I'd like to recommend Zett for promotion to Novice. He has completed the Trials of the Apprentice by joining his Clan on IRC.

On behalf of the leadership of Clan Naga Sadow, I have the honor today of promoting Robert Atema Daragon. Recommendations are as follows:

What can I say about Bob that isn't already obvious? He is probably the most active old drunk I've ever had the pleasure to work with. You see, Bob left his family almost a year ago now, to boldly go where no Sadow had gone before. He spent some time as the PCON of Plagueis and then did a stint as Quaestor of House Satal Keto. Obviously, he must have been doing something right to get these positions, though I am unable to say much about them. But Bob's heart grew heavy for his home and one day, I found him passed out on the steps of the House Ludo Kressh where I was then the Quaestor. After hosing him off (he smelled awful; like a Gungan who'd been left in the heat!), I brought him and let him sleep it off. Once he was sober enough to stand without falling, he asked to rejoin the Sapphire Squadron as he had missed it greatly (and Fred too). I reinstated him as a flight leader and he immediately began working with the current team, offering advice and getting to know them. Not long after, we were in need of a new leader for the battle team and Bob volunteered. I didn't need to think twice; and placing the Viking helmet upon his head once more, donned him Commander of Sapphire Squadron once again! Since becoming the Battle Team leader for the elite squadron of House Ludo Kressh, Robert Atema Daragon has filled it with active members, ran numerous competitions and done weekly reports. He makes himself available on IRC for the new and old members alike, mentoring, advising, and offering copious amounts of alcohol to all at Trevarus Caerick's expense. He is the first to compete in competitions run by the members of his team as well as the clan itself and earned more crescents then anyone in the recent Artisan's Comp. He encourages activity by keeping in touch with his team and leading by example at all times. His counsel and experience within the DJB has been invaluable not only to the newer members but the newer summit members as well. I'm am proud to recommend the mean old drunk, Robert 'Bob' Atema Daragon for this way over due promotion to Sith Warlord.

~Epis Ashia Kagan Keibatsu Consul of Clan Naga Sadow

Since taking on my role of Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh, Bob has done a fantastic job as Battleteam Leader of the Sapphire Squadron. He posts weekly reports on time, keeps members entertained and interested and overall does an awesome job at keeping members active. In the most recent months he's also been very active in competitions and leading by example. He was the overall winner in CNS's Artisan Competition earlier this year and also has been very active in the Shadow Academy too completing the Wiki Basics Course, Training Saber Basics Course, Sith Alchemy Course, Obelisk Core Course, Lightsaber Studies Course, History of the Sith Empire II Course, Force Philosophy Course and the ACC Initiates Course. He's also earned 21 Crescents so far this year alone as well as a Seal of Loyalty, and we're not even counting the numerous activity he's accumulated over the years since his last promotion or his previous leadership positions. Even before I was appointed as Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh I took notice of Bob, and from my point of view as a newer member of the DJB he has definitely made a positive influence on our members and has shown dedication to his House and Clan. I believe he whole heartedly deserves this promotion and it's long overdue.

~ DJK Faeril Munlear Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh

Since his last promotion in 1998, Bob has been a stellar example of what a leader should be. He does entertaining reports, motivates his charges, and is a pleasure to have around. He has served as Proconsul, Aedile, and Quaestor in 2 different Clans. I could not even begin to list all his medals and awards, as there are 5 pages of them. These include many crescents, merit awards, and seals. I was so happy that Bob came back to CNS, as I pretty much cut my teeth in the DB under his mentorship in Sapphire Squadron. To me, Bob IS Sapphire Squadron. I could not ask for a better leader to hold that position, and I am fully confident the Battleteam is in good hands under his supervision. For his long and outstanding service, Bob should be promoted and given a beer.

~SWL Mononoki 'Macron' Keibatsu Sadow Aedile House Ludo Kressh Clan Naga Sadow

There's not much I can say about Bob that hasn't already been said by others. A long term member of Clan Naga Sadow who has served as every position available in the Clan (apart from Rollmaster I believe?). He has a long history of being there for the leaders of his Clan and being a proactive member. I have to admit I dont know Bob like the rest do; the reason for this is because I'm still new to the Clan and Bob goes back to the "Stone Age" which the more senior members (like Trev, Xanos, Macron, the list can go on). I only know Bob as the Battleteam Leader of Sapphire Squadron; which is his old stomping ground from what I gather. I have to admit that if there was one person I would want to be a BTL then it would be Bob. I know he has served higher up positions but let me just concentrate on this one. It takes a lot of effort to successfully manage a Battleteam. It is, however, something he does rather well indeed. It takes time, it takes effort, it takes determination, but above all, it takes patience and foresight to be a good leader. Bob has all this, he has served in God knows how many leadership positions since his last promotion. I can only base this one what I know from the leadership positions I have been in; but its hard work... yes... hard work to be a leader in this club, hard work to do something we find fun, hard work to do something we want to do. Bob does want to be a leader... he has shown this countless of times in the past. He was to be a positive influence to others. He has the experience too. Robert Atema Daragon knows what is expected of him as a leader of this club, regardless to some if he just looks to be in a BTL position. What makes Battleteam Leader any different than Aedile, or Quaestor, or even Proconsul? Nothing; because it's what the person brings to the job that defines it, not what the job brings to the person. A lot of the youth today dont understand that. A lot of people believe being in a leadership position is a privilege, its not, it's a burden... one which we bare with great pride and honour; we serve our members, not the other way around. Bob knows this... and this is the key to being a good leader (in my books anyway). Bob has for years done this, and not simply just in Clan Naga Sadow, but in other Clans. He is a true member of the Brotherhood, he does what he does not only for his Clan but for the Brotherhood as a whole... He may not be a member of the Overclan, but he has been and always will be a guiding force and leader within the Six Clans throughout his Dark Jedi career. In the past he has went where he is needed; today that being a Battleteam Leader. What more can we ask out of our members? What more can they give but this? Promoting this Battlelord up a rank is the greatest reward the Dark Council, Clan and House Summits of Naga Sadow can bestow.

