Valhavoc has been a member of the staff for a few months now and has been one of our biggest members to play Diablo 3 with many of our members. Himself and Atra went over the CF Table and revised it in such a way that it is more balanced out across the board. He has been there for meetings where we discussed several decisions revolving around the Rites of Combat, and has been an officer to the ToR Guild, inviting and recruiting members, as well as creating ToR and Diablo competitions each month. Recently he's written the Path of Exile rules, as well as suggested the CF table for it. As a token of my thanks, I'd like to award Valhavoc a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

In the quest for fairness and maintaining a level playing field within the Dark Brotherhood's multiplayer community, there must be a person who, while improving the system, must look at all sides of the issue, both good and bad, and figure out a compromise. This task, so multifaceted and fraught with difficulties, is not one for the light of hard. Luckily, Valhavoc is not light of heart.

he has spent countless hours in the pursuit of fairness in the form of the Clusters of Fire Table Revisions. Apart from the massive amount of mathematical data involved, he had to contend with, and consider, a myriad of different opinions and suggestions. At the end of the day, the product he has produced is excellent and fully compatible with our games.

Aside from the CF tables, his work with Diablo 3 and lately Path of Exile, has been exemplary, and we hope he continues to provide the FIST staff with this level of excellent. Congratulations and thank you!

To say that Valhavoc has been "busy" is an overwhelming understatement. This man is never content unless he's managing near or full 100% participation in anything, and heaven forbid he has to go on RL vacation for a couple of days. He was a great boon to Galeres and now Qel-Droma, and frankly, in the short time he's been my Aedile, I'm completely floored by what he's managed to do already, along with the great maturity and professionalism he has brought with him.

Valhavoc established a brand new Battleteam from scratch in Galeres and proceeded to build it up with diligence and care, until it eventually became the top BT we had in Arcona with fantastically active members with a desire to improve and win in events such as Beyond the Horizon where it did just that for several months. Then Qel-Droma had an Aedile vacancy and he stepped up and again moved into a brand new position for him, and was literally thrown right into the Crusade vendetta. And I am very happy to report that he took to it like a fish to water.

Val threw out numerous emails to our members to introduce himself to the House and motivate everyone for the oncoming Vendetta, finished out his own BT's report so that he could move and let the new BTL come in well-organized, and helped to write a report for the HQD Summit, as well as came up with a rewards matrix to help our Summiters reward people, and became a wonderful sounding board for myself as well as bringing in some great wisdom born from real life experience. And then, on top of all of this, Valhavoc participated in 5 events during the vendetta: Stones fiction, Graphics, Gaming, SA Encryption, and of course, the Wiki competition, in which he assisted his team in winning fourth place, and helping Arcona win 2nd place overall during the Crusade.

As if that wasn't enough, he has also recently obtained a Scroll of Foundation for mentoring Montresor to DJK. Monty has gone on to wildly participate in the Vendetta, no doubt partially due to Val's diligence in tutoring him. On top of his merits, Val was also an extremely active participant during Beyond the Horizons Arcona/Plagueis Feud, and obtained an Amethyst x6 for 3rd place in BTH RO, 1st place Acro, 3rd place fiction, 1st place wk2 BTH acro, 2nd place BTH battleplan, and 2nd place for wk2 BTH fiction, plus a Legion of the Scholar for 1st place in BTH Trivia as well as a Diamond Star for 1st place overall in BTH. Aside from BTH he has also won a Sapphire x1 for 1st place in the Defeat Diablo competition, Emerald x1 for 3rd place in "The Great Error Hunt", Cluster of Ice x5 for his participation in the Avenger II run-on and Val has also earned himself an incredible 722 Clusters of Fire for TOR/Diablo participation as well as 3 Pendants of Blood.

So again, "busy" is an overwhelming understatement. Valhavoc has been an amazing boon to Arcona through his hard work and dedication and I have nothing but great faith in what he will accomplish as Aedile. It is my pleasure to request this GC for him to show our appreciation.

I would just like to take a moment to add a few sentences to Sock's comments.

Valhavoc has been a boon to Arcona since he joined. His work on the gaming front, his activity within the Clan, his ability to lead even before being awarded a leadership position all speak of his wide array of talents and abilities. I feel honoured, if not graced, to finally have him as a colleague within the Arconan summit.

His work speaks for itself, as Socorra has demonstrated, he does everything off his own back, in his own time, all for the benefit of Arcona and its members. This, above all else, defines his role as a member of this Brotherhood. Without people like him, this would be a dull, dreary place.

Well done, Val. You've earned it.

For assisting in mentoring Montresor through to Knighthood, you have earned this Scroll of Foundation. Thank you for assisting your fellow Brother through his Trials.

Master Windos, 2013-02-20 17:09:08 UTC

For taking the initiative to draw up a proposal for a clan wide activity reward matrix in the wake of The Crusade Phase I and pitching it to the entire Arconan summit with resounding success, I would like to request that Valhavoc be awarded with a Dark Cross.

I hope this small token of gratitude goes some way to expressing my appreciation for taken initiative in Arcona, and as an indication of my thanks.

Congratulations.
