It is my pleasure to once again recommend Creon Okami for recognition.

Since his last promotion, Creon Okami has stayed an active member of the club. He has participated in 68 competitions, and organized 4 competitions. He has done 20 PvP Matches, 35 PvE Activities, 4 ACC Battles Finished, 10 Fiction Activities worth 25,970 words, 7 Run On posts worth 5,150 words, 7 Shadow Academy courses passed, and 1 Shadow Academy degree gained. During this period, he obtained a 1 Grand Cross, 1 Gold Nova, 1 Silver Nova, 1 Bronze Nova, 4 Crescents with Ruby Star, 6 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 1 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 2 Crescents with Topaz Star, 3 Pendants of Blood, 82 Clusters of Fire, 87 Clusters of Ice, 186 Clusters of Earth, 29 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Scroll of Indoctrination, 14, Scrolls of Foundation, 2 Scrolls of the Master, 3 Legion of the Scholar, 23 Seals of Fury, and 9 Seals of Visions.

Second, Creon has spent 4 months as Aedile and 16 days as Quaestor. During this time he served House Hoth. In particular, he helped lead the Hoth Fleet reorganization, taking the time to put together a proposal with his Quaestor. It was highly detailed and even included fictional background. He also put together Odan-Urr’s first attempt at a special form of run-on that uses tabletop concepts. This consisted of 1-2 pages and some initial testing with a fellow Odanite. We did not end up using it at the time but it was a wonderful starting point for a future project and very much appreciated.

Given his activity and time spend in leadership, I recommend that Creon Okami be promoted to the rank of Equite 2 with all the rights and privileges that come with it. Thank you for the energy and time you have put into Odan-Urr and the wider club, whether it be for a war or everyday clan life. On behalf of Odan-Urr, congratulations and well done!

In addition to completing his time in rank at JM3, Tassk has met the following requirements:

• Participated in 23 competitions.
• Passed the Leadership Competitions and Leadership Reports Shadow Academy courses.
• Reached rank V in the Shadow Academy Society.
• Earned 16 Clusters of Ice.
• Written well in excess of 3000 words of approved character fiction.
• Earned Dark Maven degrees in Combat and Philosophy.
• Completed a quality wiki page, Tassk Adroc,
• Earned a Crescent with a Diamond Star.

Promotion recommendations for Tassk have been a regular occurrence in my life the past few months, as he invariably exceeded all the requirements and was ready to step up as soon as he hit the time requirement. Although the phase of his career where promotions come on a schedule is now over, I look forward to contributing to many more promotions and awards for him in the years to come. Not only has Tassk quickly earned himself a reputation for activity, particularly in the ACC where his talent was immediately obvious, but he embodies the virtues we ask our members to strive for. On several occasions now, I have been struck — and, I confess, immediately bragged to others about — Tassk's kindness and maturity. Where others are impatient, Tassk is empathetic to comp organizers and judges. Where others retreat into their bruised egos, Tassk is eager to learn and grow. With his energy and positive attitude, I'm sure there will be many opportunities ahead on our summit and elsewhere, and his contributions to our club are only just beginning.

For all of these reasons, it is my honor and joy to recommend Tassk Adroc be promoted to the rank of Knight.

Tassk has been a joy to get to know from the day he set foot in Odan-Urr. His master's recommendation is spot on so instead I'll focus on his Great Jedi War efforts. I was very impressed with his war efforts, especially considering that this was his first war. To state a few facts: he completed 8/9 bins and 10 war competitions (some of which were harder event longs). I specifically recall our spirited competition around the flash games as we tried to outswipe each other even though he had to put up with a laptop pad. Altogether, when Odan-Urr needed him for a big event he more than showed up. His efforts were excellent and commendable.

Thank you for all the time and energy you've put into Odan-Urr, whether it be a war or not. I'm very proud of you and I look forward to seeing your bright future. Well done and congratulations on the rank of Knight!

Having cleared his time in rank requirements, Blithe has also been awarded a merit medal (a Dark Cross), earned forty Clusters for gaming, joined our Telegram and Discord chats, and participated in at least five competitions!

With all of these requirements fulfilled, I am pleased to say that Blithe is ready for the rank of Courier!

