1st Place in Random Oberst Trivia.

As Tradition dictates, we hand out Seals of Loyalty on the Day of the Fox. These individuals have shown great loyalty to the club as a whole, in their efforts to keep our club fun, interesting, and growing into the future. It is a token of our esteem, and I wish to congratulate this year's recipients.

For participation in creating, discussing, refining and executing Project Shadesworn within Clan Arcona. The leaders were required to provide direct, concise feedback on the initial outline, ratify the final copy and execute the plan of action set in place. This involved lots of late night & early morning discussions, lots of e-mails, absurd amounts of contact with subordinate leaders, the honored Arconae and fielding the concerns of the members themselves.

Each member was crucial in helping pick new Clan Force Powers (based in Star Wars canon), helping shape the "Shadesworn" identity (history, overview, specifics), creating & reviewing fictional elements (Shadow Oath fiction, Shadow Disciple fiction, etc), as well as assisting in creation of new administrative tools (clan-wide activity tracker, leadership efficiency tool, shadesworn@gmail, etc). In addition, the discussions stimulated future projects and tightened the margin for error with Project Reb00t.

Everyone did a lot of work and not every question had an easy answer. I am, however, extremely proud of every member whom helped shape the documents and gave it their all.

Zakath and Sanguinius are both deserving of honor and gratitude from all of Clan Arcona. And, especially, from me. At the onset of my tenure as their Proconsul, I established that both Aediles would work for me... and that we were going to work hard.

Our first, and perhaps most ominous, task was to establish a culture of activity within Arcona. I do not buy that this season is a 'lull' and I demanded they mirror my thought process. Both complied and stepped forward, willingly, to assist. We spent two weeks brain storming numerous competitions for the month of October (Halloween, yay) and began to set a plan of action. Not only did we determine the exact competitions, but the pair spaced them out over the entire month (creating a calender), submitted the competitions for MAA approval and have - without reproach - run each competition for the event.

Not only do they provide us weekly reminders and recaps, but they use it as a tool to continue driving the member experience. In several instances, I have seen both Aediles use a submission e-mail as a means of reaching out to their members to check on their welfare, ask for insight or to simply congratulate them (and then invite them onto IRC).

For such an exceptional demonstration of leadership and genuine care for their members, I applaud their efforts with Anteian Crosses. Well done, gentlemen.

In addition, the House Leaders were required to provide specific visions to their new Team Leads, help shape Team proposals, refine those proposals and present them before the Clan Leaders - Dash & I. It took over a month, but we finally reached pay dirt. Congratulations, guys.

Zakath has served as my Aedile for several months and done so with distinction. He has proven to be an able leader and very capable at following directions, two things that generally contradict one another in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He has taken great initiative with journeyman development, stepping in for an inactive Rollmaster and then emailing the journeyman personally to inform them on their next steps. This kind of personal attention is what makes the difference between a new join becoming an active member and contributor to their clan, who is properly educated in the basics of the Dark Brotherhood, which is the end goal and someone that gets Shadow Oathed out of the clan and never reappears.

Furthermore while I was away on an unavoidable extended absence (one month IRL time) he stepped up and maintained the House Galeres as the sole summit member. In that time as the sole summit member, part of the time with an inactive clan Summit. Furthermore once the Clan Summit became active and was appointed respectively, he proved cooperative with them and while continuing to take initiative in several areas and still standing in for the roll master, ably followed the specific direction I had given him. For all these reasons and more Zakath deserves this Steel Cross as a token of my gratitude and in recognition for the able service he provided as my stand-in and continues to provide as my Aedile.
