Medal Request: Grand Cross Nathaniel (129)

Nathaniel has been a wonderful asset to House Acclivis Draco, and Scholae Palatinae, since joining us in September. He participated in many events for the CSP vs. Arcona feud, tying for third for number of events for House Acclivis Draco, and as the creator of the Sixth Great Jedi War, he has done an excellent job in providing advice to the Summits.

The Rite of Supremacy has brought out the best from Nathaniel. First, he talked with the Clan Summit about a vendetta strategy and then created a web survey for members to take so that we, as a Clan, can understand our strengths, weaknesses, and where we can focus. Next, he created a vendetta guide, primarily aimed for younger members who haven't participated in a wide-scale vendetta, but applicable to older members too, that contained all the information one needs to know about vendettas. What really impressed me was that the guide contained information about vendetta strategy, something that I had never heard about ever before.

During the RoS, he encouraged other members to participate and propelled himself forward into the fiction events, earning first overall in the fiction event, and came in eleventh throughout the entire DJB.

When he first approached me about a leadership position in Acclivis Draco, I admit that I was skeptical at first because I didn't really know him, however, now that I have seen what he can do, and how he does it, I offered him the empty Aedile position. He accepted, and I expect great things to come out of his office.

Thank you for everything you have done Nathaniel. Congratulations on your award. :)

RevengeX Palpatine Quaestor of House Acclivis Draco

-----------------------------

Nathaniel is a longtime ally of Scholae Palatinae and it was no surprise that he joined the ranks of Scholae Palatinae once he stepped down from the position of Lord Hegemon. His arrival was heralded as a major boon to the Clan Major and he has not fallen short on those expectations.

Clan Scholae Palatinae recently attained the honor of Second Clan in the Brotherhood Vendetta "Rites of Supremacy: Second Darkness" compiling 330 Clan points - outstripping four rival Clans to affirm their right as an Elite Clan. For contributions, participation and tenacity to ensure the Clan's wartime efforts... I recognize Nathaniel's effort. Compiling 195 individual points in the MP Gaming, Fiction & Debate Events and taking the rank of 11th Overall in the Vendetta.

I could reiterate on Revenge's comments about Nathaniel's crucial assistance during the Vendetta, but I will divulge on my personal insight on how it affected the Clan... Nathaniel's immediate interest in helping the Clan overcome past tribulations was easily recognizable. He worked by my side to quickly establish a sense of control and direction - something that was lacking in our previous Vendetta efforts - and we quickly went to work tapping the necessary resources to prepare our war band for the Rites of Supremacy. This sense of direction, calm and dedication would - eventually - resonate throughout the Clan and excel it to domination of four rival Clans.

Nathaniel - while we fell short of our true intention, it was my honor to work with you and create a positive environment, stimulate activity (throughout the entire Clan), provide necessary insight and mentorship to our members and act as catalysts to Scholae Palatinae's recent resurrection.

Additionally, our resident Sith Master has provided insight, direction and feedback as a member of the CSP Senate since his coming to the Clan. His council, guidance and ingenuity have played into several of my decisions as to where the Clan is growing. This is but a small token of our appreciation and acknowledgement of his contributions.
