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!"

Master Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz, 2024-11-07 01:50:02 UTC

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.

Proconsul Mihoshi Keibatsu, 2024-11-06 23:11:55 UTC

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.

Padawan Tisto Kingang, 2024-11-05 01:01:30 UTC

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!

Warlord Vincent Brujah, 2024-11-04 18:05:44 UTC

Jkast has been a maelstrom of activity recently. My inbox has exploded with his Shadow Academy work and the multitude of competitions he's participated in. The fire seemed to really spark within him since his last Anteian Cross and it's been such a pleasure to have him around. He has most definitely earned this rank up in the Equite ranks. You're doing a phenomenal job, J'kast! Keep it up!

Empress Rayne Palpatine, 2024-11-04 18:02:04 UTC

Frenek Mausma, you continue to impress. You're growing more competent each day and you will surely rival the Council when the time is right. You have met the requirements for promotion, and a recommendation has been filed.

I will continue to watch your progress, Frenek Mausma, but my direct intervention in your promotions must come to an end.

You will go far within this Brotherhood.

May the Force guide you, Journeyman,

Dr. Ben, 2024-11-03 12:59:25 UTC

You're already beginning to make a name for yourself, Neko. I have heard reports from House Sunrider that you have managed to accumulate 5 XP.

I have recommended you for immediate promotion.

Congratulations, and may the Force guide you, Novice,

Dr. Rhylance

Dr. Ben, 2024-11-03 04:21:40 UTC

Neko, you have successfully completed the Trial of Identity and confirmed your e-mail address, for which you have earned the rank of Apprentice. While you may currently be on a shuttle to House Sunrider, I will continue to follow your progress with great interest.

May the Force guide you, Apprentice,

Vyrese, Huntmaster, always lost somewhere in the Bayou stalking some unimaginable things. You've certainly made a name for yourself reaching Knighthood through nothing other than Gaming. While I know you're not going to find this through our Discord Notifications (I'm going to get you in here one day) I know you'll see it in your email inbox and maybe it'll bring you a smile. Even at arms length you've been a good part of our community, gaming with Nero and myself, throwing into various competitions, and keeping yourself active, when it is all too easy to fall out of touch with the community. You've more than earned this promotion, congratulations for it! I look forward to what the future brings you and what your particular brand of mayhem will bring us.

Ever onwards, my friend!

High Councillor Wolfe, 2024-11-02 23:37:28 UTC

Wooo. Reached the first real milestone in the db through mostly gaming. Do you regret me dragging you here yet? All jokes aside, Vyrese is an amazing guy and a great friend. One day he'll come join us in the shenanigans of the discord. Gratz on getting JM4. I know you're not big into the fiction side so I'll hold off on the Knighting fiction.

Blade Master Nero Ashraven, 2024-10-31 20:22:15 UTC

I find myself in the enviable position of getting to write a recommendation for Vyrese's rise to Knighthood. This is a big step for any member of the Brotherhood and they have certainty earned it. While they have only recently become a member of Hoth, they have been a noticeable buzz of activity. Well done, Vyrese, I hope to see this activity continue.

Padawan Tisto Kingang, 2024-11-01 16:43:10 UTC

Where does one even begin with such a beacon of joy and hope? Syrena has been a very vocal, inquisitive, and helpful member of Odan-Urr since her recent arrival. She has learned her way around the community at large and helped to teach other new arrivals the ropes. She's made her presence known throughout the Roleplay and Art community in relatively short order, throwing herself at every challenge placed before her, doing so with an infectious spirit and energy that has garnered the attention of our Summit. Having had the pleasure of seeing her burn through the ranks with such ease, I'm glad to see her trajectory within the club, and I cannot wait to see exactly where she ends up in the future.

Ever onwards!

