Nikola Valtiere stepped into the position of Battle Team Leader for Void Squadron only days before the first round of the Dark Crusade kicked off. Despite having only a short amount of time to prepare and still learning the dynamics of being on the Arcona Summit he rose to each challenge he was met with in the coming weeks. Nikola set the example for his Battle Team, participating in four of the six events which were run during this phase. He submitted entries for the Ancient Stones Fiction, The Hunt Graphics Competition, completed the Cryptology SA Course with a score of 95, and assisted the Wiki Team Arcownage in securing second place.

However, not content to only participate during the Dark Crusade Events Nikola also completed both the Leadership Studies and Leadership Fundamentals Shadow Academy Courses to continue developing his skills and abilities as a Battle Team Leader. It is important to mention that Nikola completed these courses while at the same time competing in the Dark Crusade! In addition to this self development he recently participated in The Dark Crusade Prologue Run On, earning two Clusters of Ice.

Nikola has set the standard for how to be an exemplary Journeyman member. Showing not only the drive to see his Clan succeed in a competitive Brotherhood wide competition, but also the self awareness and time management to seek out additional knowledge from the Shadow Academy to ensure success as an individual. For all of the versatility and promise of great things to come, I am proud to award Nikola Valtiere for a Steel Cross.

Congratulations, Jedi Hunter Valtiere!

During Phase I of the Dark Crusade, Nadrin participated in five of the six events held on Krayiss II, Completing both ficitons, the graphics, shadow academy course and was part of the Arcownage wiki team, providing both content and proofing the work of other team members. He placed second as part of Team Arcownage, earning a Silver Nova in the process. His activity during the Dark Crusdae has been exemplary so far, and is a beacon of what a good member of the Brotherhood should be.

In light of his activity and achievements, I am honoured to award Nadrin Erinos Arconae an Anteian Cross

Nadrin was one of the most active members of House Qel-Droma during this first round of the Dark Crusade. I fully support Valtiere's recommendation, and am proud to congratulate Nadrin on a job well done. Nicely done Nadrin, we're looking forward to seeing a repeat performance in the March round!

Submitted on behalf of Socorra Erinos:

To say that Valhavoc has been "busy" is an overwhelming understatement. This man is never content unless he's managing near or full 100% participation in anything, and heaven forbid he has to go on RL vacation for a couple of days. He was a great boon to Galeres and now Qel-Droma, and frankly, in the short time he's been my Aedile, I'm completely floored by what he's managed to do already, along with the great maturity and professionalism he has brought with him.

Valhavoc established a brand new Battleteam from scratch in Galeres and proceeded to build it up with diligence and care, until it eventually became the top BT we had in Arcona with fantastically active members with a desire to improve and win in events such as Beyond the Horizon where it did just that for several months. Then Qel-Droma had an Aedile vacancy and he stepped up and again moved into a brand new position for him, and was literally thrown right into the Crusade vendetta. And I am very happy to report that he took to it like a fish to water.

Val threw out numerous emails to our members to introduce himself to the House and motivate everyone for the oncoming Vendetta, finished out his own BT's report so that he could move and let the new BTL come in well-organized, and helped to write a report for the HQD Summit, as well as came up with a rewards matrix to help our Summiters reward people, and became a wonderful sounding board for myself as well as bringing in some great wisdom born from real life experience. And then, on top of all of this, Valhavoc participated in 5 events during the vendetta: Stones fiction, Graphics, Gaming, SA Encryption, and of course, the Wiki competition, in which he assisted his team in winning fourth place, and helping Arcona win 2nd place overall during the Crusade.

As if that wasn't enough, he has also recently obtained a Scroll of Foundation for mentoring Montresor to DJK. Monty has gone on to wildly participate in the Vendetta, no doubt partially due to Val's diligence in tutoring him. On top of his merits, Val was also an extremely active participant during Beyond the Horizons Arcona/Plagueis Feud, and obtained an Amethyst x6 for 3rd place in BTH RO, 1st place Acro, 3rd place fiction, 1st place wk2 BTH acro, 2nd place BTH battleplan, and 2nd place for wk2 BTH fiction, plus a Legion of the Scholar for 1st place in BTH Trivia as well as a Diamond Star for 1st place overall in BTH. Aside from BTH he has also won a Sapphire x1 for 1st place in the Defeat Diablo competition, Emerald x1 for 3rd place in "The Great Error Hunt", Cluster of Ice x5 for his participation in the Avenger II run-on and Val has also earned himself an incredible 722 Clusters of Fire for TOR/Diablo participation as well as 3 Pendants of Blood.

So again, "busy" is an overwhelming understatement. Valhavoc has been an amazing boon to Arcona through his hard work and dedication and I have nothing but great faith in what he will accomplish as Aedile. It is my pleasure to request this GC for him to show our appreciation.

I would just like to take a moment to add a few sentences to Sock's comments.

Valhavoc has been a boon to Arcona since he joined. His work on the gaming front, his activity within the Clan, his ability to lead even before being awarded a leadership position all speak of his wide array of talents and abilities. I feel honoured, if not graced, to finally have him as a colleague within the Arconan summit.

His work speaks for itself, as Socorra has demonstrated, he does everything off his own back, in his own time, all for the benefit of Arcona and its members. This, above all else, defines his role as a member of this Brotherhood. Without people like him, this would be a dull, dreary place.

Well done, Val. You've earned it.
