It is my honour to be recommending Monty for this Steel Cross, though he hasn’t been in Galeres long, his work inside of Arcona has already drawn the attention of most. He continued to work hard and push himself to develop further inside of the clan. What got me the most was looking at his participation in the recent feud that followed on from the Event Horizon. He was put with a team he didn’t know and had to quickly make them work together, keeping in constant touch via email and on IRC this guy then went all out himself. Participating in an impressive amount of events and helping Arcona's activity level overall. For this, his hard work helped his team secure first place overall in this event a hard feat by any measure. For all of the above reasons, we are awarding Monty this Steel Cross. I look forward to seeing what he continues to produce in the future. Congratulations Monty and keep the hard work up.

Cethgus Tiberus Entar Aedile of House Galeres

Monty came out swinging in the Arcona/Plagueis Beyond the Horizon Event, he earned Crescents for 3rd Place in the Week 1 Gaming (QWOP) competition and 3rd Place in the Team Run-On Event. Monty also earned 5th place in the Week 2 ID Scan Event. Beyond these three competitions Monty also participated in the Week 1 Acronym Event, Week 1 Trivia Event, and Week 2 Acronym Event.

All of this was accomplished in the first Event Montresor had the opportunity to participate in. His efforts contributed 70 points to the first place Team's score, it is worth noting that first place was only secured by a 42 point margin. While he only joined the DJB only 6 weeks prior to the start of this Event his participation and abilities were key to his Team finishing First Place. Without Monty's contributions the Team would not have been able to hold the top slot in this Event.

Nicely done Monty! Keep up the good work, you've got alot of good things ahead of you!

-Valhavoc Sergeant, Dark Forge Battleteam House Galeres of Clan Arcona

As Cethgus and Valhavoc have so eloquently put it, Montresor was a veritable whirlwind of activity during the 'Beyond the Horizons' feud with Plagueis. Montresor only just moved to Galeres earlier this week, so I'm writing this with information that I was given by his former BTL in Void Squadron. Monty is the kind of guy who will put 110% into anything that is put before him. He is quite new to the Brotherhood but seems to have fitted in quite nicely, shooting up through the ranks as one often sees the new breed of leadership do. But this medal isn't about how Monty did outside of the Feud, but how he did within it. Monty was one of the top scorers and was part of the winning team. I'm pleased to see Montresor awarded for his hard work during Beyond the Horizons with this Steel Cross.

Well done, Monty. Congrats, mate.

I'm writing this recommendation for Etah to receive a Steel Cross for his work in 'Beyond the Horizons', the Feud between Arcona and Plagueis. Etah placed 4th in the Battleplan, as well as participating in [Week 1] Acronyms, [Week 1] Graphics, [Week 1] Poetry, [Week 1] Flash Game (QWOP), [Week 1] Trivia, [Week 2] Trivia, [Week 2] Graphics and he also helped his team to 4th place in the Run-on. Etah's hard work extended further than just participating in the Feud. He also encouraged members of his Battleteam to participate, both of whom assisted their teams greatly, as well as contributing to the overall activity and score of House Galeres. Etah has shown his ability to encourage others and I wish to show my appreciate for his dedication to the Shadow Clan and the Brotherhood at large with this Steel Cross. Congratulations, Etah.

Sanguinius Tsucyra Entar Quaestor of House Galeres

I am proud to be writing a recommendation for Etah to receive a Steel Cross. His participation in the feud was outstanding as well as his hard work and willingness to get the job done. He was given a team that he didn’t know an asked to work with them, a task that he got straight onto by emailing the whole team, as the email chain grew so did the direction of the Run-on as well as the participation that the whole team undertook. He helped his team secure third place and made himself a valued member of the team, giving input and participating as much as possible. From this he learned a new set of skills as well as participating he was also driving his own Battleteam to do the very best they could, leading by example as well as staying in touch with them. For all of his hard work and as Sang mentioned above, effort I am happy to be giving him this medal. Congratulations Etah and keep up the hard work.

