Today, I have the distinct pleasure of recommending Veil Arcana for his promotion from Equite 1 to Equite 2. I don't know that this is a time record for the Brotherhood, but it might very well be one within Clan Naga Sadow. It is a testament to how much that the man does, that the number of pending competitions and courses waiting to be graded were enough to nudge him over the line for promotion so quickly. I love to see such hyperactivity and drive anywhere in the club, and doubly so from my fellow members in our Ancient Clan.
In the 3 days since he was last promoted, he has earned 4 ranks (and 8 degress) in the Shadow Academy Society by completing 28 courses, earned four Crescents from participating in 5 competitions (what a batting average!) and otherwise proved to be a menace to my inbox. The work speaks for itself, and Veil Arcana has reached the required 12500 XP to reach the rank of Equite 2, and earn all of the perks associated. Congratulations and well-earned!

So I an pretty positive we have filled out promotion reccs on Veil at least once this week already. I thought this was a typo, however the PCon corrected me, "Nope, this is a fresh recc!" I swear this kid will be a GM in just a few weeks at this rate! Very cool to see folks enjoying themselves as they progress through the ranks! Never seen someone progress this fast and it is absolutely amazing to see!
An Equite is a member of a specially privileged class and having status intermediate between those of senatorial rank. You sir have demonstrated great dedication and loyalty to the Brotherhood and Clan Naga Sadow. Since your last promotion you have competed in five competitions, passed twenty three courses and earned eight degrees through the Shadow Academy.
Veil Arcana has reached the required 12500 XP to reach the rank of Equite 2. This is quite the accomplishment to reach and we look forward to seeing more of them in the Near future! Congrats on your second Equite promotion! Well -deserved!

Revs was very active during their time in Clan Odan-Urr and since returning to us earlier this year and joining Clan Arcona and House Qel-Droma, Revs has shown no signs of slowing down that level of activity. He has taken part in an absolute flurry of competitions, RP activities, Shadow Academy training, and been a regular presence among the Discord channels.
Revs has taken part in 97(!!) competitions. He received 3 Grand Crosses, a Steel Cross and a Dark Cross. Twelve Crescents were earned, including an Emerald Star for taking 3rd place in our most recent House overall competition. Revs completed 10 additional Shadow Academy courses resulting in the earning of 2 new Degrees. Revs achieved a grand total of 12 Rank Ups across multiple Societies. He also showed an active and strong interest in our Battleteam, the Voidbreaker, being a solid participant in a group-wide social RP that helped establish new connections among the crew.
Overall Revs has been a valuable and active member of our House, and I have no doubt that I will be writing many more recommendations for promotions and awards for him before I even know it!

Much as he has since joining the Clan, Revs maintains a strong activity level. He had multiple entries in the House event, “Be Gray, Do Crimes”, and participates in club-wide puzzles and even some Single-Player gaming on the regular. As Alex mentions, Revs has a nice haul of Crescents and Clusters to show for his efforts, and a handful of merits to boot since his last promotion. So to has he made an amazing showing in multiple societies. He has written 4231 words in RP and 634 words in Fiction. It is a level of activity deserving of recognition and how better than recommending Revs for promotion to Equite 2.
I have no doubts that he will continue to represent the unit well through his continued activity and positive interactions. There is still plenty to do and I believe we’ll be seeing Revs up for another recommendation of some sort before long.

In the time since his last promotion, about 3 and a bit months, Narman has been a veritable powerhouse of activity. He has participated in 208 competitions, earning him a Gold Nova and 37 Crescents (1 Diamond, 7 Ruby, 13 Amethyst, 10 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, & 1 Topaz). He has also earned an incredible 158 Clusters of Graphite. In the Shadow Academy, Narman passed 35 courses and attained 8 additional degrees. On the side of the Societies, he’s elevated his rank in the various societies 9 times in the last 3 months.
However, it is in his writings that Narman has been excelling, having earned an impressive 22 Clusters of Ice in the last 3 months. He participated in 1 Roleplaying session and 10 fiction events and wrote almost 11.000 words when all is said and done.
On the social side, Wade has been an active member of Taldryan and has been a solidly active presence on Discord. Always willing to join in, he is one of the reasons our clan is such a warm place to reside.
Narman, Wade, as long as I’ve known you, you’ve never really been one to sit still. It’s a true pleasure to be in the same clan as you. Keep up the good work and force me to write another promotion recc with so many lovely statistics. I can’t wait to see what you get up to next! It is truly a great pleasure to be able to promote you to the next Equite rank. Go enjoy being in the upper half of the Equite Tier, Lieutenant Colonel!

