Event History

River has been an active member of the DJB for the past ten months since becoming a Dark Jedi Knight. In that time, she has been a regular participant in gaming, competitions, operations, and has earned multiple clusters, and crescents for those activities. Friendly and engaging, she has also earned a Grand Cross for her overall performance in the Dark Crusade, a Steel cross for her performance in Operation: Soujourn, and earned a Dark Cross for participating in the ACC Closed Beta. The closed Beta was an important part of testing the new ACC, which is now seeing it’s largest event with over 70 participants. River took the time to be one of the few who stepped up to help us test that system. I can name a dozen veterans and Elders in this organization who couldn’t be bothered with something like this. Even with no past experience in something like the ACC, River was willing to test waters and try things out--all for the sake of helping the Brotherhood. It is incredibly rare to see that type of dedication in a Knight, let alone the veterans of this organization.

River also recently stepped up to take on a position that would help make changes to the forums for the club. This required time and research, as well as sending out an email to the Dark Summit--a collection of all the clubs leaders. She handled the concerns, feedback, and questions of the Dark Summit like a professional and did not baulk under the duress of veteran members. The latter is worthy of note because while the new Forums have not been activated yet, River has shown the maturity and poise we expect of not just our Equites, but the leaders of our organization. She has gone above and beyond the call of what we expect from our Knights.

For this, and much more, I elevate Riverche to the rank of Krath Priest. Keep up the good work, River.

Consul of Clan Arcona

River is one of those humble, unassuming members so easily overlooked, but so utterly vital to the health of the Brotherhood. She has been consistently active since joining us in Arcona, and has been an excellent team player. I don't think she was well-known outside of Arconan circles prior to being selected as Forum Tribune, but her selection came as no surprise to those who've worked with her in the Clan, and who know how capable and diligent she truly is.

Her work in Arcona prior to her selection was extensive, and it was the interpersonal and leadership skills that she developed within her battleteam over ten months of consistently high activity that made her such a desirable choice. Already, she has displayed those skills in interacting with the Dark Summit and liaising with Brotherhood coders, demonstrating a maturity typically well-beyond the Journeyman pay grade. River has been a fixture both in Arconan competitions and in Brotherhood-wide events, blending quantity and quality in a manner that distinguishes her from most Dark Jedi Knights.

It's been a great pleasure to get to know River in the time we've shared in Arcona together, and I'm thrilled to be recommending her for this promotion. I have high hopes for her continued development as a leader and an innovator in the club. Congratulations, River, and thank you.

I am honoured to be recommending Riverche for the elevation to the ranks of the Equites. She has been an active and dedicated member to the Brotherhood, participating in anything and everything that has come up recently, and driving herself to understand the site better and continue to enjoy it and bring enjoyment to others.

Riverche has continued to expand her knowledge of the Brotherhood as well, though at the rank of Dark Jedi Knight most members will forget to continue to expand their knowledge. She has taken nineteen exams as well as earning herself the Dark Pundit - Vendetta, showing that she still has been expanding her own knowledge. This is indicative of the self initiative that has continued to keep her going. On top of this, she has been a huge part inside of her battle team. Soulfire Strike team has benefited from having a member that keeps up activity and is willing to get involved in everything that she tries.

For all of her hard work and effort I am proud to see her step out from the Journeymen ranks and into the Equites. Congratulations Riverche you have earned this. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing what you do in the future!

Riverche's activity during the recent Operation being run by Arcona was nothing short of exemplary. Despite being hard-pressed for time, she managed to bring herself to enter 10 of the 11 events, and even felt guilty that she had missed one. The sheer fact that missing an event led to an apologetic message shows what sort of member River is; one who strives for constant improvement and activity. She is the sort of member that makes it easy to be a leader, because she more or less directs herself. The events that she participated in (poetry x2, graphics x3, rage comic, a fiction, gaming, run-on and scouting report) were not just token entries to ensure participation, but in each case she put in time and effort to make sure that what she submitted she was happy with and was the best that she could do.

Riverche has been able to help me with leading Soulfire by being there to listen, helping me to understand the relationships she and the other members would have with each other and a whole manner of other little things that you can't really quantify. Her drive to succeed and be active is something that can sometimes be lacking in other members, and it's something which is very much valued within this club. Riverche deserves to be rewarded for the work she has done, and I can think of no more fitting reward than this elevation that we give to her.

Congratulations River, you've more than earned this.
