I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Kyber has been a fantastic journeyman in Taldryan, and the steps he has taken to Knighthood should be emulated and admired by new and old members a like. He has co-organized three competitions (Zoron's Bogan, Moon of Terror!), he has been active in the Shadow Academy (including earning two Dark Mavens and a boat load of other courses - making him a Junior in the Society), he competes in competitions (and wins, having earned a Crescent with Sapphire Star and Emerald Star), he writes fiction, he competes in the ACC! He's a well rounded member - and I know he will continue to be one in the future! Congratulations on your promotion!

Howlader Taldrya, 2015-08-07 22:46:46 UTC

Kyber has been an active member of Taldryan even if he’s a silent one. Those are the ones that get you, the silent types. Jokes aside, Kyber organized a competition like none that I had seen before, Bogan, Moon of Terror. He also be an active scholar in the Shadow Academy earning himself 2 Dark Maven Degrees, completing 23 courses and SA rank IV. He is a dominator in fiction, gaming competitions and in the ACC. All that there is left to say is that I’m glad he’s one of ours. Congratulations, and enjoy your promotion!

Kyber has been a silent force amongst Taldryan's journeymen ever since he joined our ranks. It's never easy for a new member to join right in the midst of a Great Jedi War... let alone the titanic struggle that was the DarkCrusades-FadingLight-GreatJediWar. But it didn't phase Kyber one bit, and he joined in with aplomb and kept plugging away as the months ticked by.

Kyber has also been a consistent voice of feedback from the journeymen, which is a greatly valued trait by the Clan leadership, especially from a newly joined member. Whereas normally we get a "I like everything" or a "I don't like this" from members, Kyber was always willing to give us examples of what he did or didn't like, and exactly why he did or didn't like them. This type of insight is rare, as is the attitude behind it that lets him speak so frankly.

It is those qualities more than anything that make me thankful for the fact that Kyber has joined our ranks, and those same qualities make me even more proud to be able to confirm the rank that he so rightly deserves.

Kyber, today you become a Knight of Taldryan. Congratulations, and keep up the great work!

Kyber is one of those members every leader hopes to have in their group. That is someone that maintains an active presence. Since January he has managed to submit to multiple competitions every month. He even co-organized a fun Taldryan house feud which was made up of 3 sub-competitions.

Completing the required requisites gives him the right to become a Dark Jedi Knight, but for his level of activity and attitude towards Taldryan gives him the right to be a Knight of Taldryan.

Raistline Taldrya Majere, 2015-08-07 07:40:25 UTC

Kyber has been a great apprentice - he doesn't need hand-holding, has some good ideas and plans, and also keeps working at a pace that keeps him from burning out while still advancing his way through our ranks. He jumped into planning a Clan-wide event when I approached him with the task, working collaboratively with me to create a fun Moon of Terror event. Further to that, even though he has completed the requirements for DJK and has no obligation to create further competitions, he has recently emailed me a detailed list of a handful of new ideas for some standalone competitions that show his interest in continuing to grow/develop in the Clan and Brotherhood. This, more than anything else, shows to me how deserving he is of this promotion. I am extremely happy to submit this recommendation for Kyber's elevation to Dark Jedi Knight!

I am honoured to be recommending Armad for his elevation to the Equites. He has stepped up since his last elevation, proving himself to be an active and driven member of the Brotherhood and Clan Naga Sadow. It takes hard work and motivation to continue to keep up the level of activity I have seen from this member. Armad has stepped up to any and every challenge that has come his way.

Since his last elevation, he has been dedicated and fully immersed himself inside of House Marka Ragnos' event, Homecoming and the inter-clan event between Scholae and Naga Sadow, Red Fury. In total Armad has competed in fifty six, that's right, FIFTY SIX competitions since being Knighted. This shows Armad is a reliable & active member of Naga Sadow and allows him, as Battleteam Leader, to lead by example. Not only is his participation high, Armad is a constant presence inside of #naga_sadow on IRC and on Telegram, chatting with new and old members alike to keep people active inside of the channels. Armad has never stopped expanding his own experience inside of the Brotherhood. Building up a knowledge for the SW universe as well as the Brotherhood side of things, this has been in the form of passing six exams.

Since his last elevation Armad has proved to be an excellent member earning himself 120 Clusters of Earth, 106 Clusters of Fire, 14 Clusters of Ice, 1 Crescent with Topaz Star, 7 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 2 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star and 1 Crescent with Ruby Star. Alongside that, Armad has garnered 5 Seals of Revelation, 4 Seals of Crusader, 1 Scroll of Foundation, 1 Scroll of the Master, 1 Dark Cross, 1 Anteian Cross and 1 Steel Cross.

On top of this massive amount of awards, Armad has assisted others, making sure that they learn and progress inside of the Brotherhood. He has recently mastered Scarlet to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight. Taking her under his wing and teaching her all about the Brotherhood.

Armad has also served as Battleteam Leader of the Night Raptors for the past three months, encouraging his members to be active despite undergoing problems in his personal life. Armad has also been working with his Battleteam Sergeant, Tasha, in working on our wiki project involving the House ship, the Majestic Class Heavy Cruiser, the Retribution, fleshing out our squadrons and NPC crew.

Congratulations on Krath Priest, Armad, your hard work and drive has not gone unnoticed. You are a firm pillar of House Marka Ragnos and I appreciate all of the hard work you are doing and continue to do. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Professor Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar, 2015-08-03 06:58:34 UTC

I'm proud to be writing this recommendation to promote Dark Jedi Knight Armad to the first of the Equite ranks. He has well earned it, with his solid leadership and frequent participation. Said participation has spammed the gamut of activities, from writing and gaming competitions, to SA courses. Furthermore, Armad has assisted me and the Summit multiple times, of his own volition. He is someone who I am proud to have in Naga Sadow.