The Equite tier within the Brotherhood takes its name from ancient Rome, as so many other things within our club. In ancient Rome, it was a peerage of stakeholders, cavalrymen, knights and voters, ranking only just below Senators. In the Brotherhood, it was for years some of the highest ranks that any member could attain without involvement with the Dark Council or in taking command of a clan. For decades, the Equites were the bulk of our club’s leadership, driving our club forward into the future as they drove themselves toward the vaunted Elder ranks. As such, the transition from Journeyman to Equite holds a special significance for us here in the Ancient Clan of Naga Sadow.
Veil Arcana has been tirelessly destroying competitions since his joining. He’s been plugging away quietly at the Shadow Academy, at fiction competitions, and at general activity. Rarely a day goes by without a bit of mail hitting my screen with regards to something that they have earned. Clusters, crescents, and courses all have been pinned to his dossier, each a testament to his effort. In his accumulation of accolades, he has come to that threshold, to rise above his hard-fought knighthood and take his place among the equites.
Thank you Veil, for all that you have done, and for all that I know you shall do.

It seems like yesterday that I was seeing Veil’s name come across Summit’s desk for an award or promotion. Almost positive myself or the PCon scribbled our initials on a couple of reccs regarding Veil like within the last 48 hrs or something like that. Maybe just a case of Déjà vu. Seriously though not to make light of any promotion, this one is a stepping stone, exiting the Journeyman ranks and now entering the Equites!
Since his last promotion, (I swear we just knighted him) Veil continues his steady array of activity. He has been in fifty eight comps, earned himself twenty four Crescents and forty five Clusters of Ice. He has also managed to squeeze in some time over at the Shadow Academy and added another course completed to his resume.
Veil continues to impress. This is a great accomplishment in your career and without a doubt not your last. Knight Veil Arcana has reached the required 6800 XP to reach the rank of Equite 1. Congratulations on this prestigious promotion and welcome to the ranks of the Equites!

The Justicar pushed himself back from his drawing board. A collection of DB:CCG cards were arranged upon it. Noticing your presence, he pushes back his magnifying glasses and puts down his brush. "Oh, hello there. I didn't notice you come in. As you can see, I'm quite busy with my little hobby. Oh? What's that? You're not here to talk about cards? Well, that's quite aright," Kamjin's face fell as he spun his swivel chair around to face you.
"So, you want to talk about my Hand? Oh, yes, my Right Hand. Korvis. He's quite a fellow," Kamjin said, nodding his head as older people tend to do as if they're agreeing with themselves and everything they say. "Yes, I am quite pleased that he is the first person I've gotten to personally elevate to Master. Huh? What's that? Elder two? That's something for you youngins. It was Master when I was an Apprentice and it'll be Master when I'm cold in the ground. Okay, okay, settle down...Elder two it is," Kamjin smacked his lips noisily, moistening his tongue to go on.
"Where was I? Oh yes, when I first met Korvis he immediately impressed me. He was busy over with those Mandalorians. He was busy earning credits left and right. Fact, he may have earned a bit to many credits if you ask me. Course, you ask him and he needs some three-fifty for a Corvette or something. He led them on oh so many Great Hutts. What? No, I said hunts. Maybe you need your ears checked sonny. As I was saying," Kamjin wiggled a finger in his old hairy ear for good measure.
"Yes, as I was saying. He was busy running the Great Hunts and then the ProBowls. Quite a feat if you ask me. When you're a Consul you have to generate ideas for the competitions, align to the theme, get everything past the Bear. Shut-up, he absolutely is a bear. That's propanda they've been feeding you. What? No, I said propaganda. Now then, running a competition like ProBowl takes a lot of effort and Korvis did it with ease. Reviewing submissions, coordinating with his peers, and delivering results. To me, this is one of the two greatest contributions of a leader. To generate opportunities for others to advance. The other, naturally, being invested in the people and ensuring they have a good time engaging in those opportunities. What? I'm not rambling. Follow along," Kamjin annoyingly smacked his lips again.
"Now, I've known Korvis for nearly a year as my Right Hand. He's accomplished in the necessary blocking and tackling of the role. Ensuring that no clones come through the doors and that members who we suspect are treated fairly and timely. We don't need more of those Queen what's her name popping up. Moreso, during one of the largest and most challenging AI cases we've faced he dove into the research with wanton abandonment. Huh? What? Yes, that's the word I want to use. No, it doesn't mean...oh, whatever. He applied himself hard. Manually checking with me each submission. Verifying the information was tracked appropriately. Coordinating with old James the mighty that everything was updated in the system. It was quite a feet," Kamjin coughed. "Feat."
"Now, I hear Korvis is off in Scholae Palatinae. Grand Clan that one is...top stars. Why I remember when I...oh, what? Fine, I'll stick to Korvis. But, you wait I'll tell you a great story after this. So, Korvis is off as Proconsul of Scholae Palatinae. He's busy making a name for himself. While I had such an amazing time at the gala (RP) he threw for Rayne's ascension to the throne. There was this bartender there, Sparkle was her name, we had a great night before...You're right, you're right. Not important. Well, he organized the whole thing and a huge crowd showed up and then he organized a whole after-party that also saw a lot of folks appear," Kamjin gazed off, lost in his memories. You snap your fingers to bring him back to his senses.
"Right, where was I? Korvis, old Kiltpin himself as I was fond to call him. You know he actually went out in a Kilt with a Mandalorian helmet? Anyways, it's been a little over a year since we first made Korvis an Adapt. What? No, I said Adept. I haven't been saying it wrong for 30 years. No, it's not Elder one. Fine...FINE. Elder one. Whatever, kids these days. So, since he was last promoted to Elder One, he's organized 81 competitions. Not a bad number at all. He's participated in some 268 competitions. But let me tell you, only 233 of them count cause of them old brackets. He's done countless battles in the ACC and boy howdy, he's gotten himself a bushel of awards," Kamjin actually smacked his knee to make that last point.
"So now, here he is. Ready at last to be a Master. Why, I reckon if he keeps at this pace he'll be a Prophet before me. What? You changed that...Elder three? That's not a thing. Wait...where are you going? I've got more to tell you about Korvis!"

