I don’t have a Deputy CM, but if I did, the job would belong to Atra. Atra is my right hand and go to for the ACC. He has not just spent time grading, but also listening to the things I say, the reports I write, and even the judgements I make. If I had to step down right now, I’d feel confident knowing Atra was there. Period.

Since his let merit of recognition (Sapphire Blade), Atra has spent the last 3 months in his joint roll as ACC Judge and Praetor to the Voice. I mention this only to highlight how impactful his energy is to the ACC among everything else he does for the CM/Voice teams.

As a Judge during this time period, Atra has judged 9 matches and 5 Qualification exams. Atra was also a proof reader and consultant on the new Martial Arts form wikipedia page. He has posted 3 newspost to help spread knowledge about the Character Sheets and changes to them, and is the leading force for getting new Species added to the system. Atra also goes through the system on the backend and fixes typos or coding syntax errors as he sees them. He does this without being told and on his own initiative, making him an invaluable centerpiece to the Voice and Combat Master teams.

As a member, Atra leads by example and has completed 14 courses and earned 3 Degrees. He's earned 101 Clusters of Fire, 12 Cluster's of Ice, and 2 Scrolls of the Master.

Pretty awesome accomplishments for a 3 month time period. That's just the kind of leader and member Atra is. This is a starting point for more things to come, and I am confident I will be writing up another recommendation for Atra in due team.

Rhace (hereafter referred to properly as "Kiwi") was a force of nature on the Hand to Hand guide. He had started work with the former Grand Master and was able to come to me with a document that summed up all the work previous--a document that was 31,000 words and roughly 60 pages of content.

He then took the daunting task of editing down that content into my outline for how I wanted to approach the new forms. Kiwi was able to trim down the content into this format. He then listened to my feedback and edited it some more. He created the new Martial Arts Feats as well, addressing an area of the CS's we had neglected previously. He was always active on name-changes for forms and was a part of the major discussions that went into the final product.

Kiwi was the heart of this project and was invaluable for the amount of time and research he put into it. Thank you, Kiwi, for your support, patience, and diligence with this endeavor. The ACC Staff appreciates it.

Arden was an original hand on the former Grand Master's Hand to Hand revamp. He had started work on that project and was a major contributor to a document that summed up all the work previous--a document that was 31,000 words and roughly 60 pages of content.

Arden was diligent in proofreading and fact-checking. He was engaged and involved in every discussion, offered insight from various angles, and helped ensure that the final product had as much tweaking from alternative points of view as possible. He was a big factor in coming up with new Canon-friendly names for the new forms, and overall was a big creative boon to the project as a whole.

Thank you for your work, Arden. The ACC Staff appreciates the assistance.

K'tana was invaluable in going through the Venues 2.5 Google Document and proof reading all of the Venue's before they were posted/added to the database. This included re-writing Jakku--one of our marque venues--from scratch, and editing the Syntax and formatting errors present. This included editing and changing tense issues with how the venue descriptions were actually written, which allowed me instead to focus on checking image aspects and updating the database on the administrative end with the confidence things were examined with a critical eye.

Thank you for your hard word, K'tana. The ACC Staff appreciates it.

A'lora took on a monumental task. The ACC Venue database was, for lack of a better descriptor, an unorganized mess. When I started work on CS 2.0, Venues came up repeatedly, but were pushed to the back-burner. Despite this, A'lora took it on himself to come up with a unified way of designing each venue in terms of format and visual presentation.

A'lora was able to create a Google Drive folder of Venue images that he placed into a custom-made filter to add uniformity to each of the images. He has taken any image thrown at him and applied the filter, which are now serving as assets for each venue description. It was his idea to use a unified naming structure: [Planet] [:] [Area/Section of Planet] *. He went through all the existing venues and put them into a google Document called **Venues 2.5* which was a reference to post-CS 2.0 development we had spoken about almost a year ago.

A'lora edited and highlighted errors for existing venues while authoring a huge chunk of his own. The document itself amounted to roughly 15,000 words and 40 pages worth of content.

On top of this, A'lora has continued to identify typos or formatting concerns and brings them to my attention. He has really functioned as a honorary magistrate to the Combat Master, so for this I am happy to award this merit medal of recognition.

You can see the fruits of his labors here on the ACC Venue database list.

Since his last promotion, Acolyte Lucifer Romanov has earned no less than 112 Clusters of Earth and 33 Clusters of Fire for his superb gaming activities. Lucifer participated in 11 competitions, earned one Crescent with Amethyst, two Crescents with Ruby Star and is even hosting his own DB wide fiction competition. On top of all that, Lucifer is an accomplished writer, earning 4 Clusters of Ice so far.

Lucifer also recruited Jeviete and she has already reached the rank of Neophyte. He is a great guy to be around on Telegram, a platform in which he keeps a constant presence.

It is my pleasure to present Lucifer Romanov with his first Anteian Cross. Congratulations!
