Dek Rott, Dek Ironius II, it matters not the name but only his examples and demonstrations of achievements and the confidence of others in him. A prime example of what an Equite can really do, if given the chance to participate and work within the Dark Council. With such an extended and diverse sheet of experience, we should take note of everything he has done and all he has helped.

As a supremely active member, Dek has participated in 46 competitions and earned 2 Diamond, 2 Ruby, 4 Amethyst, and 2 Sapphire for his hard and consistent effort in making high-quality competition submissions. Dek is also a renowned writer who puts his soul into the fiction and runons he is part of. By having participated in 7 fictional activities, writing over 15572 in Fictions & 2391 words in Runons it shows Dek is capable of performing in any scenario. For his hard work and dedication, he earned 42 CIs. Dek has proven to be a high-quality achiever in the past, as seen on August 2016 he earned an Anteian Cross.

Dek, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kind service in aiding our House and Clan, as well as being a Wiki-master with our pages.

Congratulations Commander Ironius! The drinks are on you!

Over the last eleven months Dek Ironius has been a massive aid to myself, and an exemplary member. And for his efforts, today I have the honor of recommending he advance on to Equite II.

To date, Dek has competed in 46 total competitions. These include 7 fiction submissions totalling 15,572 words. These competitions have earned him 2 Diamond Stars, 2 Ruby Stars, 4 Amethyst Stars, and 2 Sapphire Stars. He has taken home 42 Clusters of Ice, 1 Dark Side Scroll, 1 Steel Cross, and 1 Anteian Cross. He has also completed 9 Shadow Academy Courses and earned two degrees.

Beyond his efforts as a member. Dek has provided great insight in the further development of clan and house lore. His work in these areas have continued to be worked on for implementation on the wiki, where he has either written or rewritten many of the CSP pages.

The long and the short of it is, Dek is a dedicated and passionate member, which are the exact qualities we hope to see from a Equite in the club. Congratulations Dek! Drinks are on you!

Consul of Scholae Palatinae

In addition to his excellent competition record, Dek has always been a fantastic aid to the summits of both his house and his clan. With a vast array of experience of fictional development, a keen eye for detail, and no shortage of ideas, he's been a key figure behind the fictional development and lore of Scholae Palatinae and Imperium, helping to maintain a strong wiki presence as well as a strong fictional foundation.

For his support over a long period of time, I'm happy to recommend Dek for a promotion. Congratulations!

Today we have the opportunity to recognize the outstanding efforts of one of our great Knights. Alara has continued to press hard in her efforts in the clan, her house, and her battleteam. Be it quality submissions or sound advice to her clanmates, Alara has proved she is ready to advance on to the Equite ranks.

Since reaching the rank of Knight, Alara has completed some 36 total competitions. These have earned her 1 Diamond, 1 Ruby, 1 Amethyst, 2 Sapphire, 6 Emerald, and 1 Topaz Stars. These submissions helped earn her a fourth overall in our recent Clan Event “Operation Starfall”, and her submissions in the Clan feud against Naga Sadow earlier this year helped secure CSP a victory. In addition to these, she has participated in 5 ACC matches, earned 17 Clusters of Ice, 9 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Legion of the Scholar, 1 Anteian Cross, and 1 Dark Cross.

Congratulations Alara and welcome to the Equite ranks!

Consul of Scholae Palatinae

Lord Idris Adenn, 2016-11-13 06:16:04 UTC

Alara has been an integral member of Scholae Palatinae since joining, and her activity remains strong in the raw numbers, the effort, and the community contribution.

The raw numbers have been expressed in Xen's recommendation. In addition to this, Alara has hosted 3 competitions of her own, and co-hosted 5. Alara's competitions are often creative and unusual, allowing members to showcase skills and participate in activities outside of what the brotherhood typically offers and is why Alara is so important to us as a clan. Examples of this are the musical and song-writing competitions we recently co-hosted.

Just as impressive is the effort and care she puts in to her own work. If you ask Alara for a drawing, she produces a painting. If you ask her for a poem, she'll write one and sing it too. I've had personal experience of working with Alara, as she was an instrumental part of the diamond crescent winning multimedia team in the Clan Feud, where she expertly provided the voices for every character in the movie. Alara has a wonderful range of talents and has applied them expertly in the 8 months since her last promotion.