Korvyn has been on the Regent’s Staff for nearly as long as I have. In that time, Korv has learned everything there is to know about running the office. Logically, when I got the tap to step up into the Regent’s Chair, Korv was my first choice as Praetor. He’s been stalwart, dependable, flexible, and efficient in this role. His skills in what he does are matched only by his passion to provide the best possible experience for our members.
I could list all of the things he’s done as a member of staff, ad nauseum. Instead of an exhaustive list, I will provide a few key items that really illustrate how absolutely invaluable he is on the Staff. There have been at least three booster releases that were penned, almost in entirety by Korv. He’s exhaustively searched through all of our aspects, updating an unifying verbiage. He’s done the same for a QoL update focused on providing uniformity to the descriptions and weapons formatting. Additionally, he’s been responsible for penning and updating the majority of our Wiki updates over the last 2 years. The point of this is: Korv’s hard work is unmatched.
Not only was he absolutely slaying on the Regent’s staff, he balanced that with being a Consul, a Proconsul, and various roles in the Chamber of Justice. This man has done some of everything and he’s done it with spinning multiple plates. He’s doing all of this work all over the place all at the same time.
Korvis has had an immeasurable impact on this organization, most of it done in the silence of the shadow of hard work. His impact has spread far and wide. Whether that is in the Regent’s, his work with the Chamber of Justice, Clan Vizsla, Clan Scholae Palatinae, or elsewhere. You don’t have to look far to see Korv’s hand in things.
Beyond the mountains of hard work, Korvis has always held himself with dignity and respect for others. He is a model member of this organization. Moreover, I consider Korv to be a dear friend. I can think of no-one who is more worthy of of elevation to Elder 2 than Korv. Congratulations Korv. Crack open a cold one. Drinks are on you!
Thran Occasus-Palpatine, 2024-11-06 04:31:40 UTC
Korvyn is a powerhouse of experience and knowledge within our community. We value him greatly in CSP for everything he's done in the 3 months he's been here. I rely on his insight about running things as a team and I value his advice. He's great to be around. He works exceptionally well with our QUAs. Frankly, I couldn't do what I do without him. He's done so much for CSP and the DB at large, there's no question he deserve the next rank of Elder.
Since his last promotion, he's organized 81 competitions, participated in 236 unique competitions, he's earned almost 500k credits for CSP and almost 1 million for Vizsla before that, passed 20 SA courses with 6 degrees to show for it, he organized our social RP for the Clan, and he ranked up 11 times in our Societies. He's earned so many impressive medals; and Emerald Dagger, a Ruby Scepter, all three types of Novae from ProBowl, 5 Crescents with a Diamond Star, 15 Ruby, 14 Amethyst, 25 Sapphire, 11 Emerald, 10 Topaz, 3 Quartz, 382 Clusters of Fire, 33 of Ice, 46 of Graphite, Scroll of Foundation, Scroll of the Master, Seal of Loyalty, and 21 Seals of Transcendence. In addition, he's been Consul, M:RGT, P:RGT, Right Hand of Justice, AND my PCON. It's absolutely incredible. This, along with his work behind the scenes is why it would be an honor to see his elevation to the next rank.
His hard work and dedication has most definitely paid off without a doubt to get where he is today. He is a Master. Congratulations, Korvyn! You the man!
Empress Rayne Palpatine, 2024-11-06 17:35:20 UTC
Korvis without a doubt deserves this promotion. For months and months he served as basically a second "right hand man" to me on the Regent Staff - finishing out my term on The Council as Special Magistrate to the Regent - handling many things behind the scenes such as policy improvements, quality tweaks, stuff nobody else was overly eager to do but he excelled at, and continuing to offer input on other subjects. He's worked hard for several years now in a slew of positions ranging from clan leadership to council staffer positions, always pacing himself and giving up mantles when he knows he's done the time and doesn't have much left to give.
Korvis has a strong head on his shoulders, firm in his opinion but also willing to bend and move not necessarily where the wind blows, but with what's right and makes the most sense. He's a fair mediator, but believes in enforcing the rules of our community and holding others accountable to those rules regardless of who they are or their position in the community. Korv isn't afraid to speak up when things are amiss or he disagrees, and has - and is - consistently worked towards a better Brotherhood for all members.
Korvis exemplifies the work ethic, mindset, and devotion to this club that being a mid-level Elder requires. He has thoroughly earned this promotion through his consistent work for the club and his devotion to its members, and I am proud to be part of this recommendation for him to join us in the second echelon of the Elder ranks.
Congratulations, Korvis. You've earned it.

