The time has come for Thorzan Dane Beviin to be promoted to the rank of Guardian, as he has achieved all that is required for this promotion.

First of all, he has proven to be active when it comes to competitions, having taken part in no fewer than eight since joining the Brotherhood. This excellent activity has also carried over to gaming, where he has obtained thirty Clusters of Fire, and to the Shadow Academy, where he has passed his order's core exam (as well as two other order cores), and been granted the second rank within the Shadow Academy Society.

He has also shown an interest in character development, obtaining an improved character sheet as well as working on his character's backstory for his Wiki article.

Finally, he has both visited IRC, where he is often among those conversing, and has been a Protector for the requisite 14 days.

Congratulations, Guardian

A lot of things could probably be said about Roxas, but the first words that pop into my mind are “devoted” and “committed”. Those two words are the ones I think best describes how Roxas is to Clan Naga Sadow.

In the two years that have passed since he was promoted to Obelisk Templar he has served as a battleteam leader for four months and he has earned several Crescents and seals. He has also earned over a dozen Clusters of Ice showing his high activity in run ons. Not to mention earning a couple of Novae in the Crusade.

He has also earned four Dark Crosses, three Anteian Crosses and a Steel Cross for all the work he does for the betterment of Clan Naga Sadow.He even earned one of the elusive Dark Side Scrolls for having his characters wiki article selected as the featured article in September 2012.

Roxas is one of those people you know will always be ready to jump in if a new run on starts or when when you need some wiki work done.

For being one of the most devoted, loyal members I have I would like to promote Roxas Buurenaar to Obelisk Prelate. Congratulations Roxas!

Master Malik Sadow, 2014-01-20 02:33:03 UTC

I’ll probably be lynched for saying this publicly but... Roxas sort of reminds me of myself when I was his age -- in the Dark Brotherhood, not in real life, I never said I was old! I see the same fire, the same passion, that sometimes used to get me into trouble, but which ultimately led me to where I am today. Whether it’s in his almost endless supply of enthusiasm, or his constant activity, Roxas is one of those people that I wish we had more of.

Looking back at this past year, Roxas has been amassing medals almost every month, winning Crescents and Novas, taking home an assortment of Crosses for his contributions either during Vendettas or else as a Battleteam Leader in engaging with new recruits - even without needing anyone higher up the Summit to have prompted him, he has constantly been getting involved in regular run-ons and storytelling, he is one of the few still on IRC, the list goes on.

This is what a good Equite should do, and is what Roxas has been doing.

I often talk about how if Journeymen and new recruits are the lifeblood of this club, then Equites are its beating heart, because without those enthusiastic members like Roxas to show them, those new members wouldn’t have any reason to get involved. But when I look at things like the run-ons and idle banter that Roxas takes part in, I see an enthusiasm that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood needs to see more of. Nobody is inspired by the crusty old elder, but by the eager, enthusiastic youngster, and that is what I see in Roxas and commend him for.

For this, I extend my support to Roxas’s promotion, and hope that as he climbs the ladder he doesn’t lose any of the thrill and excitement that still rubs off even on an old timer like me.

, 2014-01-20 02:26:31 UTC

Oh, Roxas. Here is a guy who never gives up, no matter how much he gets beat down. It seems as if it could be Roxas against the world and he would keep going… and keep showing us what he can do. Roxas has been active in pretty much every Crusade chapter, despite real life obligations and other stuff going on. He's been a Battleteam Leader and constructed a 'Team from scratch, only to have it suddenly end. Yet he continued on, and he's still here. He's active in Runons and competitions, and keeps playing just for the joy of participating, knowing until recently that there might not be an easy way to move up. But he didn't give up.

Personally, Roxas and I have not always gotten along, but we get over it and talk and I consider him one of my buddies. We might be a little different, and I might think it's weird that he named himself after a Kingdom Hearts character, but I think he's more than deserving of this promotion. It's been a long time coming, through Vendetta, Crusade, two Battleteams, and even a featured wiki article when it was said he'd never do it!

Congratulations, Roxas!

Epis Locke Sonjie, 2014-01-20 02:27:30 UTC

Roxas has been up to much good since he made his debut as an Equite. Very active and an overall a person always working to better themselves and those around him. He's a field general, which prompts people to match the intensity around them. Since becoming an Equite+1 he has been a forever constant in the active department. Contributing to a number of competitions, to long to mention them all. Awarded many Crescent's and earning from a Dark Cross to a Steel Cross in that tenure.

