Betja is a true Taldryan-ite – quiet as a mouse, but then springing back into life to play a major role in ensuring our clan’s victories! This, by its very nature, makes his activity difficult to reward. However, I feel this promotion is an excellent way of rewarding years of hard work and loyalty that have brought Taldryan into first place in GJWs and feuds. Most recently, he gave stirling service during our feud with Arcona and the recent GJW. A talented writer, he’s willing to put the time and effort into producing really first rate competition entries of the highest quality. Thanks for everything, Betja. You may have extra ice cream tonight! ;) ~Lannie

Betja Jun has done so much for Ektrosis, and almost all of it was before my time (Which is a shame). He hasn’t been promoted in almost three and a half years! He has done so much in that time. Betja is always around when we need him, like in major competitions. Way back in the Fourth Great Jedi War, he led Ektrosis, and had 11 different entries. He had a four-month stint as Roll Master of House Ektrosis since his last promo. He had a great showing in the 2003 IG’s placing in 10 events and participating in 10 more events. In the Fifth Great Jedi War, Betja participated in 9 events, placed in one and finished 15th overall in Taldryan. In the last Krath Rite of Supremacy, Betja helped Taldryan come in second in the Run-on event, and participated in a lot of events helping secure a victory for Taldryan. Betja placed second in the Battle-plan event and participated in 6 other events in the recent Arcona vs. Taldryan feud. In the recent Sixth Great Jedi War, Betja Jun competed in 5 events and earned Taldryan 537 points helping the clan greatly. He also placed second in the battle plan event in the GJW. Betja has been a very clutch person for Taldryan, he always shows up when we need him. He is a great member to have and is always active and helpful on the message boards and mailing lists. He has done a ton of small competitions over the past three and a half years. Betja Jun has more than earned this promotion to Dark Side Adept. Congratulations Betja, you really earned this! Thank you so much for all your hard work over the years.

After the Great Jedi War came to end we started to look at who needed to be awarded. Betja turned out to be in the top 10 in Taldryan, 36 out of 250 total GJW participants. He managed to get in on several events, earning 3 placements, and scoring the Clan a large amount of points that in this close conflict turned out to be critical. What was most important was the fact Betja is an older member and when it came time to step up and help the Clan in our largest competition, he was right there ready to go. Looking into Betja more this can only be seen even more.

In the last three years since he was promoted, Betja has been active off and on in small events up to our largest. He participated in numerous Independence Games, heavily in the Fourth and Fifth Great Jedi Wars, the Krath Rite of Supremacy last year, the Clan Feud with Arcona this year, and now the recent Great Jedi War. When it came time to pwn there he was for his Clan, this is true devotion without thought of reward or personal glory. You can truly count on Betja to show up and jump in on anything, giving it all he can. While I don’t know you as much as others here may, I can see your dedication to Taldryan. With your time in the Brotherhood, long term service to the Clan, and continual help event after event, I think you’ve achieved the rank of Dark Side Adapt. Congrats!

In the DB there are some people that have just had a great, positive influence on everyone they have dealt with. Betja is one of those people. I've know Betja for a little over five years now, and I can't think of anything but good thoughts about this members. He is funny, he is hard working, and he is there when you need him. For years on end, Betja has come to the aid of Taldryan, giving his time for the benefit of the clan. He guides both new members and old members alike and is a beacon for what I would like to see out of many long-time members.

Dark Adept is an important promotion in any member's career. This is a milestone not only for Betja, but also for the DB. It is not often that we award DA to a non-Summit or DC member, but I can say without hesitation that this award is deserved. Betja truly belongs among the elders.

I think Crix has earned this promo for a while now. When he was in Dinaari he was active as can be and as Magistrate to the Deputy Grand Master I’m sure he’s been busy doing whatever projects Xanos assigns him. He left Dinaari for Ektrosis when a leadership spot became available and has taken to the role of AED well as far as I can see. His previous leadership for Archanis and Dinaari are big indicators that he has the potential to continue moving up the leadership ladder and one day take on larger roles. Congrats Crix, you’ve earned this.

