Event History

The position of Order Leader is one of the most difficult within the Brotherhood. It is one that involves more initiative than almost any other position in the DB. The members that hold those positions never really have a specific set of duties that they are outlined to do. Sure, they have some, but most of their activities and work comes from a desire to further the Order, not to get simple jobs done. The Order Leaders are forced to think outside of the box, create new and exciting competitions, develop fiction that both corresponds with canon material and gives a fresh edge to their order. Further, they have to work with the most people outside of GM and DGM. The Order Leaders are charges with making sure the clans have good activities for their order's members, they track and approve of promotions, and they work actively with all of the Dark Council members on things that relate to their order. It is a truly diverse job that often doesn't offer a lot of guidance.

The Brotherhood now is especially blessed to have three truly amazing Order Leaders.

Bloodfyre as the longest serving of the Order Leaders is the one with the least recognition. Truly, I have done him an injustice by not rewarding his work and efforts more often. There are things that I have thanked him for, and I think he knows we appreciate that are simply not shown on his dossier, and that is something I hope to correct today. Bloodfyre was the person that single handedly brought about the current tournament system. He devised the point scales, he made the item lists and he got the program off the ground in an effort to diversify the gaming activity of the DB. Really, one could say that Bloodfyre kicked the gaming areas of the DB into gear with that. Beyond this, he has been one of the lead voices as a proponent of Allegiance. He has helped bring the game to life twice now -- something that is very much a credit to him. Most recently, I have seen contributions from BF in the way of his SHW handbook, the Sith History, the new Sith CORE and plans for the Advanced CORE in the SA, and plans for his Order's powers. These are all things that are essential to the growth of the Sith Order, and I am quite pleased to see progress in that area.

Most importantly, though, Bloodfyre is an instrument behind the scenes of almost everything in the DB. He never withholds a comment, never fails to read a document, never has a moment where he isn't spitting out an idea. He has a goal in mind of what he feels the DB can and should be and BF isn't going to rest until it's done. It's an admirable quality that I believe all members should have. And beyond that, Bloodfyre is a damn good friend to all.

So Bloodfyre, in recognition of all you do, I hereby bestow upon you the Silver Sash. Congratulations, my friend.

The ACC wouldn't be much without those who give of their time and their skills for the betterment of a widely popular platform. That fact is amplified when one considers all of those who work "behind the scenes", in positions like Magistrate. For over seven months I have had the pleasure of counting KP M'Kel Kahn as one of my staff members, trusted advisor and doer of the menial tasks. He took everything I gave him and fulfilled my expectations repeatedly form his work on the ACC Compendium revisions, to getting ACCLive! off the ground to the development of systems we'll use in Rebirth such as NPC Creatures. Make no mistake, he was given nothing "pretty" to work on, it was all grunt work that he did with pride. At the same time, he was instrumental in the Training of numerous Initiates, their Qualification and the daily operations of the Centre - all of which he didn't "have to" do as part of his job. He went above and beyond what I asked of him, and I am sad to see him go. RL has crept up for Kahn, taking his time away from us and the DB as a whole. My former apprentice made me proud, but not proud enough to try and keep him from his RL responsibilities. Take care "J" and remember, you'll always have a spot in the ACC as long as I'm here. For your hard work and dedication, I would like to recommend you for the Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Thanks again, DA Dalthid | Combat Master

Ylith has without a doubt surpassed the 100-page mark in the Writer's Corner. He is the first to do this. By being so enthusiastic about story writing and publishing I feel he has inspired the newer members to also publish their own stories. Though not of the Krath order I feel he has contributed much to the ranks. His stories are of great quality and entertainment to all who read them. Not only does he post them up on the message boards but also he encourages others to go read them and make comments. I feel he has given a great service to the entire DB and I know he will continue without thinking about the medals he will get.

Where does one start writing about regarding such a medal especially in relation to such an active member? The level of dedication and loyalty Ylith has shown to his clan in the short time he has been with us has been outstanding always participating in events and competitions and being around on IRC, always in a joyous mood and never being snappish or hurtful. I will now list some of the activities Ylith has been participating in apart from submitting over a 100 pages of fiction to Telona that has made him deserving of this award.

Has been working hard to get qualified in the ACC of which he succeeded and is now listed to participate in the 2nd Championship ladder.

Helping the Rebirth project team getting the whole thing ready by working on species descriptions.

Participating in competitions and run-ons and while these might have had their own rewards I still feel that notice must be drawn to these accomplishments.

Helping newer members get the hang of the club and introducing them to the Clan and involving them in discussions and gaming.

Aiding in the running of the Daemoni circle.

This is simply a cross section of his activity over the last month and after reading the GC's description that it should be awarded "Service to one's Clan in areas meant to encourage competition and interaction between members. Such areas include competition creation, IRC, message boards and websites. " I feel that Ylith has admirably demonstrated these qualities and as such is most deserving of this medal.
