Primary reason

When it comes to Kazmir Natas, one finds a passionate member, who is not only active on IRC and on the mailing list, but is constantly in search of a project he could bite his teeth into. Graphics-, Fiction- Wiki-related, it doesn't matter, if there is something to do, he will do it, not for his personal glory but simply to get it done.

The Dark Crusade was no different on this regard for Kazmir, as he has had an almost flawless run during the first Phase of the Dark Crusade until he fared a grave change in his real life situation which caused him to pause his activities for the third month of the Crusade before he came back for the latter part of the Dark Crusade. Kazmir's overall performance in the Dark Crusade placed him among the upper tier of participation and placings, being outparticipated by only 27 members respectively outplaced by 33 members out of the 243 members that have participated in the Dark Crusade.

Talking about Kazmir's work outside the Dark Crusade, during the last year, Kazmir has been part of the Herald Staff, and helped much during the transition from the old to the new website, including setting up a temporary custom lightsaber and warbanner request form, has fleshed out a total of four Taldryan NPC wikis and took part in the Taldryan military and dominion wiki overhauls and last but not least trained one of Taldryan's Journeymen to the knighthood.

Good members come and go, eventually they get burned out or simply loos the drive and get bored, but Ladies and Gentlemen, Kazmir Natas is not of this kind, for he works hard and harder never losing his drive but always finding new quests and tasks to solve. This level of dedication and devotion to better the Brotherhood deserves something special, and thus, it is my greatest pleasure to request Sith Battlemaster Kazmir Natas to be bestowed with a Sapphire Blade! This one is for you Kaz, congratz!

Additional reasons

The Sapphire Blade is awarded to a member who has shown consistent and long-term service to their Unit or Brotherhood position. Such services however cannot be seen until taken on a whole, each individual part seen as one. The Sapphire Blade can also be rewarded for extraordinary amounts of activity in a large-scale competition such as the Great Jedi War, where the very best are rewarded for their efforts.

Kazmir has been one of the best assets that Taldryan has had during the Dark Crusades. His efforts on behalf of his unit place him in the strata of a top level performer in the Dark Brotherhood. Kazmir’s participation rating saw him place in the 88th percentile of Dark Brotherhood members, taking part in more events than all but 27 members of the club. In terms of skill, Kazmir ranks in the 84th percentile, outperforming all but 33 members of the Club. Given that he is only a Sith Battlemaster, Kazmir’s performance belies his rank, showing him to be a more consistent and skilled performer than a huge section of the Dark Brotherhood.

His efforts in the last round of the Dark Crusades are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Kazmir’s participation. Finishing it off with a perfect performance score, and helping Taldryan toward it’s domination of the Special Forces ranks on Dromund Kaas is valuable in and of itself, but what stands out in my mind, is how much work Kazmir does outside of what one would call his regular duties for Taldryan.

Kazmir’s desire to constantly be inundated with more activities means that he has become one of my most valuable workers. His efforts have led him to be one of the point men on reworking Taldryan’s core of NPCs, a long standing project run by me. His efforts have also yielded results in the reworking on Taldryan’s Army, and work on the Planetary dominion project. Beyond anything, Kazmir’s dedication to helping Taldryan in any way possible, and the constant amounts of work he does for us is worthy of recognition.

So, with all of that in mind, I heartily recommend that Sith Battlemaster Kazmir Natas be awarded a Sapphire Blade.