High Councillor Wolfe, 2024-11-02 23:13:54 UTC

Since her last promotion, Syrena has been one of the cornerstones of the Clan. Always happy to talk about literally anything under the sun and more than excited to learn more and more as each day passes. In the boring metrics, Syrena has earned the requisite 1300 XP to be promoted. To attain this number, she has participated in 12 competitions, in which she has claimed 3 Sapphire Crescents and 3 clusters of graphite. To top it off, she has dug in whole-heartedly into the RP system, with 2600 words already stacked in the pile. Coupled with a handful of Society ranks, this member has shown that diligence and tenacity are still hallmarks of getting it done. Well done and well earned, Syrena. I look forward to the next one.

Proconsul Mihoshi Keibatsu, 2024-10-31 01:56:03 UTC

Were to start with Syrena. In the past two weeks, she has been one of the more active members of House Hoth. It has been amazing watching someone come in with such a desire to explore the whole of the club. She fully participated in every part of the most recent House event, and from what I saw of her work I look forward to seeing what she does next.

Padawan Tisto Kingang, 2024-11-01 00:14:37 UTC

Brujah has been a stable and unyielding force for CSP since his return earlier this year in January. He has hustled to get where he is and now all his hard work has paid off. He's a rockstar and everything we look for in a leader and a fantastic member of our community. I'm delighted and honored to welcome him to the rank of Equite 4.

He's done so much for the Clan and himself. For starters, his work as QUA has been nothing short of exemplary for the past 5 months. He's hard-working and dedicated and it shows through his contributions. He's participated in over 331 unique competitions of all kinds, organized a total of 18 competitions for the Clan, earned 1.2 million credits for the Clan, battled it out in the ACC tourney, continually wrote fictions to develop his character(s), ranked up 16 times in our Societies, and passed 16 SA courses with 4 degrees gained. He's earned an Amethyst Kukri, a Sapphire Blade, 2 silver Nova and 1 Bronze, a Dark Side Scroll, a Scroll of the Master, Crescents of all kinds from placing in competitions including 5 Diamond Stars, 360 Clusters of Fire, 36 Clusters of Ice, and 57 Clusters of Graphite. He's done it all and so much more! He's fun to be around in chat and makes friends where he goes. I can think of no one else deserving of the rank befitting one of his caliber. Thank you for everything you've done! Drinks and fire are on you this day!

Empress Rayne Palpatine, 2024-11-02 15:51:19 UTC

I have been back in CSP for just a couple of months. From day one Vincent has been every bit the workhorse. He has taken to his role as Quaestor and ran with it. He provides regular updates to the clan on competitions that are running. He is ever present in summit discussions and willing to jump in and get his feet wet to promote the competitions and ideas that the summit puts forward. This can be seen by his jumping in and participating in both of the recent RP sessions I ran.

He works well with his counterpart Nemo in splitting up competition running duties swapping out who is running what to make sure there is plenty for our members to do and that neither quaestor gets burned out from repeating the same things over and over. House Caliburnis is in great hands with Vincent at its helm and I am super stoked to congratulate him on reaching Equite 4.

Hand of the Emperor Korvyn, 2024-10-30 01:27:31 UTC

Brujah, Vincent, or Vinny B as I have just now decided to call him. I had the pleasure of working with Vinny B when I was Consul of CSP. During that time he brought unparalleled energy, excitement, and activity to his role. He quickly took to the standards we had laid out for QUAs and exceeded the expectation. He is an excellent leader, cornerstone of the CSP community, and a blast to be around.

Be it organizing competitions, or shooting the poo on discord, Vinny B is an excellent representation of the dedication that can be shown by some of our returning rogue members. From the day he transferred back into CSP, he has been off to the races with activity. This man does everything he possibly can. Nothing gets in his way. He attacks and gets the job done, then moves on to the next thing.

I won’t drone on about his activity levels, but I will add that Brujah has also brought a great sense of humor to our community. He’s always there with a joke or finding a way to spice up the conversation. In many ways he has reminded me of the reason that we all spend our spare time doing DJB activities; For Fun. Brujah brings the fun to everything he does.

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to get to know him and witness his return. It has been nothing short of spectacular. Congratulations on this elevation, Brujah. You’ve earned this. Drinks are on you!
