Elevation Request: Obelisk Prelate Exodius (1845)

I have known Exodius for what it seems forever. And, since his return back to active status, he has once again proved to be a pivotal member that the Clan can look to for support. He jumped in head first to help the DB claim victory in the ORW, fought hard against the Arcana's during our feud, and gamed like a fiend during the RoS to help secure our second place finish. Also, as of late, he has been working with the clan summit in creating quick and fun competitions to help keep the members active in the down period to the GJW. Exp has always been a member that I could turn to when in need of advice and help going back to the days when I worked as his RM & AED, a trait that stills flourishes today. It is with great honor and pride that i recommend Exodius to the Rank of Prelate. I raise my glass to you sir.

Wow... it has been nearly three years since our good friend Exodius has received a promotion.

Since that last promotion, Exodius has done a lot concerning personal activity. He has earned over forty Clusters of Fire, several Crescents, and several Seals for participation in vendettas - from the Fifth Great Jedi War to the most recent Rite of Supremacy. Even though there have been a few breaks from the DJB here and there throughout his career, a mug of beer is always waiting for him when he decides to come back home.

Even though his activity isn't ridiculously high, I definitely think he has earned this promotion. Exodius is encouraging, helpful, friendly, and fun to be around. He's always quick with his fingers in case someone has a question and he embodies the "accept all" spirit that makes Scholae Palatinae what it is - fun. He's a welcoming presence and is always there whenever we need some Trandoshan muscle. His sense of humor is great and it's always fun to shoot him in JA. :)

He is a great asset to the Clan as a whole, and because of his contributions into making the Clan what it is today, I believe that Exodius is ready to be promoted after those long three years.

Congratulations, my brother, you've earned it. :)

RevengeX Palpatine Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco

GJW6 contributions - Exodius - MP Gaming - 52 points - 89th Overall

Scholae Palatinae battled through the Seventh Great Jedi War to attain the prestigious title of Second Clan. Under the banner of the dragon, fifty three (53) individuals contributed to our final standings - assisting in a multitude of manners across a broad spectrum of events. Of these warriors, I present an individual of great achievement before the Master At Arms to be rewarded for their contributions in this Vendetta.

In the most recent of GJWs, Exodius assisted in the Run-On and provided some much needed support on the JA/JO/JK Ladder where he played several TFFA/CTF matches with great success - collecting 29 points. Of course, the most telling reason for this promotion is his participation in a host of Vendettas: GJW5, KRoS, IG2k5, ORoS, GJW6, HAD vs. HC, CSP vs. ARC, RoS:SD and GJW7. While his participation may not have been dynamite in any single event, he has been diligent in continually providing assistance to the Clan in a time of War... stimulating discussion (Clan direction, SW Books, Email threads) and served as a CSP Senator for much of my tenure at Consul.

His time is due. His elevation to Obelisk Prelate should come now, as the Clan embraces their newfound success.

This has been an award waiting for Vodo for so long, and it's my pleasure to finally give my Aedile the recognition he deserves for his service in Ektrosis and Taldryan. When I first joined the Brotherhood, Vodo was a guide of sorts to me, and helped me through a lot of my initial struggles as a leader in Battleteam Hex. I had little idea what I was doing, and he coached me up and gave me pointers on the best way to raise activity and prove I was a dedicated member of the House. After building Hex to its pinnacle of activity and domination, I was appointed Aedile of Dinaari and left my beloved House Ektrosis for a few months before returning again to fill a vacancy of QUA due to some Summit position shifting. Vodo had sprung in activity over this period of time, and left Hex himself to become BTL of Phoenix, a struggling Battleteam.

During this time period, Vodo organized the Ektrosis Olympics under QUA Chaosrain's approval, and the Battleteams had a series of events that tested each member against their brothers and sisters in other Battleteams. The competition was beautifully organized, and went fairly well than most anticipated. His eagerness to raise activity and engage other members of his House has been a constant theme in his years in Ektrosis, and was recognized by his appointment to Aedile as I transferred back to Ektrosis. I was more than delighted to work with Vodo, and really wouldn't have it any other way. He's friendly, good-natured, and always in a positive mood, something that I occasionally have trouble with :P

Vodo has been an engaged and active leader in Ektrosis, always finding some way we could make the House better, boost morale, or just have more fun. His ideas are creative and witty, although sometimes a little too creative :P . He was an active member of the Seventh Great Jedi War, participating in the run on, three poetry/gfx events, four fiction events, and fought in the ACC. His dedication and loyalty to Taldryan deserves recognition, and I believe an elevation to the Equite ranks serves him justice. Congratulations, Priest Biask, you've earned this one!

