Jack Sewet, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Dark Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed. Your accomplishments include:

• Have an approved character sheet on record
• Join Telegram or IRC, and visit Clan Channel
• Participate in 3 competitions
• Pass the Dark Brotherhood Basics Shadow Academy Course

I will continue to watch your progress, Jack Sewet, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

Ethan the man with the perfect narrator voice helping his team earn a 3rd place finish in the GJW "In a World" competition and securing a Bronze Nova in the process. This man had insane levels of activity in the GJW where he was 1 of 8 members of Odan-Urr to participate in all the bins as a JM4 which helped his Clan secure the points needed in participation towards our victory. Now even those this man loves to participate in competitions, he has stepped out and started dabbling in producing his own competitions. Since the GJW instead of taking it easy and winding down, he has organized31 DJB-wide competition, of which 2 were Clan-wide competitions in addition to also participating in 40 competitions. The man is also a fiction master where he spent many hours proofing our teams RO posts, he also earned 23 Clusters of Ice through his own fiction writing from various Voice competitions. In addition to all this he has earned 1 Bronze Nova, 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 6 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 6 Crescent with Topaz Star, 1 Cluster of Fire, 12 Cluster of Graphite, and even was passed 1 Shadow Academy course. Crossing from consumer to producer is a big step in ones DJB career. Ethan your activity both in and out of the GJW was incredible, but more importantly your desire to always look to help your fellow Housemate and further our Clan speaks volumes to your character. Keep up the great work brother!

Ethan, I have known you for a while now and I have to say I am impressed. Watching you and your character grow has been awesome. Your performance in the Great Jedi War just goes to show how far you have come, 100% completion in the War is no small feat. Your application for BTL application was very good and it shows dedication to the House, Clan, and the Brotherhood. I look forward to watching you grow further as we all continue forward. Keep up the good work my friend and congratulations on the award. It's all up hill from here!

Ethan is a stellar performer within Satele Shan and is truly in the process of a meteoric rise in professionalism and personal growth as befitting this important promotion from Knight to Equite.

Specifically I will speak to Ethan’s work within his Battleteam. Ethan simply is a leader and a beacon to look up to. While he did not get the role of BTL, he has supported the team throughout. This includes 100% participation in both the Basic Flight Training event and the Operation Enigma event. In the latter he placed within the top three overall. Beyond that, he is constantly active in team emails and TG discussions, offering his opinions and advice to other members to enrich the community.

While Ethan’s metrics are impressive and have been expanded upon greatly by my peers some items that stick out in my mind. Ethan is now at the point where he is transitioning from consumer to producer of content, and has organized several fictional competitions. Along that track, he has written over 10,000 words of fiction since his last promotion. That is more than some members produce in a career but this is just a mild side note for him.

I have no doubt Ethan is prepared to make the transition to Equite and the greater roles and responsibilities that the community requires him to and will be enriched by.

Mauro Wynter, 2018-01-29 18:15:53 UTC

Ethan Martes, is by far one of the most interesting new members I have seen join Odan-Urr in quite sometime. Not only is he a constant contributor on the clan telegram channels he is also a great mentor to other members as well. He has a passion not only for his character but more for how his character exists in the DJB universe and how he would interact with everyones IC personas. He also has great vision and creates excellent stories and fictions for us to enjoy. Ethan is also a budding leader within the club and someone I see taking on and excelling at a position in the DJB at some point. I was also witness to his creativity on our Voice acting team for the Great Jedi War, being the team lead allow him to flex his muscles and help us earn a 3rd place finish in the event as well. So it's my pleasure and my Honor to support your award which is very much deserved and earned! Congratulations, Ethan!

Edgar Drachen, 2018-01-29 17:54:29 UTC

A few days ago, Quii Liang took a shot at hosting his first clan competition. By doing so, after being Acolyte for quite a while, he fulfilled his last requirement to rise up.

The Dark Cross and Anteian Cross in his showcase are prove of his great activity, participating in a total of twelve competitions. Quii Liang wandered through the halls of the Shadow Academy quite a lot (SA:IV) and recently tackled the Leadership Management Course. Good job

This Acolyte is eager to learn and determined to rise through the ranks. He takes advice from others on Telegram, which helped him in his training. I feel like another step of his training has passed.

