Blade Ta'var continues to make a name for herself as a talent, driven, and resourceful member. But beyond her successes in the ACC, her curbstomping JA performances, and consistent interaction with members from around the club, we simply know her as Blade, the warrior doge, who will stop at nothing to be the best there ever was. Since her promotion to EQ1, Blade has gone on to advance from AED to QUA, leading House Excidium from the front lines. She is constantly in communication with her house, reinforcing her dependable nature as she helps provide resources they need to become even stronger members.

When placed with a problem, or opportunity, she is relentless in her efforts to push it forward. This can be seen in her efforts to make Excidium more active, give Excidium a new fictional direction (along with some lovely flow charts) or in her many page proposals regarding things from ideas for clan members "roles" to a fleet useable in Excidium's unique fictional setting. When she has an idea she gives 110% to make sure it is seen and understandable. But she also understands not everything is doable, and when approached with a roadblock, she knows how to step back and reassess the situation to get around it. Blade truly is the kind of leader we hope all leaders can be like.

But Blade isn't just a leader, she is a member of the highest caliber. Consistently active, consistently driving forward to victory, she pushes herself, and those around her to be even better. Since earning EQ1, Blade has gone on to participate in some 66 different competitions, including nearly all of the competitions in our recent Midnight event, where she took 1st place overall. Blade sitting at the top of the leaderboard is now a very common sight. Her efforts in the last several months have gone on to earn her 2 Steel Crosses, 1 Bronze Nova, 6 Diamond Stars, 1 Ruby Star, 14 Amethyst Stars, 9 Sapphire Stars, 4 Emerald Stars, 3 PoBs, 170 Clusters of Fire, 68 Clusters of Ice, and 1 Legion of the Scholar.

I know Blade will continue to go far in this club, and I cannot wait to see just what mayhem and powerhouse ideas she ends up setting up along the way. She is definitely ready to advance on to the rank of EQ2. Congratulations Blade! Drinks are on you!

Blade Ta'var is not a difficult member to correlate into numbers, she games hard, he excels in writing, she partakes in every competition she can fit into her busy schedule. Blade makes it her undying duty to become the shining example of participation for the Excidiacs she leads. But it is her persona and human side that really struck me. That told me Blade is ready to ascend.

Proposal after idea after brainstorm, Blade works her hardest to deliver the highest caliber of goods for her members. She listens intently, she writes down their ideas and fights their case for a better Brotherhood. Her passion for her members is unrivaled and a marvel to watch. It was an honour to serve with her for the two months she was my Aedile, but now as a Quaestor I can watch her flourish.

Congratulations Blade! The drinks are on you!

Dr. Lexiconus Qor, 2017-01-08 22:59:25 UTC

Blade's activity record is absolutely monstrous, the numbers of which, stated in Xen's request, put her in the very top tier of the club's active members, combining ability and quality with raw quantity of submissions. Blade enters everything and tries her best in all of it, earning every crescent from Diamond to Emerald, as well as a bronze nova, and first place overall in the two latest clan wide events. 12 Diamond Crescents in one year is not something that happens by chance.

We are very lucky to have such an active and talented member in our ranks. Blade is a powerhouse of activity who truly leads by example in her role as QUA of Excidium, a role in which she is constantly churning out new original proposals for ideas to develop the fictional setting of her house.

Blade's accomplishments are more than worthy of an Equite 2.

Blade is a force all her own, and an unstoppable one at that. Competition after competition, she strives to do her very best and consistently her efforts pay off with another win to her name. A fantastic listener, amazing problem solver, idealist, brainstormer, all around powerhouse of a QUA, she is someone I know I can take a page from. I have great deal of respect for Blade and what she does, and I cannot thank her enough for every bit of the hard work she is always putting into everything she does.

Blade, I don’t know how you do it, but don’t stop. Stay amazing! Thank you for all the work you put in. You deserve this.

It's that time again! Someone get Q to stop dominating for a second so we can ring her praises, would ya?

