Tyno has been a constant in the DB, but not for the normal things that one might expect. Having played alongside him as far back as I can recall in Star Wars Galaxies, he was always keen on helping people in game, even then. Even though I shortly stopped playing that game, Tyno remained active in that and many other games. His knowledge of the games as well as Star Wars techie stuff in fine detail continues to astound. He's been willing to help with research on personal vanity projects and on big enhancements that require that level of detail. He's helped to train people in-game, helped them to streamline their efforts, and has done so without expecting any kind of reward. Even now, he continues on, plotting and planning for a lightside guild in the upcoming TOR guild. With so much onus being placed on this game, I feel secure in the fact that we have some top people working to keep us on the cusp of preparedness, Tyno among them. Because he doesn't trumpet his work, because he doesn't push his achievements in people's faces, he is often overlooked for the praise he so richly deserves. This promotion is in attempt to solve that. Tyno, please accept this as a token of my esteem, of the Brotherhood's esteem for you and your work.

Thank you. ~Muz Ashen, Dark Lord of the Sith

Tyno has agreed to work with me on "Project Retro" which is essentially the DJB's plan/guideline that will be put into effect on Day 1 of TOR. Tyno put together with assistance of some friends a lightside guild that he showed me shortly after talking to him. His plan was thought out, and his attitude was willing to work with me on the grander scheme of things as a sub-guild to the main DJB. He's prepared himself to work as the guild leader of the DJB's Republic guild, and will be a great help as more information is released to us. Thanks for helping me this far, Tyno and congrats on your promotion! OP Fremoc Pepoi Sadow, Fist of the Brotherhood, Son of Sadow

Tyno has been a vital part of House Odan-Urr since joining. Not only is one of the oldest out of the closet Light Side members in the DJB, but he's also one of the most active. He has accumulated nearly 500 Clusters of Fire and 8 Gold Novae since his last promotion. This impressive number of awards is supplemented by 5 Crescents, an Anteian Cross, a Steel Cross, and two Dark Crosses. Awards aside, Tyno is one of the most prolific members Odan-Urr has. Not only is he an incredibly talented gamer, but he's also on the front lines of several developing projects. He was involved in Odan-Urr pretty much from the start, contributing ideas to the fictional development (particularly of the run on and city of Menat Ombo). He is also working extremely closely with both Muz and Fremoc regarding the creation of a SWTOR Republic-aligned guild for the DJB, which he founded on the 10th of March. His undying level of activity (over several years I might add) and devotion to Jedi/Hippyism makes Tyno a model member for the new house and I cannot think of anybody who deserves a promotion like this more.

Congrats Tyno! Ji
