In the time spanning Plagueis’s most recent major competitions, Arden has been one of the most consistent and active members of our clan. His efforts in both competition participating and mentoring over that time have done a great service to our clan that is worthy of recognition.
First, during the six week run of our Between Light and Dark vendetta event against Clan Odan-Urr Arden really shined. He participated in seven of the eleven available events while placing in five of them. He took second place in Battleplan and Week II Fiction, third place in Week I Puzzle and Week I Fiction, and tenth place in Week II Gaming (earning himself 2 ruby crescents and two amethyst crescents). More important than the number of entries or their placement was his work with the second place Battleplan team. With a wealth of experience leading teams for that competition type under his belt, he took the lead and coordinated his team members to produce a high quality entry for a high effort event. Additionally, he helped motivate activity in our Telegram channel throughout the event, helping to generate the kind of engagement by our members that was required to defeat Odan-Urr. More recently during the Plagueis Pro Bowl clan feud, Arden did even more. This time around he submitted to twenty-five of the thirty available competitions over the three week span of the event. He placed in 7 events, earning first place in week three cryptogram and week 3 fiction, second place in week 1 cryptogram and week 2 fiction, and third place in week 1 trivia, week 2 flash gaming, and week 2’s person hunt competitions (netting 2 ruby crescents, 2 amethyst crescents, 2 sapphire crescents, and 1 emerald crescent) . His stellar efforts once again helped lead his team to victory in the overall competition.
All told, since his last recognition for Clan activity, Arden has participated in 35 competitions and earned 11 crescents. For his activity in those events, Arden has also earned 16 clusters of fire and 13 clusters of ice. Outside of his competition activity in our Clan he has also been serving as master to Abadeer Taasii, one of the newest additions to Plagueis and, more recently, our summit. Arden just completed the task of helping Abadeer reach the rank of Knight, but also used his leadership experience to help Abadeer develop the skills needed to slide into the role of Battleteam Leader and immediately begin making substantive contributions to our Clan. Arden’s continued dedication to our Clan and drive to succeed show him to be very deserving of this award.
