I have known Slags for an exceedingly long time, longer than almost anyone else in this club. He can be argumentative (I have received some long emails from Slags), but I learned years ago that it comes from a good place: a desire to improve the club and the experience of the average member, not out of self interest or love of debate. His devotion to this club and to Clan Plagueis is impressive and greatly appreciated. Congrats, Slags!

Selika Roh di Plagia, Dread Lord of Clan Plagueis.

Despite the title, there is zero dread when interacting with this Consul. In the short time that I have had the pleasure of serving under "Slags", I have learned valuable lessons that boost my competencies as a Quaestor and the standing of the clan. Always available for feedback and guidance, Selika focuses on improving the clan through its members one interaction at a time.

Congratulations to you, Prophet. A well deserved promotion.

There are a lot of people in the Brotherhood who have mentored me, supported me, worked with me, and influenced me during my career. Slags is the reason that I've have as successful a time in the DB as possible. That isn't hyperbole for the sake of a recc.

Slags knows how to put the fire under people's feet, or occasionally their rear ends, to get them to be the best possible version of themselves. He doesn't have to be the most liked to get the best results. Looking at the history of the summit under him and the potential that has been created under his current reign is enough. If he were to retire tomorrow, there are no less than 4 Plagueians who could step in as Consul and be ready for the responsibility, and that is a testament to his leadership, guidance, and development.

Slags is the reason that I am still in the DB to this day, he is the reason for my recent DB-wide event success, he is the reason I am an Elder today. He didn't know all of this before, but he does now.

We are talking about someone who spent years on the DC and instead of retiring into obscurity, he decided to step into a messy situation, bring me along, and restore Plagueis's success. Plagueis wouldn't have finished 2nd in the GJW without Slags.

I am honoured to have been asked to speak to his promotion to Prophet and I am thrilled to get to be one of the people who gets congratulate him first.

Slagar, you are a gd superhero. Congratulations on your extremely well deserved promotion to EL3.

Four score and seven years ago, Slags took a chance on letting a nervous new journeyman step into a roll of leadership. While the nervousness never subsided, Slags’ confidence in me has led to amazing opportunities and the ability to see Plagueis change and grow under his leadership. This is just one example of a countless many, where Slags could see the potential in people and offered the opportunity to let it grow offering advice along the way, ensuring every team he was a part of was successful by literally every metric. While he can be blunt at times, Slags is extremely passionate about pushing people to be the best that they can be and getting the most out of his team in a way that puts the member experience first and foremost. With an infectious desire to see the members of the clan grow and succeed, the results of every event Plagueis has participated in under Slags’ leadership should be evidence enough of the strength of his leadership. While the recs he has written for members of the clan summit attribute these success to the Quaestors and Proconsuls of the clan, it’s time for Slags to take some of the credit.

I can honestly say that I would not be the member I am today and the clan would not be the powerhouse it is without Slags at the helm, pushing the summit to lead by example and Do All The Things (™). Congratulations Slags on a very well deserved promotion!

I am not going to look at Slagar’s statistics and hard website accomplishments for this recommendation. I’m simply going to use a criteria I mentioned on another high level recommendation this week.

Slagar loves the DB. You don’t stick around this long and serve in these many high level positions if you don’t love the Club.

Slagar has worked to improve our club for years and has participated in countless improvements to it. He has been a rock for Clan Plagueis and has made it one of our better and more stable/inviting places for our members. He has also been a voice of reason and a poignant counter voice to many decisions the club has made. While we didn’t always agree on decisions, I always knew Slagar was providing honest and candid feedback based on logic and reason. I couldn’t have asked for a better voice to provide input during my two tours as GM and three tours as DGM.

Slags, you deserve this promotion in this system and any system we have ever had in the club. Congratulations.

Grand Master Declan Roark, 2024-06-07 17:20:52 UTC

Slags, you are truly a goliath of the DB. You have been here for so long and seen so many changes to the club, and you have been instrumental in positive experiences for many members, myself included. Seeing Plagueis grow under your watchful eye has been nothing short of an honor. Being able to work with you as my second, then as your second, and then simply as a friend is something I will not forget.

Your work in the Shadow Academy, as Herald, as Consul, and as simply an active member is unparalleled. You worked with me to vastly improve and add to the SA's repertoire of courses. You demonstrated artistic prowess when designing lightsabers and beyond. You oversaw Plagueis killing it in multiple vendettas. You cared, and still care, deeply about the participation of the unit as a whole. It's not about just the big guns for you, but also every member aboard the metaphorical ship.

I know I'm not very active anymore and we don't chat much these days, but please remember the positive impact you've had on this club and multiple individuals. There have been challenges, of course, but you've overcome them all. Your resilience, tolerance for bs, and knack for fixing what's broken are nothing to sneeze at.

I'm proud of you, Slags. This promotion could not come soon enough. Congratulations.