He was a good BTL when he took the mantle of the Darkest Hour, focused on keeping his people busy. Which was the right attitude when it came down to it. Roxas held this position for a number of months all the while participating actively in the Feud. Even after his run as BTL, he was still very much active. Making his presence known in the Dark Crusade, also earning his share of Novae's as well.

I think Roxas has earned his passage rights for darker enlightenment. Congrats Roxas!

Shirai Dupar, 2014-01-20 02:28:34 UTC

I’d like to take a moment to throw my hat in the ring in favor of promotion to Obelisk Prelate CNS’ very own Roxas Buurenaar. His history and performance have been more than sufficient, he’s even got more Anteian and Steel Crosses than I have, and these are service awards, not just handed out for perfect attendance. Indeed, the man lives, eats, and breathes Clan Naga Sadow. Enough so, in fact, that during my first time as Quaestor, I put him in charge of a Battleteam.

Roxas has one other trait though, one that I think carries far less weight than it deserves. Roxas is LOYAL to his clan and clanmates. He greets people as Vod when they enter the clan channel. That carries a lot of weight with me, using the Mando’a term for brother to greet his clan. I think that it’s high time Clan Naga Sadow repaid their hound of war. Please consider Roxas’ promotion to Prelate.

Raziel, 2014-01-20 02:29:18 UTC

You can say a lot about Roxas.. but he is one of the base members around. Whenever there is something to do - wherever people are needed, our Mandalorian warrior Roxas is there. I am a bit jealous for his enthusiasm (which he never seems to run out of). He even held a position as Battle Team Leader.

Looking at his activity list, it proves that he is a continuous pool of activity:
11 Crescents, Lots of Clusters of Ice, 4 Dark Crosses, 1 Silver Nova, 1 Bronze Nova, 1 Steel Cross, 6 Seals of Affliction, 3 Anteian Crosses and 1 Legion of Scholar.

These rewards prove how much he deserves this promotion.

Thank you Obelisk Prelate Roxas Buurenaar, you did an awesome job!

Sildrin Lyonsbane, 2014-01-20 02:30:06 UTC

If you look at Alexander’s record since he was Knighted more than a year and a half ago you will see that he has earned numerous Clusters of Fire, a couple of Novae and three Dark Crosses all of which speaks to his high level of activity.

When Alexander originally transfered to Clan Naga Sadow he was a member of House Marka Ragnos but when the time came that they needed a battleteam leader in House Shar Dakhan Alexander quickly signed up and transfered house to help out as the leader of Tenebrae, a job he held for no less than six months and when we had to close the battleteam for a while he accepted it completely and only asked for the chance to lead it once more when it was reopened. Never once did he complain because he knew that it was what needed to be done at the time, now the battleteam has been reopened, with Alexander in the lead and I expect to see great things from him in the future.

But right now I want to reward him for his commitment to Naga Sadow and I can think of no better way than with a promotion to Sith Warrior. Congratulations Alex!

Master Malik Sadow, 2014-01-20 02:32:50 UTC

For a long time now, Alex and activity have gone hand in hand. Having been a Dark Jedi Knight for well over a year now, there has seldom been a moment when Alex has not been clocking up more medals, winning more events, inspiring more members.

Way back in 2012, Alex was still a part of House Odan-Urr, where his regular tally of Clusters of Fire, of Crescents, and even the occasional Novae, all add up to illustrate his impressive -- and consistently high -- levels of activity, with him having been an active participant not only in the regular monthly events during 2012, but also in the Horizons Vendetta later in the year. Fast forward to his new home in House Marka Ragnos a year ago, and Alex continued to act as an example and a rolemodel to the other members of Clan Naga Sadow, with him taking home many, many more Clusters of Fire, Dark Crosses and other commendations for his efforts throughout the Dark Crusade last year.

But there has been more to Alex than just his own activity, and last summer he also stepped up to the table, joining the Summit to serve as Battleteam Leader in House Shar Dakhan. Even if it was a shame that the Clan was without many new recruits in the form of Journeymen last year, this never diminished Alex’s own dedication, and his tally of awards once again stands as testament to his high levels of activity, which remained an inspiration to others, and earned him not only more Clusters of Fire, but Clusters of Ice, a Nova and two Dark Crosses.

For Alex’s continuing commitment and his overall dedication and passion for not only the Clan but the Dark Brotherhood itself, I extend my support to this elevation and look forward to what the future still has in store for Alexander DelGotto.

