Dark Jedi Brotherhood

Event ID: 63795
Target: Bryar Bowl Champion Benevolent Taldrya Whiner
Old Rank: Equite 3
New Rank: Equite 4
Requested by: Bryar Bowl Champion Benevolent Taldrya Whiner
Primary reason: OE Benevolent Taldrya Whiner has been recognized by his fellow Clan members for his excellent work as Proconsul and his amazing work for the Clan in general over the 14 months. For all his work, we reqest a promotion to the rank of Primarch (OPM).

When I think of all the people in Taldryan that have been around, put in countless hours, and never asked for anything, one person jumps to the top of my list. I figured I've known Ben for around 2 years now, more so of course after taking the Aedile position in Dinaari under him. Benevolent has served as Aedile and Quaestor in Dinaari and now sits as Proconsul of Taldryan. How much has he given the Clan? More than I can describe here.

At the beginning of last year he served the Clan well in the Krath Rite of Supremacy, helping us secure a victory. In March he moved up to Quaestor in Dinaari and kept on kicking. When we stepped into the massive Obelisk Rite of Supremacy last fall, Ben got involved and helped to pwn the competition and show that Taldryan was still king of the ring in the gaming arena. When Kir sadly moved on to Deputy Grand Master and Shadow moved up to Consul, it was obvious that it was Ben's time for Proconsul. Shadow and Ben made the perfect team. Both have always been able to work together through competitions, projects, and leadership. Once Shadow stepped down early this year, I moved up to Consul and I was lucky enough to have Ben stay on by my side. Since then he has been invaluable to me and the Clan. He has been our website master for who knows how long, fixing all our many problems, and adding this I need put it. He can always find something to improve on, add to, or just test. He continues his excellent work on the Clan newsletter, the Tal Times, which we are working on a new issue as we speak. When we had the Clan Feud with Arcona back in April Ben stepped up to participate in half the events and grade the others. This devotion made the Feud workout so smoothly. And lastly, here we are at the Brotherhood's largest event possible, the Sixth Great Jedi War. Right now after 24 of 39 events graded, Benevolent Taldrya Whiner stands at 9th place in the overall member standings. That's a great achievement, 9th out of 180 participants. We are currently in 1st as a Clan and wouldn't be here without Ben's commitment to the Clan.

While Taldryan is full of incredible people that have all helped make us what we are today, Ben deserves the honor of being promoted today. I am not the best person to be writing recommendations, so I've only hit on the high points. There is so much more Ben does that all adds up to make him the great member he truly is. I really appreciate all he does and am glad to just be able to work with him day after day. Congratulations my friend well earned.

For Taldryan,

Obelisk Exarch Duga Taldrya Arkarso Consul and Son of Clan Taldryan Planetary Viceroy of Karufr

Oh Benny boy, oh Benny boy, the bryars are calling.

Er I mean, Ben has been one of the best damn members I have seen in a long time. Back before his glory days of being my personal bitch er Aedile. He was just one of those members you knew had it in them to go far. After Crix retired from Aedile under me I knew exactly who I needed to help me keep the House thriving. Ben fit in perfectly. He has that very distinct Taldryan-ish personality and we just clicked. This just made it all the easier for me when I needed a Proconsul of my very own.

That was almost 9 months ago and hes still keeping things going for Duga. I think hes even managed to outlast both my PCON and CON time :P A lot of Bens effort goes on unseen as he does basically all our site work and we do have one of the nicest, most advanced clan/house website in the DB. He keeps things going, adding to it when things are needed and still managed to get in some JO bryars and CTF. (<3 playing CTF on Bens team).

But, all that other stuff aside. The best reason for Ben to get this promo is simply this: His fucking amazing stickman comics. If you havent seen them youre missing out. Every Tal Times has a new one always about some hilarious event on IRC. My favorite is probably from the last GJW the Fuck you Arcona, we did blow up you shit I laughed my ass off after seeing that. We had allied with Arcona and told them we didnt have anything to do with the attack and then saved that til the end of the GJW. So much awesomeness.

Anyways, Im starting ramble now getting on in years you know. Would just like to finish off saying, congratulations on Primarch, Ben. Truly well-deserved.

