Kelly Mendes has filled many roles in Plagueis: activity dynamo, rollmaster extrodinare, and even Queen of Games. Her level of activity is absolutely second to none, and all the while she was killing it competitively she was often doing even better as a leader in Clan Plagueis.

In the realm of personal activity, she has participated in 53 competitions since her last promotion. As part of that activity, during the Between Light and Dark feud between Plagueis and Odan-Urr she entered 9 of a possible 11 events and lead her house in participation. She took first place in both feud gaming events during the feud and ended up scoring fourth overall in the feud. Her feud activity alone netted her an Anteian Cross for her efforts. All told since her last promotion, she has earned 13 crescents with her activity (3 diamond, 5 amethyst, 3 sapphire, and 1 each of emerald and topaz). Gaming wise, Kelly has always been a force to be reckoned with. Personally reporting 70 PvP matches and 6 PvE activities (and probably taking part in even more), she has earned 7 pendants of blood and 263 clusters of fire while putting lie to the idea that Pazaak is just about luck. Fiction wise she has earned 10 clusters of ice and also completed 4 ACC matches as well. As a student in the Shadow Academy, she has continued to broaden her education with 5 SA courses, 2 Novitiate Hall courses, and a Dark Maven degree.

As a leader, Kelly has been invaluable to Clan Plagueis in her service as Clan Rollmaster. Tasked with shepherding the Clan’s novitiates and journeymen, Kelly oversaw the efforts of both the Battleteam Leaders and individual Masters to create a unified program to guide members to Knighthood. Under her tenure as Rollmaster between December 2015 and March 2016 her efforts saw four members reach the rank of Knight (Kryy Vitaan, Gad Rane, Areticus Atlainatus, and Kul'tak Drol), work that helps secure the future of our Clan. She also filed her mid-month reports on time each month during her tenure, working with her Battleteam Leader subordinates to ensure they provided their monthly contributions to the reports in order to get our junior leaders into the habit of filing reports themselves to serve them after they ascended higher up the ranks of Plagueis. She also organized 10 competitions and co-organized 1 more since her last elevation. Additionally, Kelly has moved beyond simply Clan Leadership and service as well, showing the kind of Brotherhood wide drive and perspective that mark the best in our Club. She has served nearly six months as Magistrate to the Master at Arms, and I’m sure that her boss there will cover that service below. Also, in addition to her studies at the Shadow Academy, she has also served as Docent for the Leadership Competitions course and graded 47 exams in her capacity there while earning four Scrolls of Foundation for her service.

Whether it be to herself, her clan, or the Brotherhood as a whole, Kelly has provided service that marks her as standing out from the crowd. I thank her for what she has done and continues to do day in and day out to make Plagueis a better place, be it running competitions or being a constant voice in our Clan’s Telegram channel looking to build our community through positive contributions. As such, it is my great honor to come before you to request her advancement to the rank of Savant.

The Queen of Pazaak, Kelly Mendes. Beyond the amazing gaming turnout, you are an amazing overall player, member and individual. Everything you do is not only for your benefit as a member, but also the betterment of the Clan. From competitions completed to advice given, you always act above your station. This attitude and work ethic, along with your activity mentioned above, is clear reason why you are so deserving of thia promotion. Bravo!

Having known kelly since before she entered the DJB and having brought here to the fold myself, I look back on what she has accomplished with more than a little pride. As for pazaak queen? That title belonged to me long ago, but now it truly does belong to Kelly. Her quest for pazaak glory is unrelenting and I find myself doubting my abilities if I ever have to play her now. As for her role in the club? None is more deserving of the increase in rank from Mystic to Savant than her. She did a fantastic job in the role of RM, and even outside that role her main aim was always to make sure that everyone in the club enjoyed themselves. Note that there is no 'I' in the name Kelly Mendes; she always strives to put everyone before herself as she has done so many times in the DJB.

A good friend, mentor to some, and just a fantastic team player. Kelly is more than deserving of her new title. Well done, Kelly. Keep being awesome!

Kelly has continued to serve admirably as a Master at Arms Magistrate over the last five months. She takes an active role in our discussions on merit and promotion requests, is quick to process requests herself, and eager to continue working with Howie and I on refining and bettering the Brotherhood's system of member recognition both now and in the future. A lot of this work boils down to a day to day presence, and it is those members who can commit to checking in each day who maintain our bedrock. Thank you, Kelly, for these many months of hard work. I assisted in your last promotion and am honored and proud to be helping you pass another milestone in your bright career. I hope you will carry your many lessons from our time together with you as you tackle bigger and greater challenges.

Lucifer Romanov is an activity beast. Gaming, writing, Shadow Academy courses, he's done it all. He has participated in 10 competitions, placed in two, earned 100 Clusters of Earth, 5 Clusters of Ice and 4 Pendants of Blood. Lucifer reached rank III in the GMRG, SA and INQ societies.