I am proud to be recommending Kalon for a Steel Cross. His recent activity and participation in the feud has seen him rewarded with this medal. His hard work, time and effort during the feud have seen its impact on the number and level of participation as a whole. During this feud, Kalon was constantly contacting the members of his team and participating in the events. His participation and placement in these competitions was impressive. As well as this, his constant presence and drive to get himself involved in these events meant he has also been constantly active and around on IRC during this time. Talking with other members of the clan as well as the house. He has helped improve the activity of Galeres in these recent times and boost the output that the House has. For all of the effort and contribution that he has done, I am honoured to be awarding him a Steel Cross. Keep up the hard work in the future and I look forward to seeing what you do. Congratulations Kalon.

Cethgus Tiberus Entar Aedile of House Galeres

Kalon Dane placed third in both poetry and graphics in the Beyond Horizons Feud and competing in four other feud competitions, earning a total of 90 points and placing 14th overall. Without his assistance his team would not have placed fourth in the run-on or third place overall. For all these reasons, Kalon Dane has earned a Steel Cross. Congratulations Kalon!

Etah d'Tana Battleteam leader of Spectre Cell House Galeres

As Etah and Cethgus have already said, Kalon has been a veritable beacon of activity. Kalon only recently joined Galeres from Qel Droma but dove straight into things with 'Beyond the Horizons'. The hours that he put into each entry enabled him to place in both graphics and poetry. Kalon is one of my active DJKs, who has quickly proven how valuable a member he is by working with both his Clanmates AND other members of the DB from a different unit. His dedication to the Brotherhood and to the Shadow Clan can only be awarded by this Steel Cross. Congratulations, Kalon.

I am proud to be recommending Dark Jedi Master Troutrooper for a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. His hard work and dedication in such a short period of time to Arcona has been outstanding as well as his placing in a Feud that has just finished against House Plagueis.

In ‘Beyond the Horizon’, Troutrooper was an active and motivated member. Driving not only himself but his fellow team members forward and helping his team as a whole achieve first place. While this was impressive enough during a feud that followed on from Horizons, he also managed to net himself a second place position. Racking in a number of awards as well as participating in the events that had been laid out during the course of the two weeks that this event was held for. Troutrooper led by example, showing and driving members outside of his assigned team, he was also an example and inspiring presence inside of his Battleteam during this time. Seeing the experienced members throwing themselves fully into this event encouraged the other members to give it their all.

Performing admirably and keeping a constant level of contact with his team members at the same time, Troutrooper’s efforts, time and hard fought victories helped achieve second place overall. His efforts have not been ignored and we truly appreciated the devotion he has shown Arcona. Congratulations on the Grand Cross, I look forward to seeing more from you in the future. Keep up the hard work.

Cethgus Tiberus Entar Aedile of House Galeres

Troutrooper was a paragon of activity in the Arcona/Plagueis Beyond the Horizon event. He participated in all 13 of the competitions which were run during it, earning two First Place finishes both Week 1 and Week 2 Fictions, one Second Place finish for the Poetry Competition, and two Third Place finishes for his Battleplan and the Team Run-On Event. His tenacity and skill earned him a total of 212 points during the competition, securing him in 2nd Place overall.

In addition to his individual performance TT consistently worked to assist Montresor with his Run on Fiction. As a new member participating in your first Run On can be confusing at times, and TT was always there to give Monty suggestions on a direction he could go and to help by proofreading his entries.

Well done TT! You've done Galeres proud and deserve every bit of this Grand Cross.

Congratulations!

-Valhavoc Sergeant, Dark Forge Battleteam

House Galeres of Clan Arcona

As Cethgus and Valhavoc have mentioned, Troutrooper has only been in Arcona a short time, but his activity is phenomenal. This was highlighted during the recent 'Beyond the Horizons' event with Plagueis. Troutrooper narrowly missed out on first place with some fantastic entries to the competitions. TT was also a beacon of encouragement during the event and took it upon himself to help push his team to victory. His assistance to a new member also made me realise just how much of an asset Troutrooper is to Galeres and Arcona. Congratulations, Troutrooper. You've done yourself proud.

I am honoured to be recommending Wes Biriuk Erinos for an Anteian Cross. Being put in a team that he didn’t know, Wes had to quickly get to know the team by communicating with them via email as well as on IRC. After that, he then focused on participating in events for the feud, helping his team in not only getting points but by encouraging them to constantly do their very best. His hard work and efforts in this feud has not only helped him, but helped Arcona and House Galeres with the level of activity that we have seen being produced by our members. Wes has been a able member who has pushed himself and helped House Galeres continued to build its level of activity up. For all of you hard work and dedication to the Clan, his efforts have gotten him noticed. Keep up the hard work in the future Wes and congratulations.

