Since his last medal, Noobi has overseen changes to the possessions store system and the launch of a new CIS-themed booster pack in addition to the ordinary processing of possessions aspects and correcting typos and other errors as they are found. He was a major contributor to the organization of GJW XVI, proposing a new method for calculating Clan credit bonuses and developing new Clan Fleet Upgrade rewards on top of co-organizing three comps and helping to grade several others. His personal activity has trended towards gaming and writing, earning 99 CFs, 24 CEs, and 50 CIs, and participating in or DMing 14 RPs.

Well this is an interesting place to be. Long ago, in the before times, I took a chance hiring some guy from Taldryan as Praetor to the Regent. Now here I am, writing a rec for that very same Praetor turned Regent.

Since his last medal, Zxyl has been doing what good Regents do: living within never-ending spreadsheets and hammering the club with items.

What I always get the joy of seeing is the Zxyl that lives behind closed doors. The one in the back rooms with his head down deep in plans and hopes. He is always excited by the new things popping up in the Star Wars canon and driving inclusion and progression. Beyond that, he's not so comfortable in what is that he loses sight of what could be. He reassesses current systems as new deploys are made and new pathways are discovered. He asks, "could this be done a better way?" and isn't content until he's at least proposed a change that he thinks might be for the better. Zxyl is also focused on the member experience, especially this past GJW XVI where he was a constant voice trying to remind us of past mistakes so that we can demonstrate growth and offer something better.

Congratulations, Zxyl.

We are once again proud to award Essik with another monumental award for his performance since his last recognition. Claiming a Scimitar competition win for the month of June and the current Scimitar holder he has a total of 94 competitions under his belt, he is very deserving of this award. Over the past few months, Essik has been awarded 7 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 53 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 8 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 4 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, and 3 Crescents with Emerald Stars. Additionally, he's earned 12 Clusters of Ice, 14 Clusters of Graphite, 1 Dark Side Scroll, and 1 Seal of Loyalty. On top of it all has a total of 5462 words of fiction, passed 1 Shadow Academy Course, and has served us well in the Clan as our Quaestor.

On top of all this, we would like to thank you for your contributions during the last war where you participated in 14 competitions.

Thank you Essik for all that you do! Congratulations on your Amethyst Kukri!

I honestly can't put in to words what Essik means to this Clan. He has been a good friend and such a hard worker. He never asks for anything in return and is as selfless as the best Jedi. Congrats bud!

Enzo Dek has been a member of the Brotherhood for eighteen years and has been pivotal in helping the teams he has served grow. He has only recently joined us in Odan-Urr but I admire his passion and desire to help his Clan and Club. Actively present on discord, he frequently chats with his clanmates, had a fantastic run in the most recent GJW, and has participated in RP activities that I have run. While it's true he has collected enough XP for this award. It wouldn't have been possible if he hadn't participated in 28 competitions since his last merit recognition, earned a Bronze Nova, Crescent with Sapphire Star, Crescent with Ruby Star, Crescent with Amethyst Star, Crescent with Topaz Star, and s Crescent with Quartz Star. They have also earned 23 Clusters of Fire, 7 Clusters of Ice, and 4 Clusters of Graphite, Clusters of Earth, and a Scroll of Foundation. They also completed an ACC match, 2 gaming activities, and has written 732 words of fiction and 88 in Roleplays. Because of his achievements and his accumulation of 1528 medal XP I am recommending Dek for their first Amethyst Kukri!

Revak has kept busy in COU since his last medal. Although COU's overall activity has been in a bit of a lull, he has organized 29 comps, including his work in the most recent Pro Bowl, and he led COU in GJW XVI, managing to pick up a Silver Nova for his efforts. He also participated in 37 comps and earned 73 CEs.

