Kristeva is a member of some length in our Clan and within our club. She has stuck with Clan Naga Sadow and while life can keep us all busy, she keeps coming back bit by bit. In looking at our roster late this last evening, I noticed that K was still sitting at the rank of Equite 1 and found myself mildly baffled. I know that many times Equite promotions are spurred on by wild bursts of sustained activity, but I think that given the extended time that Kristeva has stuck with us, that she is worthy of consideration.
Since her last promotion some five years ago, K has still managed to accrue a tidy little package of activities and club shinies. Having run Clan trivia, a fiction competition spurred on an in character dream, a Halloween fiction competition in 2018 and a Halloween graphics competition themed around fear it is not as though this Mystic has not made her own little mark in our community.
A large part of Kristeva's activity is evident in competition participation, gaming, writing and the Shadow Academy. In the competitive realm, she has completed some 33 competitions (50 if you include brackets and containers). More than just this, she has competed in 5 legacy PVP matches, participated in 23 gaming activities completed 4 ACC battles and has participated in another 5 fiction activities. She also earned 2 Seals of Wrath by supporting Clan Naga Sadow in Great Jedi War XII. Some of the other competition goodies earned include a Crescent with a Diamond Star for the November 2020 SA Decathalon, 3 Crescents with a Ruby Star for the Destiny Send off and the Shadow Academy 4th Quarter Decathlon in 2020, a Crescent with an Emerald Star for a fiction competition in our Tensions in the Orian Empire event in 2020, and a Crescent with a Topaz Star for participating in part of our 2016 HSD-election based event. Also worth noting is that Kristeva earned a Legion of the Scholar for running a trivia event in our Clan channel.
Let me tackle gaming and fiction in a little more detail.
How varied have her activities been? Well, those gaming activities have been spread between a Heroes of the Storm matches with Clanfolks, Strikes in Destiny, Crucible Matches in the same, and completing rifts in Diablo 3 with fellow club members. For these efforts? Kristeva has scored 58 Clusters of Fire, 72 Clusters of Earth and 6 Pendants of Blood.
Her fiction pursuits have been spread across the aforementioned ACC battles, a Run-On (with 1641 words spread over 3 posts), role playing (totaling 434 words at present), and 3 regular fiction competitions at the tune of another 2885 words. This equals up to a cool, cool 28 Clusters of Ice! This isn't to say that K's creative talents are limited only to fiction, as she has also earned 3 Clusters of Graphite for participation in graphics activity.
A third thing which I think is worthy of some recognition is that even though real life has kept Kristeva from our midst intermittently, she still has managed to find some time to peek into the halls of the Shadow Academy. 34 courses over a variety of subjects have been passed, and no less than 7 degrees have been earned by her. These include not only 4 Mavens in Lore, Galactic History, Legends and Historical Legends but also 2 Savants (in History and Lore and Legends) and a Sage in History and Lore!
Looking at the recommendations written for the 3 Dark Crosses that Kristeva has earned since her last promotion, it is clear that she is a valued member of the Sadowan corner of the club and our corner of that galaxy far, far away. I and others have thoroughly enjoyed Kristeva's company over the years. That is not why I am writing this promotion request, however. Keeping that mindset of giving members of what they have earned, I want to be sure that we do not sell Kristeva short.
I hope that if things shake out that she will return to our midst and I hope that she will find the time to game, to write, and to compete/participate with all of us in Clan Naga Sadow and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood as a whole.
It has taken a while for us to get there, but it is my pleasure to write this recommendation. Drinks will be on you aboard the Perdition tonight, Savant Kristeva!