~SBM Ashura Megos Isradia Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos. Clan Naga Sadow

Congratulations, Bob

Acolyte Cern Unnos has been a member of House Caliburnus for almost two months, and an Acolyte for the majority of that. He has been a great example of activity for the clan, completing seven (7) SA courses in that time. More recently, he has turned to the Inderpendance Games and has completed a total of thirteen (13) events for it.

I believe that this activity as well as his time in rank warrent a promotion to the rank of Protector. - Sith Warrior Brent Ligur Victae

Archangel Palpatine, 2008-05-07 07:16:21 UTC

Jade has been with the Dark Jedi Brotherhood for a very long time; she's had her active moments and inactive moment but she has always come back and like a dedicated member she's always been around aiding her House and Clan from behind the scene. It's true that members can fall through the cracks and we, as leaders, sometimes miss them. This has been the case here. And this is something I've been planning and trying to rectify since her remarkable talents have come to light as my faithful Battleteam Leader.

However before I go into the juicy stuff lets just see what this remarkable member has earned since her last promotion in 7/4/2007; Dark Side Scroll, six Seal's of Pain, an Anteian Cross, a Dark Cross, 3 Quartz Crescents, 6 Emerald Crescents, and 4 Topaz Crescents. She has taken 5 Shadow Academy courses and received a Dark Maven in Writing.

During all this time she has served as in two Battleteam Leader appointments; her first appointment was Battleteam Leader of Ravana Squadron from 8/2/2007 - 10/6/2007 and then again in 1/20/2008 as Battleteam Leader of the Night Hawks. In that time she had grown from strength to strength. Not only do I have to endure her charming and bubbly personality (which I love so much) constantly on IRC, but she also performs her duties with great consideration for her members. All you need to do is check out all of her twelve Battleteam Leader Reports to see how much of a personal touch she adds. She has also run to a total of 22 comps since her last promotion from battle team to clan wide and judged them all. House Marka Ragnos wouldn't be House Marka Ragnos without this amazing, incredible and lovely woman. To go further into this she currently has two Apprentices she's training to Knighthood. It can be said that good leadership is what makes a good House; I don’t have enough experience as QUA to agree or disagree with that...but what I do know is a leader is nothing without the support and trust that he, or she, gives to fellow members. I know I wouldn't have come this far as a leader if it that not been for the support and trust of members like Jade who want their House, their Clan, grow and be a fun place to be among friends.

So here at the end of the longest promotion recommendation I have ever wrote that I say these words; I, Sith Battlemaster Ashura Megos Isradia, Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos, hereby request the Dark Jedi Knight known as Jades "Imperial" Atema be elevated from the Journeymen class to enter the Equite class, to be promoted to the rank of Krath Priest with all privileges and honours that come with her new rank. Jade, stand tall now, try and hold back those tears... you earned this... you did... congratulations Priestess on a job well done. ^-^

~SBM Ashura Megos Isradia Quaestor House Marka Ragnos Clan Naga Sadow

Jade has been a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood for a significant amount of time. During her tenure she has taken on a number of leadership positions and has contributed to the Clan in many ways. In this letter I will look through a number of factors in coming to the conclusion that she should be promoted to the level of equite. The reasons for my admission are based upon her activity, leadership, and time.

I feel that the contributions made by Jade since her last promotion warrant the promotion they include an Anteian Cross, a Dark Cross, Six Seals of Pain, Three Crescents with Quartz Stars, Six Crescents with Emerald Stars, Four Crescents with Topaz Stars.

Jade has displayed an ample amount of leadership for this to be a sufficient criterion for her promotion to the level of equite. She has led Ravana Squadron for a number of months and led the Night Hawks for a number of months. During her tenure in these positions she has maintained the Battleteam Roster, run competitions within and outside her team, reported and contributed to House Summit, made promotion and award recommendations for members when needed and continues to set an example in terms of conduct and activity.

Jade has maintained a steady personal level of activity for a period of over six months. It is thus, that after review of the three key criteria which Jade has fulfilled I come to the conclusion that Jade is ready to enter the Equite class.

~Alexander ‘Xander’ Anderson AED House Marka Ragnos Clan Naga Sadow

Jade has been a fine example of a leader. In the few months that she has been a Battleteam leader she has increased activity among her teammates and proven herself to be a fine asset to the clan. Her loyalty is unquestionable and her skills are great. More over she is a quality member who knows when to lead and when to follow never allowing ego or self importance to get in the way of her duties to the clan. Along with these considerations she has been a part of the Brotherhood for close to nine years and while only a Dark Jedi Knight has never complained about her status compared to others who have been around for less time. Jade is a valued member and an even more valued friend, and as such is deserving of this promotion.

~Krath Pontifex Shin'ichi Keibatsu Sadow Son of Sadow

Jades 'Imperial' Atema has been a shinning example of what a leader should be. Her numerous competitions have given our journeymen more fun things to do then they can handle and they have loved every one of them. She has constantly provided a presence on IRC to be available to her team and clan members alike and has put out reports timely to keep them in the loop. I have watched the Night Hawks flourish under her tutelage and am proud to have her on my summit. She has participated in numerous comps herself always leading by example and it is with pleasure I recommend her for this promotion to Krath Priestess. Since her knighting Jade has continued to strive to do more for Clan Naga Sadow and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole. Well done, Jade!
