Wow, Tahiri. Just…wow.

You are incredible. Your service to Plagueis is impeccable. Your participation is astounding. Your contributions to both the ACC and the Shadow Academy are worth cheering about. All around, you are the epitome of a stellar Dark Jedi Brotherhood member.

Tahiri has participated in a jaw-dropping 342 competitions since her last recognition and organized two of them as well, including doing all nine bins for the latest Great Jedi War. Just look at these shinies: Two Gold Novae. Nine Crescents with Ruby Stars. 27 Crescents with Amethyst Stars. 30 Crescents with Sapphire Stars. Five Crescents with Emerald Stars. 55 Clusters of Fire. 29 Clusters of Ice. 56 Clusters of Earth. 55 Clusters of Graphite. One Scroll of Indoctrination for recruiting her younger sister, Livia. Seven Scrolls of Foundation for grading ACC exams. Five Legions of the Scholar. Two Seals of Loyalty. Thirteen Seals of Discord. Not only has she gone all out in events, but she has also done phenomenally in the overwhelming majority of them. It’s quantity and quality, people.

But it doesn’t stop there. Tahiri served as both Aedile and Quaestor of House Ajunta Pall before its closure, and since then, she has served as Plagueis’s Rollmaster for six months. Not only does she have a welcome letter ready for every new member, but she goes out of her way to PM them, link them to guides and SA exams, set them up with a master if they’re interested, and check in if she doesn’t hear anything from them. Whenever she is on Telegram, she is positive, bubbly, and friendly. She spearheaded the contact campaign during the latest Great Jedi War, leading the way in reaching out to members to ensure that they felt good about their entries. Tahiri is an incredible adviser, mentor, and friend, and I trust her on a number of subjects as it pertains to the health and productivity of the clan.

I will admit, upon looking through the numbers, that even the MAA Office vocalized their awe at Tahiri’s productivity, hence why I am able to recommend this amazing lady a Ruby Scepter. As it states in the award’s description, “Ruby Scepter recipients have demonstrated their value to the whole Brotherhood through extreme dedication to one or more specific aspects of the organization.” Not only has Tahiri shown extreme dedication in multiple aspects of the club, but she has also shown extreme dedication to Plagueis. I am so grateful to have her around as a leader, and I can only hope she can serve for many more months, or even years, as well.

Tahiri, you should have been awarded long ago, and the fault is mine for letting your accomplishments slip through the cracks. Please accept my sincerest apologies for taking this long to recognize your efforts.

Congratulations, and thank you!

Tahiri is one of the most steady contributors to Clan Plagueis's success as can be found anywhere. Recently returned to the summit in December after a hiatus, she has made contributions as both a consumer of content (and oh boy does she consume that content) as well as a leader giving back to the community.

Activity wise, she's been absolutely on fire since her last recognition. Competition wise, she has participated in 445 total non-container competitions while earning the following placements: 6 Diamond, 18 Ruby, 52 Amethyst, 56 Sapphire, 30 Emerald, 17 Topaz, and 7 Quartz crescents for a placement rate of 42%. Additionally, she's been kicking the crap out of gaming to the tune of 1,325 Clusters of Fire and an additional 192 Clusters of Earth. She's also been a bit of a monster on the fiction front, wracking up 24,072 words of fiction between fiction and RP. On top of that, she's pocketed 50 Clusters of Ice, 28 Clusters of Graphite, and 13 Seals of Transcendence while earning 10 society rank ups as well! She's even hosted a pair of competitions.

More than that, though, Tahiri has been a valuable piece of the Summit staff for Clan Plagueis. She stepped back up into the role last December when we were really in need of a Quaestor, giving me another chance to work with her. She really stepped up, working to push the sort of peer to peer style member engagement that Plagueis has always valued. She's also continued to release her monthly reports as well, ensuring that the membership is informed and up to speed while making sure to remind them to DB that day (one of the goals of our Clan report cadence). She ensured that awards and promotions are actioned on behalf of her charges in House Ventress, a critical function that is the foundation of positive member interactions. And beyond that she's always been someone to engage in the kind of community building activities, be it an RP session or hosting a gaming party, that build the atmosphere of Clan Plagueis in a positive way.

Tahiri's continued contributions to the Ascendant Clan are hard to assign a value to, but in the sense that what she does is priceless as opposed to unclear. She is a constantly up-beat presence for the members, putting the best foot of our Clan and Club overall forward with everything she does. For all the work and activity she does, I'm honored to be able to recommend her for her second Ruby Scepter. Well done, Tahiri!

Tahiri continues to maintain a consistent and high level of activity within Clan Plagueis, working hard to lead from the front at all times. Whether it is publicly driving activity via gaming or RP organization, or just blasting out activity at a rate that few can match, Tahiri continues to reach a level of excellence that all those in her House should strive for.

Since her last award, Tahiri has managed to submit to 359 non-container competitions, earning 221 placements for those entries. That's right, Tahiri literally places in 61.5% of the competitions she enters. Those placements netted her 1 Silver and 3 Bronze Novae, along with 3 Diamond, 23 Ruby, 50 Amethyst, 69 Sapphire, 48 Emerald, 14 Topaz, and 10 Quartz crescents. Not a bad haul, all told. She has also earned 1132 Clusters of Fire (101 gaming activities), 35 Clusters of Ice (3,173 ACC words, 12,136 Roleplaying words, and 2,407 DM words), and 125 Clusters of Graphite. She even threw in a pair of Dark Side Scrolls for good measure. Society Rank ups? Tahiri has 14, split between the Shroud Syndicate, ACC (both judge and participant), and Envoy Corps (both participant and organizer). She even found time to further her continuing education in the form of 5 SA courses passed and 2 degrees earned (not allowing being an Elder stop her from learning new things!).

Additionally, she has continued to lead her House with tenacity and drive. She helmed House Ventress through the back half of 2024, taking special care during the Pro Bowl as the highlight of the year's competitive calendar. Her work during that event as part of the Summit team was a huge part of Plagueis's driving a DB-best 283 entries during the run of the event. She has done much outside of "game time", as it were, to also ensure that members are engaged and moving forward with their DB career and achievements. She takes point on organizing day to day activity, often found organizing gaming parties or RP sessions to give members a creative and competitive outlet for the in-between times in the gaps where major events aren't. She's published three reports to keep her House (and Clan, since they go out Clan wide) update on the goings on throughout the Brotherhood, working to keep members engaged as well.

Tahiri has become one of the rocks that Clan Plaguies is built upon, maintaining a remarkable consistency in its leadership. Her breadth of experience coupled with her drive for activity serves the Ascendant Clan well, and I hope she continues to show no signs of slowing down. Once again, you have my thanks, Tahiri!
