Event History

Mune (aka Moon Moon) continues to do fantastic work as Praetor to the Master at Arms. Since his last recognition in March 2021, Mune has spearheaded the great clean up of the mess that is a decade's plus worth of Master at Arms related wiki articles. From policy documents, to stuff on medals, to stale-dated articles on how to appropriately award your members, Mune has scoured the wiki in order to combine, delete, and update them where appropriate. For this work, I am very much appreciative - and I am thankful he's going to keep doing it.

Mune's day-to-day work in the MAA office has continued at pace - he continues to process the requests as they come into the database, and into our group email account (say, when someone needs a competition edited). In that, he's processed hundreds of competition, medal, and promotion requests, and for every higher level merit, equite or higher promotion, or sacramental award - he's been involved in discussing the merits (ha!) of the recommendation.

For his continued excellent service, I award him an Amethyst Kukri. Congratulations Mune, and thank you.

Since his last recognition (August, 2020), Xantros has participated in 131 total competitions. Of this amazing showing, 25 of these competitions were for the Plagueis Pro Bowl which is an impressive 100% participation rate. He earned a Top 10 overall placement in this event and earned 161 points for his team. For his efforts, Xantros has earned 1 Crescent with Diamond Star, 3 Crescents with Ruby Star, 9 Crescents with Amethyst Star, 14 Crescents with Sapphire Star, 9 Crescents with Emerald Star and 2 Crescents with Topaz Star. These crescents are in recognition for a variety of activities! For gaming, Xantros has participated in 83 PvP matches, being a staple of the DJB Hearthstone community. For his gaming efforts he has earned 603 Clusters of Fire. On the fictional front, Xantros has participated in 27 fiction activities excluding the ACC, and has earned 55 Clusters of Ice for writing 23,424 words of fiction and 2,344 Run On words. He has also earned 26 Clusters of Graphite for his artistic endeavors.

In the last year, Xantros has also organized or co-organized 19 competitions, including an incredibly popular puzzle series which is ongoing as of writing. Xantros has also passed 8 Shadow Academy courses and gained one degree, and was also awarded 1 Scroll of Foundation for their admirable service to the Shadow Academy.

Beyond his recognition for SA service, I must return to Xantros’s leadership - both formal, and informal. Between August 2020 to July 2021, Xantros served 11 months as an Aedile. In this role, he was a pillar of the Scholae Palatinae community. As has already been remarked, Xantros consistently leads by example with his high level of activity, communicated regularly with his House members together and one-on-one via e-mail, and worked with the Clan Summit to develop Clan lore and completed other administrative tasks. And though he resigned from the position of Aedile, Xantros continues to lead by example through his high rates of activity, and by positively encouraging members to communicate and do more through consistent and polite chat engagement.

For their ongoing contributions to Clan Scholae Palatinae and this club, I hereby nominate Xantros for an Amethyst Kukiri. Congratulations, and keep up the amazing work.

Alaris -bleeping- Jinn: the myth, the legend. Since their return to Clan Plagueis Alaris has established themselves as a truly indefensible part of the Ascendant Clan, both as dynamo of activity as well as a damn fine leader. It is no exaggeration to say that my work as Consul would be immeasurably harder if not for Alaris's fine work as my right hand, but even that is selling the blue one a bit short. Alaris has been much more a partner in crime as it were than a subordinate, providing invaluable counsel as we have both worked to drive the Clan forward.

As an individual competitor, Alaris has shown out at the most exceptional level. During the recent Rite of Supremacy: Escalation Alaris submitted to 16 competitions (earning 16 seals along with them) while placing top ten in 7 of them. When the Pro Bowl came along, however, Alaris really kicked it into gear with their return to the event for the first time since the second Pro Bowl while they were a member of Taldryan. Alaris was a perfect 25 for 25 when it came to competition entries, grabbed a top three finish in 8 of those competitions, amassed 196 total points, and took second place overall out of 56 total entrants. In all, Alaris has submitted to 101 competitions since their last recognition (over half of that coming since assuming the position of Proconsul) and brought home 45 competition awards for their placements: 1 each of the Gold, Silver, and Bronze novae to complement 4 Diamond, 4 Ruby, 12 Amethyst, 11 Sapphire, 3 Emerald, 1 Topaz, and 2 Quartz crescents. They've grabbed a cross section of clusters as well, with 203 Clusters of Earth and 39 Clusters of Fire for gaming, 11 Clusters of Ice for their 3,714 word of fiction and 2 RO posts, and 6 Clusters of Graphite for graphics entries. Quite the haul on its own.

