Teylas has been my Praetor for almost two and a half years now, and it has been just about a year and a half since his last recognition for all the fantastic work he does every single day for the Master at Arms office. The MAA Office is a little different from other DC offices, our large projects (or even any projects) come once every few years – and little projects are once or twice a year. The real work of the MAA Office comes in the day to day work of approving and denying medal requests, processing appointments and resignations, managing competitions (and manually editing competitions) – and knowing the nuances of our database to make competitions work (for instance, switching competition archetypes to allow manual addition of participants, and then switching it back). The biggest contribution Teylas’ has made, and truly – every magistrate, praetor and MAA makes – are the discussions that occur among the staff about medals and promotions. That happens with every single sacramental award (and many of the merit), every equite and higher promotion – that is where the bulk of the work occurs. And for Teylas? He does it in spades.

Teylas has offered opinions on medal or promotion recommendations that are sometimes in line with my own to verify my own lack of senility. Sometimes though, he demonstrates that I am off my game – or I have not considered a position or opinion. Or sometimes? Sometimes I am just flat out wrong – and Teylas points it out and corrects me. For all of that? I am forever grateful.

In his time in the MAA Office, Teylas has processed hundreds of promotion, medal, and competition approvals and denials (mostly approvals). He has manually edited many competitions when people made a mistake (or when one of us does), he has helped write reports, policy changes (spoiler alert: new ones are coming soon), and he has attempted to (and he has succeeded) guide a new generation of DBers in how to medal well, how to promote well, and how to host competitions well. In short? Teylas has been a model Praetor – and I look forward to his assistance as we move on towards the next large scale Master of Arms project – and our continuing efforts to make the Brotherhood’s recognition system more effective, more far, and more inclusive for our membership.

For Teylas’ efforts over the past year and a half in making our system work better – it is my pleasure to award him this green stabby thing. Congratulations!

During his time with Clan Plagueis, Teylas was always an asset whether he had a formal leadership position or not. He’s always stepped up to the plate to do things when things needed doing and we’re all grateful for that. During his most recent stint in clan leadership, Teylas took on the role of Rollmaster in which he served as an advisor to the clan summit. His insight was invaluable as always and helped us along into a Great Jedi War.

Teylas’ most important recent contribution to Clan Plagueis came not in a formal leadership role, but in helping to run a major event. The ‘Pro Bowl’ has not only become a staple of Clan Plagueis, but is slowly becoming more popular outside the clan as well. In it’s most recent iteration, which included Clans Taldryan and Scholae Palatine, Teylas took point on the execution of the three week long event. His attention to detail made sure the event ran smoothly despite having a large number of both events and participants. Teylas directly managed a week of the event while also guiding the other co-organizers in their portions of the event. He helped make this most recent Pro Bowl the best event in the series so far and one that we’ll remember for a long time.

In closing, I just want to reiterate that no matter what capacity he happens to be in at the time, Teylas was always an asset to the clan and I, for one, still appreciate that. He fully deserves all the accolades he receives and want to thank him again for his efforts.

Teylas has been my Praetor for almost a year now, and in that time he’s done everything he’s been asked to do, and more importantly? A lot more that I have not needed to ask him for. One of things that people tend to struggle with club wide when writing medal and promotion recommendations is describing what people have actually done – they say that a member has excelled as a Battleteam Leader – but give us on the MAA staff no indication of what that actually means – and more importantly, what actual things have done. One of the things I’ve tried to do is ask people: “You have a thought process as to why you think your member has earned something, tell us” – so to that end, I have a thought process as to why Teylas has been a great Praetor over the past almost year.

Since becoming Praetor, Teylas has helped re-write the following policy documents: Promotion Guidelines, and the MAA Policies document. The latter is what I will focus on, when I came into the chair, there were a number of disparate (and somewhat neglected) policy documents floating on the Brotherhood Wiki. The information about titles (clan, war, other) for example, was spread across multiple documents, with duplication in some cases – and inconsistent information in others. With Teylas’ invaluable assistance, we were able to consolidate all the existing Master at Arms policy documents into one all-encompassing wiki page. He has also helped me write all of my publically posted Master at Arms reports, devoting sections or helping me construct rants.

Teylas has also been invaluable in keeping the Master at Arms Office with its impressively short turn-around time for requests that come into the database, or that come in as emailed requests (when people remember to email him!). Since becoming Praetor, he has processed over 400 requests into our database, approximately 50 manual updates to competitions, and processed about 300 competitions.

Teylas has done well for the Master at Arms Office over the past almost year, and I have full confidence that when I go on vacation (or I live at work for weeks at a time) – he will be able to handle it and nobody will notice …because he already does handle it. I’m more than happy to award him a Red Club for his work! Thank you, and congratulations!

Ever since I took over as Consul earlier this year after he stepped down, Teylas has continued to be a strong and consistent presence in Clan Plagueis. Both as a leader and an active member, he's shined while doing things that those other members without a full time Praetor gig for the hardest office in the Brotherhood could not. He's also been a solid and irreplaceable leader from his place in the trenches, always there to offer advice to both me and his fellow Clan members.

In the realm of general activity, Teylas has, to use the vernacular, wrecked face. Since his last recognition in January, he has participated in 52 competitions and placed in ten of them. Those placements netted him 1 Gold Nova, 1 Ruby Crescent, 2 Amethyst Crescents, and 3 Crescents each of Sapphire and Topaz. Stepping up during major competitions has also been his forte. Teylas entered 22 competitions during our Enemy Below event, placing in three while taking 11th place overall. During the recently completed Twelfth Great Jedi War, Teylas entered 12 events (earning 12 Seals of Wrath), helped our RO team take first place for the second GJW in a row, and earned the 4th most points of any Plagueian. He has also earned 7 Clusters of Ice, 110 Clusters of Earth, and 22 Clusters of Graphite. Not bad for a guy who spends most of his time remanding recommendations!

It is as a peer leader, however, that Teylas has really made his mark on Plagueis. He has been an active part of most summit discussions, bringing his perspective and advice to the table. Even more importantly than this, however, was his help during our pre-GJW Plagueis Pro Bowl, this time featuring Taldryan. With the Great Jedi War delayed, Plagueis was looking for an event to maintain interest and capitalize on the drive for activity our members were feeling. Knowing that we were searching for something to make sure our members didn't feel like they'd been promised a Vendetta and left with nothing, Teylas volunteered to run our second annual Pro Bowl event in the interim along with Dracaryis. He didn't even flinch when we added Clan Taldryan to the mix, massively increasing his workload overnight. Teylas organized 16 competitions and co-organized 4 more, grading or entering scores for the lion's share of 473 total entries. This event was a much needed activity for both Plagueis and Taldryan, and helped begin to forge a relationship between the two units. Without Teylas's tireless efforts, it is unlikely that the event would have taken place as it did.

His work as both member and mentor have been without peer over the course of 2017, and Plagueis would not be the place that it is without his efforts. Congratulations!
