Since their rise to Elder in 2022, Mune has never relented in activity, presence or their liability to block up the pool filters over on the Voidbreaker II. Their medals are far from few in this time: 1 Emerald Dagger, 2 Amethyst Kukris, 1 Sapphire Blade and 1 Grand Cross. These are all symbols of Mune's achievements as a leader, be it praetoring for Howie and routinely bonking the bear for percussive maintanence or whacking Wally as they launched the Envoy Corps and the Supplemental RP society and, even long before we hired them as BTL of the VB, being an avid member pushing activity and keeping people on and interested in the Wiki. For me, Mune has always been a consistent member. As many do, they predate my time in the club but while some come and go, they have always been a stable part of the furniture. Be it spending hours fiddling with wiki pages, creating roleplays or being new people's anchors into them, Mune is a high standard to stand beside when it comes to what being a member of the Brotherhood and a member of Arcona is.

So, the numbers! Mune has participated in a whopping 483 Competitions, 85 of which containers. This has earned them (drumroll): 3 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 12 Amethyst, 20 Sapphire, 26 Emerald, 18 Topaz andd 7 Quartz, as well a 1 Gold Nova. This is alongside 11 Seals of Transcendence, 1 Dark Side Scroll and well earned 2 Seals of Loyalty. Across 15 gaming activities Mune earned 100 Clusters of Fire and across 31 Fiction activities and 3 ACC battles they wrote up 142 Clusters of Ice. This was from a mix of primarily participating in Roleplays, but also Dm-ing and doing typical fictions. Their participations in the ACC has also seen 2 matches be judged, and just for fun on the side there are 8 Clusters of Graphite also collected by Arc's best groomed Shistavanen. Hitting the books they passed 18 new courses in the last 2 years, gaining 5 degrees and have commented upon 23 seperate newsposts. All of this has earned them 35 society rank ups I am not going to list out, as well as a cushy 1,418,000 Credits for Clan Arcona.

Though, as lovely as the credits are, Mune's dedication and heart brought with them to everything they do in the club is the real bank being made. Thank you, Mune. I am honoured to get to this write for you. Use this new power well, or at least don't be caught red-pawed if you don't.

In the Brotherhood, we cultivate and promote a sense of community. A community that strives to support, encourage, and bond with one another. While each and everyone of us contribute to that in some way, each our own, there are some that stand among the crowd as pillars. Mune Cinteroph is one such person.

We spoke much of the massive amount of work Mune has done in regards to material for the Voidbreaker team in a recent award. But I don't think we truly captured how much passion they have for the team. That project is their babbeh. They are truly invested and keen on flushing the ship out, giving to the team, and building on a project they've collaborated on the past few years. It's why they took up the mantle of Captain and has wore the hat between their fluffy ears well, encouraging teammates to chase their interests and stories, to engage with the wiki and help flush out the ship's layout, and hosted them an RP to further fictional growth among them.

If I continued the thread of Brotherhood related support Mune does, I'd be veering towards Howie's jurisdiction. But heck it, it's worth repeating. Mune is a powerhouse in the MAA, behind many awards and promo approvals. They also are down to assist with any questions people have, maintain valuable information on the wiki. The patience of a saint and willingness to deep dive into policies and numbers to help figure out problems and misunderstandings(Thank you greatly <3).

But lastly and I feel even more importantly, Mune has helped cultivate and preserve a safe space for our members, especially those who could benefit greatly from it in these times. Not only are they friendly and kind, they are welcoming and open to talk to. A reassuring presence who's humor helps keep things light.

With all said, congratulations on your promotion to Elder II, Mune Cinteroph! More than well earned with all the work you've done for this club.

Consul Diyrian "Diy" Grivna, 2025-01-30 00:18:59 UTC

While writing recommendations can sometimes feel like the closest to a chore we have as leaders in the Brotherhood, I don't think I will ever tire of writing them for Mune. An indispensable part of House Qel-Droma, and a better Captain for the Voidbreaker I could not ask for. Mune provides a friendly and welcoming presence to our little corner of the club, along with an excitement for all aspects of the Brotherhood that is nothing short of infectious.

Mune's devotion to the Voidbreaker and Qel-Droma is second to none, as a constant presence around our spaces making sure that everything is going well. They regularly check in to make sure our members are doing well, and seem to be constantly full of ideas for RPs and activities they want to try out to keep folks involved. Without the strong support of Mune watching over the Voidbreakers, I think it is undeniable that Qel-Droma would not be half of what it is now. The wiki page and lore of the Voidbreaker certainly wouldn't be!

Congratulations, Mune, on your promotion! And I can't imagine it will be very long before I'm writing my next recc for you!

Bograt, 2025-01-30 01:04:09 UTC

There was a time where I was in need of people I trusted to help me build out the Exarch Staff and its operational abilities, and Mune was the first person to answer my call. They jumped on board to help without blinking or hesitation. During that time, I wrote about their efforts there inside of their well deserved AK. But I bring it up again, in this limited space I'm given, to remind everyone about what kind of member and leader Mune is.