Congratulations, Blithe, keep it up, man!

As Xolarin only recently transferred to Taldryan, I've asked the CNS Summit to contribute to this recommendation. However, the data from Xolarin's activity assessment and his service as Magistrate to the Regent (as noted in both Atra's activity assessment comment and Zxyl's contribution to this request) should be more than enough to justify Xolarin's promotion to Equite 2.

First, some stats: since his last recognition (a Steel Cross in December of 2018), Xolarin has participated in 79 competitions, including 15 events from GJW XIII (one of which earned him a Silver Nova) and 10 events from GJW XIV. Besides the Silver Nova, he's earned two Crescents with Amethyst Stars, four Crescents with Sapphire Stars, and five Crescents with Emerald Stars. He's also fought in four completed ACC battles since the beginning of 2020. Overall, Xolarin's activities have earned him 32 Clusters of Ice and 43 Clusters of Graphite. He's also been a regular attendee at the Shadow Academy, completing 17 courses for a total of 5 degrees.

On the leadership front, Xolarin served as the Aedile of House Marka Ragnos from January 29, 2019 (shortly after his last recognition) to March 2, 2020, and as Quaestor of that same House from March to July of 2020. I'll leave it to Bentre to fill in more details of how well Xolarin handled those positions, but Xolarin's activity assessment says he ran 14 competitions in that time, averaging roughly one a month during his tenure (accounting for the competition bans during GJWs XIII and XIV).

Xolarin also served as the Magistrate to the Regent from November 1, 2019 to May 1, 2020. An activity note Atra left during that time states that, "Xolarin was an active participant in Regent Staff discussions and helped to maintain the approval queue. At the same time, he participated in proofing and item creation for the Solo-Resistance release package." I'll let Zxyl provide more information on exactly what that entailed.

All in all, I think Xolarin's consistent activity as a member, his contributions to the Regent's office, and his eighteen months of Summit service in Clan Naga Sadow since his last recognition are a solid justification for promoting him to Equite 2.

Master Seraine "Erinyes" Taldrya Ténama, 2020-08-07 00:24:42 UTC

Erinyes has already spoken to the "stats" and raw numbers of Xolarin's activity and efforts, so I'll take this opportunity to elaborate a little about my personal and professional experience with Xolarin's service to the Regent Staff during our shared time there, expanding in detail on Atra's notes.

Immediately upon joining the Regent team Xolarin hit the ground running, and I firmly believed he was going to give me a run for my money for Praetor. He took little to no time to learn the policies and procedures regarding the team's very specific aspect approval guidelines, handling approval and denials that came into the queue the entirety of his tenure without hesitation. He was quick to grasp the policies and procedures of conduct we employ on the staff.

Xolarin was always available and up for participation in Regent staff discussions, offering valuable input that to this day has an effect on an ongoing project. He was always courteous, and it was enjoyable working alongside him. During our first content drop as a team (the "Solo-Resistance" release package) Xolarin acted first as our peer reviewer, looking over the content created by the previous staff and finishing touches employed by our new team. He also assisted Atra in the content update itself in creating the necessary item prototypes during launch, ensuring quick delivery to the membership and a short maintenance window.

Prior to the completion of his tenure on the staff, Xolarin began working on a very large Clan-focused project. He laid much of the initial groundwork for what I consider will be a major and defining project for Atra's tenure, completing research on new item archetypes and categories as well as actual item research in relation to the project. It was an absolute pleasure on both a personal and professional level working alongside Xolarin on the staff, so much so that I hope he ends up applying for Magistrate again in a later rotation so we can work together again.

This, coupled with the raw data presented by Erinyes and his time as a Summit member in Naga Sadow as detailed by Bentre, I feel is more than enough to warrant his promotion to Equite 2 given he has received no formal recognition since 2018.

Congratulations on your promotion Xolarin, and keep up the great work. It's well earned.

Xolarin is a member of Clan Naga Sadow that will be much missed as he had chosen to move on. The gent was by and large a pretty agreeable chap, besides being effective in both roles he held while in CNS. In the months before being placed into stewardship over House Marka Ragnos as her Quaestor, he served an extended and successful term as Aedile. He worked with Muz Ashen to ensure the successful operation of the House, in addition to having acted to curate and update the much-loved "Sticker Hype Pack" which has served to help spur member activity and engagement.