Congratulations Hunter!

Ranarr Kul-Tarentae, 2018-01-28 09:56:12 UTC

It's been over 2 years since Mauro's last promotion. Through that time he had real life deployments, but still managed to return and be one of the highest producing members I have seen when he was active in the DJB. His activity is higher than many members who earn EQ3 and he was able to do it in the same amount of active time in the DJB. The guy is a beast in not only participating, but also producing for his members while being a rock in solid support to his Summit in many avenues of leading the House into further growth.

Since his last promotion he been awarded 1 Grand Cross, 1 Steel Cross, 2 Anteian Crosses, and 1 Dark Cross for both stellar activity and leadership. In addition he has participated in 219 competitions with 52 of those being since his last recognition just under a month ago with 11 of those being major fiction activities that awarded 27 Clusters of Ice... think about that for a second, one month. Looking at the bigger picture he has participated in a total of 219 competitions since his last promotion. From these he earned 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 7 Crescents with Ruby Star, 12 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 24 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 16 Crescents with Emerald Star, 9 Crescents with Topaz Star, and 2 Crescents with Quartz Star. While Mauro is primarily a writer which is evident with his incredible 91 Clusters of Ice he also dived into gaming where he earned 2 Pendants of Blood, 35 Clusters of Fire, and 5 Clusters of Earth. Additionally he went on to do various art competitions earning 5 Clusters of Graphite. He netted 3 Scrolls of Foundation for Shadow academy work, but also gained more knowledge himself by passing 7 courses and helping him earn 3 degrees. Lastly he was a force in the GJW where he attained 15 Seals of Wrath helping Odan-Urr win "First Clan".

There is so much that Mauro does on a day to day basis to help Satele Shan continue to grow and foster activity within the House. His reports are frequent, detailed, and feature many event fictions to include a 7 page fictional narrative for the origins of Tython Squad to help the members engage in their new team. His fictional abilities for events has also driven some insane numbers which was evident with the 100% participation rate in his first BT event "Basic Flight Squadron" featuring with 11 members at the time. Since then he has created a mini event Already he has organized and created mini BT event featuring 3 competitions called "Operation Enigma" to help prepare his team for their upcoming joint battleteam event with Arcona's own BT the Nighthawks for the for the 4 competition event titled "Rendezvous of Destiny" that he created a 3 page fiction to help drive the narrative for the members of the two teams. All in all he has organized 9 total completed events with many about to start. He doesn't just make the events, Mauro help develop the fictional drive to inspire the members to get involved and helping elevate these participation rates. His work toward our upcoming event "Shadow of the Kesaret" was top notch. Without his writing abilities it would of been a struggle for our House to create such a dynamic story to involve the members while keeping in line by tying our previous House event together.

Mauro you on one heck of a members and honestly I cannot think of anything more you need to do to earn this promotion. You have spent 8 months as a professor on the SA staff, 4 months as Aedile, and now just shy of 2 months as BTL here. Your ability to produce and go above and beyond that which is expected of your position is anything I could of asked for in a BTL. You are doing great things to help us foster activity within Satele Shan and help create something special here as is evident with our surge in growth and activity. I appreciate everything you do and I know someone with your abilities and dedication to creating an awesome member experience is what helps further this club day in and day out. This promotion is for you and I know it will only be a matter of time before I will be looking up to you once again as my leader. Congrats brother!

Maximus Alvinius, 2018-01-27 18:41:57 UTC

When joining Odan-Urr I had the opportunity to join Tython Squad, the battleteam led by Mauro Wynter. I instantly realized that Mauro is one of the most, if not the most, devoted leader I've come across.

Not only has Mauro shown us some great activity, as listed by Maximus, but what pleases me the most is that he did all of this, not for his own gain but that of the battleteam, clan, and its members.

Mauro leads by example and offers members a chance to be active, promotes activity and offers a chance for others to get involved in the bigger picture. Thanks to members like Mauro, this community is an amazing one to be part of.

Therefor, Mauro Wynter, you most definitely deserve this promotion. Congrats!

