<I>Acolyte Sayar stood quietly on the stage in the meeting hall of House Qel-Droma, in front of the entirety of its membership, along with the friends and allies he had made throughout the Clan. His Rollmaster, Timeros rose from his seat on the stage and the soft conversations diminished to silence.<br><br> "Acolyte, you have proven yourself yet again and have come to this place to be recognized in front of your brethren. Is this correct?"<BR><BR> "Yes, Master," the Acolyte said and bowed. <BR><BR> "Then kneel," the Rollmaster ordered as the Acolyte acknowledged the command and took a knee before him. <BR><BR> “Today, the Summit recognizes Acolyte Sayar and has, by consensus, willed that he be recognized as a Protector.“ The Rollmaster lifted his hand and drew energy from the room around him and formed a shadow that seemed to ooze its way over the Acolyte, covering him in darkness. <BR><BR> "Light is limited," spoke the Rollmaster. <br><br> "Darkness is infinite," said the Acolyte. <BR><BR> "Then as such, Protector Sayar, rise and accept your new station within your Clan."<BR><BR> The applause was thunderous as the newly elevated Protector rose and faced his brethren. He raised his arm and shouted, <BR><BR> "ARCONA INVICTA!" <BR><BR></I> I hereby request a promotion for Acolyte Sayar, who has fulfilled all requirements for promotion under the Dark Jedi Brotherhood's promotions guidelines, as follows:<BR><BR He has completed and had approved a valid character history.

Dirk has completed the requirements outlined on the Wikipedia for promotion to Jedi Hunter. He has participated in 10 competitions, Successfully passed Leadership Fundamentals, submitted to me over 5 pages of fiction, exhibiting a desire to go above and beyond what is asked for. He has also completed 2 ACC battles, earned a Dark Cross in offering assistance to the lower ranked Journeymen in their endeavor to get promoted themselves, and ran a competition as well. The requirements ask for 5 things, he's done 6. He's waited his time patiently, and also logged onto his House channel, as well as registering in the forums, where he's participated in the Unrest runon, earning some clusters of ice as well. I consider it an honor to have him as an apprentice, and submit this recommendation with pride. -DJK Mirado Pepoi L'eonheart

Dirk has been an excellent addition to the ranks among Naga Sadow. He is eager to move ahead. He has been an excellent person to work with. He is more then ready for this elevation to Jedi Hunter. Congrats Dirk! -Templar Teu Pepoi HNS Rollmaster

Dirk has been an outstanding member of Naga Sadow and has worked hard to make himself known without our busy House. As started before, Dirk has created a competition titled "Genetic Destruction", participated in over ten competitions including the current Tri-Feud between NS/Tar/Tal, submitted over 5 pages of fiction to his Master and summit detailing Master/Student trials, completed 2 ACC battles, earned a Dark Cross for his assistance with our Journeymen and earned himself a total of 2 Clusters of Ice for participation in our ongoing developmental Run-on. It is my belief, along with that of his Master's and our Rollmaster, that Dirk has displayed the drive to be awarded the rank of Jedi Hunter and the privileges it entails. Congratulations Dirk. - Templar Methyas Pepoi L'eonheart Aedile of House Naga Sadow

Robicus passed the Hand to Hand combat exam within the Shadow Academy, therefore they have shown the needed activity for the promotion to Novice. Nice work! In Darkness SW Cassandra El'sin

At the start of November ’10, I named Wuntila as my new Aedile and ever since he has shown me time and again that the choice I made could not have been better. He is as dedicated, hard-working and creative a summit member as I have had the privilege to work with, and each day that goes with him on the summit sees him progress and Arcona progress. However, his hard work for Arcona has not been limited merely to the last few months where he has held a summit position. Indeed, even before when he was a member of a Battleteam, Wun was working to help improve Arcona with his work on the restructuring of the military to try and make it work better, as well as countless wiki updates and tweaks to make sure that we are kept up to date.

Moving away from constant praise for a moment, I’ll show a list of activity that Wuntila has completed since his last promotion just to illustrate that it’s not just empty praise being sprouted here:

Acquired a Dark Maven Philosophy

Acquired a Dark Savant in Writing and Philosophy

3 x Seals of Defiance

1x Gold Nova

Participation in the Vendetta: Disorder events:

Identity Scan: Week 1

Battleplan (Gold Nova received)

Long Fiction (5th Place)

Run-On event initiated but called off due to unfortunate RL events to do with my partner Kano Pepoi

Actively ran 6 competitions over the past month for the House

Published two reports as AED of Arcona and 6 regular reports as AED of Galeres

Acted as AED of House Galeres until the Clan reform

Currently acting AED of House Arcona since Nov 8th

Regular IRC presence

Constant point of contact for members

Helped shape the house through numerous projects, such as:

The planning, construction, implementation and authoring of the Arcona Military reforms. Constructing, editing and developing wiki pages, NPCs and plots to coincide with the Arcona Military regime, essentially adding another level of fictional development and depth to character creation. This project was instigated as a marriage between the proposal listed below and the work of Driftan Housan and Talos Omerta and their Shadesworn project. Both the Shadesworn project and the Military proposal were merged and heavily edited to create the final product. Led a small editing team to completely finalize the project.

Prior to my promotion to AED and subsequently the Arcona Military reform that took place, I wrote a Military readjustment proposal for Driftan, the then AED, in order to rearrange the ground/air forces of the Arconan Order of Battle and to introduce a ranking system culminating in a seven page report on the construction of the military assets, the Battleteams and the proposed ranking system.

Authored and implemented the communication breakdown run-on, developed to continue the Estle-Eden Axis and to provide another activity for members to engage in and hopefully adding a new, rich and vibrant dimension to the Arconan historical repertoire.

Instigated the BattleTeam Allocation project, wherein individuals were able to e-mail their preferred battleteam to battleteamallocation@gmail.com in order to choose their particular preference of BT.

Created the BTL report system, wherein BTLs are meant to report back to the summit with regard to any problems they have, anything they require in terms of changes to the administration of the BT or general progress.

On the editing team for the Operation: Plain Sight clan feud, brainstorming ideas and constructing the final storyline which was followed by both members of Arcona and Tarentum.

Standard wiki edits that took up a significant amount of time due to the scale of the task. Although not yet complete, a large proportion of the edits have been achieved by myself.

Full participation in the ACC 2v2 ladder and, although being knocked out in the first round, drew a very close match against Xen’Mordin and Raiju Kang with partner Driftan Housan.

Recommended numerous Medals for the work Arconans have completed over my tenure as AED and recommending those who were not previously awarded.

Wrote Marick Del`Abbot’s Obelisk Prelate recommendation.

Filled in for Zandro where and when I can, due to his Real-Life restraints.

Standard administration tasks associated with my position.

As you can see, Wuntila hasn’t been resting on his laurels and doing the bare minimum in order to get by, but he is pushing himself each and every day to go beyond the call of duty and ensure that both Arcona and himself are improving. However, it is some of the activity that is harder to see which I wish to also highlight, namely the way in which Wuntila works as an Aedile in the house. He is seen by all as a caring and intelligent leader, never flying off the handle and always being sure to mediate things where necessary. He works tirelessly with the rest of the summit to provide new and interesting ways for the membership to get involved in Arcona and is always releasing competitions to allow them to do things. The members love him and he shows all the signs of being a brilliant member and leader in the Brotherhood for the foreseeable future. He has more than earned this promotion and I for one and very thankful for all of the effort which Wuntila puts in each and every day.

Wun, you’re a star and you deserve this, many congrats!
