For contributions to the Character Sheet 2.0 project in the form of email-discussion feedback and input, writing, creating, and debating content as well as assisting with general tasks to the Combat Master and Voice Staff over the course of the ongoing project.

TR was very vocal in the Species discussion threads that came up multiple times over the course of CS 2.0 discussions. He was active on both Telegram and Email threads on a regular basis, and was one of the first people to try and tackle a template and write up for the initial Species 2.0 document. He weighed in on Force Power behavior, gave feedback on Skill Teir mechanics and write ups as well.

Thank you for your hard work.

For contributions to ACC Venues 2.0 by providing detailed write-ups of venues that have become apart of the ACC. Adem wrote the Kamino Landing platform in great detail, which served as the example I used to show the other contributors of how I wanted ACC Venues to be written. He also drafted the Hoth: Ice Caves, which were revised by A'lora and I. Adem joined for a short time, but accomplished something great that really added to the project and created on of my favorite venues.

Thank you for your hard work.

For contributions to ACC Venues 2.0 by providing detailed write-ups of venues that have become apart of the ACC. Kiwi co-wrote the Oricon: Ruined Fortress and Oricon: Starship Graveyard. Both of these venues have been popular selections since being green-lit and members are enjoying writing in them. He was vocal in the Species email thread discussion, weighed in on the 1-5 Weapons Skills tiers for "Blunt Weapons" and "Bladed Weapons".

Thank you for your hard work.

Wraith came to us mere days ago and he already showed his ability to dedicate to the club. With those couple of days he completed 4 degrees, to include 2 Mavens, and 28 courses taken. Last but not least he earned 4 PoBs. I'm excited to see where Wraith will go within CSP. Keep up the great work!

Turel was one of the first members I drafted to become part of my CS 2.0 Development team. It started with him complaining to me about how the Disciplines were very “Dark Side”. It was never something that had occurred to me, but when we sat down to try and workshop it, I realized he had a very good point. Fast forward to the announcement of the new Paths and Orders (and the inclusion of Gray Jedi) and his forward thinking all of a sudden looks borderline clairvoyant. Instead of just throwing his hands up at something he did not like, Turel offered suggestions on how the Disciplines could be neutralized. As we started to work on those together, he also became my go-to for extracting the old Discipline Feats and helping me re-write and workshop them logistically. Disciplines are one of the marquee features of CS 2.0 and Turel’s input was invaluable to me on what I consider my biggest contribution to the Character Sheets. Without him, I don’t think that this would have gotten done.

Beyond that, Turel has been, and continues to be, one of the most vocal members of the CS Development team. He has had a hand in helping argue and discuss countless Skills, Force Powers and Feats and is responsible for the new addition of “Tactics” that has become a popular selection.

Turel is a stellar example of a Brotherhood Leader who doesn’t stop at his “salary” job to still put his heart and soul into an unofficially team role. This is me rewarding his trust in me, and a way of thanking him for the hard work. Thanks, Turel!

Nathan/Denath is kind of a wizard. He’s the kind of wizard that when given a task, simply goes about it like a whirlwind and then when it’s done, you’re left with the desired result of what you had asked for. While his primary focus became my official “Spreadsheet/Data Wizard” for CS 2.0, he was also engaged in every discussion we had about the content that would be going in and tried his hand at writing a handful of improvements.

One of the first things Denath did was create the “Corrected Feats” tab for the Feats 2.0 spreadsheet This involved combing through all existing feats in the database that had syntax, typos, and spelling errors (hey, Google Sheets doesn’t have spellcheck, sue us --CS 1.0 writers) and highlighting them for revision when I would manually go in and update all the Feats. The overall sheet he created, with breakdown, helped us map out which skills/powers lacked Feats, which contributed to us being able to create more Feats for more diversification of character. As with anything he created, Denath created tables, filters, text wrapping, and all the awesome things that made it easier for me to create, organize, and delegate tasks for moving the project forward. He proofed a lot of the syntax coding for the {brace} code for Force Powers, Feats, Skills and the Disciplines document. He color coded the Feats+Breakdown to help keep it organized, and imported data between sheets/tables using automagic-sorcery that I don’t know how he did it but just know that he made it work, and it’s awesome. He helped create two Feats that were added into the system, and penned out 11 Pre-Written Aspects that I was able to revise, lightly edit and add into the system. He penned out the first drafts of the 1-5 tier write ups for 18 Force Powers, which laid the groundwork for revision and editing down the line. He contributed to discussions about Feats and Force powers, along with critiquing and providing feedback on various content.