As a Quaestor, Xolarin engaged in lengthy discussion with the members of the upper Summit on a variety of subjects toward the betterment of both his House and the Clan at large. These discussions have included the logistics of fictional assets, the further fictional development of Clan Naga Sadow, provided feedback pertaining to crucial upcoming plot points for both HMR and CNS, and helped to brainstorm how to better serve the membership as a whole. More than just discussing, Xolarin also worked to ensure his members' regular activity was recognized, helped to ensure his members were awarded properly following events, and worked to encourage further personal excellence in our membership.

One notable way he did this was in recognizing members as Scions of Ragnos. These people were those who presented a good face to the Clan and club, as "key members of the HMR/CNS community, and are a good example to newcomers and long-timers alike." He wanted to recognize our members for their activity and the use of an in character House-bestowed title was one way that he tried to accomplish that end. Furthermore, in his position as Quaestor he immediately had jumped on the ball trying to formulate new ways that we could better engage new members. Some of the enjoyable competition mini-series he created or contributed included the inter-House "Orian Wargames", "Scrounging the Leftovers" and "Return to Tarthos"- the last of which followed the Clan's return to the Orian system. I would also be remiss if I didn't point out the fact that Xolarin used fiction in reports to further enrich his members' experience. He made a point of doing so.

Really, this is all just a small sampling of the work that Xolarin accomplished while a part of our Clan. Speaking with his second in command, Xolarin was as available for questions or discussion for his Aedile was he was with regard to the Upper Summit, and discussed his ideas for his House freely with his Aedile. This further reinforces the clear that Xolarin was an effective leader. He displayed excitement for the Great Jedi War, discussed plans for the future, and demonstrated a clear desire to build his unit.

Xolarin was a good Quaestor, is a good guy, and I am certain will make an excellent addition to the next tier of the Equite ranks. Congratulations Xolarin, and I wish you the best wherever your path takes you.

Kano Tor Tydex joined the Vizsla team during our early planning stages and has been a consistent, dedicated, and integral member ever since. Known for his amazing beard and insatiable love for Star Wars, Kano is the ideal member in Clan Vizsla. He brings a sense of family to our chats and has been a key player in establishing Vizsla’s culture.

Since Kano’s last promotion over 11 months ago, he has been one of Clan Vizsla’s top content contributors and leaders. Serving as Death Watch BTL (2 months) and later Wren Aedile (3 months), Kano has built a large part of our fictional universe. Kano was the lead planner on the Death Watch fleet, art work for Death Watch/report headers, and the primary writer of our (Death Watch Wiki)[https://wiki.darkjedibrotherhood.com/view/Deathwatch].

In addition to Kano’s leadership in our Clan, he has also been an active participant and creator in the Club. Kano has participated in 54 competitions, written over 10k of fiction, taken 9 SA courses, and earned one degree. These events have earned him 15 various crescents, over 70 clusters, and most recently a Seal that helped Clan Vizsla finish second in the GJW.

Kano’s additional duties have included Magistrate time in the Regent’s Office where he learned the intricate systems and processes required to approve items and aspects. Kano also supported the Herald staff for a total of 4 months. He was the key artist in the creation of Clan Vizsla’s Vendetta award - the hatchet of pain, as well as additional administrative support to the Herald Office.

Kano, thanks for your hard work. We greatly appreciate your dedication to our team.

Grand Master Declan Roark, 2020-08-05 20:35:07 UTC

As Pravus stated, Kano was a great help to building the Death Watch and Wren fictional universe. His effort went beyond that of an average member, and it resulted in him quickly rising through the leadership positions. No matter who I was working with within the summit, we would always hear his name before a slew of ideas came out. Additionally, the art that he brought to us was a very integral part of designing fictional spaces within our universe, and we would still be struggling to create a good image of those locations without his help. Lastly, even though his time spent with me was short, I was able to gain good insight as to how our different members can contribute to building a place we all love to be a part of, both within our DB universe and within our community. Thanks for that, Kano, and congratulations on your promotion to Corsair!