Congratulations!

It has been a pleasure to get to know Alara Deathbane on her journey to join the Equites. When I think of Alara, two things has always been clear: dedication and the willingness to do a little extra. First, Alara has been active for some time now and continues to stay active despite the real world’s trials and tribulation. She is a great example of a loyal, active clan member who kicks ass and helps out the clan as much as possible. In the most recent Clan event, Alara was a beacon of activity and a great example not only to House Excidium but to the Clan itself.

In addition, Alara has fulfilled the role of Sergeant for eight months now. This urge to do a little extra on a regular basis is a wonderful trait to have in a clan member. She has helped run several extended major battle team competitions, helped members wherever needed, and assisted her battlet eam leader in the creation of team reports. In addition, she recently put together a trial for the newest nominee for her unit, Tacitus Athanasius, along with the BTL. As her QUA, I had wanted to kick it off sooner rather than later and Alara responded quickly despite the tight deadline. As part of this trial she had to confer with the BTL of Tacitus Athanasius, co-judge the fiction entry, and she volunteered to write summary fiction that ended up being 1066 words. I super appreciated the quick turnaround and the effort she put into it to ensure the trial ran well.

In conclusion, I hereby recommend Alara Deathbane ascend to Equite membership, specifically the rank of Mystic. Her community efforts, activity, and continued dedication are exactly what makes an Equite special. Congratz and well done!! Drinks are on you! Have fun with all those new points for the ACC!!!

Warrior Jorm Na’trej has spent his time at Equite I knocking out quality work, both for competitions, clan discussions, and insight on various clan projects, specifically regarding to the development of House Excidium. Today I am honored to recommend his advancement on to Equite II.

To date, Jorm has competed in 38 competitions. These include ones from our recently finished clan event, our feud against Naga Sadow, and a house feud earlier in the year. These efforts have earned him 2 Diamond Stars, 5 Ruby Stars, 1 Amethyst Star, 2 Sapphire Stars, and 2 Emerald Stars. Additionally he has earned 1 Grand Cross, 1 Anteian Cross, 1 Dark Cross, 88 Clusters of Fire, 14 Clusters of Ice, 1 Scroll of Indoctrination, 1 Scroll of the Master, and 1 Legion of the Scholar.

On the project front, Jorm has been largely responsible for much of House Excidium’s lore and development. He has helped put a lot of thought on possible loadouts for the House with the release of unit possessions. On Telegram, he is actively nearly every single day, often prompting large scale discussions about many different topics.

Jorm has shown that the Warrior is ready to become the Battlemaster. Congratulations Jorm, drinks are on you!

Consul of Scholae Palatinae

Lord Idris Adenn, 2016-11-13 07:06:30 UTC

Jorm's consistent whirlwind of activity across all areas of the brotherhood has showed no signs of slowing over the years he's been with us in Scholae Palatinae. His activity in competitions only scratches the surface of what Jorm brings to the clan in terms of contribution.

As mentioned Jorm is responsible for most of the lore behind Excidium. This contribution has come in a variety of forms, in ideas, in proposals, and in wikipedia development, largely one of the reasons Excidium, with its nomadic, decentralised structure, has become such a unique battleteam. Recently Jorm was assigned the task of deciding which ships Excidium needs to accomplish its goals from the possessions system. What came back was a 16 page document, co-authored with Blade and Arch.

What also should not be forgotten is how important Jorm can be in raising the standards of others' work, as well as his own. If I want someone to find a flaw in something, I'll ask Jorm. He'll find one. Even if there's not one there. I experienced this on an extreme level on the multimedia competition in the clan feud, where Jorm was part of the winning team, and came back with 5 mistakes in every frame of the movie, showing immense attention to the smallest details. Without that, and him lending his voice as a narrator, there is no way it would have been the high quality work that it is. This trait in Jorm is something that I feel CSP greatly relies on, as it pushes us to think in different ways and explore new options.

I have no doubt that Jorm raises the standards of everyone he works with, and has shown the maturity, activity and consistency worthy of the rank of Battlemaster.

Mead on you!