~ Shadow

PS: Thanks for giving me my table, Ill forever be in your debt.

Well what can I say about Ben? He almost never talks on IRC, he doesn't know how to respond to emails, and I highly doubt he knows what the MBs are for. Aside from that he's been a pretty good PCON. Ever since I was in Dinaari he's always the guy in the background keeping his mouth shut on just about everything and doing work on some web page or another. Proof of his work can be seen on our own Tal homepage, whether it be putting up new graphics or changing people's names towards lacking something Ben has done a wonderful job making our clan page look good.

Just a short time ago Ben helped out to run the feud between Taldryan and Arcona. His participation helped out a lot and although he took forever to grade stuff I think most of the clan forgave him for it. Another big contribution Ben has made would be the Tal Times. The article written for our clan to provide humor on any number of situations is another illegitimate web child of Ben's work. Without him I don't think most of our web stuff would be where it is today. We wouldn't have a kick *ss home page nor humorous news like pages to entertain us. Ben's promo is long over due and I think it's high time to reward him. Congrats Benny boy!

Kraval Novir QUA of Dinaari

Ben is great, that is the easiest way to say this. It has been 14 months since he has been promoted. That is way to long for anyone, especially someone that does so much for his clan. Ben did a great job as QUA, and has done an even better job as PCON. He is always on IRC. Also he is usually working on some project for Duga. Ben keeps the Tal site going; he codes all the new stuff (there seems to be a ton of it) and makes sure everything works right for us; at least until someone manages to break it, i.e. me. Basically he is our own personally Codemonkey, and we love him for it. =P In the big competitions he is always does whatever he can to make sure we win. He did a great deal of work for the recent feud with Arcona. He graded half the stuff; he built a submission form for the feud and the Tal invitational. He always has something good for us to check out in the Tal Times. He even built the DGM site; that says a lot right there. Ben is a great guy that does a ton of work. Fourteen months is way too long for someone that does half as much as Ben does to go with out a promotion. Benny, you truly deserve this. Now all you need to is draw Stick-Hat-Bootman with some pimped out robes.

Chaosrain Quaestor of Ektrosis

While Ben is one of the less vocal members of the Taldryan summit, he is one of the best respected. He has served as Pro-Council for nearly a year now and while there is no single project or event that can be pointed out as the reason why Ben's service is invaluable to the clan, if you take all of the little projects and things that he has worked on since taking the position then you see that Ben is in need of recognition. Ben is the clan's webmaster; he designed, coded and maintains Taldryan's website. This is a rather thankless task, as most clan members do not realize when something has been changed on the site, but it is still a vital job. Ben also does a lot of work behind the scenes with the summit members that many non-summit members never hear about. Even if Ben's work is less visible then most of the other summit members, it is no less important to the functioning of Taldryan.

-- Battlemaster Taku "Crix" Matsuki Taldrya Son of Taldryan Aedile of House Ektrosis of Taldryan Magistrate to the Deputy Grand Master

Exarch Benevolent Taldrya Whiner is a great asset to Taldryan and I am honored to write this recommendation. Since joining the Brotherhood Ben has been a constant help to me, and to all who joined the Clan. First as Aed of Dinaari then Qua, and now finally acting as Proconsul, Ben has shown he is versatile in any position and has leadership skill only few can live up to. A Year without a promotion shows the patience and dedication that Ben holds and makes him so good at whatever he does. If this alone does not convince one Ben deserves this promotion, you can see that he only gets better as time goes on, as he is one of the MVPs in the GJW and is always eager to participate. Ben, Thank you so much for all that you have done for me and our Clan, without you we would not be where we are today. Congratulations and good luck in the future!

