You're already beginning to make a name for yourself, Benin. I have heard reports from Clan Odan-Urr that you have managed to accumulate 5 XP.

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,

Benin, you have successfully completed the Trial of Identity and confirmed your e-mail address, for which you have earned the rank of Apprentice. While you may currently be on a shuttle to Clan Odan-Urr, I will continue to follow your progress with great interest.

May the Force guide you, Apprentice,

Zyrethi Armis has reached the required 850 XP to reach the rank of Journeyman 2.

Battlelord Waza Sunrider, 2024-02-20 02:32:08 UTC

With the activity of co-organizing and participating in 3 competitions to date; with more to come. 1400+ words of fiction in role playing with advancement in the Envoy Corp and Inquisitorius Zyrethi Armis is ready to take the next steps into a larger world of Clan Odan-Urr.

Battlelord Waza Sunrider, 2024-02-20 02:31:59 UTC

How does she do it? Maybe she was born with it? Maybe it’s Maybelline, but Sagitta “Sofila” Douve Armis has taken Arcona by storm. One would assume that after blitzing their way to EQ2 in what has got to be a new academy record, their activity rate might flag at least a little.

One would be mistaken.

Since her previous promotion not four months ago, this absolute whirlwind of activity in woman form has (co-)run six comps and participated in 165. For her efforts, she’s bagged 8 Diamond, 5 Ruby, 3 Amethyst, 7 Sapphire, 3 Emerald, 6 Topaz, and 3 Quartz Starred Crescents. Quite the haul of bling that would look more at home in the reward cabinets of some Battleteams.

On the Cluster front, she’s probably tripping over herself from the absolutely massive piles of 1947 (Count ‘em) Clusters of Fire, 225 Clusters of Ice, 135 Clusters of Earth, and finally a sub three-digit-number of 5 Clusters of Graphite.

During the Great Jedi War XVI, she maintained her staggering rate of activity and nabbed home 16 Seals of Transcendence, showing that she’s just as liable to overwhelm in War and in Peace.

With all this activity in raw numbers, one would presume Sagitta to be a recluse who does little more than games their butt off and churns out more competition submissions than medieval peasants do butter. Again, one would be mistaken.

Her Cluster of Ice score is founded on the iceberg of 74 040 words she’s written as a participant in various roleplays, along with the 28 315 words as DM. That is a total of over 100k words!!! These staggering figures just go to show the social prowess of our MMA Mirialan, always wanting to entertain her fellow club members as well as participate in the hijinks of our illustrious membership.

Since about four months ago, a day after her promotion in fact, Jenni has been acting as Aedile for House Qel-Droma. During that time, she’s really grown into her own and started taking initiative with a delightfully member-focused approach. She’s not afraid to speak her mind or to put forward new suggestions and improvements, whilst also having the sensibility to listen to the ‘wisdom of the elders’. Though of course, within reason. We old beards do only perceive to know things, after all.

She has brought much-needed energy into House Qel-Droma and has been busy seeking to improve the membership experience, focusing rightly on that which is most important: The People. Her sunny, bubbly, effervescent attitude, often despite difficult days behind the screen, is truly remarkable and her boundless energy is truly infectious. Yet she couples this with a diligence and focus on achieving results and her aid in running the monthly activity numbers and compiling reports alongside myself has been an invaluable assistance.

I don’t need a high Farsight to tell Sagitta’s going to go far, kid.

For all her hard work, accomplishments, boundless energy, and infectious good spirits, I am proud to recommend Sagitta be promoted to EQ3!

The Muffin Ma'am. Frankly I'm surprised it's taken this long for you to rise further through the ranks but that's only when I look at the dates themselves. The time has flown by, like your warthog up that tree. But no, seriously, I have nothing but praise to give and amazement that it's been so long already. Sofila has not only been an incredibly fast learner, taking to the Aedile position as if she were born to it, but she's been a beacon of activity. This will surely have been covered already but I want to talk about the visible impact, because Sofila doesn't just do activity; she positions herself at the head of it. While discussing writing, oftentimes you'll see her pop up to fiction chat because she had an idea for a Rp-Question. She regularly starts conversations about characters and plotlines, offering her characters as aids to others. Day by day she's in the gaming channels, creating matchmaking parties and being that starting point of activity for the day. Her presence makes the difference in how much activity Arcona and many of the other clans see throughout the day, as Sofila cannot be contained and we have all banners passing through her gaming sessions.

Sof is commonly a voice of reason as well. She is quick to spot potentially volatile situations and just as quick to suggest people take a breather. Not only that, but in a more personal regard I oftentimes find myself going to her for a soundboard. No one can deny that the last month and a half has been chaotic for me. From acting as Consul to building my application, all off of the back of freshly immigrating to a new country, Sofila was present as a space to sort my thoughts and face the next step with a more organised mind.