On top of all of that, in the short minimum time that is required for him to stay in rank (21 days), Lucifer also earned an Anteian Cross. He keeps a regular presence on Telegram and he has already become a household name. His Master, Darth Aeternus, speaks highly of him. I think, Lucifer has the potential to become his greatest apprentice.

I would say it is about time this promotion happened. Congratulations, Hunter Lucifer Romanov!

Frosty Romanae Tarentae, 2016-05-20 07:49:00 UTC

My apprentice is making me very proud. at the time he was promoted to Acolyte, he had already done enough to meet the activity for this promotion. he is already hard at work to meet the requirements for the next as well, including earning a degree in the SA. it's been a good while since I last saw someone being so active, and it is quite refreshing, and there is not a lot more I can add to that.

so, congratulations, apprentice!

Darth Aeternus, 2016-05-19 19:50:00 UTC

Lucifer is almost a constant presence on Telegram and a frequent competitor in our competitions. He fits in with the Clan as if he was always here. Since his last promotion less than a month ago he has been taking on the Shadow Academy, picked up seven crescents, a merit award, and a bunch of gaming. I can say without a doubt that this guy is going to go far in the Brotherhood, and that we are delighted to have him in our Clan. Great work so far, Lucifer. Keep up the phenomenal effort!

Jabis Ravenhawk is one of the members of Clan Odan-Urr, who are steady and determined. It has taken him a bit to finally complete the training, but I am proud to recommend him the well-deserved promotion to the rank of the Knight.

As of now, Jabis has fulfilled all requirements for the promotion. Overally, he has participated in 27 competitions, including Galaxy of Heroes Level Race, [Force Ascendant] Temple Escape, Guess the Picture 2 and many more. His high level of activity has collected him a Crescent with Amethyst Star and a Crescent with Topaz Star, 10 Pendants of Blood, 48 Clusters of Fire and 25 Clusters of Earth. He has also earned two Dark Crosses and a Seal of Loyalty for his excellent activity.

Since his last promotion, Jabis has also passed seven Shadow Academy courses, including Leadership Rewards and Leadership Competitions courses. Finally, he has organized Sonic Dash - Mobile Gaming competitions, which has had 15 participants from whole Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

When I look at the record of Jabis' activity, I can clearly see that Jabis is more than ready to become a fully-trained Knight. I am sure that Jabis will be one of the beacons of activity and excellence in our Clan

Adept Xantros, 2016-05-18 06:37:01 UTC

Very shortly after Jabis Ravenhawk returned to House Hoth he reached out for help becoming more active not only in the DJB but in House Hoth. He was very eager o learn how to create and run his own DJB wide mobile gaming comp "Sonic Dash" to complete his promotion requirements. With little guidance he did his own research to find a game that was easy to grade and available to the widest audience as possible. He made sure to include members with Windows phones and not just Android and Apple owners for maximum coverage.

His attention to detail helped make the comp a success and once the comp was completed Jabis graded and awarded the medals in a very acceptable amount of time. Which is something every member benefits from.

In closing, Jabis Ravenhawk has come back to the House with a determination and spark that I love to see in the House. I'm happy to be a part of his accession in the ranks and I look forward to see where our newest Knight goes from here.

Congratulations Knight Ravenhawk, you earned it!

Edgar Drachen, 2016-05-17 16:23:01 UTC

Ve'lira, 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 be filed. Your accomplishments include:

• Have an approved character sheet on record
• Participate in 3 competitions
• Pass Dark Brotherhood Basics Shadow Academy course
• Write 750 words of character fiction as reviewed and approved by your unit leadership or master.

I will continue to watch your progress, Ve'lira, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

Neophyte Tahiri Khan Drakon has been a very solid worker. She has slowly but surely conquered every task in her promotion requirement list. Tahiri has participated in 20, Twenty, competitions. She's reached Rank 2 of the Shadow Academy, courtesy of completing the Trivia for a New Age, Astronomy Studies, Planets and Moons, ACC Combat Studies, since her last promotion. She is a consistent presence on the Clan's Telegram channels. Her active character sheet, and the documents she has sent me preparing for her wiki, has her well on her way to developing a very solid character.

She has done all that, while being a full time college student. And she is always asking questions and being an active member of the Nekros Syndicate's social channels.

With all this in mind, I believe that Tahiri Khan Drakon has more than earned her promotion.

Congrats, Acolyte Tahiri Khan Drakon!

Signed,

Knight Solas Night-Thorn

Tahiri is a competition machine! In the relatively short time she has been in Clan Tarentum she has already participated in 20 competitions, outstripping even some of our Equites. While she is not always on Telegram she is on there occasionally and for such a new member is already becoming well established in the Clan. She has passed four Shadow Academy courses and earned three crescents. Additionally, she has started to work on building her character background for the wiki and has gotten a character sheet approved.

I am already glad to have Tahiri with us in my House, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for her.
