Primary reason

Tim is a unique force within Arcona, or indeed the Brotherhood as a whole. Over the years, he has helped shape Arcona to what it is today. But what I’m here to discuss is his work over the past few months.

Timeros has grown into the role of one of Arcona’s must trusted leaders and advisors, regardless of whether he’s in a leadership position himself. When he’s around, he’s always available for feedback on new ideas, projects and the like. He also has a lot of new ideas himself, and Arcona is always the first to benefit from those. I’d specifically like to mention his brilliant (and quite lengthy) ACC guide, where he carefully analyses the system, pointing out strengths and weaknesses in a level of detail and quality never before seen. Tim has also been intimately involved with Arcona’s internal policy decisions for the last six months. All in all, he’s pretty much an indispensable member of the Clan leadership.

Then there’s the Great Jedi War. During the leadership crisis in the middle of it, Timeros found himself stepping up from just a lowly member to Aedile, and Quaestor only days later. Not only has he performed admirably in the position ever since, his strategic planning and motivational texts were instrumental in Arcona’s war effort. Especially in the areas of team gaming and ACC, he’s played a large part in getting our members to participate and achieving the maximum result for our Clan.

Timeros participated in a stellar 16 GJW events, highlighted by his efforts for Arcona’s first place in Battleplan 1, his second place in the main ACC event, fifth place in the Recon fiction event and sixth place in the Battlefield Objectives ACC co-op event. Other events he participated in include Legends gaming, Sector Sketch graphics, Effects of War graphics, Skirmish 1 and Skirmish 2 gaming, Potent Ink poetry, the trivias, the codebreakers, Battleplan 2 and the run-on.

In short, Timeros has been one of Arcona’s most high-profile members in the War, both on the participation and leadership fronts. For this, and for his ceaseless efforts to make Arcona a better place for everyone, I am proud to present Timeros Caesus Entar Arconae with this Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Well deserved, my friend.

Primary reason

I’m running out of rewards to give Tim that suit his commitment. Seriously. He’s the go-to guy for everything and has done an excellent job supporting the summit during a time of calm where many of them were at loose ends at how to keep their units active without a war to focus on. He’s thrown himself into various time-consuming projects with no thought of reward time and time again, such as writing a set of amazing promotion templates that are more in line with Arcona’s new fictional background after the Rite then worked with Celahir to put them into one very easy-to-use excel document that means we can get promotions written in a minute or two, rather than the usual half an hour for the higher Journeymen ranks. He’s helped establish policy on the new Shadesworn document (that in itself is a titanic task, as it involved pleasing a fair few differing schools of thought, such as me in the old school, compared to the fresh new ideas the BTLs bring to the table), he’s been mentoring every single member of the summit, lending his years of experience to them whenever they ask for help, and his advice is always spot on what they need to hear, whether it’s gentle encouragement or a slap round the ear – he’s a de-facto second Consul to them when I can’t always be there; he’s even giving Celahir helpful pointers as he settles into PCON. On top of that, he finds time to help me with the ground forces reset and even pitch into Etah’s wiki reform project. There is literally nothing he cannot do (as long as we ignore gaming, which most people seem content to do). He’s also managed to only piss off one DC’er since the Rite, which is a new record for him. This is all taken into account with his having university exams during the Rite and afterwards, and he still finds time to participate in the ACC equite ladder. Honestly, I want to know how he fits that much activity into the day. Finally, he manages to handle all newcomers to the clan, getting them orientated and set up. On that same vein, he’s helped Celahir and I revolutionise the way Arcona handles its newcomers, offering a very people-intensive course ensuring maximum exposure to give every newbie a ‘one on one, hands on’ feel that guarantees they make friends and feel like part of a community. This has already started improving our newbie retention rate, and I cannot wait to see what it yields in the future. You’re a paradigm of what the snarkier members of the Brotherhood can aspire to be, Tim. Don’t ever change.<br><b>
