Julius! Your character may have been appropriately stabbed to death, but you’re still here, kicking butt.

Gaius Julius Caesar has served as the Aedile of two houses - the now defunct Karness Muur and currently Tyranus - and has demonstrated since his last recognition that he is not slowing down, despite his long tenure of almost fifteen years in the Brotherhood. His recent leap into leadership has paid tremendous dividends for both his activity and Plagueis’s well-being, and he ought to be awarded for it.

Participation-wise, Julius has been on his feet and moving since his last recognition. He has submitted to 75 competitions and co-organized 5 of them, assisting his Quaestor in running the Grand Opening event for House Tyranus upon its creation. His list of shinies is nothing to sneeze at, either: He has accumulated three Gold Novae, one Silver Nova, one Crescent with a Ruby Star, three Crescents with Amethyst Stars, six Crescents with Sapphire Stars, two Crescents with Emerald Stars, two Crescents with Topaz Stars, four Clusters of Fire, nine Clusters of Ice, 48 Clusters of Earth, 21 Clusters of Graphite, one Legion of the Scholar, and 14 Seals of Discord. He completed all nine bins for the latest Great Jedi War as well, earned a Gold Nova for his contributions to the clan-wide run-on, and led by example despite real life issues rearing their ugly heads.

Julius has served as Aedile for well over a year now, assisting in founding and running a brand new house in Clan Plagueis. His Telegram presence is incredibly consistent, and he knows when to jump in and help when other leaders get caught up in other things, including writing a house summit report all on his own when his Quaestor was experiencing technical difficulties. He was crucial in doing weekly reach-outs to members during the latest war, emailing and messaging them to ensure that they were participating and asking if they needed any assistance. While I could go on and on about every member of my summit and how lucky I am to work with each and every one of them, it has been delightful to see this man truly settle into leadership after so many years of not touching it. It’s awesome to see.

Julius, for your work and your pains, I hereby recommend you for a Sapphire Blade.- your very first sacramental award. Congratulations, and thank you for being an amazing colleague and dear friend!

Dread Lord of Plagueis

They say when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Likewise, they say when in Plagueis, Do All The Things(™). And that’s just what Marcus does. Marcus is a dedicated and reliable member of Plagueis, always willing to jump in during an event and not only get participation in himself, but encourage other members to fight alongside him in bringing victories to the clan. While real life can sometimes get in the way and available time can be an issue, Marcus has recently decided to dive back into being an active member of the clan! Since his last recommendation, Marcus has participated in 23 different competitions earning a Cluster with Amethyst Star and 2 with Emerald Star. His return to activity has coincided with the release and support of Star Wars Hunters which he has jumped into, co-ordinating times to play with his fellow clan mates earning himself 6 Cluster of Fire.

Now, you’d think someone as old as the Roman Empire would already know everything there is to possibly know. But Marcus has proven that everyone can expand their knowledge by completing 14 Shadow Academy courses, earning an additional 7 degrees and ranking up not once, not twice, but three times in the Aurora Collegium of Sciences to reach rank X (oh look, another Roman reference!). Outside of his site tracked metrics and awards, Marcus is an absolute pleasure to have in the clan, always willing to chat with his clan mates both one on one and in the clan chat, encouraging his fellow members, answering questions and getting to know them on a personal level. Marcus, my old friend, this clan truly isn’t the same place without you and I am honoured to be able to write this recommendation, I am trusting you with this stabby, please refrain from stabbing me with it 23 times. Congratulations on a well deserved Sapphire Blade!

P.S. You will be happy to know that I wrote this entire rec calling you Julius before realizing my mistake…
