Tarvitz has been a steady rock for Odan-Urr for some time, always willing to provide his valuable time and energy to make his Clan a better place. Shortly into my term as Consul, he took up the mantle of leadership. To no one’s surprise, his commitment to Odan-Urr has been unshakeable through thick and thin. For a combined period of 6 months as Aedile, he led both House Hoth and House Sunrider during a period of great change for the Clan, providing his members with a steady leader to depend on. Moreover, whenever he was called forward to fill in for his Quaestor, he did so admirably, always willing to take the initiative and get things done. In addition, his projects, his contributions to clan and house initiatives, stellar activity, and willingness to individually reach out to members have made me incredibly proud.

The obvious out of the way, Tarvitz has been an incredibly active leader, leading from the front in more than one way. He has participated in 165 competitions, earning himself a ton of awards in the process. They include: 3 Gold Nova, 1 Bronze Nova, 3 Crescents with Diamond Star, 11 Crescents with Ruby Star, 30 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 20 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 3 Crescents with Emerald Star, 6 Crescents with Topaz Star, 201 Clusters of Ice, 61 Clusters of Graphite, 20 Seals of Wrath, and 24 Seals of Fury. For gaming, he has participated in 7 PvP matches and 18 PvE matches, earning himself 288 Clusters of Fire and 1 Pendant of Blood. He has also completed 2 ACC Battles, 13 Run On posts worth 12,146 words, and his fiction activities have netted him 70,988 words! He has completed 8 SA courses, was awarded a Dark Side Scroll, and is an active presence in news posts with 33 comments and 7 news reports for his Houses. Lastly, his performance in the most recent Great Jedi War was exemplary, participating in every bin and leading from the front in terms of competition and being an excellent cheerleader for COU in both emails and Telegram.

Upon taking up the mantle of Aedile, Tarvitz embarked on an ambitious wiki update project, which regardless of its original scope came to encompass not only his houses but clan pages as well a few DB ones. He added 18,930 words of added content, updated the wiki for 6 fleet updates (2 major, 4 minor), provided a wiki update for the release of Creatures, and executed 67 minor updates to various Odan-Urr pages as well as some DB ones. His special contributions list goes across several pages but to give you the full picture, it is my pleasure to list them out. He did work on the following pages: Solyiat, Notable Fauna: Trepus, Notable Fauna: Strokera, RoS wiki page, Odanite Expeditionary Force, House Hoth, Rohlan’s Vision, Knights of Allusis, Fort Pernicar, The Wildcards, Scimitar of Lord Hoth, Idiots Array, Okami, Pride of Owyhyee, GJW XII wiki page, Halls of the Watchmen, Arca Praxeum, Ishanta, Arx Wolf, Meridian Space Station, Vauzem Dominion, Vatali Empire, Kiast (Planet), Severian Principate, House Sunrider, House Shan, Tython Squadron, Trepus Mine, Sky Breach Base, Allusis Leaders Template, Disciples of Baas, Kaerls, and Proxia Mutirion. His updates span from historical pages all the way up to the present. He has made a huge impact on our wiki pages that will be felt for some time. I can confidently say that Tarvitz was Odan-Urr’s wiki superhero and I am eternally grateful.

In addition to his wiki project above, Tarvitz also worked on a number on team projects. First, he helped create the new Sunrider Fleet, which consisted of a complete rebuild for both space and ground forces. It also included the solicitation of feedback from House Sunrider itself in the form of competitions that build up energy for the new House. Second, he helped with the House Reorganization Project, the biggest since Odan-Urr’s original creation. His participation in group dialogue and his critical feedback helped shape what would become Sunrider. Third, he helped shaped Odan-Urr’s Coalitions, a fictional tool that will be very important for Odan-Urr moving forward. His participation in group dialogue/feedback and his cheerleading efforts to get others to engage with it not only helped shape what it would become but also its early adoption.

In summary, it is my pleasure to recommend that Tarvitz be promoted to Equite 3 with all the rewards that come with it. He has more than earned it and I’m incredibly proud of his contributions to Odan-Urr as a leader on my Summit. He has made a lasting impact on his Clan and I expect there is more to follow in the future. Thank you so very much. In the words of MC Hammer, ‘Can’t Touch This’.

I can’t account much for Tarvitz’s numbers, but I have found him to be impossibly effective as an Aedile. Unfortunately due to work, I was unable to do much during the war, but Tarvitz was willing to take the lead on leadership work during the war and was quite effective at it. He offered support to COU members, was often staying up late to assist in proofreading or trying to participate himself. His work and aid were invaluable during the war, but didn’t end there. After the war, he took it upon himself to update a lot of the COU wiki to reflect the changes that have taken place since House Sunrider was formed. I can not understate how I would pass out for a night and wake up to another section of updates he had finished. Working with him has been an honor, and I am glad to see him granted the rank of Equite 3.

Tarvitz has been a rock to Clan Odan-Urr. While some people only see his spur of the moment actions, you must look deeper with this man. Since he got himself on his feet as a Knight, Tarvitz has reached out to help many new joins wading around in Clan or House chat if one of the Summit members or I was unable to. This even before becoming part of the Clan Summit. Tarvitz always pushes himself to be the best and I have had that pleasure many times on many teams over the last year or so. While none of them were Novae winning, his dedication to completing and winning while having fun are second to none. While we may not always see eye to eye on everything, I am honored to call Ka Tarvitz a friend. It is my pleasure to append my name to this recommendation for Tarvitz for promotion to Equite 3. Congratulations my friend, welcome to the EQ3 Club!
