Pandala D. Howlader, for your most awesome work during the first Phase of the Crusade I am hereby requesting you to be awarded with a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. You have pushed yourself beyond what dedication to your House should look like, participating in a total of 17 out of 17 events in three months of the Crusade as well as helping Sid and myself at keeping track of members activity. Thank you Howie. Obelisk Prelate Rian Aslar Quaestor of House Taldryan

What can somebody say about the Panda? I could say a lot, and almost none of it would be flattering. But what I will say instead, is the extreme value of Howlader to Taldryan. Despite his protestations to the contrary, Howlader has been by far one of the most outstanding members Taldryan has had in the past few years. Despite having no long history within the House, Howie has taken to Tal like a duck to water, and in his weaker moments even he will admit just how deeply he cares for Taldryan, and how much he wishes it to succeed.

His depth of feeling has been more than backed up by actions though. Participating in every event that has been offered in the Crusade, Howlader’s position as one of the most active members in the Dark Brotherhood is completely cemented. His constant advice, mentoring, and activity on IRC has made Howlader one of the most approachable, and accessible members and Taldryan, and he has worked hard to include younger members of the Dark Brotherhood into conversations and encouraged them to be active in many ways throughout the DB, beyond even the Dark Crusades.

More recently, Howlader has further upped the ante by attempting to help one of Taldryan’s young journeymen through the trials toward earning Dark Jedi Knight, and has recently begun work on a project that will help streamline and encourage more activity and hopefully, promotions, of Taldryan’s newest members.

All of this is of course done, knowing that he has nearly nothing to gain from his activity, but a deep seeded love for the Dark Brotherhood, and Taldryan. It’s with that knowledge in mind, that I would like to recommend Dark Jedi Master Howlader be awarded a Grand Cross of the Dark Side, to let him know that all of his tremendous hard work is appreciated.

What can be said about Howie that wasn’t said about Panda poachers the years over? The insane little man went max for every single event during the Crusades. He screamed his way out of a disqualification which was based on poor judgement, all the while encouraging (or pestering?) all of the new kids to do as much as they possibly can for his adopted home.

I say adopted home because Howie doesn’t usually hail from Taldryan, yet upon his return to activity in the DB he most definitely fit with its mindset and culture of perseverance, excellence, and a strong dislike of idiocy. With those values as the driving force, Howie has gone above and beyond what is expected of an old, inactive, useless OFHer, and done more activities in the Crusades than most leaders from other units. I would say he deserves a promotion to Dark Prophet, but that seems like a long shot; give him a Grand Cross instead!

What can I say about Howie to make the intro to the recommendation near identical to the last two? To say that Howlader is one of, if not, the top performer for Taldryan during the Crusade is a little shocking. To say that someone I didn't know, but for brief mentions and glimpses during my initial time in the Brotherhood, is out performing all of Taldryan's old veterans is quite shocking; and that would be putting it mildly. The fact that Howlader didn't fight for Taldryan's creation or grow from it like many of us have is no secret, and yet he is fighting harder for the House now, when it needs it most, than most of us have managed. This is a fact that makes me extremely proud to be a member of Taldryan, and extremely happy to have someone fight so hard for something I love so much.

I haven't even mentioned the facts that he has had a perfect level of participation, has helped members edit their entries, has encouraged everyone he can to fight for Taldryan's cause, and he has advised our leaders on important issues. The only bad thing I have to say about Howie is that I met him so much later than so many others did. With great appreciation I hereby recommend Howlader for a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Thank you for everything you've done for Taldryan. OE Chaosrain Taldrya Original Bryar Pimp Dossier #3931
