Novice K'Tol Niroth has completed the IRC Basics Shadow Academy course and has participated in a DB-wide competition in the form of the Great Jedi War. For these reasons, based on the clan's promotion trials, I recommend that K'Tol Niroth be promoted to Acolyte.

Jaden has completed the clan guidelines for promotion to the rank of Jedi Hunter by completing five more Shadow Academy courses, earning another merit award, creating and judging the <i>Create Your Lightsaber</i> competition, and by passing the Lightsaber Basics course. He also completed my personal task by submitting two articles to the Plagueis Chronicle. Gratz! ~ PCON Aabs

Since being elevated to Acolyte, Mocap has taken 5 more SA courses, participated in at least 2 different competitions (including the GJW) and has completed his Character sheet. He has also become much more active on IRC, coming online on a more consistent basis

During the GJW alone, Malidir managed more than 20 events, becoming the leading point-getter for all of Arcona. That statement, although short, contains a slew of information concerning just how active this Jedi Hunter has been since his last promotion. However, he didn’t stop with the GJW. No. Instead, he has continued on and also become a leading MPer in the DB, participating in many of the MP nights and doing very well for himself as well.

He has also been a large presence within Arcona to other members as he has been extremely active over IRC. He has also taken on a larger leadership role within his House, becoming the Galeres Envoy and continuing their successful work in introducing new members to the rest of the Clan. His tremendous activity alone these last few months should be enough to allow him to be elevated and allow him the use of a lightsaber. Well deserved.

Scyrone has continued his steady pace of activity, participating in nearly double-digit figures for the GJW. However, his main accomplishment has been his continued work as Bas-Tyra Leader. He has made this Battleteam his own, already having completed a number of competitions for his members; getting them active on the messageboards and keeping alive the very concept of the Battleteams. His leadership activity alone, and initiate, is enough to garner him recognition and elevation to Jedi Hunter. Congrats.

Well over 100 Cluster’s of Fire. A handful of Crescents. A Bronze nova. These are a few of the “stats” that Karel has amassed since coming to Arcona. They are however only a glimpse to his actual activity. Within the Great Jedi War itself he was a force, participating in nearly 15 different events, doing well in many of those events. He has continued that torrid activity pace past the GJW, being one of the most active MPers in the various MP nights in the DB.

He has also been a constant presence on IRC, interacting with the general membership and being a friend to many. He goes about his “work” quietly, just being as active as he can. Over these months, he has proven himself a wonderful member of the Clan and is deserving of receiving his lightsaber.

Over two year ago, Koskian was promoted to the rank of Exarch. In the time since, he has taken on the Aedile and Quaestor while currently being a Battleteam Leader in House Galeres. I can easily say that when in those positions, Psyko did a wonderful job with them, and continues to do a superb job leading Soulfire. All of that is true, and gives one a glimpse of what type of member Koskian is. However, it is what he does for the Clan as a whole, not just the positions he holds, that really proves his worth.

For these 2 years, Koskian has stepped into whatever role has been asked of him, and a few others that haven’t. He has been an exemplary “veteran”, a man who backs up his words with action. While many give lip service to being long-standing members of the Clan, Koskian has actually dove in and ensured that the Clan continues to grow and prosper. What he has done to improve morale, as well as nurture many of the newer members, cannot be completely stated in words. However, the Clan would be a different place had he not been around to help it.

However, he has also proven himself to be a capable member in terms of activity. In this GJW alone, he has been one of the top participants in Arcona as well as managing to also be one of it’s highest placers as well. He helped out the Clan in the previous Feud with Taldryan, and has been a tremendous force in multiplayer since returning to the DB from the rogues. His activity alone over the course of the years is worthy of an award.

Altogether however, Koskian I deserving of the elevation to the very top of the Equites. His dedication to the Clan has made him indispensable, and worthy of such accolades.

Koskian… He has been the leader of Soulfire for just over 2 months. So, my Sergeant. I am a terribly picky battle team member, I do not have time for people to play at being a leader. Yet Kosk has managed to live up to even my expectations, leading the team with great care for each and every member, always ready with a kind word, a nudge, kick or even a long speech if the occasion required it.

Although, he has become more than just another battle team leader, he is a friend to every member of the team. Motivating every single one of us to give our best at all times, encouraging us to excel beyond what even we thought was possible. He is what every leader should be, always available, always ready to help whether it is DB related, or real life. If he doesn't have answers, he'll find them for you. He takes the time to know exactly what is going on with each of us. If someone is not around for longer than a usual absence, he'll be the first to ask where that person disappeared to.

He's taken the time to help me, Odin and Malidir with JA and JO, I know he has also played BF2 with some team members. Constantly creating opportunities for us to experience new types of games and game play, such as the whole afternoon he spent teaching us the ins-and-outs of JO CTF. He also took the time explaining the RPG to us, since none of us had done it before, not once getting frustrated with our many questions. He has a way to teach you things without making you feel like you're an idiot. That's a rare thing these days.