, 2014-01-20 02:20:56 UTC

While many of the other recommendations present will paint their own pictures of what Alexander DelGotto is capable of, I feel my recommendation should be something shorter and sweeter, that paints the perfect picture of the kind of Equite that Clan Naga Sadow needs. When I was promoted to Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos, the Clan Summit put out a call for new Battleteam Leaders. Alex was one of the few that put his name down, and when we sorted through those applications, his stood out as one of the best - not only for his eloquence but for his drive and dedication. Despite having only applied for Battleteam Leader of Scepter of Ragnos, we saw a need to have Tenebrae's leadership position filled, in the other House. Despite being part of House Marka Ragnos, Alexander placed the needs of his Clan before the needs of his House, transferred over to House Shar Dakhan, and took up the mantle of Tenebrae's leadership position. Since acquiring it, he has done an excellent job with the battleteam that I founded. For taking care of my battleteam-- selfish of me, perhaps-- and for being an upstanding member of the Brotherhood that is willing to put the needs of the club before his own, I am very proud to write this recommendation for Alex. I could wax on about his participation, his drive, his thirst to continue working and doing more whenever he can. I could do all those things with impunity. However, one thing stands out for me, and that is his humility and his determination to make Clan Naga Sadow a better place for the sake of doing it, not out of personal greed. That is what our Clan needs right now and he does an amazing job of embodying that ideal.

Thank you, Alex. I hope this recommendation serves as an adequate reminder that you now stand tall amongst the ranks of the Equites - the equals. Please accept my gratitude and thanks as you stand proud amongst us. Rise, a Warrior, of Clan and Brotherhood!

Battlelord Mateus Kelborn, 2014-01-20 02:21:39 UTC

Since I became Aedile before Naga Sadows last push in the Final Crusade, I was keeping track of all my members. in his time walking the universe as a DJK Alexander has shown me nothing but determination. Always asking what he can do for the house and the clan. So he did what he could. Which was becoming the Battleteam Leader of Tenebrae. Pushing to be active within the Final Crusade, I saw his determination and the awards would come as followed. Immediately after the Crusade, he was looking to help in whatever endeavor myself and Mirado cooked up. It has also been quite sometime since his last promotion, and I think Alexander's activity and leadership have flourished since then. I believe he is ready to join the Equites.

Shirai Dupar, 2014-01-20 02:22:23 UTC

Alexander is an example of what it means to be a solid member of Clan Naga Sadow. While members who can explode out a mountain of activity are amazing, I think the constant workhorses are the more memorable people. Clusters of Fire roll his way, with Crusade participation to pad that as well. Also, he served for around six months as Battleteam leader. He’s steady, he keeps on keeping on, remaining always active.

What’s most interesting about him, and why I would like to put his name forward to be promoted to Sith Warrior, is the way he handled the business of being a battleteam leader. See, recently, House Shar Dakhan had to close its battleteam. A distinct lack of membership dictated that a battleteam wasn’t feasible, and so, I was forced to lay him off. He took this like a champ, but the important thing was, he refused to just give up on it. He distinctly made it clear to me that when the opportunity presented itself, he wanted to take the reins back. More than anything else, he is a pure professional, the kind I want to always work for me. Because of this, I ask you please see to it that Alexander DelGotto be promoted to Sith Warrior.

Raziel, 2014-01-20 02:23:02 UTC

Sometimes there are members of the Brotherhood who take what is expected of them and shatter it completely. Rhiann is one such member and I am extremely proud to have a Journeyman like her in House Marka Ragnos. Aside from the mandatory time in rank and the completion of her Obelisk Core exam, Rhi's also proven herself to not only be a keen gamer through pazaak by earning over one hundred clusters of fire - and mind you you only need 40 to be considered for promotion - and a rank of III in the new GMRG society. She's written a beautiful fiction clocking in at just over 1500 words detailing a scene in which Rhiann and Vaar play chess. And, of course, she's active in the Brotherhood as a whole, a consistent presence in our IRC and a constant competitor across a wide variety of competitions (six, at current count). It's not often we see someone who gets involved so early in such a deep manner, but those who do tend to be some of the best members we could ever possibly get.

For Naga Sadow to have such a driven and a responsible new member is a privilege for us as Summit, and it is with great pleasure that I recommend Rhiann Baenre for the rank of Guardian immediately. -Vaar Mai, Aedile of House Marka Ragnos

Battlelord Mateus Kelborn, 2014-01-20 00:07:10 UTC
