Hel-Pa has flourished during this GJW. His talent for JO was unknown to us until he started to win match after match! Enthusiastic and active, he has earnt his promotion to JH. ~Lannie

Hel-Pa has done great in this GJW. He participated in 6 events and earned the clan 289 points. He placed 68th overall and played his heart out in JO and in pinball. Hel-Pa is a great member; I can see him doing great things in the future. Hel-Pa today you are here by promoted to Jedi Hunter! Congratulations you have really earned this.

Sklib turned out a great record for the Clan in his first Great Jedi War. He hasn't been with us too long, but he's fitting in nicely. Without his help we might have lost this War, so a promotion for this and his continual general activity is in hand. Congrats Jedi Hunter!

We’re very luck that Ricco came to Ektrosis. You can spot the good ones a mile off – they’re the ones who keep bugging you for stuff to do! Getting up to JH in pretty much record time, Ricco has spent the last two months as my assistant envoy. This was a position that to begin with we weren’t sure would be useful(!), but he’s made himself so invaluable in that I don’t know how I managed without an A:Env! In addition to this, he’s written an SA course (and acted as EP), is in the process of writing another, and was responsible for numerous GJW entries from himself and his padawans. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending that he be presented with his sabre. ~Lannie

Ricco is a great member to have. He works hard as A:ENV and is leading many young members through there trials and making sure they are working hard. He did a great job creating the Force Philosophies course and is its EP. His Great Jedi War participation was great; he participated in 13 events, earning 367 points and placing 54th overall. With out his hard work and dedication CNS would have beaten us in the GJW. Thank you for all your hard work Ricco! Take your lightsaber because you are now a Dark Jedi Knight!

QUA Chaosrain

Ricco really started pwning for the Clan in this War, gaining us a ton of points, placing in the Run-on, and placement in two other events. Over 13 events Ricco submitted timely, quality work that deserves to be recognized, especially his awesome graphic and artwork. From the very first event with poetry to the very last with pinball, Ricco’s contributions made it possible for us to win this tight conflict. With all his efforts and his continual work with Ektrosis as Assistant Envoy, Ricco has earned this promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. Congrats!

Darne had a nice GJW participation level. He entered three competitions and earned the clan 66 points. He was 123rd out of 250. He worked hard and is a valued member of the house and clan. He has completed 6 SA courses on top of his GJW activity. His hard work has earned himself a promotion to Guardian. Congratulations!

As QUA of Ektrosis Chaos has done a good job in leading one of the most well known groups of writers in the DB. With his assistance in both motivating his house and his personal participation allowed Taldryan to take first place in the 6th GJW. Without the help of the fictional folks in Ekky we wouldn’t have made it and we have Chaos to thank for motivating them enough to help out. You’ve earned this promo you misspelling fool

Kraval Novir QUA of Dinaari

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

Chaos has served Ektrosis as our Quaestor for nine months now. During that time he has been constantly working to improve the house through multiple updates to the Jedi Trials and changes in not only how the Battle teams worked, but also their very nature. Chaos is constantly in contact with me, the Clan Summit, our Envoy, the Battleteam Leaders and really, the entire house. The two of us have found that we work together very well, to the point of us saying the exact same thing in the exact same words at times. He's waited nearly a year since his last promotion; Chaos more then deserves this for all the work he's put into Ektrosis.

Battlemaster Taku Matsuki Taldrya, Aedile of Ektrosis and Son of Taldryan

Chaos is as much a member as he is a great leader. In the last 9 months he has pushed House Ektrosis to the most active House in the Clan, overtaking Dinaari which was seen by so many as the dominate powerhouse. Now we have a House Ektrosis with a superb Summit in place that is turning out active, contributing, and exciting new members. They’ve re-opened battle teams to help those in their Knight Trials take on leadership experience, upped the promotion standards and the handling of new members, and really just been growing day by day. There is no doubt that Chaos with his Summit and their simple, easy concepts of leadership have had a major part in all of that.

Most recently, Chaos has done excellent in the Great Jedi War for himself and the Clan. He managed to get in 14 events, score 6 placements, and finish right outside of the top 10 on the GJW MVP List. Without Chaos in the battlefield and leading his House we would have lost this. For all Chaos has done for the Clan and Ektrosis over the past 11 months since getting Templar, he is more than deserving of a promotion to the rank of Prelate. Congrats!

