Eli, Eli, Eli. What can be said about this awesome, hard-working, smart person? With a little over half a year as Rollmaster, he has done extensive revisions to the Clan’s wiki, helping to flesh out and improve its many pages at every turn. He managed to recruit an old crummy elder to the House that would later become PCON. With a caring hand and a good ear, he takes good care of his wards and ensures the day to day handling of our fine young recruits is as pleasant and directed as possible. Under his watch, we saw the rise of The Golden Girls, a trio of rising stars within the DJB. With his helping hand, they have risen beyond anyone’s wildest expectations.

Elincia’s level-headed assessment of situations is an irreplaceable boon to our leadership. He counsels me frequently as I deal with tense situation, a counsel without which I might just lose my temper. Above all else, he is a good friend to all and there are few who could rival his loyalty to his clan.

Here is to a long life within Clan Scholae Palatinae, and rising to lofty new heights together.

The voice of reason and wisdom, the smart guy, the logic. Our Rollmaster and resident counselor is a vital piece in the intricate pattern that is Scholae Palatinae.

Whenever you need to look for the most sensible and thoughtful answer, there is Eli. Whenever you need to find a solution for a problem, there is Eli. Whenever you need a mediator to find a middle point in an argument, well, guess who's there.

Eli is not just our own Shaolin Monk-turned-advisor, but also an excellent Rollmaster. Helpful in every way, mindful of all new members, he cares for all and guides them at all moments through their earlier ranks with an excellent approach.

And then there's the numbers, and the Feud, and whatnot! What does someone need to do to deserve a Steel Cross, I wonder? I think the best answer I could give is: be like Eli.

Be water, my friend.

ELincia Rei is a Leader without bounds. He has taken on the reigns of Rollmaster to bring about more members to this great Clan. He didn't stop there as he overhauled many of our wiki pages so that any journeyman or new recruit curiously looking about the depths of the Wiki, would have no problem of learning more about CSP. He is quick to ensure that everything and anything remains professional, work is done with expertise and the utmost integrity.

Eli is also very active in CSP, leading from the front, like every great leader should. He actively participates in every competition possible and has also been a part of the Clan Feud, aiding the glory of the Clan. Eli is quick to ensure that any member receives the best advice and care that he could possibly give. Eli is also part of a fiction workshop that aids members with fiction skills and provides assistance for anyone that wishes to advance their character development into more. Eli is an excellent Rollmaster and am sure that it will continue with more genius ideas to come. Congrats Eli!

I haven't know Eli for a long time, but he has always impressed me as an active presence in the Clan. His activity and deeds speak for themselves, but I got to see some of it firsthand in the Clan Feud. He really was a difference maker in helping CSP acquire victory over CNS, and I appreciate just how much he tried to crush them. His efforts to excel are commendable and he certainly excelled!

From a team perspective, Eli continues to serve the Clan well. He helps the younger members of the Clan excel, and shares with them wisdom to take their DJB careers to the next step. Roll master is an important position in a Clan and he does it well. I commend his continued efforts to guide the young ones through the Clan's ranks.

Overall, this is not only excellent service but great work. I recommend Eli for a well earned Steel Cross!

Congrats!! Drinks are on you!!

~AED Blade Ta'var

Since her promotion to the Equite bracket, Blade has served the purpose of my left-hand man. Through performing the same duties I do, such as motivate members, lead by example, generate new content and support inactive members as well as our BTL, she shines out excellently.

Most recently in the feud, it was our goal to push our hardest against everyone, give them a reason to do one more competition, game again or draw something down. She provided feedback, proofing, assistance in anyway she could, and garnered the thanks of the clan for it. Simply put, Imperium wouldn't has produced enough entries without her inspiring words and example.

Well done, Blade!

Quaestor of House Imperium

Blade was the standout performer in the clan feud, the only member of CSP to earn a place within the top three. She entered every single event, winning many. Her gaming record is savage, near-on unbeatable in JA. She's earned three diamond crescents since her last recognition 2 months ago.

Most impressive is that Blade has been able to do all of this without shirking her duties as Aedile of Imperium. Blade is a very welcome member on the summit team, and is always willing to provide her skills to help others, whether that be in fiction, where she has provided proof reading and advice to many in the clan, or in gaming, where she has been offering many hours of personal tutoring in the arts of JA.

Blade has been a dominant force for CSP and a fantastic addition to the summit.

Elincia

How often can you call someone a rising star before it sputters and loses its sheen? Something tells me even if that happened, Blade would find a way to wow us yet again. This lady makes rising stars seem dull by comparison. Devoted, focused, talented, everything she touches turns into gold. Early on, she led me to believe she was just a great JA player. Turns out she’s a great writer too. And a great leader. And wise. And. And. And. I could go on and on.

She was the top player in the Shattered Ties feud, earning top honors several times throughout the course of the vendetta. More than that, she constantly aids her clanmates. She has held countless JA training matches and always makes herself available to proofread others.

You simply cannot ask for a better member.

