What a busy few months it's been for Arcona's favourite door-faceplanter. It was only in Feburary that I last got to write a promotion up for Sofila and frankly I'm not surprised it only took her a matter of months to reach this. So, to get it rolling, let us look at the numbers.

Sofila organised 8 competitions, co-organising 2 more. She participated in 315 comps, 56 of which containers and earned 74 Crescents for her efforts. 5 Diamond, 10 ruby, 19 Amethyst, 18 Sapphire, 9 Emerald, 5 Topaz and 8 Quartz. She has also gathered 30 Clusters of Graphite, a Seal of Loyalty, a Scroll of the Master, a Dark side scroll, a Sapphire Blade, an Amethyst Kukri and air drum roll... 1148 Clusters of Fire and 35 Clusters of Earth across 105 gaming activities. But of course it doesn't stop there, Sofila also earned 144 Clusters of Ice across 11 Fiction comps, 21 participant roleplays and 3 dm-ing spints. Oh, as well as passing 3 courses for 3 degress for pure efficency too. This has earned her 2 rank ups in the Collegium, 1 in the Inquisitorius, 2 in the Shroud and one in the Envoy Corps Organiser tree, and all together garnering a total of 1,228,150 credits for Arcona.

And all of this while being the leader of the House Qel-Droma. Since her move to Quastorship, we had the Clan Event during which she encourgaed her members to partake as well as being a major contender herself, in the few weeks since the final wrap up of the big event Sofila has been on the ground running and preparing for the next thing. Not only in events, but also in preparing for Tali's departure. House reports have continued to come through consistently with useful information for the membership and I believe Sofila has been more than ready for when the support wheels come off for a while now. It's wonderful to watch her craft stories and how easily she takes new information on to make sure the story stays true. She has incredible attention to detail when it comes to stories or just handling her own membership. As long life permits her to be, she will be the beating heart of Qel-Droma and cast her silhouette over the shadowyiest part of the Shadow Clan.

Sof cares about this club as a whole. No matter who you are, or what niggly piece of information it is that's been lost. Afterall, it wasn't long ago that, as notated by Arch, that Sofila created a whole wiki-page guide to help others create trivias and understand the process so it'd be more accessible. Nor is it ever that long ago from the last time she supported someone, joked or gathered someone for gaming. Or rambled about Taco Bell.

Be active and activity will follow you. This is something I watch every day in her wake and it's a point of pride to get to be the one pressing the green button on this. You've got this Jenni.

Sofila or Jenni as most of us know her has only been with the Fist office for a little over a month but has already hit the ground running. She dived into training to work the queue and has already identified areas where both our public facing and internal documentation needed updating. She has been an eager and vocal participant in staff discussions on our recent policy changes and the addition of a new platform. In this short time working the queue she has processed 125 gaming submissions in a timely manner directly supporting 57 unique members.

Before officially joining the Fist staff Jenni has been a consistent and uplifting part of the gaming community. She helped me test the functionality of the Scriptly transcription bot to help our deaf/hard of hearing members more fully participate in Discord voice activities such as gaming and hangouts and helped test the pingable gaming roles we initially rolled out. Jenni brings people together, welcomes anyone to join in whatever game she’s able to play and will never leave you hanging in Dead by Daylight :P

So on behalf of the Fist staff and gaming community at large, thank you Jenni for being so eager, uplifting and a tangible positive influence on our community.

"Miss. Wyvern," Anderson raised a glass of Coruscanti Red to her sudden achievement, a coy smile stretched across his face. "Well done."

In all seriousness, Jenni is a lite firecracker that transcends Clan boundaries. She's literally everywhere, participating, chatting, writing, gaming, you name it, she does it. It doesn't take being in the same Clan to realise that and I'm not surprised she's reached EQ4.

Congratulations, Jenni! sips wine.

Another month, another Jenni promotion!

All jokes aside, you are amazing and I am glad the system has changed such as to recognize people like yourself for your constant dedication and activity unlike the past one we had. It is a remarkable thing to witness, like a tornado or tsunami of Clusters...

Since we hot-swapped seats in the HQD Summit, I've been pleased to see Jenni has taken well to her new seat as Quaestor. She has worked both diligently, and with due deference for the past, without letting all the choices of history constrain her creativity too much. She consults those in the know, yet only to the point that she knows from where to leap off into the unknown.

In our House chat, she remains active and engaged, eagerly hyping the achievements of our membership and going above and beyond to make everyone feel seen. How she finds hours in the day to do all she does, I'll never know. Mayhaps Sof has come across some archeotech left behind my Miss Granger...?

As a retiring lek, I wish to extend my deepest thanks to you, Sof, for giving me the best gift a Quaestor could ask for; a worthy successor that will hopefully outshine my legacy.

Congratulektions, Jenni!
