Whilst Orv has not technically completed these requirements, I feel that his efforts making the new Clan Arcona website from scratch, spending more than 30 hours of his time coding it into a valuable and well-used addition to the Clan’s information base more than equates to the effort expended in earning either 40 Clusters of Fire, Completeing 5 battles in the ACC or writing 15 pages of fiction, and what’s more, is just as creative as the latter two, if not more so.<BR><BR>

Write either a High-quality fiction detailing the creation of your lightsaber, or create a high-quality graphic depicting your lightsaber.

Orv designed his own lightsaber which can be viewed here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/borkweb/510458247/<BR><BR>

As Orv has completed all of these guidelines, and more, I would like to respectfully request His promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. <BR><BR>

In darkness, <BR><BR>

Orv Dessrx entered the Dark Brotherhood with auspicious tidings, quickly setting forth to learn what it is that we do and lending his own considerable talents to assist those in need. Always cheerful, humorous and engaging, Orv never hesitates to toss out a pearl of wisdom to any that are eager to benefit from his knowledge or his insight. In addition to the numerous accomplishments outlined below, Orv has also recently agreed to take on the rather involved task of streamlining and revising the Outer Rim Wars’ reporting process via an online interface. Early glimpses of this show the same promise and attention to detail that he brings to everything that he does.

I am also truly honored to submit this promotion request on behalf of his Master and his Battleteam Leader. I’m quite certain that Orv is deserving of it.

Since his last promotion Orv has started or completed the following: Set up the Feud website, worked on a Galeres website, Created a sub-site service, constructed a plugin for accessing DB services in the sub-site service, did a character picture for me, completed the Leadership Applications Exam, HTML Basics Exam, Force Philosophy Exam and Runon Stories Exam. He sent in a Feud GFX entry and began 3 Feud ACC battles.

Orv has added a lot to the Qel-Droma phyle and is a significant presence in the ongoing clan feud. In my opinion this level of activity is above and beyond the commitment or capabilities of most members and should be recognized.

As my Apprentice, I am terribly biased, but I truly believe Orv deserves his promotion, simply because he is well, Orv. He is insanely active, taking part in any and all competitions he can lay his hands on, he is a great coder, brilliant graphics artist, a friend to count on, a pleasure to have around and just awesome.

Orv is one of the rare people in the DB that does what he agrees to do, and he hardly ever refuses something you ask of him, but if he does you can be sure it is for good reason. Tasks I have given him have always been completed quickly, and to the best of his ability. There is no such thing as 'try', Orv doesn't 'try', he doesn't waste time wondering if he should or should not, he just does what needs to be done and moves onto the next project that needs help.

He has completely a number of 'sideline' graphics projects for various members of the Brotherhood, including a family crest for the Master-at-Arms, Master Rokir, character pictures, designs for websites, input on ACC posts, feud events, helping other members with grammar / spelling, coding projects for the DB itself…the list is legion and I'm sure to forget nearly half of what he has done.

The point is simply this, Orv has completed all the Arconan requirements for his promotion to Guardian, and then he went beyond that. Helping where he can, completing projects on his own, and proudly carrying Battleteam Qel-Droma, House Galeres and Arcona, through everything he does.

Congratulations Orv, this is well deserved.
