This may sound hyperbolic, but I can say without a doubt that Teylas is the most consistent Brotherhood Leader that I’ve ever worked with. Nearing on a year as House Ajunta Paul’s Quaestor or Aedile, Teylas has put out a report not a day later than the 11th each month. Not only does Teylas work quickly, he sets a high bar of quality for himself as well. Teylas has never missed a deadline, be it one that I’ve asked for him or one which he sets for himself.

Last year, Teylas was BTL of an Independant House. Now he is Quaestor of a Clan, and was instrumental in that transition. He was involved in the Clanning document, and helped write Plagueis’ new fictional identity. In large events, House Ajunta Paul is consistently outperforms House Karness Murr, not just becuase of the work of a few star members, but in general participation. By all metrics, House Ajunta Paul is the more successful House in Clan Plagueis, and I believe Teylas’ leadership is a large contributing factor. Teylas is not one that is content to sit back; when he sees something that can be changed or improved, he will take it upon himself. Teylas knows how to get people active.

Without Teylas, the two most recent Clan events, Spheres of Influence and the Anchorage wouldn’t have gotten off the ground. Teylas wrote a large part of the Spheres of Influence plot and helped with the NPCs involved in the Spheres of Influence event. When it became clear that the Clan needed something to bridge the gap between FL3 and the GJW, I went to Teylas with the proposal that he could take the lead in running an event. Less than two weeks later, the Anchorage event started, and I listed the entirety of my contribution to the planning. Taking advantage of fiction that he had been writing during over the course of several months in reports, Teylas developed the story, timeline and 8 events events on his own. The structure of the event was rather unique, as members were put into teams of 5. He and Arden split the grading, allowing me to participate as a member. The scoring system for both these events greatly weighted member participation over placement and as such they were successful in driving up unit participation. Who designed this system? Teylas did.

Teylas also leads by example. He was one of only a handful of members to participate in every event in all parts of Fading Light. He is one of the most active gamers in Plagueis, one of the few sitting at GMRG rank XI, and having amassed close to 2000 CoFs in the past year mostly through ToR raiding. Teylas participated in the ACC open Beta ladder (despite his general dislike for the venue). In short, Teylas has never backed down when it came to representing Clan Plagueis on the Brotherhood scale.

The task of running a unit is difficult, and Teylas has been a rock for not only Plagueis, but me personally. I whenever I talk to Teylas, I know that I am getting an honest opinion. He won’t sugarcoat anything, and this sort of truthful feedback is extremely valuable. Teylas has an extremely sharp instinct when it comes to both people and ideas. His personal touch helped get two members to DJK as their master.

Sacramental awards are proof of consistent, sustained effort. For over a year now, Teylas has been consistently, reliably, pushing Clan Plagueis to bigger and better things. Without him, we would not be where we are today.

Congratulations Teylas, you deserve it.

Shadow's return to the Voice staff has been most welcome. While his major projects are still taking shape, Shadow has drastically increased turnaround time on character sheets and competition approvals, notching the most CSes approved since his appointment to the office back in August - more than 40% of all non-auto approved character sheets! He has approved so many CSes that in his short time here, he has the third most CSes of any person on the Voice staff this year. He jumpstarted a discussion on Aspects and length, has been influential in setting the criteria for Voice competition approval guidelines.

Alaris is a steady hand on the ACC staff. While things have been quiet around the ACC for the last couple months, Alaris has consistently shown himself to be a great grader and active member on our email lists, as well as an active judge when battles pile up. Alaris notched 6 battle judgments through this year, and has also graded the third most qualification exams of anyone on my staff this year.

Viv has been an excellent judge, stepping in immediately and grading up a firestorm. Viv has graded the most battles outside of the ACC Tournament since the ACC's launch at 13, despite only serving as a judge for the last few months. Indeed, Vivackus' total of battles graded is more than double the next nearest judge. He's also been a great test grader, having knocked out a handful of qualification exams. In addition, he has provided valuable feedback as a staff member, and he helped pick up the slack when other judges stepped down or had other commitments. Because of that, Vivackus more than deserves this Grand Cross! Congratulations!

Back in October, Halc stepped down from being a Judge, but up to that point, Halc was my most active Judge, and this is reflected in his judging statistics; since September, Halc has graded more exams than anyone else on my staff and he is tied for third in most battles outside of the ACC Tournament graded despite having stepped down in October. In his time on the ACC Staff, Halc was incredibly helpful, and his presence has been missed. Thank you for your service, Halc!

Xen's been a great addition to the ACC. Xen has served as an ACC Judge now for four months; in that time, he has shown himself to be a capable staff member, weighing in on discussions where needed. He has also has tied for judging the third most battles outside of the ACC tournament in the time period since he was appointed.

Wally has always been a good advisor and an excellent worker. He has approved the second most character sheets in the last couple months, and has found time to judge a couple battles, as well. While the majority of his major projects are still ongoing, he none the less deserves recognition now for his activity on the Voice staff!
