Since re-joining Arcona, Smoke (Ma`ar-Tyrius Bruth'Kothae Ga-Tir) has arguably become THE premier Arconan. Let us first just look at his activity. Smoke has the highest total of CF’s within the entire Brotherhood. Since joining Arcona, he has earned literally hundreds of CF’s. One can just imagine how many actual matches had been played for one to achieve that number of medals. That alone will perhaps make him one of the most active MP-player around, if not the most active. However, there’s more. As just a “regular” member of Oriens Obscurum, Smoke participated in every competition that I had put out as Quaestor, and winning a number of them. As Quaestor, he had also participated in the bulk of the Clan-wide competitions that had been made, as well as continuing to make sure his House had plenty of competitions as well. He has made numerous MB signature banners for members of the House, including myself and Quejo. He is a constant presence, both on the messageboards as well as on IRC. His activity levels have earned for him the job of Gaming Tribune, a job in which medal awards are given out right after the events is over. He has also managed to update the point totals for the Sunday Invitational, having to go through months and months of old matches to get everything straightened out. He was also the House Envoy of Oriens Obscurum, personally e-mailing each and every new member of the house in a timely manner (and I know this since he cc’s me on every mail).

However, it is not just his activity for which he is deserving of this medal. It is also his great job as a leader in Arcona and his job as Quaestor with which we honour him. He came to Arcona due to troubling circumstances in his old Clan. As soon as he joined, he was already e-mailing me with suggestions and offers of help. He was soon named Aedile, and as my right-hand man was a driving force in rebuilding the House. With him, the House was stabilized and the “bleeding” that was happening was curtailed and new policies were put in place. When the job of QUA came up, his was the only real name considered. Under his tenure, Oriens Obscurum has gone from a house that was barely active, to being a house bursting with activity from its members. The turn-around is tremendous, and the activity level has improved by leaps and bounds.
Great job Smoke, and thank you.

For consistant and flawless Envoy work. Since I became Clan Envoy, and a long time before, Manji has performed his job as House Envoy for House Marka Ragnos quickly and efficiently, every member is greeted as soon as they join and every report has been prompt and informative on both activity and events in his House and the Clan.

One of the things about working with someone on a task or a job whether in the DB or in real life is the confidence gained from knowing that the work will just be done, that things will happen when they are supposed to happen, and with Manji as Envoy of HMR I always know they will be. Therefore I believe that Manji deserves this medal and more for all his hard work.