However, Alaris has also been an indispensable part of the Plagueis summit. During the Rite of Supremacy we decided that it would be best if Alaris and myself split ourselves between the two teams most likely to attract members of Clan Plagueis. Even though our personal preference might have been to stick together, especially for team events, Alaris knew that ensuring that a top level summit member was on each team and in each team chat would be integral to offer guidance and encouragement to all our Clan members. Alaris was a vocal and contributing presence within their team, helping me guide our House summit members in how and when best to message their members and maintain engagement. They have completed assigned summit reports on time as requested while helping to oversee the communications being sent out by the House summits as well. And, as alluded to above, Alaris has provided much needed input on all policy decisions that the Clan has made since joining the summit, as well as helped mediate minor conflicts that have arisen and provide constructive feedback to summit members on where there were opportunities for them to do even better.

An ever present voice in summit chat, Alaris is the very epitome of what it means to be a Proconsul. Plagueis would not be where it is, generating 220+ entries during a multi-clan event, without their tireless and expert work on the Clan summit. I would like to offer my hearty thanks for the work they do every day to make Plagueis a Clan that all of us can be proud to call home.

There is a lot to be said about Tasha ‘Vel Versea, so I am going to try to highlight as many of her accolades as I can. There were two people who reached out to me when I first returned to active status within the Club. Tasha was the first to make contact with me and get this ol’ crusty guy on his way! As Rollmaster she has ALWAYS been the first to reach out to new and returning members coming into the Clan. Tasha’s professionalism and caring nature towards members of CNS is not only a welcoming and inviting comfort for any member. It is just a brief snapshot of her prowess and tenacity.

Since her last promotion, she has organized or co-organized thirteen comps and participated in 122 separate competitions. Beyond this, Tasha has authored 8986 words of fiction, and has written another 2869 words over nine Run-On posts.

Tasha’s expertise does not just focus on her literary adeptness, she is also a fierce gamer amongst Club members. She has participated in two hundred and twenty two PvE activities, fought in 32 PvP matches earning her a lot of clusters. Her PVE has earned 1832 Clusters of Earth while her PVE/PVO activities have earned another 307 since her last promotion.

Speaking of Clusters, she has also earned 25 Clusters of Ice for writing, 35 Clusters of Graphite for her artistic endeavors. She has also earned three variations of Seals for Vendetta participation: 18 Seals of Discord, 12 Seals of Visions and 19 seals of Emnity. She didn't just earn those Seals for her Vendetta, by the way! She also got a Bronze Nova in the latest Vendetta as a member of her RO team for the event.

Additionally our illustrious Rollmaster has also earned six PoB’s for leveling character in Heroes of the Storm. We would be remiss if we didn't point out that her competitive nature has also helped our Rollmaster to earn 4 Crescents with Diamond Star, 2 with Ruby Star, 11 with Amethyst Star, 5 with Sapphire Star, 3 with Emerald Star and 2 with Topaz Star. These accolades make her a force to be reckoned with amongst our gaming community. Her tenacity and level-headedness has also garnered her a prestigious position serving on the Chamber of Justice’s Appeals Panel.

Tasha can be viewed as the mother of children to the folks of Clan Naga Sadow. When in need, Tasha spearheads any assistance our members may require resolving obstacles in a very professional and orchestrated manner. One example is how she has assisted at least one member in organizing their character sheet from start to finish- such a small, innocent act of kindness speaks volumes across the Clan. Her background in education makes her the perfect fit to be CNS’s Rollmaster, she has a way with our members that I can only describe as second to none over her last 25 months serving as our Rollmaster.

She is a VERY sage resource when it comes to story development. Her ability to examine facts and place them in chronological and relevant order has helped with Clan Naga Sadow’s fictional development and growth. She assisted with the Clan Naga Sadow and Clan Taldryan fictional development for the Unchained Malady cross-Clan Event. With a fresh set of eyes and sharp mind, Tasha’s counsel is continually sought after at all levels of the Clan.

One of her research projects discovered that previous Clan leaders' fictional works were incorrectly annotated and not given credit for their works. Over 35k of words stemming from reports and Discourse writing towards Clan development and history were sifted out and correctly dispersed to the appropriate individuals giving them their deserved credit and accolades. That is the epitome of a dogged investigation of member activity records, not to mention selflessness at its best.

Battlelord Tasha ‘Vel Versea is a PILLAR of leadership within the Clan. We believe that she is deserving of this Amethyst Kukri.

Her outstanding efforts and accolades reinforce the respect earned and camaraderie developed throughout the Club and Clan. Tasha is more than deserving of this milestone accomplishment, congratulations Tasha and thank you for your relentless efforts to better our Clan. It is with GREAT pleasure that I can be a link in this chain towards her accomplishments.

Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow

Blade spent 9 months as Consul since her last recognition and has seen remained an active member in Clan Odan-Urr as well as a member of my own staff as Magistrate to the Grand Master. As Consul during this time frame, she ran an event for members called Escapades of Odan-Urr, as well as a multi-Clan event with Plagueis called The Myrkr Crusade, in total organizing 55 different competitions while participating in 141 of them. Her leadership in Clan Odan-Urr in managing the summit has built up the community in some lasting ways as she transitioned leadership to a new Consul to focus her energies elsewhere. As a member of my staff she has only started to get engaged as a Magistrate and her produced some great research and data to guide my decisions as Grand Master, with little guidance to give me exactly what I needed. For her leadership as a Consul, her participation as a member during the latest Vendetta, and the accomplishments already supporting me in my own efforts she has earned this Amethyst Kukri. Congratulations Aura!

For nearly 2 years now Shadow has lead Clan Scholae Palatinae, with time as a Quaestor before, she has led the Clan through 2 different vendettas, while organizing 2 different Clan level events to drive the story forward and 5 different Halloween, Sithmas or Spring break themed events providing a wide range of competitions for members of the Clan in 56 different individual competitions. While herself participating in over 150 different competitions and earning a wide range of competition medals. I have watched her manage multiple internal proposals, taking risks to find the right structure for the Clan itself hoping to find some new means of engagement and drive. Shadow has managed to find consensus among a Clan of strong personalities, one of which I'm greatly familiar, to drive a story forward which continues to show itself with the latest rounds of plans to revitalize the Imperial Clan. For all her work and efforts as a leader, she has earned this Amethyst Kirki for her efforts. Congratulations.

For over a year since her last promotion to Equite 4, Lucine has been at the head of Clan Arcona as Consul and leader. She saw the Clan through the latest Rite of Supremacy Vendetta and participated herself. She organized and oversaw a Clan wide event called Deep Waters Rising, as well as a normal completely uneventful vacation. Her amazing communication with members of the Clan and maintaining a rewarding experience and community for members made her an incredible Consul of Arcona these past twelve months. She has definitely earned this Amethyst Kukri, congratulations Lucine.

Over the past year as Fist, Justinios has contributed greatly to Dark Council with his participation and guidance as well as to the office of Fist and gaming. He has helped, as many Fists do, to revise the Rites of Combat, oversaw the launch of and addition of Squadrons as a platform in our community kept all the existing games in balance, and reviewed their inclusion to find a set of supported games for the community, brought new focus into TOR and continues to find ways to leverage the game, somehow managed to keep the peace with the gaming chat channel, managed and trained his staff to keep up with the day day, and most recently ran a successful set of competitions in the Rite of Supremacy Vendetta. His impacts on gaming and the Brotherhood this past year have been great. For all this great work, he has earned this Amethyst Kukri. Congratulations Justinios!

We all wish to have members like Zoron on our rosters. Activity levels off the charts, friendly and like by the clan members, willing to jump in where he sees a need. If I could design an ideal member Zoron would probably be about as close as I could get.

Since his last recognition nearly a year ago Zoron has participated in 117 competitions, including 21 in the Rites of Supremecy. He has earned 4 nova in the recent vendetta two gold and two bronze. A total of 74 crescents have been won, 219 Clusters of Fire and 902 Clusters of Earth.

Even before becoming Proconsul, Zoron was a valued member of the Clan Summit chat, offering his wisdom and experience from a litany of positions he has held over the years. He also took it upon himself to take on the Clan Wiki pages. He reworked the pages to make them more cohesive and fixed grammatical errors and retooled the templates to better represent Vizsla. His edits to the Wiki have been ongoing for months now.

His and Farrin’s assistance in creating, updating, and management of several Spreadsheets has greatly helped me in my work of making sure that the members of Vizsla are recognized and awarded for their contributions to the clan and brotherhood at large.

Sometimes I wonder where Zoron finds time for all that he does. Then I remember a saying, “You make time for the things you love.” There is no doubt that Zoron loves his clanmates, his clan, and the brotherhood. You simply don’t put forth the effort levels that he does if you don’t care. It is with great pleasure that I present this award to you for all you do for Vizsla and the Brotherhood.

Ever since Aylin became one of my Magistrates she has always been ready to take on tasks by herself and has been willing to learn how to tackle new things. She's incredibly versatile when it comes to drawing art and is always available to handle new graphic requests on Trello.

3-months since Aylin started working in the Herald's office she has completed the Combat Master's website graphics and 2 high-quality warbanners. She professionally handled all the communication between her and the requesting member for the final graphics approval.

Aside from the work, she does as a Magistrate she also maintains a constant presence in DB Art chat, showing off her own personal work, interacting with members, and keeping the place in a positive spirit.

Keep up the good work!