Cethgus Tiberus Entar Aedile of House Galeres

As Cethgus states, Wes was an active participant within 'Beyond the Horizons'. My term as Quaestor has been defined by the activity of the House and I was so pleased to see so many Galereans participating in the feud against Plagueis. Wes worked hard to get entries in despite having to deal with real life. The dedication to his House and Clan that he showed can only be awarded by an Anteian Cross. Congratulations, Wes.

I have the privilege to be recommending Teu for an Steel Cross. Her recent work inside of the Feud as well as her activity since she has joined Clan Arcona has impressed me. She has helped build up the level of activity that we have seen inside of House Galeres, always trying to get involved in anything she could, as well as having a constant level of activity inside of the IRC channel. Though through the feud she was an active and dedicated member of her team, and kept in touch through email. For all of her hard work and helping as a member to bolster up the general level of activity inside House Galeres we believe that she is deserving on this reward. Keep up the hard work Teu, and thank you for everything that you have done so far for our House. Congratulations on the Steel Cross.

Cethgus Tiberus Entar Aedile of House Galeres.

Teu participated in five of the competitions during the Arcona/Plagueis Beyond the Horizon Event. These included Week 1 Acronyms, Week 1 Graphics, Week 1 Gaming (QWOP), Week 1 Trivia, and the Team Run-On Event. With Teu's help, her Team placed 5th in the Run-On. Teu made the time to complete entries for these events even with the Holiday season competing for her attention, and shortly after her transition to Clan Arcona.

Well done Teu! Congratulations!

-Valhavoc Sergeant, Dark Forge Battleteam House Galeres of Clan Arcona

Teu is another recent addition to our Clan, coming to us from Clan Naga Sadow. Teu seemed to worry that she wouldn't settle into the House as well as she did. Seeing as she had just completed three years of service as a leader within Naga Sadow. However, despite what she may think, she made that leap admirably. She worked hard to participate, even though the feud was occurring during exam period for her. She took time out of her busy schedule to put in the entries to help her team place as they did. Without her, team 1 would've been a lower place. Teu is one of most valued members, always up to help members and assist in projects, even when she's dealing with issues in rl. I hope this medal reflects the high regard that I hold for Teu. Congratulation Teu.

I am honoured to be recommending this Steel Cross for Inarya. Her hard work over the past few weeks and participation in the feud has counted towards the overall level of activity that this event has produced. Following on from Horizons, this feud brought random teams to work together, instantly we saw Inarya keeping in touch with her team and pushing the members of it to work as a unit showing the core of what this whole event was about. As if her level of participation wasn’t enough alone, she has herself been a valuable member in helping House Galeres bring up its activity as a whole, being one of the members at the forefront of this and helping the House to achieve a high level of activity in this feud. For all of her time and effort she has put in to Arcona, Galeres and the Horizon follow on Feud I am proud to be rewarding her with a Steel Cross. Congratulations Inarya, keep up the hard work.

Cethgus Tiberus Entar Aedile of House Galeres.

During the Arcona/Plagueis Beyond the Horizon event Inarya participated in seven of the competitions, earning a Crescent with Amethyst Star for placing 3rd in the ID Scan event. In addition to the ID Scan she submitted entries for the Week 1 Fiction, Week 1 Graphics, Week 1 Gaming (QWOP), Week 1 and Week 2 Trivia events, and participated in the Run On with her team. Inarya led her Team in the Event with total points earned, setting the example with her level of participation and while pushing other Team Members to press on with the Event.

I am proud to recommend that she receives a Steel Cross for her efforts during this Event. Congratulations Inarya!

-Valhavoc Sergeant, Dark Forge Battleteam House Galeres of Clan Arcona

As Cethgus and Valhavoc so eloquently put it, Inarya has been a source of encouragement for members of both Arcona AND Plagueis during the recent feud between the two units. She went out of her way to encourage her team mates, all the while she was putting out entries and doing uni work. Inarya did recently return from a bout of inactivity and I'm pleased to see her return to form through 'Beyond the Horizons' and show a glimpse of the potential she has a member of Galeres. Congratulations on your Steel Cross, Inarya.
