Event History

It's not every day that a JM4 promotion comes along, and I am proud to say that Ashlynn Cruise has earned this honor. While spending at least 28 days in rank, she has successfully co-organized 2 competitions, participated in 8 competitions, earned 1 major competition award in the form of a Crescent with Emerald star, earned a Dark Cross for her exemplary activity, earned 75 clusters of earth, passed the Leadership Competitions and Leadership Rewards courses, completed an approved, quality wiki article for her character, and wrote 3000 words of character fiction. This is a great variety of activities, some of which gave back to the DB community itself. A rather impressive list.

A few things, though certainly not an exhaustive list, stand out to me personally. First, she got an approved quality wiki page approved. The wiki staff can be quite picky and many people are stuck with that annoying question mark next to their wiki page link forever, but she knocked this one out. Second, she co-organized competitions, which is a great way to give back to the community. Third, she took the time to take some of the leadership courses. They can be a bit dry at times, but they really are important. It is refreshing to see someone take them. Good job, Ashlynn! Lastly, her merit award, which speaks volumes for the sort of role model she was for Clan Scholae Palatinae's other journeymen.

Since her arrival to Odan-Urr, she has already kept up that tradition. Recently she has dove head first into Pazaak and Star Conflict, as well as some competitions. I look forward to the example she will set as a Captain and the glory she will bring to Odan-Urr. You may have just gotten here, but you're already one of us. ^^

It is my privilege to recommend that Ashlynn Cruise be promoted to the rank of Captain. Congratulations and enjoy all the new toys that come with your new rank!! (It's time to go shopping!)

This is a day that is a long time coming and I'm so glad that Ashlynn has made it. Blade has already hit on the numbers so I'll touch on this incredible achievement. It's been a long year and half since her last promotion and even when r al life struggles took a role on her in real life, she still found a way to return and attain that big step to Captain. When Ashlynn was around both in CSP and now Odan she was always a steady contributer. Never one to be in the public eye, she always worked in the background. Competitions in both individual competitions, Clan events, coorganizing competitions as a producer, and even adding to her our characters fiction both in the wiki and fictional writings. I'm excited to see how far she can go in this club and I look forward to her growth into the future. Congratulations on such a huge milestone! Here's to many more to come!

Hitting JM4 is one hell of an accomplishment, and I am glad I was contacted to add my voice to the call for Ashlynn's promotion. She is a talented and capable member, one I am glad to see return to the club as a strong member for COU. This is a great accomplishment Ash and I hope to continue to see you around kicking ass and having fun in this club. Congratulations

Edema R'uh-Kalinor, Jono to his friends, has a long history with the Brotherhood. He first joined at the end of 2002, 14 ½ years ago. Life got in the way, as life so often does, and he rejoined the Brotherhood - and Arcona - in February of 2016. As a Hunter, he was full of drive and vigor, pushing ideas and activity left and right. Within a month he had been raised to Knight. Then, a mere six months later, he joined the ranks of the Equite. Now, ten months later, his drive and vigor are unchanged. He remains full of new ideas, pushing his leadership to generate new content, and new ways for himself and his peers to enjoy the Brotherhood. It's a welcome and much-valued distinction. There isn't a fictional situation Jono sees that he doesn't try and improve, or add to, or expand on in some way. And he makes everyone around him better for his efforts.

His own personal activity is a testament to his drive and determination. Since his last promotion in September of 2016, Jono has organized 11 competitions and participated in 43. He has submitted 13 works of fiction which, combined with his RO posts, total 23,000 words. He has passed 10 courses in the Shadow Academy and gained 3 degrees. He has also been consistently active in reports and news posts, pushing forward the relevant discussions through his 26 comments.

During his time as a Mystic, he has garnered a number of laurels for himself. He has earned ten Crescents for competition placement, 30 Clusters of Fire, 121 Clusters of Earth, 8 Clusters of Graphite, and a truly impressive 43 Clusters of Ice. He has also earned three Scrolls of Foundation and a Seal of Loyalty. In addition to the above, his activity has been recognized in the form of both an Anteian Cross and a Steel Cross.

This has been a long time coming, longer than most. But there is no one who has earned it more.

For his continuous and ongoing contributions to his Clan, his unwavering zeal for the Brotherhood, and his unparalleled personal activity, it is my honor to recommend that Edema R'uh-Kalinor be elevated to Equite II.

Congratulations, Jono. Keep making us proud.

Edema R'uh-Kalinor has shown tremendous initiative and set a wonderful example for the members around him. His level of activity in the last few months alone is impressive and sets the standard for not only those in his Battleteam, but throughout the entire clan.

In addition to the numerous competitions he has organized and participated in since his last promotion, as well as his progress in the Shadow Academy, Edema has been very active on Telegram and often provides a much needed perspective on how things are running. He was an invaluable resource to both Koliss Welcott and myself in establishing Battleteam Voidbreaker. Having been around long enough to see the attempted rise of Battleteam Styx, he provided an insider’s perspective about what works and what might not in attempting to gain and keep interest in the new team. His perspective and insight has, without a doubt, been a vital piece of the success Voidbreaker has seen and, hopefully, will continue to see.

Edema is an asset to whichever unit he is a part of and I wish him the best as he continues his journey through the ranks and the Brotherhood. Congratulations, Edema!

Edema R'uh-Kalinor has demonstrated a passion that is truly an inspiration for other members within the Clan. Since his last promotion, he has both organized and participated in multiple competitions, and has earned multiple Shadow Academy degrees.

In addition to his personal accomplishments, he has demonstrated remarkable leadership skills. Though he does not hold a leadership position within the Clan, he took it upon himself to develop a survey to poll members of the Clan about their individual interests regarding their taste in events. His survey received a remarkable amount of feedback with some illuminating results. He also regularly organizes competitions and is quite active within the Telegram community.

Thank you, Edema, for your dedication and commitment to excellence. I wish you nothing but the best as you continue your progress up the Equite ranks. Congratulations!
