Primary reason

Well it's been quite a journey hasn't it? And wonderful timing too for these to come together for you Sivall. I'll start with the numbers as I always do, though it's the least impressive part of what Siv has been up to these last months.

She has organised 21 Competitions, Co-organizing 12, participated in 165 (33 of which containers). This has earned her 1 Crescent with a Diamond Star, 11 with ruby, 7 with Amethyst, 9 with Sapphire, 1 with Topaz and 3 with Quartz. Not only that, but Siv has completed 36 gaming acitivities for 288 Clusters of Fire, and 24 Fiction activities for 70 Clusters of Ice across 17 roleplays, 1 of which she gm'ed as well as 6 typical fictions. But of course it doesn't stop there, as she's earned 42 Clusters of Graphite, 4 Dark Side Scrolls, passed 8 SA courses for 4 Degrees and in doing all of this gained 12 society rank ups and earned 647,470 credits for Arcona!

That's a lot for what, 7 months? Espeically considering that for 5 months Siv has been AED of Galeres and QUA for the last 3 weeks. She has been an exceptional leader, taking the mantle with ease. From encouraging activity with her members through posting regular questions and updates to gathering data on what her members want to do, she's been the fresh breath of air in Galeres that was dearly needed. Siv has created multiple wiki articles, and spent hours of her time researching Selen and the locations appearances to getting her members accurate information about the location that they're playing in. She's also done surveys, ensuring that events and activity reflect what people actually want to do. Reports (5 of which since last award) have been on time, filled with useful information and new graphics that she designs herself.

She also has been a wonderful addition to the summit internally, to being part of the transition in January as a source of non-stop help. Whether it was proofing reports, helping in admin documents and organisation or being on the ground with worried members to provide not only a soundboard, but a source of comfort and information. She played a large part in how smoothly everything went and that alone is huge as it was often hours of effort being put into it. The entire summit can speak to how much effort she puts in every day to keeping up with what's going on, being informed and acting accordingly. It's a pleasure watching Siv work and while sometimes Siv needs to be reminded of this, I have no concerns of Galeres' future under her care and guiding hand.

And I seriously need to catch on to the next Cards Against Humanity night Siv sets up. Make it soon blue-berry, and enjoy the stabby while you've got it. (Maybe carve your initials into Ood, he won't notice!)

Additional reasons

The Amethyst Kukri was originally meant to reward exceptional dedication towards improving your unit or the club as a whole. Recipients had shown their dedication and focus on furthering a specific aspect of the Brotherhood far beyond what was expected of them.

These days, the Amethyst Kukri is awarded to those who have earned a large amount of XP through activity as well as dedicated service to their unit and/or club.

Under both of these definitions and systems, I would be writing a recommendation to award this medal to Zosi’val’ria. Her work to revitalize the Galerean and Arconan DBWiki presence, her dedication to support the members of the House she is leading, her massively impressive social presence on Discord, her desire to deliver anything she works on to an exceptional level of quality would merit the Amethyst Kukri being given out. Add onto that the extremely impressive amount of activity she partakes in and I think I don’t need to explain further why I am writing this supporting recommendation.

Siv, enjoy your first Amethyst Kukri. You’re now no longer on the medal rails either, congratulations on moving beyond that system! Try not to use the big pink stabby item to carve your name into Ood’s bark ok?

Congratulations, Zosi’val’ria! Not for the fact that when I read Miss Siv’s name I do so in the tune of ‘Beata Maria’ in Hellfire from the Hunchback of Notre Damn, and it brings the nostalgia back in full force of one of my favorite movies. No, congratulations for your hard work and commitment to this club earning you an Amethyst Kukri! Dominating out here in graphic comps, collaborating and weaving stories in roleplays and fictions, gaming with peers. And on top of all that, being a solid mantle of a leader within not only Galeres but Arcona as well. Checking on and hearing out your members, providing engaging competitions and questions, ensuring they receive and understand changes in clan and brotherhood. You are a beacon of guidance, support, and community. When faced with a challenge, you are unafraid to roll up your sleeves and hop into the thick of information, to ask questions and seek advice. Resourceful is the word I’m looking for.

So congratulations, Siv, on your Amethyst Kukri. Please explain to Ood when you converse about carving initials that a pinkish amethyst is a ‘raspberry’ and you are most definitely ‘The Blueberry.’ <3
