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.

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!

Consul of Naga Sadow

Epis Locke Sonjie, 2015-08-01 14:50:37 UTC

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!

Jai'de Serpens, 2015-08-02 19:25:37 UTC

The time has come to recognize a powerhouse of activity, work ethic, friendliness, and commitment to this club. Some 15 months ago, Landon Cruise arrived in the Brotherhood, and today, we acknowledge his accomplishments. Just in the last 6 months since reaching DJK, he has done more than many accomplish in their entire DJB career.

As a member, Cruise is the definition of activity. Since DJK, he has participated in a whooping 119 competitions, including several fictions, which he is quite open about not liking. He participates however, because he loves this club, and because he is the prime example to all members of pushing your boundaries to succeed. These competitions have earned him 1 Diamond Star, 4 Ruby Stars, 2 Amethyst Stars, 17 Sapphire Stars, 2 Emerald Stars, and a Topaz Star. These competitions range from one offs, to all 12 of the competitions ran in the recent CNS/CSP co-op event, Red Fury. If there is something out there to be participated in, Cruise will find it, do it, then encourage everyone else to do the same.

His other activities include being a heavy gamer, and being responsible for the addition of Star Conflict as a successful gaming platform. He has some 168 PvP matches and 65 PvE matches over the last few months, earning 581 CFs and 175 CEs. He sits comfortably at GMRG Rank X. His gaming efforts have paid off too, with some 15 organized gaming competitions run, alongside recruiting some great members for the club. He has also been responsible for 3 members so far reaching DJK.

But beyond his heavy levels of activity, constant IRC and Telegram presence, and general kickassness, he is also looking to better CSP and the DJB as a whole. He has served as M:MAA since early March, learning the workings of the medal and promotion systems we have. He has been a Docent in the SA since early June. And most recently he has stepped up as CSP’s Rollmaster when we were in desperate need of one. He constantly went out of his way to greet members of the club, help them with questions, and find them activities to participate in, so it only made sense to put him in with an official capacity.

Cruise is one hell of a guy, and CSP is far far better off for having him around. Thanks for everything Cruise, and Congratulations on EQ1! Drinks are on you!

Lord Idris Adenn, 2015-08-02 04:15:23 UTC

Landon Cruise has been a Magistrate to the MAA office since March and has performed exceptionally throughout that time. He was immediately eager to catch up on MAA discussions, learn how the database and manual administration works, and pay attention to our we apply our standards to requests on a day to day basis. He listened, learned, and picked up on things quick. Now he is an active participant in discussions, quick on the draw when requests come in, and always eager to help out as needed. All while maintaining stellar activity in his clan and house. Landon remains what I want our of a Magistrate: an ambitious member with clear leadership potential who now has a greater understanding of the MAA/DJB administration side of things. This promotion shows recognition and takes him one step closer to his future. Thank you for your assistance, Landon.

Zanet Xox, 2015-08-02 04:13:47 UTC

Cruise is someone who is passionate about building a great community, not just within Clan Scholae Palatiane, but across the entire Dark Jedi Brotherhood. I'm not goign to go into a long list of all that he has accomplished since Dark Jedi Knight, but there are a few things that come to mind myself from my time as Proconsul without looking up specific numbers. He has mentored multiple members to Knighthood themselves. He has taken considerably to gaming, helping get activity within and encouraging Star Conflict, where I've done more flying and piloting recently on that platform than since I got rid of my joystick and called it quits for XWA. Yet he steps up, rallies others to participate, and makes sure to maximize participation in events that he knows he isn't strong in but seeks to better himself. He has earned this promotion to Equite 1, congratulations my friend!

Lord Evio Nezsa, 2015-08-02 04:14:07 UTC

Landon Cruise is a member who helped me return to the DJB and find my "fun" again. While I may not be the most active, it is his positive influence that has kept me around much longer and many others. I think I speak for many when I say he truly cares about his Clan. Landon is the kind of member I see embracing CSP for life. He will not venture to other Clans for leadership as he knows his brothers and sisters all exist here. That is something I wasn't able to do in my 15 years here, but I highly respect his ability to stay with his Clan.

Looking over his dossier he has completed more than most at his current grade. I glimpsed at his prestige and saw it was almost 4 times my own and over 300 points higher than anyone else at his current rank and well over most Equites. This on top of everything he has done for his Clan shows me he is more than ready for the next step in promotion. Congrats little brother. You blew this one out of the water. Keep doing all that you do for our Clan!

Jacob Van Nowak, 2015-08-02 04:14:29 UTC

Landon Cruise is a unique and one of a kind member that the clan of Scholae is fortunate enough to have. He has taken on various roles and activity that only a select few are able to take on within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He is a force to be reckoned with in the GMRG. With a rank of X, he battles frequently with his fellow members for the few spots that change throughout the year of the final ranks. He hosts friendly competitions for Star Conflict, a fairly recent game that has spiked in activity thanks to his effort. He is also very active in the MAA office as Magistrate, hosting competitions as well as daily operations that the magistrate conducts.

He also has taken on the shadow academy to achieve three maven degrees and a savant degree. This has brought him to the rank of XII as a graduate in the academy. Landon did not stop there and decided to give back by becoming a docent in the academy. He has also progressed at the clan level to a point where many to do not even venture. He has taken on the role of Rollmaster recently and took it in full stride using recruiting methods that have brought the clan new recruits. He has also reached out to rogues to bring them back into the ranks with his overall progress as a roll master being spectacular considering the scale of growth the clan has recently seen. He has also shared his wisdom with our journeyman. He is a great mentor by throwing himself forward and helping people when necessary. Landon has taken on five apprentices so far with three that went on to knighthood with two in the progress. His drive has encouraged his students and others to achieve more. His work for the clan and the entire brotherhood merits a well-deserved promotion. He is member that are few to come by and we would be at a lost if he was not here. I recommend that Landon Cruise be promoted to the well-deserved ranks of Equites. Congratulations Landon you have earned it! Drinks on you!

Lucyeth, 2015-08-02 04:15:01 UTC

When I brought Cruise in from the Tie Corps he was just getting back into the DJB and we were still a house. As we all know Cruise is an excellent dark Jedi and someone I consider as a friend. This guy is such a good recruiter for us that he could recruit a cat into water for a bath :p Cruise its good to see you get the recognition you deserve good on ya mate.

Tribune Kanal O'neill, 2015-08-02 04:15:15 UTC

It's my true pleasure to recommend Ingram Thorpe for promotion to the rank of Guardian. Ingram has, despite his studies and job, spent considerable time with the clan both on Telegram and on Google Hangouts and shows excellent presence on the clan mailing list. Not being familiar with the way we do things, he has adapted quickly and made our ways his own. In addition he strives for a level of perfection in his work that not many can mimic.

In his 23 days as Protector, he has been playing games with us on the DJB Voice Server, he's participated in 3 competitions, reached the second rank in the Shadow Academy and has worked towards completing his character's history. In addition to this he has submitted his character sheet and has qualified in the ACC.

All in all, I am proud to be able to advance this newest addition to our Clan to the rank of Guardian. Congratulations and keep it going Ingram!