+OT Sklib+

This promotion has been held over a week longer than I hoped so I won’t waste more time with a huge recommendation when Sklib has put it so well. Vodo has been in Taldryan for years and over the past say year and a half he has really stood out in House Ektrosis and scored well for us in two Great Jedi Wars, a Rite of Supremacy, and many other things including leadership spots and competition participation. Congratulations on this well earned award Vodo.

For Taldryan,

Obelisk Primarch Duga Taldrya Arkarso Consul and Son of Clan Taldryan Planetary Viceroy of Karufr, Regent of the Kr'Tal System <br>

Vodo did a great job as Ektrosis’ Aedile ever since he was given the job. He did two fictions earning the clan bonus points with one; he did three graphics earning extra points for the clan with two of them; he had six wins in the ACC, and made twelve posts in the run on earning the clan major participation points in that event. Vodo also helped lead Ektrosis during the war. The encouragement he gave to his members was greatly appreciated and needed. Vodo’s term as Aedile of Ektrosis has been a productive one. He does everything he needs to and often goes beyond the call to help his members. He is a true leader, and someday will be a big part of the DB. Congratulations Vodo, you earned this!

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Aalos Fier for a promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. One of the most active and dedicated members of Clan Plagueis, I already know that Fier is going to end up on clan summit sooner or later. Always helping out with projects, he is currently working with Kal on a battleteam revamp, and has already volunteered to help me with Wiki articles.

As battleteam leader, Aalos has kept the team up to date with reports, ran an AWOL check, gotten the team full of active members, and ran several competitions. During the Great Jedi War, Fier participated in seven events: six fiction events and the run-on, which he had several posts in. All of this was done around real life constraints, and in the end his activity was one of the highest in Plagueis.

For his Knight Trials, he participated in the Great Jedi War, passed the Plagueis History SA course, and wrote a one page essay on what being a leader means to him. While this may not seem like much, the time it took to participate in the Great Jedi War and be the BTL he was was considerable. Fier is a guy who truly deserves these promotions, for his hard work and dedication to the clan. Now, this promotion will make his career all the more plentiful, something I know he is looking forward to. Congratz, be careful with your lightsaber. ~ CON Aabs

Fier…a lot of things come to mind when I think of that name. He is one of the most active people in Clan Plagueis and House Exar Kun that I know. During his time as a Jedi Hunter, he’s participated in many competitions. The most important ones being in the Great Jedi War; seven Seals of Pain were the fruit of that work. He had to take a few emergency LoAs during the war, but nonetheless he was one of the most influential among the fighting ranks. Fier has also been a great leader…during my latest tenure as Sith Commander of Exar’s Shadow, I chose Fier as Flight Leader to train him as my eventual replacement, one who would get the team back on track. Fier hasn’t let me down one time. He keeps timely reports, and he has already begun to think about a Plagueis BT training event. Although his time in the DB is young, he is a natural leader. Brotherhood related or otherwise, I think of Fier as a mentor. I can already see he is mentoring his team members as well, and I know he will be successful…Aalos, this is much deserved. Congrats, buddy. ~ Clan Envoy Dismal Visutor

As of August 25th, Daar has served as Battle Team Leader of Crimson Vanguard for a full four months. During that time he has performed excellently. He has done his best to instill activity in his Battle Team. In the GJW he participated in both gaming ladders and was one of Taldryan's few BF2 players. He also wrote for the Dazed fiction as well as Drowning in the Fog poetry. Where he really excelled, however, was the graphics events. He entered every single one. Although he didn't place in any events, his high levels of participation are commendable.

Battlelord Andan Taldrya Marshall, Quaestor of House Archanis and Son of Taldryan

Daar has stood the test of time and done admirably leading a Battle team in House Archanis, a House still rather small after only opening eight months ago. He has done well for Taldryan in Rite of Supremacy and Great Jedi War since his last promotion, while continuing to lead his troops doing regular reports and competitions now and then. He has passed the test of time, the test of leadership, and the test that shows a true member of Taldryan. I want to thank Daar for his outstanding work and congratulations on your promotion to Dark Jedi Knight!

