Shin'Ichi has been my praetor, my second, my lieutenant, and I could not ask for a better compatriot in the Herald's Office. Most people do not recognize the amount of work that he puts in, as it is some of the less glorious tasks that he accomplishes for the Brotherhood. He has more than pulled his own in the Warbanner department, keeping the request queue down substantially for us, freeing me up to do the more expansive projects that I would otherwise not have had the time to do so quickly. His ideas, his feedback, and the concepts that he brings to the table as Praetor are more than helpful, as his point of view, his artistic aesthetic is somewhat different from mine. And this also is a good touch... by utilizing his feedback, we have been able to make things more appealing to a broader range of people. His work in doggedly persuing projects is a great help to the brotherhood, and his soldier's work ethic is evident in everything he undertakes, refusing to quit or fall short of his goals. I feel that it is high time that Shin'Ichi Endymiron Keibatsu be recognized with the Grand Cross of the Dark Side as a token of our esteem for him.

Archpriest Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu had been the Rollmaster of Clan Naga Sadow for more than half a year, having done an excellent job with taking care of the master-student program, tracking medals, promotions and Shadow Academy courses. Often he helped me when I seeked for advice, offering me his experience as a long-term member of the DB and the clan. It saddened me to see him step down from this position, but I am happy to be able to recommend this GC for such a commitment to the clan and the work as the Rollmaster of Clan Naga Sadow. Congratulations Shin, you deserve it!<br> <br> KAP Xia Long, Sildrin Sadow <br> Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh<br> <br> **<br> <br> Rollmaster is one of those positions that doesn't get a lot of notice. The behind the scenes work that Shin'ichi has done as ours, amounts to a lot of time and energy, which he has given to us graciously. His work on the warbanners has been exceptional and he has even found time to participate in the recent Clan feud and the GJW, recieving 9th place in the Investigations fiction and earning the Clan 96 points. It is my opinion that Shin'ichi is over due for recognition of his contributions to this Clan.<br> <br> Dark Jedi Knight Ashia Kagan<br> <br> *<br> <br> Since I have known Shin'ichi, with his return to the club after a long absence, he has been an active, hardworking, precise and loyal member of Clan Naga Sadow. His work is known throughout the Brotherhood with his positions as Praetor to the Herald and Magistrate to the Deputy Grand Master, and moreso in his previous position in his own Clan as Rollmaster as both of the Houses. During his period as Rollmaster, Shin'ichi showed his dedication to the Clan through his attempts to try and revitalise the Master-Student Program, attempts which met with considerable success. He applies the same work ethic to every job he is given- get it done quickly, and get it done well. He has been a valuable member of Clan Naga Sadow since his return, and I can only hope he remains with us for a long time. Mansei, brother! ^_^<br> <br> KE Nekura Manji Keibatsu<br> Quaestor Emeritus of Marka Ragnos<br> <br> *<br> <br> Shin'Ichi did a fine job as Rollmaster. I could always count on him to give me stats if I needed them, and to politely answer any questions. This is one hard working enthusiastic hombre. There were times when he felt it was nessecary to state his thoughts firmly, and it was needed at those points. For this, I respect him immensely. His service as Rollmaster has gone largely unrecognized, and I would like to take the time to bring this to your attention. I feel his work is worthy of commendation.<br> --<br> SBM Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu-Goura<br> DSC Tribune<br> <br> *<br> <br> KAP Shin'ichi Keibatsu is one of the constantly active members of CNS I remember since I joined. His past work as Rolemaster, his work as Muz's Praetor, his participation in competitions and runons and his humourous nature in IRC all show him as a valuable member of the Clan and the DB. Like others have said his reward for his work as Rolemaster and his activities in the Clan over a long time period is long overdue and therefore Shin'Ichi has earned a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.<br> <br> Malisane de Ath,<br> Aedile of Ludo Kressh<br> <br> **<br> <br> I would just like to add that in addition to his work as Rollmaster, Shin'ichi has continued to help the clan and myself. Immediately after getting the Consul position, Shin'ichi took the initiative in helping relay messages from the Dark Summit to the Clan mailing list. I couldn't do it myself because I'm busy on most weekday, so it's nice to know that other people are taking the initiative.<br> <br> Dark Adept Manesh Sadow<br> Consul of Clan Naga Sadow

I realize that Clan Naga Sadow didn't exactly give 100 percent in the recent Rite of Supremacy. If there was an MVP for Clan Naga Sadow in that competition, it would surely be Shin'ichi, mostly for getting our clan a 2nd place finish in the Battleplan, and keeping our clan from getting a distant last place overall. He gave the 100 percent some of the rest of us should have. All of us in the clan witnessed, through email and on IRC, Shin'ichi spending the time getting input from his team over the first four days he had, and then spending the entire day on IRC, the day the battleplan was due, putting it all together. It was remarkable, really remarkable.

It's been a long time since Shin'ichi has gotten a reward for anything, and in that time he has been in various Praetor and Magistrate positions, but more importantly he has been an adviser here and there for the Conclave. We probably don't have similar personalities, but Shin'ichi is a representation of the idea that in Clan Naga Sadow, we all bring something different to the table, and that makes us better as a clan.

Shin'ichi Keibatsu is long term committed member of Clan Naga Sadow, he takes an active participation in most debates within the Clan with a mature viewpoint, takes a particular interest in developing new members and promoting Clan wide activity.

Since his promotion to Epis, Shin has continued to work hard as Praetor and Magistrate to the Herald, has taken part in a lot of vendettas for CNS and has remained an active member. During the recent RoS, he personally took charge of the Battleplan event. For each round he created a team of members, asked us all for ideas and discussion on them, refined them into a workable plan and then produced a series of professional PowerPoint presentations that were both impressive and easy to understand. The fact that this excellent work by Shin failed to secure a clear first place will remain one of the great mysteries of the DB for years to come.

I would therefore like to add my support to him being awarded for his efforts with a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Shin’Ichi is one of my favorite people in this club. He was responsible for our Battleplan, a tremendous amount of work. The final product was awesome. He put many hours into that thing, many emails, and much IRC time. Considering he has a job and a wife as well, that is commendable. I would consider him to be the top performer in our Clan during the recent RoS2. Without his work, we would not have placed as well as we did. He works hard as Praetor and Magistrate, making lots of warbanners and other things. His input in the Clan Conclave is great. He was also responsible for the creation of our Black Guard some time ago, and this work was not recognized until later. Every vendetta that comes along sees him right in there kicking tail. I love that about him. For all these things, including his long-standing service to our Clan, I recommend that he be awarded a Grand Cross.