I have known Ric for what seems like forever. Way back to the House Dorimad Sol days in CSP. He has always been an active member of the club and a friend. Since his last medal, He has accrued 10493 medal XP by competing in 94 competitions and has earned a slew of Crescents. Additionally, without fanfare, he has been assisting me in running what was the official Dark Jedi Brotherhood Guild on The Old Republic as a guild officer. Each Tuesday for the last 7 months he has reviewed and set the Guild Conquest Invasion to an appropriate level. He is nearly always online to invite both Brotherhood members and anyone else who may want to join our guild. Additionally, he gives me regular feedback on running competitions for the Old Republic and helps me refine them based on the game mechanics and playstyles of the game as they change with patches. . While those that play the game might not realize it he does a lot for the benefit of the guild. It is truly a blessing to have him in Clan Vizsla and I am honored to award Ric his first Amethyst Kukri.

Shadow, our old Empress, has returned to spread her 'shadow' (pun intended) across the clan. We're so grateful that she's returned and has been engaging with the clan and competitions. This is another example of a lifetime of XP still resting in the coffers for Shadow and I'm pleased that since her return I can use it all up to provide this amazing purple stabby.

Especially with the fictional growth of what Kamjin did to Shadow's family and the clan...I hope she doesn't use it to stab me!

Master Selika Roh di Plagia
Primary reason

I once again find myself sitting down to write Nora a medal recommendation while realizing, again, that some people just break the system because they are so far off the chart of what a normal member is expected to be able to do. It's been three and a third months since her last medal literally zeroed out her earned medal XP, and in the time since she's earned herself 8,586 more from her site tracked activity. To harken back to her prior award: absolutely insane. How did she manage this you might ask? Well, she entered 88 total competitions and earned 80 crescents (that's a 68% placement rate): 4 Diamond, 25 Ruby (yowza!), 9 Amethyst, 11 Sapphire, 3 Emerald, 6 Topaz, and 2 Quartz crescents. Of those 88 competition entries, 33 of them were her 100% participation during the recent Brotherhood Pro Bowl. She took home 7 total top 3 finishes (2 first, 3 second, and 2 thirds) while earning 249 total points and scoring second place overall, part of Plagueis sweeping the medal stand for the event. More importantly, she worked with her fellow Quaestor and partner in crime to the second highest number of Pro Bowl participants and highest number of Pro Bowl entries during the event. We saw a 65.5% participation rate in Clan Plagueis, with an average number of entries per participant of 13.3. Without Nora's dedication and personalized outreach throughout the duration of the event, there is absolutely no way that we hit those sorts of numbers. She was more worried about tracking her House's entries via the site admin and using that to inform her outreach than she was about her own work, and she still managed to bully her way to second place overall. Usually when we see a member that is this active personally there is not a matching level of effort in the realm of leadership. But, as good as Nora is at generating her own activity, she is perhaps even better at helping keep her members engaged with the Brotherhood and fighting on behalf of one another. Her work to date has been exemplary, something I know I have said before and never tire of expressing. Plagueis would absolutely be a totally different place today without her tireless, and often unbelievable, level of effort. Never stop kicking ass, Nora!

Primary reason

Tahiri is one of the tireless members of Clan Plagueis that is an absolutely dependable force while also being one of (as I describe it) relentless positivity. Her work in Plagueis has been impressive since she got here, and the last three plus months have been no different. She recently completed entries for 21 of 32 competitions during the Brotherhood Pro Bowl, earning one second and one third place competition placement for those entries. Additionally, her score of 133 points was good for 17th overall out of 111 participants. Go Tahiri!

Overally, since her last recognition she has entered 98 total competitions while earning crescents in 44 of them (at a 45% placement rate no less!): 1 Diamond, 4 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 15 Sapphire, 9 Emerald, 5 Topaz, and 3 Quarts crescents. She has also earned 11 Clusters of Ice and a staggering 492 Clusters of Earth. Tahiri really does strain against the "casual" when it comes to the casual gaming queue! She has earned Additionally, Tahiri really steps up consistently as the di Plagia always should beyond simply being active. Tahiri is always there to help her clan mates in various ways, from being a supportive giver of advice or helping them find gaming matches so they can ensure they get their competition participation checked off. Tahiri is one of the many that help Plagueis maintain its outstanding level of participation across all events, and her clan summit wants to ensure that she knows just how valuable she is to the Ascendant Clan.

