Of the up and coming generations of recent years, Kano is one of the people who jumped out at me early on as destined to go places. It's always hard to put a finger on it and know quite what it was that makes one think "He's got potential" but Kano has always been someone who I have said "He's got potential". Ever since I first knew him, he has always been active and -- even now -- he still has that youthful enthusiasm that makes one feel nostalgic for back when "I was a boy", as the saying goes. Specifically, Kano is one of those people who simply seems to effortlessly gel with the community as a whole, getting on with other people, leading by example, as his regular activity in events such as the ongoing run-on shows. More recently, his appointment as Battleteam Leader of The Regulators is set to give Kano the opportunity to help shape the future of the House at a time where we battle to regain Clan status, in which we face whatever challenges tomorrow brings. In this current climate, it will be those exemplary members such as Kano that will make all the difference, and for that reason Kano fully deserves whatever commendations we can give him. Congratulations, Kano, we are in your debt. - Lord Xanos Zorrixor, Son of Sadow

Kano is one heckuva member. Since his last elevation on 4/22/2010 he continues to be highly active. He has earned a plethora of honors, including an Anteian Cross, a Dark Cross, 2 Amethyst Crescents, 2 Sapphire Crescents, 4 Emerald Crescent, 1 Topaz Crescent, 2 Quartz Crescent, a Seal of Loyalty, 14 Seals of Defiance, 2 dark Side scrolls, 10 Clusters of Ice, 110 Cluster of Fire, and a Pendant of Blood. Most impressive. I am so very pleased to see his performance in this last vendetta.He participated in 14 events and took home a gold and silver nova. Kano adds might to our gamers, something NS has lacked for a long time. Kano is consistently active, and asks for things to do regularly. As well, he is the BTL of the remaining battleteam in Naga Sadow, the Regulators. He posts regular reports, a vital necessity as a leader. He has run 5 competitions in that time. He also now serves as M:Fist. He has gained entrance to the GMRG. In short, he works hard, leads from the front, and is someone that deserves commendation. ~SWL Macron Sadow, Consul Emeritus, Son of Sadow

Kano Tor Pepoi, he is someone I have known for a while. Always busy with in the house. During the Vendetta he participated in most, if not all, of the events. Recently he has been named the Battleteam Leader for the Regulators and has been busy working on the ground work on that, from the point system to the graphic to everything in between. He was just recently named magistrate to the fist. However positions is one thing, it’s the integrity behind it that makes Kano ready for this promotion. He is almost always working on some project for his battle team. He’s a near constant presence on IRC and willingness to help out on something makes him a vital part of the house. His character development within the run-on makes it a interesting read. I expect to see a lot from Kano. Only time will tell. I fully agree with this recommendation for a Grand Cross Of The Dark Side. Congrats Kano. -Templar Teu Pepoi, House Naga Sadow Rollmaster

The resident Mandalorian. Kano is one of the top notch people we have in this house. And although he left Naga Sadow for a month’s time, I do not think that should be held against him. Since his promotion to Templar in April, Kano has been Battleteam leader to the Night Raptors, Primus Goluud, and now The Regulators. Since his last promotion, he has earned, an Anteian Cross, a Dark Cross, 2 Amethyst Crescents, 2 Sapphire Crescent, 4 Emerald Crescent, 1 Topaz Crescent, 2 Quartz Crescent, a Seal of Loyalty, 14 Seals of Defiance, 2 dark side scrolls, 10 Clusters of Ice, 110 Cluster of Fire, and a Pendant of Blood. Quite the load for a man at the rank of Templar. Since his return has been working non-stop, doing any task asked of him. He was instrumental when I asked the members of #dbgaming in helping me update the GMRG wiki page. He wrote up the history as well as how one can rank up in the GMRG. During the Vendetta he participated in fourteen events, placing 1st in Republic Commando Gaming for week one, and assisted in the Battleplan event that got second. After the vendetta, it was found that some of the battle teams where lacking in their numbers, and it was determined that there would be a downsizing for the teams, making them into one large unit. Kano was chosen to do the job, creating an entirely new team, taking aspects from different kinds of ranking systems, and twisting them for his team to use. He’s planned out nearly every aspect of his team, its base location where members could stay if they choose, their training, the weapons, the logos, and the armor. Most recently he’s been given the position of Magistrate to the Fist, and will begin working for myself and Smoke on various projects. I do believe though, Kano has earned this promotion without a shadow of a doubt, so I hereby recommend Kano Tor Pepoi for the Grand Cross Of The Dark Side. Congrats brother. ~Prelate Fremoc Pepoi, Aedile of Naga Sadow, Praetor to the Fist

Kano has been a power horse, getting involved and really looking for a way to help better improve the activity of the House and the DJB as a whole. He is always up for taking on a leadership spot, and enjoys taking both new members and old members into the realm of Star Wars and the DJB. Recently he even went out, bought and finished the new Force Unleashed game to give a review for everyone in the club. He has been putting out competitions, taking part in competitions, and was a great source of activity in the recent vendetta. With the new order of the House he is taking on the only Battle Team Leader role and has some great ideas in how to get an entirely new team up and running with a new history and activity opportunities. Kanos is doing an amazing job and definitely deserves this Grand Cross Of The Dark Side, congrats on all your hard work Kano!! - KAP Jade Sadow

Kano represents the type of member that any competent leader should, and would, kill for: dedicated, enthusiastic, and loyal. His energy is infectious, and his work ethic is beyond compare: he made a point to participate in nearly every Vendetta event that was offered. It was this drive that led him to be named BTL of the only remaining BT in HNS as of this writing; after all, those who lead from the front should be given the tools and support to do so. Further, Kano’s loyalty is without question, as evidenced by his Seal of Loyalty. Even though he did ‘test the waters’, as it were, by briefly transferring to another House, he remained a stalwart of the Sadowan Way: Respect for oneself and others above all else. I believe that those with whom he crosses paths are left all the better for it, including myself: as an ‘aging’ member of HNS, it does my heart good to know that its direction is and will continue to be shaped by Kano and others like him. Therefore, it is without hesitation that I gladly lend my name to the list of recommendations for Kano Tor Pepoi’s Grand Cross Of The Dark Side. Congratulations! ~ Tsainetomo Keibatsu Sadow, HNS Quaestor and Son of Sadow
