The Deputy Combat Master is never overlooked, he is my right hand and the biggest help I have in all aspects of the ACC. From approving Character Sheets to Judging battles, DA Halcyon is the best “2nd” anyone could ask for. If I had my druthers I’d buy him a beer, give him a huge pat on the back and say “thanks”, but I can’t – he’ll have to settle for this. <br> <br> Since his awarding of an Emerald Dagger about 5 months ago, Halcyon has continued to prove himself as indispensable. While others may be so, in their own right, no one can hold a candle to the DCM. His name is slathered all over the new additions to the compendium, from the rank structure, to the history, to the pilot’s den to his latest feat with the new Rite of Exaltation. If I had to step down as CM, there’s only 1 person that I would recommend to take my place – DA Halcyon. If there was something I just couldn’t get to, and I needed someone I could trust to get it done, there’s only 1 person I’d go to – DA Halcyon. He is the ‘go-to’ guy for many aspects of the ACC, constantly making sure that he’s ‘on my page’ and even helping to keep the staff in line when they need it. He’s looked up to and honored by the staff, by combatants and by me as an asset to this platform and the entirety of the Brotherhood. For 5 months of unabated dedication, work ethic and a confidence instilling presence, I recommend DA Halcyon for the Grand Cross of the Dark Side. ~ DA Dalthid, Combat Master.

Service to the Brotherhood, through the ACC, can be achieved in three main positions apart from direct leadership; Judge, Trainer and ACCLive! Judge. Each of them has specific duties while, at the same time, maintaining a lot of similar aspects. A primary part of any position, and integral to the ACC staff itself, is interaction. The staff interacts, in one way or another, with the body of the Brotherhood on a daily basis. Whether opening a battle as a Judge, posting and commenting as a Trainer or sitting on IRC waiting for the next match as a Live! Judge, ‘face time’ with the membership is inevitable. Most staffers start green and have to wade through a lot of muck before truly being accepted by their peers who are not on staff. Others come from positions of leadership and fit right in with the operations of the Centre – but neither is any less skilled. Their job can be taxing, it can be boring, it can be exciting and it can be nerve racking – above all, it can be thankless. The Grand Cross of the Dark Side, an award for service to one’s Clan in areas meant to encourage competition and interaction between members, has been selected as an award appropriate in the ACC. It will often come with no less than 6 months active duty, a good rapport with the DB membership and an ability/work ethic that is often above reproach. <br> SW Brujah Tamalar is currently one of the most active Judges on staff. His battle ratings are sound and he is not quick to act in a matter that he is uncertain of. He has no ego about his position and, save one or two rare cases, I am given nothing but good feedback about him. For six months he has been consistent in his duties and risen beyond his primary duties to help with ACCLive! Despite the ACC’s Live! staff, SW Brujah can often be found running battles and even fighting one or two. In the ‘slow’ times of the holidays, school mid-terms etc. he is also one of the first to make sure that the queue is up to date and that nothing sits too long. He is a very hard worker, but above that, he is a great worker. It is my pleasure to thank him by recommending him for the Grand Cross of the Dark Side. ~DA Dalthid, Combat Master.

The days of the ACC ‘rush’ are gone and the numbers have dwindled to a dull roar. In these times, when ‘numbers’ don’t seem as impressive, we are forced to try and relay the aspects of ACC positions in ways that will make individuals ‘worthy’ of awards. All of what we do is behind the scenes; judging, training, opening battles, working on ACC improvements etc. and don’t really lend themselves to much in the way of outward and obvious displays of accomplishment. Suffice it to say, Initiates are still trained, battles are still judged, qualifications are still on-going and facets of the ACC are always being improved – and that is the daily grind of the ACC. With that, the most obvious trait that is possessed by a staff member is ‘extended service’ as the Steel Cross describes. Due to influences beyond the ACC, some staff members aren’t ‘rockets’ of activity when it comes to the extracurricular. They are merely content with doing their job. I am utterly thankful for those who stay straight, press on and make themselves the ‘work-horses’ and ‘grunts’ of the ACC. They lend their time when they can, and do well with what they take on, but often – I know they’ll be there just to do the ‘daily’ work. I can count on them, and that is a great accomplishment. For his extended service to the ACC, I recommend SBL Vessicant for the Steel Cross.