He also worked with Alora on creating the Species Bible Overview, pulling from the statistics provided by James. Denath helped pen the entries for 10 Races (Echani, Duros, Umbaran, Elomin, Epicanthix, Gungan, Iktotchi, Kaleesh, Sakiyan and contribution to the Miraluka box).

Denath Wiki-fied the Fore Powers, Skills, and Disciplines pages, utilizing Templates that were created by Terran Koul and Mav. This included creating a category for the Species images (Category:Images-Species) to make sure the Wiki folks didn't cross with us. He manually uploaded (since there is no bulk option) 53 species images to the WIki, including fair use and category tags with original image links (made by A’lora). He then continued to assist with debugging and keeping on top of edits that were required for post-launch maintenance. He created the bug tracker that I am using now to make sure that the whole of the CS Project is made as perfect (presentation wise, at least) as it can be.

All of this shows a certain kind of long-term loyalty to not himself, but the Brotherhood as a whole. For this, I believe that Denath is the MVP of the CS 2.0 project. I don’t think I would have made it happen without him. Thanks Denath for everything. I really appreciate it.

Terran came in and stepped up for the last phase of the CS 2.0. When I needed it most, he was able to effortlessly immerse himself in the various tasks that needed to be accomplished for launch to happen. One of the most noticeable ones that members of the Brotherhood will see is the beautifully designed Wikipedia templates for Disciplines, Skills, Species, and Force Powers. I outlined a vision I had, and Terran patiently workshopped and magic’d the Wiki style sheets to reflect my designs. The result is easy to read, neat, and well presented source material/information for the Brotherhood's Character Sheets.

Beyond this, Terran is the most active contributor to CS Development discussions. He has offered feedback and alternative solutions to almost every single subject that comes up, without fail. His consistency, passion, and drive are infectious in driving conversations, and while not all of his suggestions make it in, they are always pushing and questioning the team to do its best to make the best calls.

Where Terran really earned this Steel Cross, however, is in the initiative he took in creating something I had not even considered: the Character Sheets Q&A. I had been trying to think of how best to handle the plethora of technical questions that were thrown at the team for clarification on CS 2.0 changes. The Q&A is now an easy place to point members at, and will become a staple and important key to better understanding of the sheets across the board for multiple Brotherhood competitions that rely on the CSs.

For all of this, and the continued contributions to the CS Development team, thank you, Terran. I really appreciate it.

I made it a few months without relying on my official proof-wench--I mean buddy. I had gotten so spoiled by it that I didn’t realize until the end of CS 2.0 development that I was missing a key component. Originally brought in for the Great Miraluka Debate (don’t ask), Atyiru never really went away or faded back. She quietly managed to slip her opinion into the discussions that followed, and volunteered to help with small tasks like looking up a piece of information for me. Beyond that, Atyiru did a full pass over almost every document before it was published, finding and spotting grammar and syntax errors and offering suggestions on alternative wording and changes. Even after being posted to the Wiki, she still managed to find and spot errors that were able to be fixed. Atyiru has also contributed greatly to discussions relating to the future of the CS’s, and brings an level of introspection and calmness that the...opinionated CS Development team sometimes desperately needs.

Thanks for all the hard work on short notice and in the last stretch of the project, Atty. I appreciate it.

Arden triples down as a member of the Voice Staff, ACC Staff, and the CS Development team. For CS 2.0, Arden was involved in every single major discussion involving Feats, Aspects, Skills, Force Powers, Disciplines, and Species. Active in both Telegram and Email threads, he became a key proofer/checker on anything that was written/created. He did multiple passes as we went along and made sure I’s were dotted and T’s were crossed. While not flashy or glamorous, his attention to small details help reflect the true polish of every aspect of CS 2.0. On the content side, Arden wrote over a dozen Species and researched their details and wrote the first drafts of their Feats. He penned three Aspects that ended up being added into the database as well. Again, while Ardens behind-the-scenes work may go overlooked, he is the most active member of the team, responds to tasks assigned quicker than most and is not afraid to switch between the innumerous documents and sheets that made up CS 2.0’s backend.

On top of all of this, Arden did one of the harder manual input jobs of CS 2.0’s launch. He manually added/edited the 2 new Species Feats on the database end. This requires careful data entry combined with making sure the right filters/rules are selected from the creation boxes. Arden did this quickly and efficiently in time with the launch of CS 2.0

Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to work on, Arden. I appreciate it.