Mune has no ego. They are warm, caring, and genuinely exist to help others. Their optimism remains a recurring, unwavering current of positive energy that helps even an old, jaded asshole like me still believe in our community and culture.

Even after moving on from the role, I've gotten the honor of hanging out with Mune in Qel-Droma and the Voidbreaker. We've gotten to compete, create, and have fun together. Then, I watched them take on the role of BTL of Voidbreaker, something that means a lot to me as someone who really put a lot of work into shaping it.

Mune wasted little time updating the Wiki, revitalizing and helping maintain its status as a "living" place for members of the team that encourages activity.

I could speak for hours, honestly, about Mune but all that's left, at this point, is to say congratulations on this well earned and desered milestone. I know you don't do what you do for pixels and promos, but it genuinely warms my heart to be able to contribute to this and see one of our best rise to the rank of Elder 2. <3

Legend Wally, 2025-01-30 01:27:37 UTC

Mune. You're a god damn superstar. I figured we'd be back here after a couple of years (turns out it's around 2.5 years), and this feels absolutely right. You've been the MAA Praetor for nearly five years, which seems kind of bonkers. Putting up with me and my nonsense all these years? That. Is. Mastery.

Your ability to see the best in DBers makes you a fantastic part of the way our system works, and will continue to guide the way we adapt our club into it's fourth decade, with new systems, and hell, a new form of the internet.

Your clanmates have done a fantastic job describing your site contributions, as well as your personality and your ability to be, well, you.

From me, your grumpy MAA Bear. Congratulations, well deserved - and most of all? Thank you.

Since their last promotion in December of 2021 Sinya Ani has participated in 198 competitions and 50 container competitions. They have participated in 1 ACC battle, writing 1125 words. Additionally they have written 5862 words of fiction, participated in 9 Roleplaying sessions writing 11557 words for them, and DM’s 1 Roleplay session writing 1331 words for it.

Sinya is a member who does it all as the stats above attest to. In my experience they also do it quietly in the background. Sinya is the type of member that is foundational to the Brotherhood. They do the activities that keep our club alive, providing participation that makes it worth running events. The upper Equite ranks are traditionally a special place reserved for the most active members of the club. Sinya has proven their place amongst the upper Equites through their dedicated long term activity.

Sinya, congratulations on earning your promotion to Seer, Equite 3, and welcome to the upper Equite ranks. I look forward to seeing what you accomplish next.

Congratulations my friend, you more than earned this promotion. Now you truly are the Wombat Master!

Supreme Chancellor Ood Bnar, 2025-01-28 23:23:42 UTC

I’m sitting here, trying to come up with something clever, something cool, something deep, but really, all I want to say is thank you. Thank you for your involvement in the club. Thank you for the endless stream of contributions you make to the DB, your clan, and our community of artists. You are an inspiration. On a more personal note, thank you for having my back through the last few years. It is an absolute honor to call you a friend.

Without further ado, it is with the utmost pleasure that I recommend you for a promotion to the rank of Elder 2.

Infinite congratulations. You’ve worked hard for this and there is no denying you’ve earned this.

I cannot wait to see what you’ll be up to next.

Bale Andros, 2025-01-23 20:36:19 UTC

I said I would be writing another recc for you before too long right?

In the last seven months, Alaisy has apparently been trying to prove all of our other rising stars that they don’t know what excessive activity entails. She’s organised 16 competitions, co organized another 4. This on top of participating in 638 competitions and earning 463 Crescents (111 Diamond, 164 Ruby, 109 Amethyst, 65 Sapphire, 10 Emerald, & 4 Topaz) as well as 13 Novae (6 Gold, 4 Silver, 3 Bronze). She’s also earned an Emerald Dagger and a Ruby Scepter. Through gaming she has earned 9 Clusters of Fire. Oh and she’s ranked up across the various societies nine times.

To brag to the Vizsla crowd, she contributed over 5 million credits to the Clan in the last 7 months. Oh and she’s attained 1 Shadow Academy Degree.

As a writer and RP wizard, Alaisy has earned herself 50 Clusters of Ice, having written 18.626 words across 12 fiction events and 11 RP sessions (8 as participants, and 3 as organizer). She also wrote 5.079 words across 2 ACC battles and even managed to serve as an ACC judge in 3 battles.

As an artist, Alaisy has truly found her niche in the club. Having earned 333 Clusters of Graphite, she has been serving as Praetor to the Herald for four months now. Even serving as Herald-ad-interim during the Herald’s Leave of Absence. She also served as an expert consultant for the Chamber of Justice in how to handle AI usage in relation to cheating in GFX competitions.

Alaisy, if anyone has earned Elder-2 for the work they did inside of 7 months, it’s you! Just go reread this listing of everything you achieved in this short amount of time if you don’t believe me. I was going to pun a bit here but honestly I’m too impressed by your MASTERful performance. You’ve truly ELevated the concept of being active. Congratulations and enjoy the fruits of your labors!