We were just here. JUST HERE. Once again, Syrena is showing us that they mean business and within days of the last one, we're doing it again. A slew of competitions finalized and this particular member was so voracious, they did all of them. Through the pain screams of my inbox, I've had more of a chance to get to know Syrena, asking each other for book recommendations, music preferences, etc. And I've found that they are happy to just be doing things. Not seeing it as some tedious burden that has to be done but a willingness to just do it. All of it. Even this old dog is impressed time and again by Syrena's drive and desire. It's not often that people make me enjoy my job, but this is one of those tasks that never gets old.
And because it's kinda my schtick, we'll get the boring metrics out of the way since just saying "It's time" might get me yelled at.
Since we were last here, two days ago, Syrena has earned the requisite 2150XP by the following activities: passed an exam in the SA, gained a Steel Cross, two Amethyst Crescents, a Cluster of Ice and six Clusters of Graphite. And while I don't know exactly how many competitions it was, but it was a handful and enough that the sound of my email receiving more and more notifications almost made me throw my phone.
Well done, Syrena. You've earned this and I look forward to writing the next one. Maybe not so fast though. Winky face or something.

At this point I am not convinced Syrena sleeps. Miho has already commented on the constant email rings, but boy it's getting to be a pretty regular thing, and for some reason it's always when I decide it's a great time to sleep. Syrena's activity is astounding, and they have certainly made a name for themselves in the clan already. At this rate it's only a matter of time before anyone running competitions in the Brotherhood has at least one entry from here.
Well done, Syrena, you have certainly earned this promotion.

It has been absolutely amazing watching J'Kast progress. While he has been a long-time member of Clan Scholae Palatinae, he recently turned his activity level up to an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. He started showing up in the Clan Discord in October, and since that time he has been a whirlwind of activity.
Check this out. Since October 10th, J'Kast has participated in 89 competitions. He has completed 72 SA exams, which earned him 15 degrees. He has ranked up in the societies 11 times. He has earned his first Grand Cross, as well as an Anteian Cross, 12 Crescents (including a Diamond), 30 Clusters of Fire, 44 Clusters of Graphite, and a Scroll of Foundation. All that in less than a month! Simply madness!
J'Kast has been active on Discord, going so far to win his first ever attempt at Discord Trivia. He's been searching for people to play games with for Gorefest. He really has been doing a bit of everything!
It has been 18 years since J'Kast received his promotion to EQ1, and I speak for all of us at CSP when I say that we're so glad that he has come back and joined in on the fun. It is my honor to recommened J'Kast for promotion to EQ2. Congratulations J'Kast! You have earned this one!

You're doing a phenomenal job, J'kast! Keep it up!
