Gentlemen,<BR><BR>
I am calling on you today to attract attention to one of Arconas most valuable and consistently underrated members, one Zandro Savric Erinos.<BR><BR>
Zandros work as a member alone, as is known by many in his Clan, has been exceptional. He is a solid and dedicated member who has, since his last promotion, gained over seventy Clusters of Fire from gaming alone. Such dedication in and of itself is admirable.<BR><BR>
However, far more commendable than this is that Zandro is no one-trick pony, quite diverse with his skills, among them also writing and poetry. His record in the Rite of Supremacy is a superb testament to that. Zandro placed twelfth overall, gaining six Seals of Darkness for his participation in various games. He has also done fiction and ACC, gaining respectively thirty-two and sixty-six points on those, once again showing his dedication to the Clan and the Brotherhood as a whole as an honest-to-goodness Dark Jedi with talent to spare.<BR><BR>
Much the same can be said for his participation in the Feud, where Zandros contributions to varying levels, among which gaming, ACC, and especially the runon, where greatly appreciated. He is also active in a current runon. More participation can be found in his gaining two Seal of Dominance for activity in the Outer Rim War, as well as two Crescents of the Ruby and Amethyst variety. All in all, Zandros membership is not merely exemplary but consistently so.<BR><BR>
Zandros post-RoS activities have also been remarkable. He has not flagged in his activity since then, having written three reports and having been online often and consistently. He has worked closely together with our new Clan Summit in several areas of activity. One of these is our Clan Runon, Desperate Times, in which he has gained a strong second place and coordinated with the other members of Soulfire strike team.<BR><BR>
Finally, we must draw attention to Zandros skills of motivation. He is a sincere and extremely interactive leader on IRC, constantly talking to his members, from whom I have heard nothing but praise about his ability to consistently motivate them into performing well beyond the norm of a regular battle team. I served under Zandro twice, myself, and I can say his reputation is well-deserved. It has been largely due to his influence that Soulfire is again going strong, helping everyone get along as well as creating an esprit the corps I have never before seen in any other team. Zandro deserves the credit for having created the team that carried Arcona through much of the Feud and RoS, and that has continued to excel and expand since then. For this, there is no stronger evidence than that many of the Clans leaders at all levels have hailed from Soulfire.<BR><BR>
As such, for excelling in all areas of the Brotherhood, from gaming to writing to leadership; for being consistently innovative and a great guy to be around; for helping out others with tips on gaming and managing to keep up with, and maintain, the strongest Battleteam in Arcona, the Clan Summit would like to request that Zandro Savric Erinos be hereby sentenced to wearing the Grand Cross of the Dark Side. <BR><BR>

<U>Praise from others:</U><BR><BR>
As said, I have heard nothing but praise from several Soulfire members both current and former. In here a small cross-section of what they have to say about him:<BR><BR>
Chris is perfect for Soulfire Strike Team. He embodies their elite nature within Arcona, being highly proficient in a number of disciplines (all of which he applied in the Rite of Supremacy) however I feel of particular note was his participation in the recent Arcona Run On His posts were brilliantly written, they moved the plot along, and he did an excellent job of keeping his Battleteam motivated both in and out of character, making sure that his command worked as a team. It worked. Brilliantly. The RO was a huge success, and through his efforts, his Battleteam meshed even closer as friends and colleagues.<BR><BR>

Zandro has been my BattleTeam leader since joining the Brotherhood and is a constant source of motivation and encouragement. He will gladly go out of his way to help any of his Clan members and it is doubtful I would have progressed as far as I have without his support. <BR><BR>
Zandros leadership skills are faultless in my opinion, he is well organised, frequently on IRC and is always offering assistance and guidance. It is with these reasons why I request the Grand Cross awarded to Zandro Savric Erinos as he has proved himself worthy of such a merit.<BR><BR>

I most wholeheartedly concur that Zandro CC Savric Erinos is worthy of additional cash and prizes. Speaking from a mostly personal experience basis, I have a few things to share since the last time our dear friend CC received a merit medal (circa December of last year). As his former Rollmaster, BTL, QUA and now RM once again, I can certainly attest to both his activity and his loyalty to our group. Since his last medal of this sort, he has accumulated at least 350 CFs, done tons of writing for various run-on comps and even made some time to come help me get a few wins in team BF2 during the ORW, as well as putting in some work in the EaW portion of the last Rite of Supremacy. <BR><BR>
Beyond that, CC has been a trusted ally and a knowledgeable sounding board for all things DB. From how to do this or that in Empire at War to how best to proceed with a run-on, Zandro has been a guy that can answer questions like that. Loyalty. Dedication. Ongoing devotion. Activity. All of these things can easily be said of CC. He even participated in many events of the recent RoS and did a bang up job, finishing somewhere in the top 15 or so. For that kind of work ethic, not to mention the enrichment that he provides nearly everyday with his candor and humor on IRC, Im very happy to be recommending this. Although, dont get me wrong
Im even more happy to be fortunate enough to call him a friend. <BR><BR>

Zandro Savric Erinos or better known to me simply as Chris epitomizes the core fundamentals of leadership. He has seen the Soulfire Battle Team grow underneath him to become the pride of Arcona, without him this would never have been possible. His constant guidance and friendliness to those within the Battle Team and the Clan has been of great value. Moreover, his proficiency within the gaming activities in the Brotherhood is worth due notice. He has become the top 'gamer' on the Empire At War platform as well as being well regarded as a competent duellist on Jedi Academy and proficiency in Battle Front. Having known Zandro for several years I have watched his writing blossom into a fantastic individual style. His writing grips the reader and floods his/her imagination with detail. Chris is a truly worthy recipient of the Grand Cross. <BR><BR>

The fact that Zandro doesn't have a Grand Cross already is surprising to me. As his XO in Soulfire, I would have to say that he was one of the biggest motivators in that group. When he's there, he's always available to answer some of the difficult questions when they arise. He has always had some great ideas for competitions and has the ability to make sure that every one of his subordinates are more than happy in the Battle Team. It was always a pleasure to work with CC and he more than deserves this Grand Cross. <BR><BR>
