Going through the Promotion Assessment for Kelly Mendes, the first thing that you notice is that she does just about everything that there is for her to be able to do. I'd like to recommend Kelly, for all of her hard work, a Grand Cross. She has worked hard for the last 3 months to earn this award, and the numbers are there to prove it.

Kelly has participated in a total of 46 competitions, 24 of those being from our last event, The Enemy Below. We're thrilled to see another of our Summit members leading the way for the Clan with 100% participation in the event. She placed in a total of 2 of those competitions and earned 6th place overall for the event. Kelly worked hard every day to encourage and support the members, reminding to always "Do all the things", and then living those words herself. For all of her competitions Kelly has earned for herself 12 Clusters of Ice and 8 Clusters of Graphite.

Kelly has continued to be one of Plagueis' main gamers. She has participated in 66 total PVP matches, earning 2 Pendants of Blood, and 243 Clusters of Fire. It's easy to say that she leads the way for our Clan in gaming through every event.

Kelly is also very often found in the ACC, having participated in two matches in the last three months.

All of Kelly's hard work throughout the DJB has earned her many awards, 1 Crescent with Ruby Star, 4 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 2 Crescents with Sapphire Star, and 1 Crescent with Emerald Star. She has also earned 3 Scrolls of Foundation for her service in the Shadow Academy.

Kelly has been a critical part of the Plagueis Summit for the last three months, especially during our recent The Enemy Below event. Kelly is always a vocal and active presence in our Telegram channel, helping both her members and those of House Karness Muur alike when they are in need of assistance. Additionally, she has submitted her monthly reports on time each month, making sure to keep her members informed about the goings on in the Ascendant Clan. During The Enemy Below, our House summits were divided between the two teams, with Kelly working with the Quaestor of HKM to lead her team. During the three week competition, in addition to Telegram interactions with her members, Kelly also sent out 3 team wide email messages (one each week) and 13 total individual emails to engage less active members. Her efforts are a huge part of why her team of 18 members generated 241 total entries from 14 unique participants over the course of the event. Kelly is exactly the type of member we love to have on our Summit, and thank her for her kind example as a leader. Kelly has more than earned the award of Grand Cross, and we are excited to continue to see her work hard as she continues her career as Quaestor.

In all the time I’ve known Kelly Mendes, she has been an active leader and role model. Now, as I write this recommendation, I have continued to be floored by her participation rates, her organizational skills, and her calm and level headed demeanor as she manages her house.

Since her last recognition in February of this year, Kelly has participated in 41 competitions, coorganized 5 competitions, and submitted 4 additional Quaestor reports - always on time on the 10th of each month. In regards to her own activity, she is a consistently present and successful gamer, being the primary reason for Plagueis attaining #1 in gaming participation out of all of the clans during multiple consecutive weeks. Of course, Kelly is not limited to her gaming ability, which admittedly has earned her a whopping 1,441 Clusters of Fire and 13 Pendants of Blood; she has also managed to garner 20 Clusters of Earth, 9 Clusters of Graphite, 4 Clusters of Ice, 2 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, and 6 Crescents with Ruby Stars (the last of which are due to her frequent participation in Brotherhood-wide competitions).

Kelly showed her mettle in the May the 4th! Competition, though where she truly shone was in her organization of the Mysteries of Aliso event within Clan Plagueis. In my recommendation for Furios’ Grand Cross, I claimed he was the godfather of the event; if that is the case, then Kelly can absolutely be considered the architect. She took everyone’s ideas and thoughts and made them all make sense, creating full blown competition templates and guidelines and particularly showing her skills by putting together the original NPC and Aliso Locations competitions that members could contribute their own ideas to. There was little to nothing that Arden and I changed in regards to those specific comps and their rules - that’s how well put together they really were.

While Kelly has proven herself on both the ACC Staff and the Shadow Academy staff, I personally believe that her activity in Plagueis alone warrants an award. Despite being in a vastly different time zone compared to the rest of the clan, Kelly is active in both the Plagueis Telegram channel and the DB Fiction channel. She steps in to help as a mentor, and she provides wry humor, silliness, and perspective to the culture of her clan. She holds high expectations for the members of her house Ajunta Pall, though she always encourages them rather than simply pressuring them, reminding them that she is there to help. She is a true example of a leader that all of us can look up to.

It is for this reason, and all others stated above, that I wholeheartedly recommend that Kelly be awarded a Grand Cross of the Dark Side for her work. Thank you, Kelly, for being one of the best.

It feels like only yesterday that I was singing Scudi’s praises in a recommendation, but she keeps constantly putting out the effort. There hasn’t been an event in Plagueis where Scudi hasn’t been a major contributor. Scudi has participated in a total of 76 events since her last recognition, including 23 events during the Operation: Antiquity event and another 13 in Vacation on Mustafar. In those efforts, she’s placed in 20 events earning 4 Emerald, 4 Sapphire, 3 Amethyst, 8 Ruby, and 1 Diamond Crescent. She’s also earned a large number of Clusters, including 165 Clusters of Fire and 21 Clusters of Earth for her gaming activity, 11 Clusters of Graphite for her graphics work, and another 31 Clusters of Ice for her fiction work.

With Scudi, though, it’s not just about raw activity, it’s about how much she contributes otherwise. While no longer on the summit, Kelly remains involved in the clan and various behind the scenes work. Beyond that she’s constantly active in Telegram and participates regularly in clan discussions and informal activities which may or may not involve black and white cards. She’s always contributing her wit and wisdom to make Plagueis a better place.

Good job...again. =)

Since her promotion to Warlord and receiving a Steel Cross from Drac for helping with Hearthstone proposals, Scudi has continued to show a dynamic and awesome presence in Plagueis and beyond. Apart from her massive amounts of activity during Operation: Antiquity and Vacation on Mustafar, she continues to demonstrate how she is an integral part of clan brainstorming and activity. For example, back in March of this year, she submitted a nearly eight page document to Arden and me titled, “Plans for Plagueis,” in which she detailed ideas for Plagueis’s improvement as a clan, its lore, and its need to increase activity and participation. This was not something she had to do, but she provided her thoughts, anyway, which was beneficial and refreshing.

Most recently, Scudi has been running Google hang-outs for those who would like to work on DB writing assignments, projects, and wiki lore. She has also recently completed a massive wiki writing project with Khryso Mallus to update the Plagueis history page. Considering that volunteering for that stuff doesn’t get you clusters or crescents, I figured it was only appropriate that she be recognized for both her competition participation and her outside work and enthusiasm.

Congrats on the Grand Cross, my friend!

Giyana is a quiet but consistent participant in Taldryan's activities, and though she rately draws attention to herself, we can't overlook her contributions. Since her last recognition in March, Giyana has participated in 41 competitions, including all three phases of the recent Great Jedi War. In doing so, she's earned 2 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 3 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 1 Crescent with Amethyst Star, 4 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 1 Crescent with Emerald Star, 3 Crescents with Topaz Stars, 1 Crescent with Quartz Star, and 4 Clusters of Earth. In total, her actions have garnered her 3251 XP, and I'm happy to award her the Grand Cross to recognise those efforts.

Congrats, Giyana!