Rising star. There, said it again.

Congratulations, Lady Ta'var

My predecessor, whose shoes I had to fill. We sadly did not have a chance to work together or be appointed but his influence on CSP is obvious. He made a solid comeback during the Shattered Ties competition, establishing himself as a much needed cog in the CSP machine of War. Some of his submissions raked in top honours, something you have to respect.

Well done Eether!

Jorm will probably use this merit award to turn it into a thermal detonator... but that's exactly what we expect of him. He's a guy who always keeps pushing forward and has shown persistence, talent and initiative during the past months and the feud.

One of our most active members, we can always count on him when something is needed. I have more than once felt in need to create certain modification on some wiki article or use his encyclopedic knowledge on Star Wars vehicles to write something, and he was always there. In a way, I think he lives with a datapad attached to his arm in real life and an explosive in his opposite hand. If someone deserves an award, that is Jorm!

Good one Jormie, keep' em coming!

Jorm Na'Trej is a member in the house that is full of character. I left out the Jester there because of the various conversations that could be had with Jorm. From star wars canon ships to Cantina stories that Jorm runs into, his presence always brings more interest and camaraderie into a discussion. I could say like a teacher, that he is a pleasure to have in class but he is much more than that. Jorm has always been and continues to be an active member of the house, participating in everything that he possibly can. He has earned eleven crescents for his participation and his drive has not stopped nor do I think it will.

Jorm is a powerhouse member that is always there to both help in every way possible as well as joke around when members need to brighten the day. He is a one of kind character in this house and am glad he continues to be a part of it. Congratulations Jorm!

Jorm is a member I've had the privilege of working closely with during the house feud, as he was on my team for both the battleplan and the multimedia event, of which we won both. Jorm is always active on Telegram and always willing to jump into in depth discussions. Jorm is often highly critical and willing to point out flaws and areas for improvement, but only when these are valid. During our multimedia, Jorm pointed out many issues with my animation and story that I completely missed, and it would not have been such a high quality of work without him. Our battleplan submission was primarily his ideas and writing. Jorm may occasionally come off as abrasive in his criticism but it's always said to help, and that sort of differing opinion is extremely valuable, and we're lucky to have Jorm around, for helping us all to improve our own work while providing high quality competition submissions himself.

Elincia

You don’t get more active and present than this guy. From his insightful discussions on Telegram to his great efforts in the Shattered Ties vendetta, he is a hoot and an important member of CSP. He possesses a wide array of skills that allowed him to net several competition placements, and made him an important player in the aforementioned feud. This is the best kind of member you want to have in your clan.

Thank you for all your efforts! Keep at it. And bring me some pizza!

Congratulations Jorm!

While not the most hyperactive member in the clan, Rayne produces the goods when it matters. It is nearly 3 years since her last merit award, and since then she's done a great job of popping up with useful submissions when we've needed her, such as her ruby crescent in the feud and her pendants of blood.

I have not had the pleasure to meet this lady just yet, though others speak highly of her. That being said, the records show she has been active and involved, and is thus well deserving of a reward! Thank you for your hard work!

Alara Deathbane is an outstanding member of this House. She has been collaborating in the growth and operation of the Battleteam since its beginining. She was a highly valued participant in the Clan Feud, bringing in the points that would be needed to win it because every point of participation counts. But that is not all, as she was part of a multimedia team that took first place in that feud to bring in a victory.

Alara's attitude to do more for the clan has been a stellar drive for this house and I am sure it will continue with not just in the Battleteam but in the house and clan as a whole. I recommend an AC for Alara Deathbane based on her achievements in the house and club wide. Congrats Alara on a job well done!

Alara has once again proved that she determined to exceed in Scholae Palatinae, and especially in Battle Team Tacitus Athanasius. She's always ready to help me come up with ideas for the team as well as create new competitions for everyone to do. Though RL tends to keep her busy, she does what she can to find time to get competitions in for events, help with battleteam, and plan character development. She constantly does her best to make time to chat with everyone on Telegram, making it clear she still wishes to be active in Scholae. She's a hard worker, a creative thinker, and is absolutely someone who strives to do her best at what she does. A huge congrats, Alara! You've more than deserved this, Sergeant.

Alara has gone through a quiet period in terms of activity but has recently burst back on to the scene with a stellar performance in the house feud, a valuable member of the first place winning multimedia team, amassing 11 competition entries, many of which have earned crescents. She's also finished 2 ACC battles, and has been a battleteam Sergeant for 4 months, during which team she's contributed some very creative competition ideas, which are still running. In addition to that, she's maintained her bright presence on telgram and brings joy to the other members of the clan.

Elincia

Always a welcome face in CSP chat, Alara is an outstanding member. A hard worker who regularly helps out her battleteam, and a hard worker who does not shy away from a good fight like the recent Shattered Ties vendetta. She gave her all and greatly elevated CSP’s chances of winning by doing so. Such excellent membership deserves a good reward!

Well done Alara!