General Zentru'la, 2016-11-12 11:14:30 UTC

I’ve known Jorm for some time now and the first thought that comes to my mind is “isn’t that the most amazing minion you could ask for?” He may play the role of an ordinary rank and file clan member but his work over the last 11 months as an Equite 1 has been anything but ordinary. He is dedicated, active, and willing to “get his hands dirty” to help out the clan. In the most recent Clan event, Jorm “The Jester” not only participated in several competitions but also was available every day in the telegram channels to help any younger members tread the DB waters.

Now, his consistent activity and winning record speak for themselves, but his projects and impact on House Excidium has been far more interesting. Firstly, Jorm has been in CSP for a long time and often helps guide the younger members, whether it be the best way to plan the future or something as simple as setting up a game. Secondly, Jorm has always had a VESTED interest in the lore of House Excidium and has put in a lot of work to help build that lore. Before I became the Quaestor of House Excidium, I knew that he had written the wiki writeup for the House (despite not being in a leadership position), reached out to others to help create the Excidium Fleet as it currently stands on the wiki, and much more to ensure that Excidium move forward.

What about now? A new Quaestor came along and House Excidium now has “two cooks in the kitchen”. Since then, he has worked with me to help drive Excidium forward. We haven’t always agreed but he has provided the sort of real feedback that is required to make an idea great for everyone. More recently, the new possessions system gave Excidium a chance to relook at our Fleet. To that end, a very long document was put together. Yes, it was 16 pages but more importantly it was the well researched, discussed, and reviewed for accuracy compared to the new House Excidium direction. As a Quaestor, I did not have to prod him to make those changes and I find that “just do it attitude” wonderful to work with. As a result, House Excidium had a base for its new Quaestor to work off of and we kept true to the spirit of the House when we picked out a suggested Fleet buildout for the House.

In conclusion, I hereby recommend Jorm “The Jester” Na’trej be promoted to Equite 2. This is a member that has made himself a pillar of House Excidium without taking on the leadership mantle. His project work has been excellent and he has given invaluable service to many, including myself. He even manages to stay active despite these extra duties. Therefore, a huge congratz to a very deserving member! Well done!! Drinks are on you and no you can’t steal Blade’s Rancor Tequila!!! I look forward to the work we do together in the future ^^.

Today we recognized the continued efforts and workings of Kyo Akumu. “Tofu” has walked the long road since reaching Knighthood, and continues to demonstrate a keen mind and skilled work ethic. Over the last eleven months Kyo has continued to integrate himself into the clan, and today, I wish to recognize his efforts by recommending he be advanced into the Equite ranks.

Since reaching Knight, Kyo has competed in some 36 total competitions. His quality work has gone on to net him 3 Amethyst Stars, 8 Sapphire Stars, and 2 Topaz. He has also taken home an Anteian Cross. In a club where many hit Knight and then disappear, Kyo continues to come around and this dedication should be appropriately rewarded.

Congratulations Kyo!

Consul of Scholae Palatinae

Lord Idris Adenn, 2016-11-12 23:14:07 UTC

Kyo Akumu, my eldest and most loyal of students, who has developed and ascended to a strong and capable member. He pertains a degree of high standard of competitions that rival the Equites we see today, as a writer and a member. Kyo has participated in 36 competitions which has earned him a total of 3 Amethyst, 8 Sapphire, and 2 Topaz Crescents. As a writer, he has also participated in a fictional activity, and wrote 111 words, demonstrating his capability as an author.

As evidence for his high-quality and successful activity, Kyo Akumu also earned an Anteian Cross for his efforts in August 2016. As a beacon of activity for Knights across the Brotherhood, a prime example of a mature and growing member, and as a sign of respect to him, I am honoured in promoting him to Equite 1.

Congratulations, Warrior Akumu! The drinks are on you!

Kyo is a member we're very happy to have around in the clan, and delighted that he's stuck with us for almost a year and a half, constantly churning out a consistent flow of activity in competitions and community contribution via telegram. Kyo takes a lot of pride in his work, and is constantly looking to improve, having participated in my fiction workshop earlier this year. Kyo continues to apply skills he's learned along the way. For this constant level of activity over 11 months, I'm happy to say Kyo is ready to join the Equite ranks. Congratulations
