Award: Amethyst Kukri
Quantity: 1
Requested by: Syn Kaek
Primary reason: Recommended on behalf of Dark Side Adept Dalthid: Just recently, the Antei Combat Centre suffered a tremendous blow to its staff. Although all staff members within the ACC do put their all into their work, there are some who go that extra distance, and truly shine. Without a doubt, Vessicant is just such a person. For his entire time on the staff - roughly a year and a half - Vessicant was a Trainer, a thankless job where one is tasked with critiquing the works of others, telling them why spelling is important, why they can't block a lightsaber with a piece of metal or why a Novice may have a difficult time throwing an Equite around. Being one of the longer-running staff members, Vessicant has had to deal with such battles countless times, the numbers truly staggering if one were to count every qualification and training battle he had done. However, not only was his workload tremendously high, his quality of work was, by far, the "best" of all trainers. The depth in which he makes his comments are astounding, and are, by far, the most detailed that have graced the ACC site. Checking ANY of his training battles will show you the truth of these comments. In addition, he has developed a 'Trainer's Guide', specifically written for staff members, that covers everything from the basics of how to approach a battle to how to deal with the normal frustrations of the position. This addition to the staff's handbook will be a great help to those going through the same scenarios and merely solidifies his mentoring attitude and his desire to see the staff prosper and improve. The Amethyst Kukri is awarded for: "Exceptional services in the form of single projects or long-term leadership..."; "Bearers of this award have shown dedication and focus on furthering one aspect of the Brotherhood far beyond the norm." If SWL Vessicant is not worthy of this award, I don't know who is. He was indispensable for the duration of his stay, a key player to allowing a manageable workload for the entirety of the staff-taking on an average, twice as many trainees than anyone else over the course of his time, a template for how in depth comments to combatants should be with a clear understanding that trainers are the 'gateway' to the ACC proper and a good friend of the staff, in general. He was conscious of how his singular efforts effected the staff and the membership and strived to keep his position free of malice and untainted by bias - he was, and is, an exemplary professional. This award is a small token of appreciation for all of his hard work and effort. He will truly be missed, and it is hoped he will one day return to continue his great work. Until then, thank you for everything you've done, Vessicant. It was a great honor to have worked along side you all this time. ///signed/// DJM Halcyon Rokir Arconae DA Dalthid

Old Rank: Battlelord (Equite 3)
New Rank: Warlord (Equite 4)
Requested by: Vessicant
Primary reason: I am honored to request the promotion of SBL Vessicant. Vessicant has earned the right to enter the final tier of the Equite class through his hard work and dedication. His understanding of the Dark Side and the Force has matured to the level where he understands that his Clan and Order are larger than his personal desires.

Over the past one year and eleven months Vessicant has contributed to the development of the Dark Brotherhood, Clan Plagueis, and House Exar Kun. His work as an ACC trainer has been nothing short of spectacular. He has trained 91 members in ACC matches at the Proving and Training Grounds. His thought out guidance and instruction of ACC combatants has improved the standard of incoming initiates and has improved the overall ACC. In addition to the training of new members in the ACC, Vessicant also created an ACC Trainer guide that is now being finalized by the Combat Master. This guide will show future ACC trainers how to properly train and guide new members of the ACC.

Vessicant has also served his Clan and House over the past year. He served as QUA of Kirleta for four months. During this time he improved the activity and morale of his House by creating an ACC guide for the House, training Envoys, and creating the configuration of the House Fighter Wing.

While Vessicant has dedicated the majority of his time over the past year and eleven months to improving other members experiences in the DB through the ACC, he has also found the time to stay active on a personal level. He has fought in the various ACC forums 41 times, earned 13 CFs, competed in the GJW (earned a DC and Bronze Novae), competed in the Independence Games, Competed in Multiple Clan competitions, and competed in multiple House competitions.

Vessicant has served well beyond the capacity of a SBL and is ready to become a Sith Warlord. His contributions to the Dark Brotherhood, ACC, and Clan Plagueis have truly placed him as an elite within our organization.

The Combat Master Adds:

