Since the previous promotion, Nefin has proven himself in terms of activity as he has taken away from the 12 competitions he has participated in a 1 Bronze Nova, 1 Crescent of Emerald, 56 Clusters of Earth, 12 Clusters of Graphite, and 10 Seals of Fury (with participation in the Rite of Supremacy). Of the 12 competitions (with containers), he has participated in a various amount of competition types (without containers being 9). He has also passed one of the courses from the Shadow Academy and participated in DB gaming as shown with his CE awards.

From what I’ve seen with Nefin, he is a strong and level headed individual who works hard upon his skills within DJB, as seen having earned a Bronze Nova in the recent RoS. With this, I would like to recommend him for a promotion to Knighthood.

Talking to Nefin about the brotherhood started a bonfire of activity I did NOT expect. He's the "A-List" type for getting things done. He wiped the floor with the SA, his Prometheus reports, and RoS activity all within the same timeframe. I can't imagine what having to reel it back post RoS is like for him. Actually, I can. He's been actually still going strong even after his activity in the RoS. Guy is hitting and making comps to keep the energy high. He talks to others, both sharing his experiences and learning from those who have been around in the club longer. There's a long-term interest, and with that kind of activity level in the long term, no doubt he will someday make great changes to make the Brotherhood a better website than it was yesterday. Just like we all want to keep doing for the DJB. Welcome to DJK.

It may not seem much now, Nefin, but it's the best rank in the club.

It is an understatement to say that Nefin hit the ground running once he transferred in to COU. After coming to us from the rogues and almost immediately reaching JM3, Nefin wasted no time in throwing himself at the Rite of Supremacy. He earned full participation during phases two and three and earned credit for three event-long bins. Given how close and hard-fought the event was, I can say that having a new member like Nefin was a stroke of incredible luck for us and we're very happy to have him. I look forward to watching his continued rise through our ranks.

I was first introduced to Tex when he joined House Satele Shan when I was Aedile. He has always been very kind, asking everyone how they are doing and wishing them a good day, which continues to this day. Not long after he transferred, his master had to leave due to real life. This did not deter Tex, he continued participating in all the events he could. Mind you, Tex is mostly participating on his iPhone and has still managed to participate in, since his last promotion 11 competitions (1 fiction, 1 graphics, 4 regular, and 5 timed), and 3 container competitions, including the Rite of Supremacy . These competitions have netted him 320 words of fiction, a Dark Cross, & 2 Seals of Loyalty. In the same timeframe Tex has completed 25 Shadow Academy Courses, earning himself 2 Degrees (Dark Maven - Historical Legends & Dark Pundit - Vendetta), & 57 Academic Credits with an average of 88.64% .

It is my pleasure and honor to recommend Yeoman Tex for promotion to Professional. Congratulations Tex, I am extremely happy for you and look forward to watching you continue to grow in the Brotherhood. Nothing feels as good as being a JM4.

In a club too often struck by drama and discord, Tex stands out for his kindness and excellent manners. Ever since arriving in COU, he's been a joy to work with. This promotion is a long time coming, and I'm delighted to welcome Tex to the world of Knighthood.

Where do you even start with Rulvak's fricken numbers? Since February of 2017 he's pulled 185 competitions, participated in over a thousand PvP/PvE matches and activities and 11 fiction activities as well as 6 Run On posts (often done by himself to qualify for participation in events, crossing the line at the last moment and earning Arcona valuable points!). He also continued his learning experiences, passing 7 Shadow Academy Courses.

On the shinies front, just, wow. Okay, he's picked up a Sapphire Blade for being awesome, a Steel Cross and an Anteian Cross! On the novae front, he's picked up 4 Gold Nova, 5 Silver and 2 Bronze! Outside of vendetta events he's picked up 28 Diamond Crescents, 19 Ruby, 23 Amethyst, 12 Sapphire, 5 Emerald and 3 Topaz. On the gaming front, he's picked up an insane 36 Pendants of Blood, 7,332 Clusters of Fire, 8,767 Clusters of Earth! Along with that was 16 Clusters of Ice and 47 Clusters of Graphite for his writing and arting efforts!

Rulvak is a powerhouse of gaming and activity, and while he's not held an official leadership position in this time, he's actively encouraged others to be, well, active. Whether it be carrying them in gaming or being there when you need a teammate for a Vendetta event, Rulvak is insanely reliable and always a good sport. He's a model member of Arcona and I'm proud to see him ascend to Equite 4!

Warp (aka Rulvak) makes me wonder what he does outside of Telegram and the Club. The guy is a powerhouse of activity the likes of which I can’t quite fathom, nor could ever frankly hope to match. He’s active on Telegram and an activist for gaming. He doesn’t simply content himself with playing the games; he promotes fair play and jolly cooperation with his fellow members within the Brotherhood. What’s more, he even manages to get the non-participants — those members who you wonder if they’ll Rogue-out this month — to join in the fun and frolicking.

In all honesty, I don’t know Warp near as well as I should, nor half as well as I’d like. That is my own failing. From what I’ve seen though, he’s a good guy. He’s someone I would want on my team when the situation called for it. I can’t say much more than that, other than that I support the recommendation to promote him to Equite 4.

Dedication when talking about this word and trying to apply it to someone, you really need to consider what the word really means when used on a person. I can say without a doubt that Warp(aka Rulvak) is the most dedicated member of House Galeres that I have seen in a while. Not only has he rocked it out in competing in competitions his participation alone in gaming makes him stand out among the crowd, above all else no one can say he is not dedicated to his craft.

I for one am proud to give this award, You more than deserve every bit of it and more.

In all honesty I’m not particularly sure where Warp gets the time to do everything he does. Not only is he the most active gamer I have ever seen, he’s a constant dedicated presence in Arcona an to the club in general. In addition to all this, he’s also genuinely a nice guy and fun to hang around with, even outside of the club. I can’t think of any better way to show appreciation not only for a dedicated and active member of the Club, but for a friend than to award Warp this promotion. Attaboy, Warp.

It would be easy to take a member like Warp for granted. He is a powerhouse of activity...but he is so consistent with it, that at times it nearly fades into the background. You just expect that he never sleeps, never eats - that he breathes the Brotherhood. And his stats over the two years since his last promotion bear that out. Warp, or Rulvak Qurroc, has earned more Clusters, Crescents, Seals, and Novae since his last promotion than most members will in their entire Brotherhood career. It is impossible to overstate the impact that he has made in the Brotherhood's gaming community, or the quiet but consistent manner in which he pushes those around him towards greater levels of activity through his sheer, unceasing presence. If there's a gaming competition open, he'll be in it. And more often than not, he'll place or win it as well. More than that, he's a genuinely fun and nice person, and consistently has kind words or a good-natured ribbing for everyone he plays with.

For his tireless drive and his unflagging string of victories, it is my pleasure to recommend Rulvak Qurroc for elevation.

Since joining the Brotherhood Hilgrif has been a buzz of activity. Constantly gaming, partaking in the Shadow Academy and has already participated in several competitions. This activity has earned him a slew of Clusters as well as my admiration at his activity.

For this I'd like to recommended Hilgrif for his promotion to the rank of Acolyte.

Well done!