Since Q's last promotion nine months ago, she has brought in an impressive two Steel Crosses and two Anteian Crosses. This should come as no surprise, considering the veracity with which the Mercenary is constantly winning competitions, having brought in an astounding thirty-four crescents! All this in a total of seventy-two competitions for an awe-inspiring success rate of fourty-six percent! The crescents include nine Diamond, six Ruby, nine Amethyst, five Sapphire, four Emerald and, for good measure, a single Topaz variation. This was most recently highlighted in achieving First Place in the month-long Project: S.P.E.C.I.A.L. competition series run for Clan Naga Sadow. In addition to crescent-shaped shineys, Q also brought in a single Pendant of Blood, one-hundred-sixty-four Clusters of Fire, fifty-seven Clusters of Earth, three Clusters of Graphite and a mind-boggling one-hundred-fifty-four Clusters of Ice for having written sixty-one-thousand-one-hundred-thirty-seven words!

Oh, and Ms. Brainy-pants also brought in a single Legion of the Scholar, passed one course and graded five courses.

Always ready to help the community, during this time Qyreia also organized two competition, spent three months as a Battleteam Leader and is currently an ACC Judge, a position she's occupied for two months. As an ACC Judge, Q has judged five matches and has set an example to others by completing one match.

What else is there to say about this unstoppable machine? Q is constantly present and is always providing that careful mix of competitiveness with good-naturedness. Always a pleasure to have around, I cannot think of a more appropriate next-step for this Zeltron than to receive this promotion to EQ2.

Well done and congratulations!

Proudly, Aul Celsus, Aedile of House Shar Dakhan

This is probably one of the easiest recommendations I have needed to write in quite some time. Since joining my staff of judges in the Antei Combat Center, Qyreia has been a true force within it. The numbers can only show you so much, and in that regard you have a list of 5 matches judged in that time frame. To quantify this, each judgement takes a minimum of three hours to complete for a seasoned staff member. Being new, Qyreia has devoted extensive time and effort to ensuring that members are receiving the highest quality of feedback we can offer while maintaining a fair judgement.

That's not where the line stops for an ACC Judge though. Q has been an ever present force within the team chat. He offers up ideas, counter points, and his opinions on topics as they come up. What has been invaluable is his real world experience with some of the equipment our Non-Force Users tend to favor. That's really the crutch of what I can say about Qyreia: "Invaluable".

Beyond that I recognize his drive to participate. Alongside my own participation, he is a major driving force in creating a recurring podcast discussing writing fiction within the Brotherhood, or in Star Wars on a general scale. He contributes to art, writing, and gaming competitions with a high rate of top three placement that is, frankly, infuriating as a "friendly" competitor! But, he is my friend... and it's an honor to both say that and offer this recommendation for Q-ball's promotion to the rank of Raider.

Enjoy the points, Red Qek. They are well earned.

Qyreia is a machine. He's super active, cares about others and isn't afraid to have his say. He's a fiction extraordinaire and has taken the opportunity to join the ACC as a Judge, where he has excelled. Qyreia has been a well known name club wide since joining us, thanks to his ability to dominate competitions and pull a top three placing consistently (mostly 1st place). His amazing level of activity has been detailed by Aul and I'm pleased to see Q-Ball reach the rank of Raider.

Congratulations!!!

Professor Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar, 2017-01-03 21:12:21 UTC

As mentioned above, Qyreia is not afraid to speak his mind. This is something that is valued from a member who has great ideas on how to help and expand on certain things for the House and Clan. Sometimes his ideas are not used but that doesn't mean they carry no weight or merit.

Q has been an amazing presence for House Shar Dakhan throughout his career here, and it's one that I am thankful for. We may not see eye to eye all the time about stuff, but his opinion and input on some things that I discuss with him are valuable to me and my decisions on how to further advance the House.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication, not only to HSD and CNS, but also to the DJB. You are without a doubt a prominent figure in the Club who can go far should you so wish to.