Shortly after my return to Ektrosis after my stint as KHP, I took the position as Envoy, and have received unwavering support in that position from the house leadership. Chaos and Crix work exceptionally well as a team. If one is absent for a period of time the other always has it covered, and I rarely see them disagree on matters of how the house should be run. My position means that I frequently need to get someone recommended for promotion, or I need to find out obscure bits of information, and there’s always one of them available for me to speak to on IRC. Worthy of note is that they’re capable of coming to actual decisions during e-mail threads – often a rare trait amongst DB leaders!

But the main emphasis of this recommendation has to be the leadership of Ektrosis during the recent feud and GJW. Despite the occasional computer problem, they both proved that they are leaders capable of ‘getting their hands dirty’ – they jump right in there and lead by example. Emphasizing the importance of participation, in the grandest tradition of the house, they were a main force in Taldryan’s victory. They’ve proven their credentials as leaders, and they’ve earned themselves a much deserved promotion. Thanks for all your work, guys. ~ Alanna

What can I say about Crix that everyone doesn’t already know? I guess I’ll start out with the obvious. Crix kicks ass. In the 8 months he has been Aedile of Ektrosis he has done so much and helped us do a lot of great things. We went from being slow house and not really active, to having more great members than we know what to do with. He has helped me so much with all the work he has done for the house. He was great in the feud, participating in 6 events and placing in first in the Run-on event. In the Great Jedi War he participated in 4 events gaining Taldryan 85 points coming in 114 out of 246 participants. His 8 months as Aedile have brought great things for house Ektrosis. We have become have become an active house with many great members destined to do great things. With his and Alanna’s help we have started the steps to getting a whole group of great leaders for Taldryan and the Brotherhood at large. With Crix’s hard work this could have never happened. I thank you Crix for everything you’ve done. You’ve earned this 3 times over.

There has been so much already said, there isn’t much that can be added to how much Crix rocks and deserves this promotion. Crix has been back in the Clan for more than a year now and AED of Ektrosis for the past 8 months. This is a person that can step up and do whatever is needed; he’ll do reports, do competitions, run this, check for that, and help the newest member of the House when needed. Leadership is a strong trait of Crix and can be seen by looking even farther in the past. Since his last promotion more than 3 years ago he has led House Archanis and helped lead Dinaari as Roll Master and then Aedile. You can’t keep Crix away from a role he is made for.

In the Great Jedi War Crix along with Chaos pushed House Ektrosis to be the dominate force in the Clan securing us another victory. He leads by his words as well as actions, jumping in several events scoring us a good amount of points that was need in such a close finish. For all Crix has done in the past and now, he is overdue for a promotion to Battlelord. Congrats!

Syrus (Shuang Long) has been a very hard worker within Naga Sadow for a long time. His efforts during the GJW have not gone unnoticed, especially within the poetry portion. He has also played a role in his team, as Tetrarch of the Night Hawks.

Beyond these things, Shuang has done countless fictions and poems in various competitions. His mentor, Trev, has pushed him beyond his usual boundaries in the completion of his knight trials. He has easily surpassed the usual requirements for Knight in this Clan, by the time the information was presented to the summit to review. Congratulations on earning your saber.

Syrus completed his standard Knight Trials early on during the Great Jedi War, and I had suggested to him that he participate in one of the Fiction events of the Great Jedi war as his "Consul's Task" because at the time I thought it would be silly to distract Syrus from the Great Jedi War to do some other task for me. I said "any fiction", and when Syrus did the News Reporter event, I said, "Okay Syrus, you have completed my requirement, you can do your Knight Oath." However, Syrus didn't feel like what he had done was substantial enough, so he decided to wait until the next large fiction event to submit something a bit more substantial. I found this remarkable because Syrus had waited a long, long time to get Dark Jedi Knight, and he was willing to wait a few more weeks to submit something that he personally felt would satisfy the requirement.

Syrus has waited a long time to be promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, almost a year. He's a very low key member who, when needed, yet consistently, comes out of nowheere and BAM, kicks ass. So, I'm finally relieved we're getting this promotion through.

DarkHollywood has passed the AOL Instant Messenger Course. This is a basic activity that warrants a promotion to NOV.