11 Aug, 2006 Shi Kensei was promoted from Novitiate 3 to Novitiate 4 Event ID 63799 Target Shi Kensei Old Rank Novitiate 3 New Rank Novitiate 4 Requested by Shi Kensei Primary reason Sai has completed three Shadow Academy courses, as well as the Test of Wisdom. He has kept in contact with me and remains active. For these reasons, I believe he is ready for the rank of Acolyte. Congrats!! Shi Kensei, 2006-08-11 22:00:00 UTC
11 Aug, 2006 Raven was promoted from Journeyman 3 to Journeyman 4 Event ID 63796 Target Raven Old Rank Journeyman 3 New Rank Journeyman 4 Requested by Raven Primary reason I honestly don't know Raven that much. However, I do feel he's been a low key member for a long time, and his contributions to the clan have been gradual and perhaps unnoticed. His participation in the GJW was that little bit that I think he needed to do to get his Knighthood. I hope Raven continues to do well to serve his clan in the future. Dark Adept Manesh Sadow Consul of Clan Naga Sadow Raven has been with us a long time- his time in Naga Sadow has been punctuated, unfortunately, by problems with Real Life that have made this promotion a long time coming. However, in the periods that Raven has been actively with us he has been enthusiastic, active and generally a great member- congratulating others, contributing to discussion and getting involved. I personally believe this promotion is well deserved. Congratulations, Raven! KE Nekura Manji Keibatsu Raven has been under my command for a long time now â as a battle team leader, Aedile, Quaestor, and even now. He has worked very hard on every project that he undertakes. We all agree that it is unfortunate that real life has pulled him away from time to time, but we all see the hard work that he has put into every single piece of graphics, every story, and every game that he plays. It is obvious the amount of time and energy he puts into this club, despite the fact that many of his mentors have disappeared due to their own real life items from time to time. Raven has been long overdue for his promotion. He has done a lot in this GJW, and in other events, and yet, due to the time that many things have spanned, he has never been fully recognized. Excellent work, Raven. Wear your saber with pride. Kat Pridemore, PCON of Naga Sadow Raven, 2006-08-11 22:00:00 UTC

8 Aug, 2006 Marcus Armani was promoted from Journeyman 3 to Journeyman 4 Event ID 63784 Target Chronicler Marcus Armani Old Rank Journeyman 3 New Rank Journeyman 4 Requested by Chronicler Marcus Armani Primary reason Today I have the unique privilege to submit this request, not only as the Proconsul of Clan Plagueis, but also as the Master of JH Julius 'Tolter' Caesar. I have had the privilege of watching his knowledge and experience within the Dark Brotherhood and Clan Plagueis expand to exceptional lengths. He has proven to be one of the most diehard members that the Clan has seen in quite some time, and is a shining example of what we expect from our next generation of members. The detailed reasons for his elevation to this sacred rank is as follows: Two months ago he embarked upon the Knight Trials of Clan Plagueis with the hopes of one day becoming a Dark Jedi Knight, and further enhancing the power of Clan Plagueis and House Satal Keto. Julius tackled the Trials with much enthusiasm and determination, and throughout this he has shown great dedication to completing every task set before him. To date he has completed the following: Participated in both a Clan and the GJW Run-on. Completed the Leadership Fundamentals, Leadership Applications, and Leadership Studies courses at the Shadow Academy. Written several pieces of Fiction (including his story of creating his lightsaber which is posted on the CP MB forums). He's submitted an entry in the GJW "Field Reporter 1" event which is most likely to earn him a placing in the final awards. Participated in numerous competitions and activities within the Clan, House and his BT. Ran both a House and Battleteam Competition. Earned 3 Dark Crosses Earned 3 Crescent's with Emerald Stars Earned 1 Crescent with Topaz Star Earned 1 Crescent with Quartz Star Serves as Rollmaster/Envoy of House Satal Keto. This was a brief stint, but he was honest enough with both his House and Clan Summits to admit that the position just didn't suit him. He could have done like many that are position/rank hungry and just stayed in the position and ride it out until his next promotion. But to me this is a true sign of honor and loyalty that he put his House and Clan first, his personal ambitions last. ;) Based on his accomplishments thus far, I feel that Julius 'Tolter' Caesar has more than meet the requirements for consideration of elevation to Dark Jedi Knight. He exemplifies the type of member that Clan Plagueis has come to expect, and is always there to help others when needed. One day he may make an exceptional Equite, as well as Aedile or Quaestor. DJM Sarin, CON of Clan Plagueis, and KP Orzon, Clan Envoy of Plagueis have both signed off on this promotion request. Having completed the Knight Trials of Plagueis, I hereby request that Julius 'Tolter' Caesar be promoted to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight without further delay! Chronicler Marcus Armani, 2006-08-08 22:00:00 UTC