Vodo did a great job in the GJW. He participated in 4 events earning Taldryan 444 points and placing 45th out of 246. He did great work in the feud too. He did 4 events in the recent feud with Arcona and has been really active over the past months. He is a great asset to Taldryan and Ektrosis. He has earned this promotion to Dark Jedi Knight! Congratulations Vodo, you have finally earned your lightsaber!

QUA Chaosrain

Vodo only did 4 events, but scored so high in them that he made it in the top 50 of 250 participants in the War. Vodo submitted quality work in an effort to help the Clan achieve yet another victory in a major competition, and thankfully we won it barely. Without Vodo we wouldn’t have done this. We needed everyone to step up over the past 3 months, and Vodo did that. For all his amazing work a promotion to Dark Jedi Knight is at hand. Congrats!

Tiberius has done a bunch since his last promotion. His work in the recent feud and GJW was crucial to Tal’s success. He participated in events in the feud. Placing second in the poetry and third in the ACC. In the recent GJW he participated in 12 events and earning Taldryan 420 points. With out his help we would have lost the GJW. He did great work as Tetrarch, and has done a ton of competitions since his last promotion. Tiberius you have more than earned your promotion into the Equites. I here by designate you as Krath Priest Tiberius Serpentium of Ektrosis of Taldryan. Congratulations you have truly earned this!

QUA Chaosrain

Tiberius has been a Dark Jedi Knight for a bit more than a year now. Since then he has continued to lead his battle team up until March of this year, when life started to pull more of his time away. Tibs has continually been around to jump in the occasional competition, jump in on any fun events, and when we need him in major events. He has pushed new ideas up to the Summits over time as well, always trying to look for ways to improve things and help the Clan.

In the recent Feud with Clan Arcona he participated in 6 of 11 events. Most recently though, Tiberius has done an outstanding job in the Great Jedi War for Taldryan, scoring quite well. He participated in 13 events, scoring 1st in one of those and earning placement points in 3 others. Overall, Tibs scored within the top 50 of 250 participants in the War, an amazing job on a personal scale and for the Clan. Without him we would not have scored a victory in this War, and that is much appreciated. For all Tiberius has done for his battle team, his House, and his Clan in the past year he has definitely earned a promotion to the rank of Priest. Congrats!

Tiberius Serpentium, 2006-09-03 22:00:00 UTC

What can I say about FK other than his return to Tal has been one of the best things to happen. I remember the time when he was AED and I was new to the club. He did all he could to make sure that I was informed of everything and helped me to grow into what I am today. His disappearance was saddening but it allowed others to move along and let me reach the status of QUA today. Without his appearance for the GJW we may have lost it due to how close it was against CNS.

Upon return FK immediately messaged me and asked for things to do. It was at this time that I was taking over as QUA and had selected Odium as my AED. Odium still technically was Envoy but I didn’t want him to have too much to do so I asked FK if he wanted the spot and he gladly agreed. Since taking over he’s done a good job mailing to the new kids telling them where to go and what they need to do. I have no doubt that he’ll continue to do well.

His help in the GJW is probably the biggest thing I can think of. If he hadn’t of shown up before hand we wouldn’t have done as well as we did. FK participated in nine of the events and aided Tal in taking first place in an event that our clan has won time and time again. I think FK has deserved this promotion. Congrats Fire-Knight

Kraval Novir QUA of Dinaari

Fire-Knight is a core member of Dinaari I’d say now. He’s been in the Clan and House off and on for the last 3 years almost. It’s been more than a year since he was promoted last for his work in the Dark Fire Brigade and completing his trials. Since that time he’s led Dinaari as Aedile, helped us a bit in the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy, and now the Great Jedi War. In the War he has participated in 9 events ranging from gaming, writing, creative, and great contributions in the Clan Run-on. We needed his help as this was such a close War in the end. Besides participation he’s been around encouraging people to get involved and has been Dinaari Envoy for awhile now directing the newest members.

For all his work for the Clan over the past year, mostly for his awesome GJW presence and work in Dinaari now, Fire-Knight has earned a promotion to Templar. Congrats!