As Battleteam Leader of the reformed Night Raptors, Armad got the team off the ground quickly. He led the team in the Red Fury event with Clan Scholae Palatinae, and released consistent reports in the time he's been leader. He quickly assisted each member in finding their own role in the team. He has run or co-organized seven competitions, which had 13 unique participants and 21 total entries. Overall, Armad has served as a solid Battleteam Leader. In addition to his standard leadership duties, Armad earned a Scroll of the Master for mentoring Scarlet to Dark Jedi Knight.

As an active member, Armad participated in 63 total competitions. As a result, he earned 13 Crescents, including one Topaz, one Emerald, seven Sapphire, two Amethyst, and even a Ruby and Diamond Crescent. In addition, he has completed nine Shadow Academy courses. He also has written 5578 words of fiction and participated in 43 pvp matches. As a result of his gaming and writing, Armad has earned 120 Clusters of Earth, 14 Clusters of Ice, and 110 Clusters of Fire. His activity is exemplied in the awards he has earned: Armad earned a Steel Cross for his competition participation, as well as solid activity on email and IRC. He then later earned an Anteian Cross for participation in the 11th Great Jedi War.

Finally, Armad has personally assisted me in the Brotherhood on multiple occasions. Even before he was a leader and outside of that, Armad approached Summit to offer his assistance. This is exemplified in his offers to tally Runon statistics and put them in an excel spreadsheet for the Summit. Those sheets helped immensely, and were a tedious task that saved us the time and effort. Armad earned a Dark Cross for these efforts. In addition, he has earned a Scroll of Foundation for discovering and correcting errors in a Shadow Academy exam.

As a leader and strongly active member, I find Armad worthy of promotion. Congratulations, Armad!

Since his last promotion, 10 months ago, Armad has spent 21 days as the Battle Team Sergeant and 3 months as a Battle Team Leader. He has organized 3 competitions, co-organized 4, and participated a mind boggling 63 competitions! In those 63 competitions he earned 1 Crescent with Topaz Star, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 7 Crescent with Sapphire Star, 2 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, and 1 Crescent with Diamond Star. He's also earned 120 Cluster of Earth, 14 Cluster of Ice, and 110 Cluster of Fire. Not to mention a Scroll of the Master and A Scroll of Foundation. He's passed 9 Shadow Academy Courses. He has also received, a Dark Cross, an Anteian Cross, and a Steel Cross. This is a ton of activity during a 10 month period and I glad me add my voice to recommendation for his promotion to the Equite ranks.

Lak Nafri, 2015-08-03 06:58:04 UTC

Atty is a leader. Bottom line. Atty came to our club and her ability to manage the unique and interesting personalities of Arcona was put on display from day one. Her leadership capabilities were on display as she rose through the ranks and now as the Consul, those attributes are even more evident.

Arcona is a monster. A monster of activity, a monster of personalities, and a monster that waivers on the edge of Dark Jedi Brotherhood Glory and Dark Jedi Brotherhood insanity. To manage this beast, you must be a instigator, parental figure, disciplinarian, and cheerleader. Atty is all of those things an a million other things, and her ability to be everything at once is what keeps Arcona performing as our best/most active Clan.

I've known Atty since she was a wee thing and quite frankly I see her taking her eventual place on the Dark Council and potentially more in the future. A promotion to EQ3 is not only appropriate, it is well deserved. Congratulations. I look forward to seeing what you can bring to our club in the future.

Over the last year, Atyiru has been an excellent leader and member, both at the Aedile level, and more recently, as Consul. Atyiru leads by example, earning nearly 100 CIs since her last promotion. She participated in nearly every GJW event, with 10/11 participations, and has participated in 14 other competitions in the last few months. Her exemplary time as an Aedile, and as a member, earned her a Steel Cross.

But where Atyiru really shines is as a leader. Here, she has continued Arcona’s history of strong leadership, running 25 competitions as Aedile or Consul. As leader of the largest Dark path unit in the Brotherhood, she has to deal with all manner of members, and she does so with respect and grace. She ran a major co-op competition with Odan-Urr, where she was one of the main architects of the competitions and the storyline. As Alora describes below, Atyiru planned the majority of competitions within Tides of Change, including planning out the grading system. Her feedback in the event gradings went above and beyond, providing unique written feedback to each entrant.

Beyond just those accolades that are clearly hers, Arcona itself is among our strongest Clans, and Atty deserves the credit for this, as well. Arcona has had the most CIs and CFs in the DGM’s recent activity survey - unsurprising, given her own incredible amount of CIs earned. Her clan has followed her lead, and has run the most competitions of any of the clans over the last few months. Finally, Arcona maintains exemplary performance, with over 400 competition participations, and is in the top three in participation ratios. All of these point to one undeniable fact: Atyiru continues to lead a strong Arcona into the future.

Though it has been only five months since she ascended to Consul, Atyiru has been a valuable contributor to every major Dark Summit discussion and has been a great leader within her unit. Atyiru has proven herself an excellent member, a good leader, and surely deserving of a promotion to Equite 3 and Krath Epis. Congratulations, Atty!

Over the last year, Tharess has been working diligently between real life commitments to achieve the rank of Jedi Hunter. Over this time, he has competed in 21 competitions, earning Crescents in 3 of them. He has completed an impressive 15 courses in the Shadow Academy, earning himself a Dark Maven of Philosophy and Lore, completing 2 of the leadership exams as well as earning himself rank 3 in the Shadow Academy Society. Tharess has been a pleasure to talk to and has been very active with his Battle team leader in achieving his goals in the DJB. It is my pleasure to recommend him for promotion to Jedi Hunter! Congratulations Tharess!
