Exar's Shadow

Commander Report #1

Sith Battlemaster Derev Niroth

Introduction

First, I want to thank our esteemed leaders for giving me this opportunity to serve Plagueis once again. Thanks :) Drinks on...them :)

For those of you who haven't had the err..pleasure of meeting me, I'm Sith Battlemaster Derev Niroth. I've been around for a few years, including a past tenure in Clan Plagueis. I've had successful tours of duty as a Battleteam Leader, Clan Rollmaster, Quaestor and most recently, Dark Voice Tribune. I've also served as an ACC Judge, Magistrate and various other unofficial positions.

My plan for Exar's Shadow is, quite simply, to prepare a force to wtfpwn the next GJW. At the same time, I also intend to groom my successor. I am a firm believer that someone of my rank and stature does not 'need' to be a Battleteam Leader or in any other position when a young member is equally capable of doing that same job. To that end, I'm accepting applications for my Flight Leaders, details are below. I also intend to fill my Battleteam with active members capable of competing in the GJW, details of which are also below.

One final note – my door is always open, you can find me on IRC with some variation of “Derev” and I can always be reached my email – [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

Flight Leaders

As I mentioned above, I'm going to be accepting applications for the two Flight Leaders of Exar's Shadow. Flight Leader is often an empty position, however, its my intent that these positions will be used as a training ground for my ultimate successor. They will run competitions, lead activities, and practice writing reports and other critical leadership skills.

Any member of the House may apply, regardless of time in service, rank, activity, etc. I asked our Quaestor to forward me the other applications for Battleteam Leader, and these openings are those three members to lose. That being said, I encourage anyone to apply if you think you have what it takes. I don't want elaborate applications, I want one paragraph about yourself (real life and Brotherhood), one paragraph about why I should pick you, and one paragraph about what you will do if you're selected to replace me as Battleteam Leader. No references, lists of achievements, or any of that. Send applications to myself, and I encourage you to CC your House Summit. (Members of HSK may apply, however, you need to tell me why you aren't pursuing leadership within your own house, and you are required to attain the approval of your House Summit before applying).

I'll announce my two selections on Sunday in my next report, so applications need to be in by Saturday.

Filling up the Battleteam

First of all, I would like every current member to send me a brief email with three items you excel at (be it gaming, writing, the ACC, mediating conflicts, completing SA exams, whatever), as well as three items you want to improve in (anything DB related). This is just so I can get to know you.

I do demand activity from my Battelteam, if you aren't “Active”, I wont allow you to hold a spot in the Battleteam from someone who desires to join. That being said, any members wishing to join Exar's Shadow should also send me an email with the same two items listed above.

GJW FTW!

As you should all be aware, we have a GJW on the horizon. I expect Exar's Shadow to make a strong showing, and I intend to help train members in any aspect of that I am able. There will be more on “GJW Boot Camp” in the future.

Conclusion

Once again, I'd like to thank our summit for appointing me, and I look forward to working with all of you. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, let me know. Any complaints, send them to Braecen :)