Kosk makes Soulfire a great team to be in. We've had a great time with this war, Malidir, Nadrin, Kresh'taa, Karel and myself earning a Nova of some sorts for our trouble. It would not have been possible without his constant barrage of encouragement and persuasion to keep at it, to keep going. Even with a battle team to keep active, he still makes time to have ACC battles, play in gaming nights, run the Arcona trivia and juggle real life responsibilities.

It has been a long time since his last promotion, a lot has happened in that time. But for his work with Soulfire alone, he is deserving of this. Keeping us going, active and happy is not easy, but he does it with ease and his own special kind of charm.

Koskian 'Psyko' d'Tana, 2006-08-30 22:00:00 UTC

Krath Archpriest Shin’ichi Keibatsu, formerly Tharivol Endymiron, has been an active member of Clan Naga Sadow for many years. In recent months he has served as Rollmaster of the Clan, performing admirably and being a valued member of the Clan Summit. He is not afraid to speak his mind, always doing his best to contribute to discussions. It is in his service to the Office of the Herald that Shin’ichi really shines today. He provides a commendable service to the club as a whole and is a great aid to Muz; as is he always there when someone needs something specially commissioned. What strikes me most about Shin’ichi is his current status, he has been here over seven years, longer than myself in fact, yet he is still only Krath Archpriest, and has been so for ten months now. His service has long gone unrewarded and it seems only fitting for him finally to be elevated to Krath Epis. ~Xanos Sadow, DGM <P> Krath Archpriest Shin'ichi has achieved many things within the clan. From earning the Dark Maven, being part of the GMRG, working as the Praetor to the Herald and being Rollmaster of Clan Naga Sadow for more than half a year. Shin'ichi is one of the many devoted members of Clan Naga Sadow. He is active on various aspects of the Dark Brotherhood. Mostly Shin'ichi approaches the fun aspect f the DB with is writing aspects. He fought often in the ACC having gained the rank of a Learner by this. He the got 3rd place in the "Happy birthday to Jac, happy birthday to Jac" competition with his entry. Additionally he majorly took part in the strategy game and runon "Reclaiming of Kyataru", where you have an amount of troopers and try to conquer bases having a certain amount of moves and resources. Meanwhile you can earn more resources by adding in posts in the runon. He also took part in the GMRG runon, which he is a member of. His activities had slowed down a bit when he picked up a new irl job, though his several submissions for the GJW still reached my inbox: The Field Reporter part one and two, the Investigations, two poems for Songs of the past and the Suspicion event. Not to forget his postings in the GJW runon. Additionally he submitted a picture for the Decision event. This shows also the talents Shin'ichi has when it is about images: He once created a character picture for me, made a banner for the DGM's office and as far as I heard several warbanner images. With his writing skills he also has gotten 4 dark side scrolls in his time as an Archpriest. And he also earned 3 Legions of Scholar for creating trivia questions and creating a trivia competition while his reign as the Rollmaster of CNS. He also earned about 2 or 3 Scrolls of Indoctrination for gaining new members. He also appears to enjoy several Shadow Academy courses, having completed the Safe Computing, Training Saber course, and a tripple 100 full points in these 3 courses: Marksmanship, Pre-Republic History and the Force Philosophy. For his services as the former Rollmaster and also for his devoted work in the clan he earned totally 2 Grand Crosses. From time to time our opinions did differ and I have seen him not being happy about some persons within the clan. Still I experienced that he had no problem at all to awknowledge these persons hard and devoted work, even writing reccomendations for them. Although Shin'ichi is a proud member of the Keibatsus, which he is showing a great devotion to, I also know and have witnessed his great devotion to the clan, which has partly become his home. After looking up all his activities yet I know that Shin'ichi's devotion also birthed many results in the Herald's office. But this is surely something the Herald will have a few words about in this reccomendation. Congratulations Shin'ichi ... Krath Epis Shin'ichi. ~Xia Long/Sildrin Sadow, HLK QUA <P> Shin'Ichi has been my right hand man since January. Now, not many people realize what that means. To Shin, it means having to answer the phone at weird hours to discuss projects, having to work through to the wee hours in the morning to get stuff done for a planned release date, and trying to keep me sane, among other things. He is completely responsible for the Warbanners at this point, so he's already done work for almost everyone in the club, and the promise he shows ensures that he'll be busy for a good long time into the future. His consistency and aggressiveness has been well appreciated as he hones his skill to take on more systems and projects. His insight and aid has been felt by me on every project that passes through the Herald's office, and I feel he's working well on his way to succeed me in this office. Having said all that, I feel that for far too long has Shin lingered at his current rank, and I among others feel that he has more than earned this elevation to Epis. ~Muz Sadow, HRLD
