Ah, Rayne...the yang to Thran's yin in the Hoodrats. One of the Bureau Bandits. Burner of pants. Stealer of the Dreaded Holocron of Pantlessness. Rayne, is constant within Scholae Palatinae.

What has been great over the last few months has been both Rayne's consistency and her growth. She is a constant presence upon the GMRG Leadership board (currently #3 but having placed in the top 10 for the last two quarters). Since her last award she has a combined 1,106 clusters related to gaming.

She participated in all the GJW XV bins and earned an impressive Gold Nova for the Coop.

While this is an impressive level of engagement within our community; Rayne has been working behind the scenes to improve Scholae Palatinae's wiki. While this isn't as 'flashy' as some of the other activities she has brought a structured approach by setting up Trello and breaking the activity needed into sub-projects for ease of tracking and, most importantly, a consistent and continual process that we can leverage going forward for all who are interested in assisting with our wiki management.

To me the most important artifact within the Clan is our wiki as it is our shared history and, without it, who knows what we've done. I really appreciate that Rayne has been working on this continual activity for Scholae Palatinae.

Additional reasons

Rayne is a cornerstone of the antics that go on in Clan Scholae Palatinae. Whether it be the traditional burning of pants, arson in general, or just contributing to the chaos, Rayne is one of the most present members of our community. Her continued engagement in Discord chat is but a beginning of the effect she has on the Clan. On top of her regular commitment to gaming, participation in clan events, competitions, and presence in Discord, Rayne has recently taken up assisting in some behind the scenes projects.

One such project has been the ongoing clean up of the Clan’s Wiki. During this project, Rayne has taken a hands-on approach by relocating more than 25 articles to their appropriate categories, creating an artifact article of one of CSP’s relics, updated the Clans templates. While there is still much work to do on this project, the effort she has already put in has earned her Wikipedian of the month. I am sure there will be more of that to come! Beyond updating pages, Rayne has also been instrumental in developing the roadmap for many future Wiki updates, many of which are already in the works as the Clan rebuilds the Caperion System after the Dark Times Event and the GJW.

Beyond the work she’s poured into the Clan wiki, Rayne takes a special place in our clan acting as a beacon of fun and positivity. She is always there to dump gasoline on the fires of our craziness. This contribution is hard to measure, but the entire Clan can agree that having her around greatly contributes to the fun atmosphere we have. Rayne is our “offical” sign holder and is always there to remind us that we are in a pants-free zone or to put out the most important sign of all #beatkam. To put it plainly, Clan Scholae Palatinae is the way it is because we have Rayne. We would not have it any other way.

Rayne has continually shown her dedication to the Clan through her activity and continued impact on the community. Her presence is so impactful that when the judges of the Co-op fiction in the Great Jedi War saw the group that was participating (Rayne, Kamjin, and Myself) they knew they were in for a real ride! The humor and lightheartedness she brings to the table carried that piece to winning 1st place and earning a Gold Nova. It is that humor and lightheartedness which makes Rayne so crucial to the success of the Clan. We are so privileged to have her as a member and the award of a Sapphire Blade is the least we can do to show our thanks.

Rayne, thank you for everything you do!

Primary reason

Rayne continues to be a shining star amongst Scholae Palatinae. No pants escape her sight, no sign left un-offical. Her recent placement in the ProBowl shows that she's a top contender amongst the wider DJB. Beyond her competitive activity she continues to work steadily on the Scholae Palatinae wiki updates coming out of our Dark Times Saga conclusion and, in some cases very long, overdue updates and simplifications.

In addition, she's found herself on the GMRG Top 10 quarterly finishers again (the DC must like her for some reason, I think it's cause it's an offical role).

Congratulations Rayne!

Primary reason

Rayne is the Right Hand of the Emperor. She does everything she can to help support CSP. She has been a dedicated member of this clan for a long time, and now she has stepped up into the role of Summit. In addition to all of the competitions run and participated in, RPs played, and presence within the Clan

Rayne has served 7 months as QUA and 2 Months as Proconsul. This was not a consideration in her last medal, which was awarded on activity alone. She served 5 months as QUA prior to her last medal. Being on the summit can be demanding at times, but Rayne has never shied away from answering the call. In her time as QUA she ran 15 competitions and advertised many of them to the Clan. Additionally, Rayne has been instrumental in advertising the events that the Clan has going on, whether she is running them or not. She's sent emails, pinged on Discord, and participated in as many events as she could as a leader. I believe that a good leader leads from the trenches and Rayne is a great example of this.

Additionally, Her contributions beyond advertising competitions have already made an impact on Clan Scholae Palatinae. After being appointed to Proconsul, Rayne has stayed true to her vision of helping to create a deep and enriching fictional environment for CSP. Rayne approached me and made the suggestion that we open a chat on discord where our members can discuss the fictional aspects of their characters without the pressure from the greater DB. Her suggestion was quickly welcomed by the clan and this chat gets occasional updates with prompts or questions members would like to discuss. Rayne oversees this channel, including setting up some basic rules and routinely contributing prompts for our members to chat about.

Rayne is constantly searching for new ways to improve the Empire. Paying homage to her fictional role as an ISB agent, Rayne gathers intel from across the DB chats and keeps me informed of what is going on but more importantly Rayne represents CSP in a fashion fitting for her position.

She has been an instrumental part of the team and she has continued to grow as a leader. It is my great pleasure to see her continue to grow and can't wait to see what else she has to contribute for the benefit of the Empire. Congratulations Rayne and Thank you for everything you do for CSP.
