Titius has only been a member of Plagueis for a short period of time, but in the roughly two months since he joined our clan he has truly made himself feel at home and become indispensable to our summit. When some guy with a hat decided to leave the position of Quaestor of House Tyranus vacant, Titius was eager to jump at the chance to take his first steps into leadership within this club. And while nothing has blown up just yet (thankfully), he has gone a step further and taken up his first staff position in the club (but I’ll let Arch talk about that more later). While I only knew Titus as the fellow Canuck with a habit of blowing things up before he joined the clan, it was clear that he was passionate about this little corner of nerdom we call the DB, and the numbers will back me up on this. So, let’s do the normal rec thing and look at all those numbers, that long, long list of numbers.

Since his last promotion a mere 7 months ago, Titius has been tearing through absolutely every corner of the club looking for more things to do. This has led to him participating in a whopping 194 comps, not including containers, and earning a boat load of shinnies including 2 Crescent with Ruby Star, 8 with Amethyst Star, 5 with Sapphire Star, 8 with Emerald Star, 4 with Topaz Star and 1 with Quartz Star. On top of this we saw 11,357 words written between 2 ACC battles, 7 roleplaying activities and 13 fiction activities which combined for a well deserved 24 Clusters of Ice. One thing I learned about Titius is that he loves to game, I’ve seen him active in the gaming chat, chatting with members of Plagueis and giving them advice on games they can play in the club, but where it’s truly evident is in the 304 Clusters of Fire and 551 Clusters of Earth he has amassed over 87 gaming activities. On top of all of this, Titius has earned an additional 12 Clusters of Graphite, passed 4 Shadow Academy courses, earned 2 more degrees and has received 4 Scrolls of Foundation for reporting issues with the SA (all from before he even joined the staff!). All of these efforts have seen Titius rank up in every society (and twice in the GMRG) as well as both the ACC participant and 4 times in the Envoy Corps participant supplementary societies.

(Bear with me, I promise we are almost there!)

To say that Titius has been a welcome addition to the Plag summit is an understatement. Slags already talked about this in Titius’ Amethyst Kukri (oh yeah, he got one of those too! Who’s idea was it to give him something pointy?!) award just hours ago, but now it’s my turn. Titius has been eager and willing to learn, jumping straight into learning about our processes and expectations and getting to know the members of not only his house but the whole clan. When something is asked of him, Titius is all over it like it’s a grenade about to go off, making sure everything is taken care of properly and in a timely manner that puts the members of House Tyranus ahead of himself and making sure promotion and award recommendations are written and submitted as quickly as he can type them out. Hell, his first report was barely a week into being in the position and he knocked that out of the park! All-in-all, I can say with utter confidence that this well deserved and explosive promotion to Equite 3. Congratulations!!!

Our dearly departed coffee fueled maniac Titius has been a force to be reckoned with since he showed up on our doorstep. Though he is no longer with Clan Scholae Palatinae, he did get his start with us. The fever pitch with which he attacks activities is beyond measure. All the numbers presented by in the recommendations of the leaders of Clan Plagueis corroborate that.

That constant flow of activity is missed by CSP, but we also celebrate the achievements of member who venture on beyond our Clan. Titius went to Plagueis to better himself and explore leadership opportunities. This appears to be paying off well for him!

While we do miss having him around, CSP is proud to have witnessed at least some of his ascension to this monumental level. Congratulations Titius! Keep up the fantastic work!

Titius has only been on my staff for just shy of a month, most of which I've spent dealing with RL instead of giving my newly hired staff the direction and training they deserve. However, within minutes of hiring, Titius made his presence felt. The HM staff channels have been very quiet since well before I took over--quiet to the point that it often felt like I was talking to myself. Titius and his two new colleagues immediately shattered that quiet, teeming with ideas and, when I made them drink from a firehose of SOPs and planning docs, begging me for more. Thus it's hardly surprising that he's already graded 15 exams, but this is only the tip of the iceberg for the career he has in front of him.

New members don't just walk into their first staff job with all of the knowledge and skills they'll need, but these things can be taught. I can't teach passion. That was the one thing I needed my new staffers to bring, and Titius made it clear to me immediately that he did. I eagerly await the chance to write a more thorough rec for his EQ4 promotion.
