From the beginning of his Dark Council career, Fremoc has had to take on some pretty overwhelming odds. He was helping to revive a society that many of the older members had long known and treasured, he was a fresh leader who had not held a clan-level position, and he was left to learn the ropes on his own. Since becoming the Fist of the Brotherhood, I have seen Fremoc dare to challenge authorities who had been long established and individuals who had accomplished a lot before his time. He is firm in his dedication to the Grand Master's Royal Guard and its development and to the improvement of the club in its entirety. When it comes to the elevation into the Elders, I feel that a member must be a keystone to the development of the club, if not a clan at the very minimum. Fremoc is a crucial member among the Sons of Sadow, as well as a major asset among those on the Dark Council.
It is with great honor that I recommend Fremoc Pepoi the rank of Dark Side Adept and all the privelage awarded to his elevation. Congratulations, "Bishop" and welcome to the Elders!

I don't think we've given Fremoc enough credit in the past. If you look at who is active now. We were all either directly or indirectly recruited by him. I'm almost the exception, since Taig recruited me, but I would have never applied for PCON or CON without Fremoc's support. I just wanted to say that. The guy's a total jackass and I'd say it to him but I don't want to look like a suckup.

I have watched Fremoc grow as a leader. Not just as the Grand Master's Fist but as a valuable member of the DC. He continually provides support to the clans and houses, mentors and advises members and keeps the gaming alive. I am proud of the work he has done for us and for all the time spent in tireless service to the DB.
-Ashia Keibatsu, Consul Emeritus
One of my first interactions with Fremoc as a Deputy Grand Master was his emailing me to ask what more he could be doing. When someone who is already doing everything this man does for us comes to you and asks what more could we ask of him, well, it's humbling. Gaming is probably the one area of the club I participate in the least. I only get so much time and I have to make sacrifices somewhere. But when I do make it to Fremoc's corner of the club, I am always impressed by the completeness and breadth of his work. If you can get someone like myself to actually want to be part of the GMRG, you must be doing something right.
Thank you, Fremoc, for everything you do for us. And thank you for the refreshing attitude you bring to the equation of always wanting to do more.
-Raken, Shadow Hand
Obelisk Primarch Fremoc Pepoi has established himself as one of the most active Dark Council members in the history of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He has taken the realm of gaming and thoroughly refined and revamped all aspects resulting in massive improvements for our club. Fremoc has meticulously studied new games across a plethora of platforms and provided the Dark Brotherhood with ever increasing forms of activity. Additionally, he has revamped the Cluster of Fire process ensuring equality and fairness in the awarding of the medal across multiple games and platforms. Fremoc has also taken on the burden of serving not only as the Fist and Commander of the Guard, but also as the Dark Brotherhood's TOR guild leader. The position of MMO guild leader is often more than one individual can handle, but Fremoc has conducted it while serving on the DC, a feat truly amazing. It is my honor to recommend Fremoc for the rank of Dark Adept. Welcome to the big time.
-GM Pravus, Voice
Let me first start off by saying it is my great honor and privilege to write this recommendation. For the person I am writing this for is more then deserving. I have yet to see a more dedicated, more hard working and consistent DB member. Fremoc quite literally dedicates several hours of every single day to his position and to the club. In the past year he has literally only taken 9 days of "off" time. He is FIST all day every day. Juggling 20 things at a time and adding more to the plate by the minute.
In the past year alone he as completed an incredible number of things. In fact, too many to list. Just to name a few Fremoc created the ToR guild and has maintained it since before launch. Not an easy task to say the least. It requires daily attention. The guild has been revamped and fine tuned numerous times over the last year. We are still over 300 strong, running several raid groups and maintaining a steady group of dedicated players. I have worked with him to create a detailed management structure to ensure the guilds continued success. The ToR guild is like a newborn baby. Needing constant care. Fremoc does it very well.
Outside of the ToR guild he is responsible for maintaining the Rites of Combat which have undergone numerous revisions. The RoC is an ongoing project. To which several of his Magistrates have been assigned. Which brings me to his staff. Fremoc tends to have 3-4 Magistrates working on projects at all times. Takes quite a bit of delegation and management skill to ensure the work is getting done in a timely manner. On top of the magistrates and his praetor he also has a few dedicated members working on side projects and beta testing games.
The position of FIST is intense and extremely time consuming. Fremoc is by far the most organized person I know. His calendar and his email are insane. He is on top of it at all times. He literally eats, sleeps, breaths DB. He takes any task no matter how great or small head on. Fremoc's ambition is limitless. There is not a day that goes by that he isn't consulting me about an idea he has for the club. On top of his regular time consuming duties he creates side projects for himself to try out new and exciting things for the club.
In my limited experience in the DB I have found it rare to see someone consistently dedicated. Fremoc is. His desire to better the club and help it grow is inspiring. He has single handedly paid for several of the servers such as JA/JO/Teamspeak out of his own pocket for several years now so that we can all enjoy gaming in the club. And he does so without being asked and without expecting even so much as a thank you.
I could go on for days singing his praises. He has done so much for this club and continues to do so. He is what our Elders should be. Fremoc has been an inspiration to me and several others. Fremoc I wish you knew how very much you are appreciated. Your hard work, dedication and consistency are unprecedented. You always say I am your right hand and I am honored to be by your side wearing elephant shoes with you :P I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you in this club. Don't stop doing what you are doing. Your mark on the club has truly made a difference.
Congratulations Fremoc. I am so proud of all that you have accomplished and will accomplish in the future.
-Kalia, Praetor to the Master At Arms
My determination on whether or not a member is an Elder is remarkably simple and complex at the same time. Is the person an Elder? Are they well respected by the membership? Would the Club be worse off without their influence? Can we see directly the results of their work on a high level? Are they a leader? Can they get projects done without having to be told that they need doing?
Over the past few months, I have been watching Fremoc, keeping my eye on him to see how he handles things, how he handles adversity, how he handles stress, how he handles all of the little detritus that the world throws at any person who cares enough to put himself out there in front. It's a tough gig, and all too often, people capitulate under the weight of it.
Fremoc has not.
It is not about making mistakes. We all make mistakes. It is in how one recovers from them. Fremoc has used his mistakes to make himself better, to make his staff better, to refine the brotherhood in those spheres that he can influence. He refuses to let those who only see the negatives drag him down, and has kept his activity level painfully high. He soldiers on, working harder than anyone I have seen in his role.
Fremoc is not a follower. He is a leader.
And that makes him an elder.
