All too often, we see members get to PRT, GRD, or JH and burnout, losing interest in the club right as things are really going to take off. As a Rollmaster, this is a problem I'm acutely aware of and one that I work hard to overcome. As Raiju, his Master, says much better in his own recommendation below, however, this is not a problem we have with Garloaf, as he's aware that it's truly the slow and steady that win the race. We all complain from time to time about our RLs, but Garloaf is one that works within the confines he has to and yet still produces results - since his last promotion over a year ago, four Crescents, a Legion of the Scholar, and a Dark Cross speak wonderfully to that. I am proud to see Garloaf continue to keep his nose to the grindstone, and I am honored to recommend him for promotion to the rank of Jedi Hunter. Congrats!

It has been just over a year since Garloaf’s last promotion, which surpasses the time requirement, and I am even more excited now to write this recommendation as I was a year ago. Garloaf is an interesting character in club in comparison to how I have experienced Journeymen. Often, I run into JM that burst in with energy and scope up all the activities they can; however, more often than not these same JM enter into the Equite class and burn out because they aren’t properly prepared for the long game that is the DJB.

Garloaf, I believe, won’t have this problem.

Garloaf is a slow burn, but dependable source of energy. He’s dedicated to the House he serves, as has been proven in the activities he’s stepped up to provide for his brethren - whether it be for his direct benefit or (more importantly) not. He hosted competitions before for his promotion requirement but also just for the good of the house and that was what earned him his first merit award - satisfying another promotion requirement. Besides just being a content provider, Garloaf has also been a consumer (satisfying the competitions requirements with 15 submissions) and through his talent has earned a combined total of six 1st and 2nd place finishes (satisfying two additional requirements). Furthermore, his participation in the Shadow Academy has earned him a third tier rank within the society and he makes sure to pop on IRC when he’s RL allows him. In the past year he has come to satisfy the promotion requirements to Jedi Hunter, and again I think it’s important to note that he’s a long game player. Garloaf takes his advancement in the DJB one step at a time, figuring out the different aspects of this club in their entirety before moving onto another platform. And therefore I think Garloaf is already ready for the challenge that is the Equite ranks and I can’t wait to get him through the last huddle that is Jedi Hunter before he can be unleashed on that class group. Making the DJB work with his RL commitments, having a high level of patience and determination, as well as being both an active content provider and consumer are all the markings of an Equite member. So it’s my pleasure to recommend Garloaf to Jedi Hunter, just so we can get him onto DJK and then to his rightful place in the Equites.

Garloaf is one of those members that stands out amidst the darkness. Tarentum has received a wonderful person with Garloaf, who displays consistent activity and positive attitude in everything he does. Whenever Tarentum needed him, he was there. Whether it was participating in Fading Light or doing competitions within the House, Garloaf stepped up and left his mark. When we needed someone to run a trivia competition, it was Garloaf who volunteered and ran the competition.

From my experience with Garloaf, he treats everyone with the same respect he’d like from others. He’s a great guy, and we here in Tarentum are very lucky to have him. It is my pleasure and privilege to ask that we promote Garloaf to Jedi Hunter. Congrats man!

Garloaf has been a relatively quiet and under-the-radar member of Tarentum. I have not personally had a great deal of contact with him except to see the automated emails regarding SA courses completed, crescents awarded, and more recently his desire to move on to doing more within the House. He has helped to run several competitions and was able to do so with a very minimal amount of assistance. He is a prime example of the fact that you don’t have to make a lot of waves to be successful in the Dark Brotherhood. I look forward to seeing the next few phases of his advancement, which are when members need to begin expanding their spheres of influence and growing beyond the confines of their unit.

We are proud to have Garloaf in Tarentum, and I am honored to be able to recommend him for promotion to the rank of Jedi Hunter. Great work, and congratulations!
