Primary reason

HQD's least sneaky Aedile has been poking holes in all of our hearts, comps and knees ever since she joined, however Sofila perhaps needs an upgrade to that tool now.

The numbers will speak for themselves but I do want to emphasise that this activity is all done while actively encouraging others to do the same. Every activity has been with the crutch of discussion with others if not direct activity with others. I know that myself and her have been infamous for the amount of rp sessions we get through.

But still, onto the numbers. Sofila was last given an award for her efforts back in October. Since then she has organised and co-organised 7 competitions and participated in a staggering 214, 34 of which containers. This has led to a shiny awards cabinet even before this purple pinprick, having earned 8 Crescents with Diamond stars, 6 Crescents with Ruby stars, 3 Crescents with Amethyst stars, 8 Crescents with Sapphire stars, 3 Crescents with Emerald stars, 6 Crescents with Topaz stars and 3 Crescents with Quartz stars.

That's just competitions cause while Sofila has completed 7 regular fiction activities, writing 10851 words, she has also been a major player in the roleplay community. She has participated in 19 rps and created 6. Between them both she cracks 100k words (225 CoIs) in a quarter of a year. But we can't stop there, there has been 229 gaming activties that have seen 2071 Clusters of Fire and 166 Clusters of Ice join the pantry. 5 clusters of graphite top off the mass with her 16 Seals of Transcendence and a scroll of foundation just for fun too.

She also recently cracked open the shadow academy, passing 11 courses for 2 extra degrees. Sof has earned 721310 credits for Arcona. And all of this while acting as an amazing leader underneath Tali. He will cover her Aedile-ship better than I but all of this was while acting actively in her position. This included being an active aid during the transition between Consuls in Arcona last month. She worked with the summit, ensuring that the members had what answers we could grant as we ourselves recieved information. Proofing reports, reviewing spreadsheets and being a major contributer to writing and getting through the award backlog we had. She was there for me personally, as well as to others. This effort isn't written into the site but this combined with her efforts as an Aedile have not gone unseen. She has been a boon to Arcona and everything she touches in the club, actively working to be the best version of herself, as well as encouraging others to do the same, Sofila is an amazing individual to have on the team and if this Kukri can act as some symbol of our appreciation, then hell yeah.

Stab ahead, Sof.

Straight Sapphire for EQ2. Curvy Purple for EQ3. I suppose we're going to be expecting a Ruby Scepter by your EQ4 promo, eh?

Sagitta has probably achieved within four months more than most members manage in four years. She is relentless, a force of nature, and worst of all she makes it look easy. Her activity is not built on a foundation of competitive one-upmanship or trying to be the very best, like no one ever was, but rather bubbles from the wellspring of communal action. She wants to participate with others—and to get others to participate with her.

This makes her an excellent Leader, with a capital L.

I fully acknowledge my own strengths to be managerial, and as such when I hired Jenni four months ago to be my Aedile, I was looking for a Leader first and foremost. There was competition for the spot and the choice was not easy, but with this experience I can tell I made the right call.

Her energy is reinvigorating House Qel-Droma and as she grows into her own and assumes more and more tasks and responsibilities within our leadership structure, I foresee great things in our future.

People like Jenni do not come around often, and when they do, they are truly remarkable individuals. I wish to extend this acknowledgement to you, Jenni. You are amazing and I appreciate your work and dedication beyond this shiny sword. Thank you, for accepting the responsibilities of Aedile and for bringing your energy into our House. I feel our future much more secure in your hands than anyone else's.

Sofila "Spicy" Douve Armis — yes the nickname needs to be included — has earned the required 11533 mxp for an Amethyst Kukri! Since her last award, she has organized 1 competition and participated in 32. She won 1 Amethyst, 4 Emerald, and 1 Topaz Star Crescents. Taking part in 7 gaming activities, she netted 54 Clusters of Fire. Sofila also participated in 6 roleplay activities with 6,566 words and earned 13 Clusters of Ice. In addition, she ranked up once in the Antei Combat Center as a participant. To top it all off, she recently concluded her service stint as Magistrate to the Fist, to which I’ll let Turel discuss more on below.

Sofila, or Jenni as we all know her, has grown renown through the Brotherhood with her inescapable and inevitable aura. She is one of the most kind and friendly individuals I've gotten a chance to meet, always eager to welcome in the new and the old into the circles of our DJB lives. Jenni’s excitement and joy is infectious and inspiring, whether it be for her own creations and muses or anyone else's. She’s one of the first in the pack to inquiry others on their characters, plots, or just frankly to see how it's going. She’s an incredibly caring and supportive person, which is felt heartily by those who get to know her. I don't know how she does it, but her frequent presence in not just the Brotherhood general chats but throughout all the clan chats contributes to her renown through the club. I know wherever Jenni goes, her ambition and love for this community will be carried like a beacon that is felt by all.

So, with one last honors, I am pleased to recommend Sofila “Spicy” Douve Armis this Amethyst Kukri. May the stars guide your journey as you adventure forth!

Another stabby for Jenni! Even through a whole bunch of RL BS going on, Jenni has remained a constant and active presence in Arconan and Qel-Droman spaces. She has kept pace and been near the top of the Qel-Droma leaderboards, even snagging the Blind Key for a month! An absolute powerhouse of our Clan, and definitely the heart of Qel-Droma, this is a well-deserved award for an incredible member!

Jenni served on Fist staff from April of last year until February of this year. She was an absolute pleasure to have on staff and provided a positive and encouraging energy as an ambassador to the gaming to community throughout her term. While most of her staff contributions were on the front end of her term, as her health limited her bandwidth in the fall and winter, she still provided meaningful input on a cluster rebalancing, four platform adoption proposals and helped me test out technical solutions for our deaf and hard of hearing members which led to us adding the Scriptly transcription bot to our discord server.

On behalf of the Fist staff, thank you for hard work and uplifting spirit. #TIGERYEET
