Over the past five months, Other Mav has organized or co-organized 16 competitions, including the Pro Bowl, and participated in 59 picking up an impressive 46 crescents. He's also earned 238 CFs, 23 CEs, 11 CIs, and 25 CGs. Kamjin is a constant presence on Discord, both in his clan chat and in the wider DB, and his availability and demeanor have helped CSP grow in size and activity. This award is well deserved!

Rajhin has been a busy tiger. Since April, he has updated the Rites of Combat, run successful vendetta gaming competitions, and updated our policy on unofficial DJB guilds in games. Beyond that, he has made it a point to be available for gaming with members on a regular basis and has ensured a steady stream of fun competitions catering to different interests. He has also been an eager contributor to DC discussions on topics beyond gaming, such as the upcoming XP system.

By the numbers: 23 competitions organized or co-organized; participated in 76 competitions and earned over 20 crescents; 594 CFs, 560 CEs, 10 CIs, and 9 CGs.

Congrats, Turel!

Noobi always keeps the Regent office moving forward. Since his last award, he has overseen the launch of the Land Vehicle Upgrade system and a High Republic-themed booster pack, and run a successful club-wide Life Day event. On top of his Regent work, he also organized 36 competitions, participated in 11 (earning 14 crescents), and wrote 12,000 words of fiction. He picked up 77 CFs, 25 CIs, 50 CEs, and 6 CGs. In short, he's been busy, he's kept his staff busy, and he's given the club a significant amount of content to dig into since August. Congrats on the stabby, Noobi!

It's hard to quantify in words the kind of member Raistline is. Dedicated? Thorough? Loyal? He's been a member in the club for a very long time, and not once has his motivation wavered. He's incredibly active within the Clan, often throwing himself into things with reckless abandon. I admire him for it. So often you see veteran members barely being active, but that is not the case with Raistline.

My case in point? His activity level.

Since he was last awarded, Raistline has participated in 93 competitions, picking up a plethora of awards;

Crescent with Diamond Star x1 Crescent with Ruby Star x3 Crescent with Amethyst Star x7 Crescent with Sapphire Star x12 Crescent with Emerald Star x2 Crescent with Topaz Star x3

His work doesn't stop there either. His work within the halls of the Shadow Academy is worth noting. He has completed 10 SA courses and earned 4 degrees!

Raistline is a thoroughly dedicated member, and one that serves as an inspiration to most. He more than deserves this Amethyst Kukri. Congratulations, Raistline!

You might think that following an exhausting Great Jedi War and earning a Sapphire Blade that Nora would have, perhaps, slowed down a bit and taken a breather. Well, anyone that thinks that must not know Nora very well. Her work since the Great Jedi War has been truly exceptional as she's continued her torrid pace of activity while also shouldering additional leadership responsibilities without so much as missing a beat.

In the realm of activity, Nora has put up numbers that continue to astound. During the recently concluded Brotherhood Pro Bowl Nora participated in all 32 available competitions during the course of the event, earned 229 total points, earned a pair each of first and second place competition finishes along with a third, earned placement crescents in an additional four competitions, and earned 5th place overall (and was the second highest placing Plagueis competitor). All in all, not too shabby for a first time participant! Overall, she has entered 97 competitions and earned 2 Diamond, 4 Ruby, 3 Amethyst, 7 Sapphire, 3 Emerald, and 1 Topaz crescents along with a Gold Nova. She has continued to dominate the cluster board (especially for graphics) while earning 95 Clusters of Earth, 50 Clusters of Graphite, and 17 Clusters of Ice for 6,173 words of fiction across 10 fiction activities. She also passed an additional 5 Shadow Academy courses while earning her Dark Mavens of Leadership and Writing.

Now, any of that would have been impressive for a member without a day job, Nora has also been holding down leadership positions while giving back to the Brotherhood. While Turel will detail her work for the Fist staff, I would be remiss if I didn't go over everything she has been doing elsewhere. Nora has self-motivated to run 7 competitions across various competition series across the Brotherhood, including her D&D Brotherhood Edition series of 6 competitions and the currently running Nora's End of Year Puzzles series. However, she has also done the work to promote all those competitions around the Brotherhood via Discord messaging, not falling victim to the "If you build it, they will come" mindset that first time competition runners often mistakenly assume. Her D&D series saw 31 unique participants across the Brotherhood from nearly even clan as well as the Council, a remarkable bit of marketing for a first time competition runner. Additionally, Nora also stepped up into the role of Quaestor from her role as Aedile with less than a month to go before the start of the Pro Bowl. This would be her first time running a House during a major event, but more importantly she would be left to do it without the backup of an Aedile as Plagueis moved to a Quaestor-only House structure. Just like in every other aspect of her Brotherhood career Nora absolutely destroyed any reasonable expectations. She worked to engage with her members during the course of the event, adapting to the directive we gave to our leadership to forgo unit reporting and pivot away from unit wide messaging for the course of the event. Instead, she directly worked one-on-one with her members to drive activity in her unit and the results speak for themselves. 10 of the 15 rostered members of House Ventress submitted to events during the Pro Bowl, accounting for 50% of the unique Plagueis participants, and generated a total of 108 total entries. It is because of the work Nora did during the event that Plagueis saw a 70% participation ratio in the Pro Bowl and bested by 50% again the next closest unique participant number of all participants. She has been absolutely everything a Clan could ask for in a Quaestor.

In closing, Nora has once again proven that she is an absolute monster of activity and a leader that produces like a multi-year veteran as opposed to somebody that joined not even nine full months ago. Her work has been without peer over the course of her time in Plagueis, and being able to submit her for this honor is, without doubt, the best part of a Consul's job. Thank you, Nora!

What do you give a panda who already has (almost) everything? You make sure has at least two of those things!

Howie, this is for all of your irritating yet constructive yelling. You know what you did.
