Eli hasn't been the usual PCON for the Brotherhood, I wouldn't say he is an average one either. The work that this guy does for the Clan cannot be recorded on paper or a database, except maybe the military fleet he personally organised. Eli is the type of leader, that once he sees a problem he takes the spear-head to fix it. Often working heavily in the background, Eli's instinct is spot on in his role. From countless discussions about which capital ship would be best, to the success and activity of members within Imperium, to simple things he likes such as gaming on Winterbells and writing his own interpretation of the Midnight plot.

Eli is a real speaker with a talent for coordinating thoughts, analysing the next step and writing up the hypothesis for our future. There isn't a moment in my service as House leader that I felt I couldn't turn to him for help, because Eli knows the right answers. He's adaptable, he's tenacious and he is brilliant.

Eli isn't an average PCON, he's the perfect PCON.

Congratulations!

Eli stepped up to fill the role of PCON 4 months ago and he has yet to shy away from the challenges put in front of him, nor has he run away from us. He has done an excellent job supporting the Consul, and in addition is always willing to help me out when I need it. Lastly, being a PCON requires dealing with a lot of dissenting opinions. You have to not only be able to deal with them but be WILLING to deal with them.

I'd like to take this moment to second Xen'mordin's recommendation for a Grand Cross. He has not only assisted the Consul in major events over an extended period of time, but has done a good job handling everything else not everyone gets to see. Thank you for you efforts and congratulations!

What can I say that has gone unsaid? Eli has been an amazing leader, an exceptional member of the clan, and, a wonderful friend. Everything he does for the clan, he does with its members foremost in mind. From driving activity, to listening to what his clan mates have to say, to coming up with ideas and plans to drive the clan ever further; his wheels never stop turning. There is not many like him, and we are tremendously lucky to have him as our PCON!

Eli. Thank you for everything that you do, for all your words and actions and passion.

Eli, Eli, Eli. What can be said about this awesome, hard-working, smart person? With a little over half a year as Rollmaster, he has done extensive revisions to the Clan’s wiki, helping to flesh out and improve its many pages at every turn. He managed to recruit an old crummy elder to the House that would later become PCON. With a caring hand and a good ear, he takes good care of his wards and ensures the day to day handling of our fine young recruits is as pleasant and directed as possible. Under his watch, we saw the rise of The Golden Girls, a trio of rising stars within the DJB. With his helping hand, they have risen beyond anyone’s wildest expectations.

Elincia’s level-headed assessment of situations is an irreplaceable boon to our leadership. He counsels me frequently as I deal with tense situation, a counsel without which I might just lose my temper. Above all else, he is a good friend to all and there are few who could rival his loyalty to his clan.

Here is to a long life within Clan Scholae Palatinae, and rising to lofty new heights together.

The voice of reason and wisdom, the smart guy, the logic. Our Rollmaster and resident counselor is a vital piece in the intricate pattern that is Scholae Palatinae.

Whenever you need to look for the most sensible and thoughtful answer, there is Eli. Whenever you need to find a solution for a problem, there is Eli. Whenever you need a mediator to find a middle point in an argument, well, guess who's there.

Eli is not just our own Shaolin Monk-turned-advisor, but also an excellent Rollmaster. Helpful in every way, mindful of all new members, he cares for all and guides them at all moments through their earlier ranks with an excellent approach.

And then there's the numbers, and the Feud, and whatnot! What does someone need to do to deserve a Steel Cross, I wonder? I think the best answer I could give is: be like Eli.

Be water, my friend.

ELincia Rei is a Leader without bounds. He has taken on the reigns of Rollmaster to bring about more members to this great Clan. He didn't stop there as he overhauled many of our wiki pages so that any journeyman or new recruit curiously looking about the depths of the Wiki, would have no problem of learning more about CSP. He is quick to ensure that everything and anything remains professional, work is done with expertise and the utmost integrity.

Eli is also very active in CSP, leading from the front, like every great leader should. He actively participates in every competition possible and has also been a part of the Clan Feud, aiding the glory of the Clan. Eli is quick to ensure that any member receives the best advice and care that he could possibly give. Eli is also part of a fiction workshop that aids members with fiction skills and provides assistance for anyone that wishes to advance their character development into more. Eli is an excellent Rollmaster and am sure that it will continue with more genius ideas to come. Congrats Eli!

I haven't know Eli for a long time, but he has always impressed me as an active presence in the Clan. His activity and deeds speak for themselves, but I got to see some of it firsthand in the Clan Feud. He really was a difference maker in helping CSP acquire victory over CNS, and I appreciate just how much he tried to crush them. His efforts to excel are commendable and he certainly excelled!

From a team perspective, Eli continues to serve the Clan well. He helps the younger members of the Clan excel, and shares with them wisdom to take their DJB careers to the next step. Roll master is an important position in a Clan and he does it well. I commend his continued efforts to guide the young ones through the Clan's ranks.

Overall, this is not only excellent service but great work. I recommend Eli for a well earned Steel Cross!

Congrats!! Drinks are on you!!
