Primary reason

Sight is one of the guys who makes up the core of a unit. You know what I’m talking about -- guys who are reliable, who are always looking for something to do. Sight does it all, gaming and writing with the best of him, providing a constant presence on IRC, and providing leadership from the middle-tier ranks. Sight has more than 1,500 Clusters and 9 Pendants of Blood since his last merit medal, and he just tore through Operation: Figureheads, winning the whole competition. He’s one of Arcona’s most talented ACCers, and he’s mentored a number of our younger members.

The leadership mid-level Equites provide is one of the most underrated factors in a unit’s success, and Sight provides it in copious amounts. He’s been a boon to Esca in Nighthawk, and has demonstrated himself to be more than capable of filling Andrelious’ enormous shoes as Rollmaster. I’m really excited to see what he accomplishes in his new gig. His exploits of the past few months have been thrilling, and he has done more than enough to earn this Grand Cross. Congrats, Sight!

Additional reasons

Man’s got an eyepatch IRL. Totally enough reason to get some medal swag.

In all seriousness, though, Sight amazes me. He has never once stopped moving since he came to us. To say that he’s an utterly insane gamer just doesn’t touch it. To say that he’s constantly here, present, and active among his clanmates just doesn’t touch it. To say that he’s a wrecking ball in competitions and the champion of our recent Clan event just doesn’t touch it. He’s not perfect, but damn if he isn’t one of our best, most stalwart players. He made it into the top half of the Fading Light ACC bracket, fighting his way through 7 ACC matches up against some of the best writers in the club for an impressive total of 14 posts. He has innumerable amounts of Clusters of Fire and Pendants of Blood, as some of the others will tell you. Besides that, he’s ceaselessly supporting his Battleteam, his House, and his Clan, once as a mentor and member, now as our new Rollmaster.

The Grand Cross is used to reward someone who acts as a pinnacle of activity amidst their brethren as well as someone who demonstrates great drive and ingenuity in their position. I can confidently say that though Sight is new to the Rollmaster’s chair, his advancements and innovations for his work are simply stunning, and he has more than displayed the kind of exertion worthy of accolades.

Congratulations, Sight. You’ve more than earned this, and I can’t wait to see what else you’ll accomplish (and hopefully, you’ll be able to see it too :P). Stay epic, my friend.

I am honoured to be recommending Sight for this Grand Cross of the Dark Side. He has been an active and dedicated member of Clan Arcona and House Galeres. Showing a constant level of activity and devotion to the club and continuing to develop not only himself but those around him and getting them involved.

Since joining the house Sight has been active and driven always asking for work to complete. Always offering assistance to new and old members alike to help them develop their character or even just expand their knowledge of the brotherhood. Recently in the Clan Wide event that myself and Valtiere ran it was a common sight to see Sight participating in everything, leading from the front without a single complaint. Throwing everything he had into the event without any nudge or push towards doing so. Truly having a huge impact on the event and the way the balance swayed not to mention the medals he racked up. Now Sight has stepped up once more, inside of the Clan to fulfill the role of Clan Rollmaster, putting the work he has done or others to a position he now has.

Congratulations on this medal Sight, your hard work and activity has been outstanding lately and of the top form. I look forward to seeing what you bring to your new position and the new members coming into the Brotherhood.

I don’t even know where to begin with Sight Nortorshin. This man has been the shining light in Nighthawk and Arcona as of late from the sheer amount of gaming he has accomplished so far this quarter, to his ascension to Clan Rollmaster. With an astounding 1,526 Clusters of Fire this quarter alone, he shot straight to the top of the GMRG leaderboards the second he hit GMRG X. If general gaming wasn’t enough, Sight has managed to participate in an astounding 22 competitions since his last merit, 3 of which being all the Nighthawk competitions thus far (placing in all three!). Medals and recognition, galore! Sight has also managed to net himself a total of 9 Pendants of Blood for various gaming activity, either through max leveling characters in D3, top participation in Gorefest, or completing club first achievements through the FIST office. As if all the above wasn’t enough, 12 crescents showing his high activity with competitions are under his belt, complemented by 8 Seals of the Crusader for Dark Crusade participation and 20 Clusters of Ice for fiction excellence. This man is a Brotherhood wide sensation!

Within Nighthawk, Sight has assisted in creating information for the Nighthawk wiki pages by writing drafts of fictional combat action that will be implemented to give a better feel of the BT and crew as well as mentoring Nighthawk’s very own Battleteam Sergeant to Dark Jedi Knight and receiving his first Scroll of the Master for it. He is on IRC daily, always offering a helping hand to members both in and out of the Clan when it comes to gaming or cluster farming in Diablo 3 and has recently accomplished a perfect submission count in the recent Operation: Figureheads by having a 100% participation in all events AND coming in 1st overall for individual placement.

Everything listed above shows exemplary activity that sets him above his peers. The fact that he is able to do all of this while also handling two children under the age of 6 at home and being a full time student is nothing less than a seriously impressive feat. So all in all, Sight Nortorshin is more than deserving of the Brotherhood’s highest medal of merit for all the hard work and dedication he puts forth to his Battleteam, House, Clan and Brotherhood. Thank you so much for what you do, my friend. Keep up the phenomenal effort and enjoy your first, but hopefully not last, Grand Cross of the Dark Side.