Alaris is going to have to change their name to something with Amethyst in it if they keep going at this rate. They have maintained a level of activity that Clan Plagueis depends on, showing up as a force in each and every major event that we have had on the calendar. Our Ascending Confederacy house v house feud and clan feud vs Taldryan: How about going 14/17 on entries in both events while earning 12 top three competition placements? The Pro Bowl was a real tour de force for Alaris: 31 out of 32 competition entries, 7 top three competition placements (with an impressive 5 first place finishes), and an overall score of 249 points that was good for third place overall. All told, Alaris has entered 130 competitions since their last award while earning 72 crescents (a 55% placement rate) broken down as follows: 11 Diamond, 14 Ruby, 18 Amethyst, 15 Sapphire, 9 Emerald, 4 Topaz, and 1 Quartz. On the cluster front, Alaris has earned them all: 168 Clusters of Fire, 7 Clusters of Ice, 377 Clusters of Earth, and 12 Clusters of graphite. Alaris has also gone above and beyond, serving as a valuable advisor to the Clan summit as a Consul emeritus over the last year. Most recently, they really stepped up during the Pro Bowl to help guide other members, both on his team and on others, through the Alien Swarm game that was used in two events. Their contributions over the last year go beyond the numbers that show up in the assessment tool, and Plagueis would not be where we are today without their tireless contributions.

Though he recently had to step down as Quaestor of House Wren Kanal was and still is a beacon of activity in Clan Vizsla. This can be seen from the 7263 medal XP he has accumulated since his last award. Aside from that he was busy in the behind-the-scenes running of not just House Wren but the clan as a whole working on various projects. Most notable is the creation of the Endura wiki page. Where he has always shined however is his helping with the clan story arcs. Whether developing the storyboard or the characters inside it Kanal is as talented an individual as I have seen at being able to give me far-reaching stories practically at the drop of the hat. A prime example of this was his Clan-wide event in March that finished up the World Between Worlds story arc we started in 2022.

Additional reasons

Kanal has run 47 trivia events across his time as M:HM and Quizmaster. The basic task of developing content and submitting results for placement is already covered by site-based XP. However, if it were a matter of simply running two competitions a week, we wouldn't have created a new position specific for Kanal. Since taking on the trivia position, he's had to identify days and times that worked for an international, intergeneration audience, experiment with a variety of quiz settings his participants don't even realize exist, deal with multiple developer-end issues with the bot, and become one of the very few consistent and effective users of Discord's events feature on our server.

That was long, tedious process of trial and error. However, it paid off to the tune of, by my count, 1091 comp entries. Kanal grew participation from a dozen members on a good day to consistently pulling in 30 members, sometimes as many as 36. We have three clans with 30 members or fewer, five with fewer than 36, and that's counting roster dead weight. This would be remarkable enough except you need to remember that this usually takes place within a fifteen minute window. When was the last time we had that many members gaming together at once? Or doing anything else together at once?

Part of the appeal is that Kanal does not simply preprogram quizzes and then amble in later to record participation. He personally kicks it off and sits in chat as an MC and hype man. He does it at a timeslot that is personally burdensome and inconvenient because that's the timeslot he's found works for his participants. That's the kind of interaction, between organizer and participant and between the participants themselves, that builds and maintains communities. It is not optional if we want the Brotherhood to continue to exist, whether it takes the form of trivia or not.

As a participant myself, I can say that from the outside looking in, his job looks... trivial. As someone who's stepped into his shoes a few times, I can say it is deceptively difficult and a lot more work than it looks. He has my sincere thanks for stepping up.

In the last four months, Kanal has served as the club's first Trivia Tribune and run 24 trivia events. He's been very reliable in the role, ensuring that trivia is run regularly and using an interesting variety of topics to keep it from becoming stale.