To be honest, I’m confused why Kal has gone so long without this promotion. Since his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight, it has been over five months, and during nearly all of that time he has held the position of Aedile of House Satal Keto, very well. To start with the activity stuff, Kal has passed two Shadow Academy courses, earned five Emerald crescents, three Sapphire, and two Topaz crescents, as well as a Dark Cross. While this isn’t much, it doesn’t compare to the work Kal has done as Aedile.

Kal is one of those leaders that you know you can count on to get something done. While he may not be the ultimate activity man, he is still someone who you can trust to give a project and get it back within a reasonable time frame. As Aedile he has kept up with reports and other emails informing the house of changes and just plan news. He also always offers his opinion during leader discussions, and I for one appreciate that greatly.

Then, he almost ran House Satal Keto himself during the recent Great Jedi War. While there was a temporary Quaestor in place, Kal was still the one who knew how things worked. He has also been the head guy for a battle team revamp project, basically ramping up the fictional aspects of our battle teams, as well as updating House Satal Keto’s history. He’s also currently working on writing a new artifact for the clan. Despite some real life problems, he still managed to act well as a leader during a large vendetta, and even managed to participate in the Great Jedi War himself.

Speaking of which, during the Great Jedi War Kal earned a total of five Seals of Pain. He participated in the clan run-on, a graphics event, as well as wrote two fiction submissions. These efforts combined with his Aedile work were, and are, greatly appreciated.

It is for all of this that I am proud to promote Kal into the Equite ranks. He is a dedicated member who you know will always be there to lend you a helping hand, and now I’m glad to be able to give him back something for all the work he has done for Clan Plagueis. ~ Consul Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar

Recently Kal has been a great asset to the Clan having stepped up when needed to take command of House Satal Keto after the Quaestor went on a LoA without warning. He has handled himself very well, showing his activity, his drive, and desire to be a part of the Clan. His GJW activity included the fiction ladders, the run-on, and his taking SA courses to aide the Clan in its point standing. Continued service such as Kal’s is not something to be over looked, or under rewarded; therefore I feel that a promotion to the rank of Sith Warrior is more than reasonable. Keep up the great work, Kal. You’ve made us proud. ~ Proconsul Esca

Since his last promotion Brema-sedul has been an outstanding student. His dedication and desire for continuous learning of the dark side is admirable and should be used as an example for our other journeymen. During the 7th Great Jedi War he competed in the JA/JO Ladder playing 51 games, the EaW BF2 Ladder with 26 games. He also submitted 4 graphics enteries and 1 poem. For the Shadow Academy Event he completed Brotherhood basics, AOL Instant Messenger, Pre-Republic History, Clan Plagueis History, Astronomy, and Lightsaber Studies. Since most of his time was geared towards participation in the war I used this to help train him in the art of participation =). He has recently been positioned as a Flight Leader in his battle team and is looking to be a promising example to those around him. Brema has shown that he continues to strive for the perfection that we embody and deserves the rank of Jedi Hunter. ~ Quaestor Ky Terrak

In the rough two months since Brema’s promotion to Guardian, he has been a pivotal part of Clan Plagueis, especially in the recent Great Jedi War. Speaking of which, he took the time to participate in a total of seven events, including four graphic events and gaming in both ladders, which earned him twenty-seven Clusters of Fire. He was also the most active Shadow Academy course taker in Plagueis during the last week, passing some seven-odd courses, for which he was awarded a Sapphire crescent.

Besides all this Great Jedi War activity, though, Brema is also starting to show his willingness to become a leader, and as Flight Leader of Exar’s Shadow has already started training to become one. His future is certainly looking bright, and this promotion is just one more step closer towards reaching that ultimate goal. ~ CON Aabs

Brema Sedul, 2007-08-31 22:00:00 UTC

Kyber has continued to show amazing dedication and willingness as he continues through his trials. Coming in late during the Great Jedi War, he still managed to pass eight Shadow Academy courses, and participate in the final fiction event. Aside from this, though, he has shown great email activity and has now started using IRC to chat with his fellow clanmates. He recently joined Satal Victus has a Flight Leader, and is already showing potential to be a future Battleteam leader. Earning his first medals, a crescent and Seal of Pain, he is slowly starting to move up in the Brotherhood, and is now moving up one more step. ~ CON Aabs
