for aligning of units belays his real-life military background and skills.

Equally, his engagement with the Clan built a sense of community. He has a natural ability to encourage members to pursue their ideas while keeping them within the rails of the overall Clan activities.

I look forward to Mauro's continued engagement with the Clan, regardless of where he may land in the future either as an active Clan member or a Clan ally.
