I am proud and honored to request the Sapphire Blade for SBL Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu-Goura. Macron served the Dark Brotherhood with distinction and skill as the T:DSC. During his reign as the Dark Side Compendium Tribune, Macron created varied and outstanding additions to the Dark Brotherhood lexicon of information. Macron is responsible for nearly every sentence in the DSC and for several articles still to come. I am honored to submit this award on behalf of Macron's Clan who have followed my recommendation with recommendations of their own.<br>

Macron is one of those members who has been truly dedicated in every aspect of his job and wants only to see a positive effect come out of his work. He has never received an award weapon or received the clan title, yet his work is truly worthy of all of these things and much more. After taking the title of Proconcul, he decided to stepd down from DSC Tribune to dedicate his focus onto his clan. He is one of the finest members of the Brotherhood I've met. Mac-daddy, you have earned this and so much more. Congrats, big adopted brother! ^_^<br>

Since taking on the role of PCON for Clan Naga Sadow, Macron has literately hit the ground running. He has taken a special interest in our Jedi Hunters and is spurring them forward towards Knighthood. He also keeps in touch with the summit on everything he is working on including the improvements he is making in the battle teams and the overall fundamentals of the clan. Macron also still actively participates in competitions as well, leading the Clan by example. His work as Tribune can not go unnoticed either as he has risen to that challenge and faced it head on. He truly is deserving of this award.<br>

Macron is a truly unique member of the DB. He's humorous, he's polite, he's helpful and patient with people, and he's extremely creative. He is also one of the hardest working people I've met since joining.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
From what I've seen his work on the DSC is impressive, both in his creativity and skill at writing, and also in his determination to research as much information as possible, speaking and chasing Clans and members to make sure it is as accurate as possible. The quality of the work reflects Macrons personality, he doesn't make a huge fuss, he doesn't self promote himself, he just sees what needs doing and sets about achieving it. He has taken the post of PCON of Naga Sadow, and has set about this position in the same manner, providing information, doing audits on members Knight Trials, polishing up the wiki pages, and writing humorous and detailed reports.<br>

I've worked with Macron in various capacities since I joined, and he is a pleasure to both work with and for and I hope to for a long time to come. I have no doubt that he has earned a Sapphire Blade.<br>

When I first became Consul, every time I was put in a position where I'd have to think about who I'd want to be Proconsul, Macron was one of the choices. He had been Quaestor during a strong period for the Clan, when everyone seemed to be getting along, and we were more unified than I wish we could be again. He was a nice guy, and he did a good job as Quaestor. Trust me, I was a member in his House Ludo Kressh.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
When it finally came time to make him Proconsul, I was a little nervous, because he can't come onto IRC as much as other members of the DB, and therefore isn't as visible as some other members of the DB. However, I took that chance. In the two or three weeks since then, he's turned out to be an excellent Proconsul. He's really taken to keeping track of the members, and is one of the reasons why we have two new Dark Jedi Knights in the last week. During our monthly Conclave, he could only be around for about an hour, but in that hour he worked quickly to make sure all important tasks were discussed. Normally when I run conclave, it's a bit disorganized, but Macron got things done. He even engaged himself in discussions that I'm too lazy to really get myself interested in, and I appreciate that. It means that someone's getting something done.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, this Sapphire Blade is primarily being awarded to Macron because of his work on the Dark Side Compendium. I'm aware that other people have worked on the DSC materials, but it was Macron who finally got it published. Several sections in fact, probably doubling its length. When he got DSC, I was relieved that it was actually being worked on, and that steady progress was being made on it. His DSC skills came in handy before he became Proconsul, when he and a few other members worked vigorously on various wiki pages for the Clan, really fleshing out our background. It's work only some people are willing and able to do, and I'm glad he's one of them.<br>
