Sklib has been an inspirational leader for me. I have been a member of this club for nearly four years, but the first three years of that was a time in which I was barely active. I responded to AWOL messages and did the occasional Tal Trivia, but for all rights, I was dead. It wasn’t until Sklib became the Tetrarch of Hex that I was really inspired to step up my participation. We’ve since become friends, and as his AED, I look to him for guidance in how to lead the house, and right recommendations. He demonstrates his ability to task manage almost daily, juggling gaming, trivia and personal pursuits as well as heading up an effort in creating a DJB Call of Duty Guild, providing activities for the House, reviewing member participation, and general his overwhelming presence on both IRC and the Clan Forums.

I respect Sklib for his ability to find the good in all people, in a club where many are quick to judge and put down. He’s always a helping to all in need, whether they are from his house or not, and finds little wrong in venturing out of the Clan to seek opportunities. He is a well rounded individual, and as you can tell from the other Recommendations, deserving of this Promotion. Great Work and Good Luck Sklib!

Getting close to eight months ago Hel-Pa Sklib was promoted to Templar, since that time he's continued to rock in all ways possible for his House, Clan, and beyond.

Within days from his last promotion he was moved over to House Ektrosis to take the position of Quaestor and prepare the House for the on coming Great Jedi War. I knew he would do great with it just from the fantastic work done in Dinaari, but here we are today and he's still doing exactly what's been asked of him. He has worked with Vodo and Alanna to provide a well-balanced House Summit providing reports, competitions, and all pitching in to help every new member excel. Sklib has filed thirteen reports, ran seven competitions with one of those being pretty large for the House, jumped in as the Clan ACC Trainer for new members, encouraged members to get involved with the Tal Times and other projects, and most of all pushed for more communication which we all should be doing. He's always accessible via email and IRC. As far as leadership goes, Sklib has been on top of it, some excellent work.

Beyond that he has been quite active personally. He has passed nine Shadow Academy courses, earned a Scroll of Indoctrination, taken forty-six Cluster of Fire, won seven Legion of the Scholar from the many Trivia sessions he has taken part in, and been given three Crescents for placing in competitions, though I know he's participated in more than a hand full. Looking at the ACC, Sklib has been in a good number of matches and currently is in the final matchup of the ACC Championship round. As Vodo mentioned he has put effort into getting a DJB Call of Duty Guild going for those interested in that which seems to have grabbed quick a few. Considering he spends time running a House and assisting the Clan Summit when asked, he's been active in everything.

I know he was awarded a Steel Cross after the Eighth Great Jedi War, but his work there as a leader at least should be taken into account. While he had time to jump in ten events earning the Clan some much needed points, he pushed his House through the War with regular updates as well as attending to normal duties. With people like Sklib we keep on winning Vendetta after Vendetta.

Sklib has recently taken on the position of Praetor to the Master at Arms of which I have high hopes for him in while remaining in House leadership, so he's work level has increased, but I have no doubt he'll be able to handle it and continue to learn the ropes of the MAA Office. For his continued service to his House, Clan, and Brotherhood, through general membership and leadership, I believe it's time we honor Sklib with a promotion to the rank of Obelisk Prelate. Thank you for your loyalty, dedication, and support my friend!
