Event History

Tarax, you have been a real asset for Taldryan in the during the Events of the Dark Crusade, not only that you have participated in a total of 14 events you have freely helped out Sid and myself, keeping track of member activities as well as gathering/trans-scripting the official Crusade website into a plain text version and reminding the people in Taldryan to stay on the ball. For this kind of dedication to House Taldryan I am requesting that you should be rewarded with a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Congratz Tarax.

When it comes to legendary figures in the Dark Brotherhood, Tarax is surely on the list of the most notable. His dedication to Taldryan has been unwavering, despite recently undergoing a move and getting a new job. Despite all that, he still puts forth ample effort in order to ensure that Taldryan competes in the Dark Crusades at the highest levels.

Acting as an advisor to the Taldryan Leadership, and taking an active role in ensuring that the members of Taldryan are constantly kept on their toes and challenged is just one part of Tarax’s character. He is also one of the first to encourage, and try to motivate members to participate in more events, while carrying a near perfect record of participation himself.

An active member on IRC, and on mailing lists, Tarax’s influence has been essential in the resurgence of Taldryan’s activity, and was crucial in it’s early round victory.

I’ve gotten rusty at this so I’m going to keep this short. Tarax's efforts for Taldryan have been crucial in the first parts of the Crusade. He has consistently given Taldryan his all by participating in as many of the Crusades as he could manage, giving near perfect participation levels. Not only has he been one of our most dedicated and prolific members, he has also been one of our most helpful. Tarax has encouraged many members to compete on Taldryan's behalf. He has also helped many members by acting as an editor for them. He was a crucial piece in the RO event. Not only did he help push our teammates to be their best, he was also an anchor on that team. He stepped up and got the ball rolling for our group and was always willing to step up and do the important things when it counted. Despite his usual demeanor, Tarax has been amazingly helpful to the House during this juncture. Despite the fact that this gives me an odd sense of déjà vu, I'm happy to recommend Tarax Eosphoros Kor for a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Tarax is the worst. He is human tennis elbow, he is a pizza burn on the roof of the world’s mouth, and he is the the opposite of Batman. Yet for all his faults, he continues to churn out activity for House Taldryan. He has participated in damn near every event of the Dark Crusade, and was a driving force in our second round run on participation. Tarax has been vocal on IRC and has participated in many house level and Brotherhood-wide leadership discussions, and continues to serve on the Appeals Panel. Throughout all this - he always advocates for what is right - often in the face of others that would choose to do the easy or expedient thing. For his dedication to seeing Taldryan succeed - I strongly recommend Tarax “I’m seriously an asshole” Kor for the Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Jac, you are by far one of the most awesome persons I have met so far in the DB, your willingness and dedication to Taldryan is incomparable out of 17 events you did 16 while actively supporting the Taldryan Summit, trans-scripting the Crusade website from an image-based to a plain text version and sending it to the House along various tool tips and hints on how to best participate in the events. For this kind of dedication there can be only one reward and this I am most happily requesting for you: A Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Thank you Jac!

There’s only one Cotelin, there’s only one Cotelin!.. For those of you who don’t get that reference, watch more English Premier League. For the rest of you, it’s quite simple. There is nobody in the Dark Brotherhood who has shown the extended dedication, drive, and desire for excellence than Jac Ae-Sequira Cotelin Taldrya-Cantor.

Let’s ignore the fact that Jac works in a stressful job that requires him to work nearly fourteen hour days. Let’s skip over the fact that he’s the proud father of two newborn girls, and let’s ignore that he did five of the six events in Phase 3 of Chapter 1 from a hospital. He’s still, without a doubt, one of the single most active members that Taldryan has. More than that, he’s also by far one of the most skilled. When Jac puts his mind to excellence, he achieves it, and his record in recent competitions simply stands that fact on its head, and demands it be recognized.

Jac Cotelin puts more effort, and love, and devotion into the Dark Brotherhood in a day than the average member does in a year, and he does it for no reason other than loyalty. He’s a Grand Master. He has two Golden Lightsabers, and a litany of every award, title, and honour that the Dark Brotherhood can offer him. Jac works hard not for recognition, but for the betterment of his unit, and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole.

But I would like to recommend that we recognize his efforts and contributions anyways, with the awarding of a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Jac, what can I say? You do everything possible for Taldryan, and I'm jealous of your excellence. I mean, everyone is jealous of your excellence, but only a few have to live with the honor and pressure of being a Taldrya alongside you; and as much as that sounds like a complaint, I wouldn't want it any other way. Just seeing what you do and how you do it has been amazing; it's a lesson in exactly what I strive to be.

How you've only missed one event with the way your life is unfolding is mind boggling; and yet that is selling your contributions short. You've explained the events to help those new to Vendettas and to those with limited time. You've inspired the House more than once with your amazing speeches. You're doing everything I wanted to do when I was Consul; and you're just in OFH with the rest of us. Hell, during this last phase no one was sure you would be able to do as much as you did with the birth of children drawing near(Congratulations are also in order for their happy arrival!), but when everything came in you had done all but one thing; and the only reason that one thing didn’t come in was because you literally couldn’t have done it. If this were a story of some kind, no one would believe it. No one should be able to continually top themselves like you do, and yet when you do it no one is surprised. I find that amazing and yet I've watched you do it for over nine years now.

If I'm honest, I think this recommendation might mean more to me than you; I think it's the first time I've been able to help you get an award, and that makes me extremely happy. Yacks is our will, but you're our heart. I just want to thank for being able to draw me back in when I feel like I can't do it anymore; I truly appreciate it. For that, more than anything, I am honored to give you this recommendation for a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

It’s Jac, bitches.

- Tarax

Jac has been Grand Master twice. He has two Golden Lightsabers. He could never do a damn thing ever again for Taldryan or the Dark Brotherhood and still be revered as quite literally the best member the club has ever had (and very likely ever will have). He could be (and for the sake of sanity should be) content with being the finest example of roster candy. That is not who is he - so the crazy man soldiers on. Jac was a monster of participation (And placing) in the Dark Crusade - as well as seemingly placing in damn near everything. Jac’s constant assistance to Taldryan’s summit through the crusade in the form of advice and planning surely contributed to the house’s success.
With all that in mind, I strongly recommend ole Jaccy for the Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Yay Jac!
