Since joining the DJB back in January Kanis has been tearing up the Shadow Academy, participating in Dark Crusade Events, and even organized an event for the Independence Games. In his first 10 days of membership Kanis completed a total of ten Shadow Academy Courses, and continued on to complete three more over the later weeks. He was active in the March Phase of the Dark Crusade, participating in the Advanced Recon (Graphics) and Training Encryption (SA) Competitions. Continuing on to recent events Kanis participated in the Independence Games Competition - "Strippers are people too..." and also organized the Independence Games Competition - "Earthly Exchange", which had 3 submissions entered for it. It is my pleasure to congratulate Kanis on earning this Anteian Cross, a much overdue Merit Medal for this member.

The Anteian Cross is awarded to those who have shown consistent and dedicated service to one’s Battleteam or House. They do this by displaying a greater than average amount of activity over a period of several weeks that includes participation in projects, events, or competitions.

Since his last promotion and major award, Kanis has been active in participating in events by earning 3 crescents and 10 CFs. He has also been busy in the Shadow Academy by earning his Maven in Combat and passing his ACC Fundamentals to help push him to Society Rank IV!

Following the conclusion of the Dark Crusade, Kanis was one of the few who put together a proposition for a new Battleteam in House Qel-Droma. He has stepped up in a huge way in taking on a role when he has no prior leadership experience to go on. Regardless, Kanis went right to work in assembling his team, drawing his friends that he recruited close and working with them on creating a fictional background for their team; Shadow Phyle. They got their wiki page up and running quicker than I had expected, and really impressed me with their initiative. Kanis even organized and ran a competition that challenged members to design a logo for the team. This level of organization and dedication to the team is endearing as a member of the upper summit to see ideas being executed on the entry level.

Despite some things coming up in his real life that affected his full participation, Kanis was right there urging his team on in e-mails and in whatsapp. In the latest Operation: Sojourn, Kanis was able to earn 16 points, enough to place him at 25th overall in individual scores. His team joined him by combining for 94 total points to edge out a 5th/8th place team placement out the gate as a brand new team filled with Journeyman and new members. This is what leadership is all about, and when you talk to his members you can see that they really look up to him and that he is their beacon when it comes to being active.

Congratulations, Kanis! Keep up the good work.

It’s not easy being busy and wanting to be as active as you want to be in the Brotherhood. Over the times I’ve talked to Kanis, despite his busy schedule, he always makes sure that he devotes time to the club and Arcona.

Over the last year, Kanis has still been able to participate in competitions and come out of the majority of them with an award. These wins have gotten him five Crescents and the fiction competitions he has entered has won him a total of 40 Clusters of Ice. Playing games on the side, he has also managed to win 13 Clusters of Fire and 5 Clusters of Earth. The 22 Seals of the Crusader and Seal of Revelation also show his devotion to participating in competitions, even on the little time he has. And even through all of that, Kanis received a Scroll of the Master for getting his student, Adi Ka'Taramas to Dark Jedi Knight.

For all of his hard work, I gladly recommend Kanis for an Anteian Cross.