I have always held to the adage that being a Trainer in the ACC is not an easy task. Writing with and trying to help someone who may not know how the ACC works can be trying on patience and even level of desire. Perhaps the most stable core staff in the ACCs history, a lot would be lost without Vessicant. He undertakes more battles, both training and qualification, on a consistent basis than anyone else and he is always striving to improve each combatant. Rarely, if ever, have I seen him give up the instant it became difficult or frustrating, but thats just his nature. I have had the pleasure of having Vessicant by my side (or at my throat :P) in every position Ive held in the DB. First in CSK, where he was quick to help in areas where Sith knowledge was needed, taking the pressure off the creation of the Clans order of battle that went long untouched till we tackled it. My year as PCON in the Clan would have been utterly unproductive without Vessicant who always jumped in first when something needed his expertise. Second, as time passed, I was lucky to be able to call on him even though our paths had split from the same Clan and led me to the ACC. Because of our history; he was one of the first hires I made upon my appointment as CM, and it was one of the smartest moves I have ever made. So many people are willing to just go with the flow, but Vessicants desire to be better than that make him one of the best Trainers on the staff. Its been a year now and in that year Vessicant has earned himself a Sapphire Blade and a Steel Cross as well as the title of Champion in the ACC. Within his SB-SC time frame (approx.6-7 months ago to present) his contribution of trained and qualified Initiates has easily gone into the hundreds, still maintaining his hardest working trainer epithet. His commenting is thorough and his instruction is sound, so much more than just spouting out jargon, he has an honest caring for the Initiates. In addition, his contributions to the ACC Compendium are priceless as well. When it comes to specifics Vessicant has a very keen eye, which seems to be able to pinpoint the slightest inconsistencies. He has been helpful, in that regard, because it ensures that the Compendium just keeps moving forward to a complete and virtually perfect set of documents. Currently, he is spearheading a Trainers Guide to insert into the ACC Staff Handbook. It covers everything from the basics of administration (from a Trainers point of view) to how to actually explain the ACCs judging criteria to, even, how to deal with Initiates who are not primarily English speaking (which, in itself, is an invaluable piece of guidance). Coupled with my views concerning the ACC staff and their work, is my vision of the ACC as a whole. I have stated, time and again, that this is an extremely unique situation to be in as a staff member. I can think of no other platform in the DB that expressly requires dissolving Clan and Order affiliation in performance of its duties (that involve Clan and Order members directly), while attempting to maintain Clan and Order affiliation as part of those bodies as well. Very often, staff members will see their Clan activity dwindle because of their dedication to the ACC (and, by default, the Brotherhood as a whole) and are often docked for that when the idea of promotion rolls around. In my opinion, this promotion has been a long time coming for Vessicant, too long if my vision of the Centre were shared by others. He has repeatedly and consistently proven his dedication to the club through this medium, and Im hoping, when combined with his Clan recommendations and (perhaps) others, the big picture of his work ethic and determination will be realized. It is in that wise that I whole heartedly recommend SBL Vessicant be elevated to the rank of Sith Warlord (SWL). ~DA Dalthid, Combat Master 20060303

Award: Steel Cross
Quantity: 1
Requested by: Dalthid
Primary reason: The days of the ACC rush are gone and the numbers have dwindled to a dull roar. In these times, when numbers dont seem as impressive, we are forced to try and relay the aspects of ACC positions in ways that will make individuals worthy of awards. All of what we do is behind the scenes; judging, training, opening battles, working on ACC improvements etc. and dont really lend themselves to much in the way of outward and obvious displays of accomplishment. Suffice it to say, Initiates are still trained, battles are still judged, qualifications are still on-going and facets of the ACC are always being improved and that is the daily grind of the ACC. With that, the most obvious trait that is possessed by a staff member is extended service as the Steel Cross describes. Due to influences beyond the ACC, some staff members arent rockets of activity when it comes to the extracurricular. They are merely content with doing their job. I am utterly thankful for those who stay straight, press on and make themselves the work-horses and grunts of the ACC. They lend their time when they can, and do well with what they take on, but often I know theyll be there just to do the daily work. I can count on them, and that is a great accomplishment. For his extended service to the ACC, I recommend SBL Vessicant for the Steel Cross.

13 Feb, 2006 1 Steel Cross Awarded Event ID 18629 Award Steel Cross Quantity 1 Requested by Dalthid Primary reason The days of the ACC rush are gone and the numbers have dwindled to a dull roar. In these times, when numbers dont seem as impressive, we are forced to try and relay the aspects of ACC positions in ways that will make individuals worthy of awards. All of what we do is behind the scenes; judging, training, opening battles, working on ACC improvements etc. and dont really lend themselves to much in the way of outward and obvious displays of accomplishment. Suffice it to say, Initiates are still trained, battles are still judged, qualifications are still on-going and facets of the ACC are always being improved and that is the daily grind of the ACC. With that, the most obvious trait that is possessed by a staff member is extended service as the Steel Cross describes. Due to influences beyond the ACC, some staff members arent rockets of activity when it comes to the extracurricular. They are merely content with doing their job. I am utterly thankful for those who stay straight, press on and make themselves the work-horses and grunts of the ACC. They lend their time when they can, and do well with what they take on, but often I know theyll be there just to do the daily work. I can count on them, and that is a great accomplishment. For his extended service to the ACC, I recommend SBL Vessicant for the Steel Cross. Dalthid, 2006-02-13 23:00:00 UTC