Ranarr Kul-Tarentae, 2018-01-27 10:44:34 UTC

BTL is, in my opinion, a much harder job that people give it credit for. You have to built a community and you're expected to generate more activity than what the main body of the clan is getting, but you have to do it without competing with the identities of the clan and house, and by squeezing your competitions and events into whatever time the CON and QUA haven't already claimed. That makes Mauro's work with Tython Squadron all the more impressive.

As Max has detailed above, Mauro has assembled a BT of unprecedented size and activity. He started with nothing; he didn't come in to a lore and group that someone else had assembled for him. He's already completed two successful events and has organized a third with Constantine over in Arcona. This is, as far as I know, the first cross-clan battleteam event in Odan-Urr's history. I've been around for 6 COU battleteams now, and I cannot remember a time in the last two and a half years where one had the excitement and activity behind it that Tython does. Mauro deserves the lion's share of the credit for that.

Additionally, he's served on the house and clan summits. I've been particularly impressed by his maturity and his ability to stay positive and try to work through some very heated arguments, but in all cases he's been a key player in brainstorming new ideas to improve the member experience.

And, of course, in his regular activity as a member, Mauro's been one of the heavy hitters in COU in GJW XII and ever since. One thing that really stood out, that is definitely not reflected in his stats and that I'm sure nobody noticed but me, is that he got his fiction entries in for both phases at least a week before the deadline. It's a little thing, but I think it's indicative of how Mauro will set his mind to something and get it done, with no fuss, drama, or delays. The dude's a beast, and I'm delighted to have him on my summit.

Congrats, Mauro. I look forward to seeing how much you soar as an EQ3.

Mauro has proven to be one of the best additions to the Satele Shan Summit. His concept for Tython Squadron has been a huge success. Mauro has injected his own high motivation into the Team which can be seen in the core group of Tython members. His presence has been a huge help to the Summit. During my move, Mauro stepped up and took some of my responsibilities so that the House could keep operating.

Mauro, it has been a has been an honor to serve with you and work along side you. This promotion is well deserved and never stop , congratulations!

Mauro Wynter has done a lot of great things for Odan-Urr since he returned. Since my companions have already said a lot of great things, I'd like to focus on the one that makes me the proudest of him. What I commend Mauro for most is his dedication to the fictional development of Tython squadron. Many leaders miss this crucial point and forget to provide a "fictional skeleton" of sorts for their members. Mauro Wynter has excelled here, not only providing that "fictional skeleton" but also updating Tython's wiki page in a matter of hours after an update is due.

Now, many find the wiki rather tedious but regardless as a leader, it's your job to make sure that is up to date. As such, Mauro's insanely quick updates are a rare find and a greatly appreciated one by this Proconsul. With this fictional backbone in place in not only traditional fiction but the wiki itself, he has fostered one the liveliest battleteams currently in the DB and given his members something to really be excited about: the joy of seeing their work outlive them.

With that said, I give you, Mauro Wynter, high praise and want you to know that I greatly appreciate all the wonderful work you have done for Tython and Satele Shan. It's nothing less than remarkable and I look forward to seeing how big of a mark you'll continue to make in your House and Odan-Urr itself. Congratulations on EQ3!!!

Since Lo-Kain's return to Plagueis, he has hit the ground running. Where others may have taken their time to get settled in, he jumped at his promotion requirements and completed them all before the minimum time, a feat most Journeymen strive for. In addition to having spent the minimum 28 days as a Hunter, his time spent gaming has earned him 150 clusters of Earth and 3 Pendants of Blood, allowing him to reach Rank 4 in the Grand Master's Royal Guard. Since joining, he has acquired 2 Maven degrees, 2 Dark Pundits, and passed 2 leadership courses giving him the Rank of Senior (5) in the Shadow Academy. Lo-Kain has put forth great effort towards Clan and DB activities, having participated in 16 competitions, 11 of which were part of a clan event. From this, he has earned a Crescent with an Amethyst Star and one with a Sapphire Star. For his hard work, dedication, and drive, I recommend Lo-Kain for promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. Congratulations Lo-Kain, this was well deserved!