I doubt that I am the only one.

So to Jenni, congratulations. Enjoy needing to redo all of your character sheets <3

In the words of Mama Mia, here we go again!

Majyc has continued his prowl through the Brotherhood, barely rising his head from the 23 courses (bagging 1 degree) he completed since his last promotion barely a week ago. It's been good to watch the dedication in real time as the emails roll in. Not only that though, but in completeing the ACC Combat studies exam he found an issue and earned a Scroll of Foundation for it. Aside from that, Majyc competed in 2 competitions and got his first Crescent with a Topaz star!

Quiet thus far, but a powerful force up and coming. Keep it up Majyc!

Courier Eechee has reached the required 2500 XP to reach the rank of Journeyman 4.

Battlelord Waza Sunrider, 2024-02-05 16:35:13 UTC

Eechee has shown he is capable of great things with his dedication and activity, Working towards his next rank and finding a new competition to take part in. Eechee has great promise to go to the highest levels in his career and conquer many obstacles. It s time to step forward and continue the journey. Completing society ranks ups in Grand Master's Royal Guard, Inquisitorius, and Shroud Syndicate . With a wide range of awards from Steel cross to numerous clusters Eechee is deserving of Journeyman 4 rank.

Battlelord Waza Sunrider, 2024-02-05 16:35:03 UTC

It seems that not a day goes past where I do not hear about you, Cryovix Poleris. Your superiors have sent glowing records regarding your accomplishments, which together add up to no less than 205 XP!

An expedited recommendation for your promotion has been transmitted to the Master-at-Arms.

May the Force guide you, Trainee,

Well 16 hours has to be a new record. Or at least bloody close-

No but seriously, Majyc (pronounced ma-gesh, for those curious) has spent the last 16 hours filling my email inbox to get that perfect score on the eleven courses he decided to complete at 2am EST. But these weren't just random exams, oh no, these exams were his intros into the societies earning him 4 rank ups, including his first in the Inquisitorious, the GMRG and the Shroud Syndicate.

If this is how Majyc takes to everything, then we might have a new contender for the speediest member to climb our ranks. Maybe I'll finally fine tune my email filters in preparation for it. Congratulations on JM2 Mayjc, keep it rolling!

Envoy Zuza Lottson, 2024-01-31 19:06:06 UTC

Majyc, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed.

I will continue to watch your progress, Majyc, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

May the Force guide you, Journeyman,

Since coming to Taldryan, Alaisy has been nothing but a pure powerhouse representing our values and tenets. In a way, very much reminds me of a squirrel always running around and frantically doing all the things efficiently and excitedly, though I know not if there is coffee involved. Probably is. Zooooooom.

She has been invaluable as a member of our summit despite having been around for barely a month, having taken the reigns on several projects including spearheading The Fortress Cloudhaven, which is our upcoming event series of which she designed the logo for it as well herself, and is currently drafting the RP for it as the lead-GM.

Since her last promotion Alaisy has organised 3 competitions and co-organised a further 2; unfortunately not yet counting her efforts upcoming from The Fortress Cloudhaven. She has also participated in 73 competitions, with the current award spread:

• Sapphire Blade x1
  
• Grand Cross x1
  
• Steel Cross x1
  
• Dark Cross x1
  
• Crescent with Diamond Star x2
  
• Crescent with Ruby Star x8
  
• Crescent with Amethyst Star x8
  
• Crescent with Sapphire Star x7
  
• Crescent with Emerald Star x1
  
• Crescent with Topaz Star x1
  

She also has earned 9 different Shadow Academy Degrees, having passed 23 various courses at an incredibly fast pace; and in addition also ranking up sixteen times through the various societies; which all of this of course reinforces my opinion of a squirrel. Squeak. Congratulations, Alaisy! Now begins your journey towards the Elderdom.

Alaisy spent just a short time as Herald, but her attitude and the work she produced for RoS: Escalation were exceptional!

Lord Dacien Victae, 2024-01-30 14:38:38 UTC

It's a little known fact that the KPP absolutely adore Alaisy. Just ask that guy laying in the snow over there... and over there... and over there...

Terrible jokes aside for the moment, Alaisy is awesome. Anyone who's interacted with her for a brief amount of time will know this to be true. Her character may be on the lower end of the morality scale, but she herself is kind, caring, determined, and hard working. It's been a joy having her in Taldryan and letting her throw herself at whatever projects she has decided to tackle. She brings with her a personality that radiates throughout whichever chat she is in no matter where that is in the club.

Alaisy is the type of member in this club that is cherished, in my view, because she has personality, presence, and a willingness to always help. She's proofed thousands of words for ACC posts, just as an example. (Sorry about that, Alaisy.)

I know she's been looking forward to getting herself a lightwhip. Congratulations, Alaisy. You are now allowed to get one! Congratulations on EQ4. You deserve it.
