Event History

What can be said about Adept Sanguinius Entar that I am almost positive would not be a repeat characterization of this man. First off, it is always an honor to bestow upon ones Master with an any type of accolade. Since his last recognition the Adept has been steadily adding to his repertoire of accomplishments.

As Aedile of House Marka Ragnos, Sanguinius co/org’d the HMR mini event It Came from Kar Alabrek. He organized four competitions and co/org’d three competitions into a two part mini event protecting HMR assets. An overall successful House event which drew in thirty seven total entries and nine unique participants to the event. To bolster additional gaming activity, the Elder and his Quaestor lead impromptu gaming sessions each week for all members to partake. He is truly adept (pun intended) within the Heroes of the Storm arena and is well sought after as a partner.

His leadership was called on for a second year in a row as a Captain for the Club wide Pro Bowl VI - Alliances event. He helped lead the Frog-Dogs to an excitingly narrow showdown between the two teams. Strengthening relations between six participating Clans and their members. His contributions included a sixth place finish and two fifth place finishes for the event.

When the Adept is not busy with leading us to victories, he stays pretty active within the Club. Over the last few months he has participated in forty-four competitions and thirty-one gaming activities. He has racked up a total of thirteen Crescents, two hundred fifty three Clusters of Fire, three hundred twenty four Clusters of Earth, six Clusters of Graphite, seventeen Scrolls of Foundation and finally eleven seals of Ascension.

Sang is always a voice that draws the attention and the respect of those around him. The dude is more than friendly and willing with our members. He wants to see the best from and by his fellow members. His attitude by and large is just the sort of thing that every member could want from a leader. He is a consonant soundboard and valued resource in mentoring myself as a new Consul. It does not stop there, because of his experience and the respect he garners, his council and mentorship is equally intertwined amongst all of Clan Summit.

From the halls of the Shadow Academy, Adept Sanguinius Entar is currently one of the longest tenured Professors assigned to that institution. Not only is he the longest tenured he has the record of having the most courses graded. Recently adding an additional forty six more courses graded to his grand total. Yet another facet of his leadership and reach within the Club, Adept Sanguinius encompasses qualities of a leader at all levels within the Club.

With everything this man has done over the past few months I can wholeheartedly say that is more than deserving of this prestigious award. Adept Sanguinius Entar it is with great pleasure to see you recognized and cannot thank you enough for your mentorship!

Thran (or the Thranalorian as he's annoyingly taken to calling himself sometimes) continues to be a fierce storm to be reckoned with on the Regent Staff, surpassing all expectations on the daily. He's spent the last two months working extremely diligently, taking those 32 proposed capital ship upgrades he started with during my last recommendation to 100+ separate upgrades, helping to fulfill my vision for this project. Just like Planetary Assets, which was a driving factor in my recommendation for his Elder promotion, Thran had to come up with several different aspects for this system. Not only did he completely develop, balance, and do most of the quality control on those 100+ items, he came up with a suitable slotting scheme for each different "size" of upgrade as well as the slot sizes for each category of capital ship, putting in an exemplary amount of theory into making sure it fits both realism and possessions. He took point on pricing for this project as well, creating the pricing scheme and working with Korvis and myself to find the incredibly difficult sweet spot on where we wanted them to be. In addition to all that, Thran wrote most of the Capital Ship Upgrades Primer doc submitted to Evant and Bubba that explains our reasoning and methodological approach to this project.

And as if that wasn't enough, he did primary item photos reviews on the CIS Item Review fellow staff member Teebu completed to cut content he knew I would not accept (he was right), and is a major contributor in our next booster release, completing over 10 additional item prototypes. It's not out of this world for me to say here and now that when I finally step down (not anytime soon, don't get any ideas Thran) he is the clear and obvious choice for my replacement. I can't think of any other member in recent times that has earned a Sapphire Blade just two months after earning a Ruby Scepter, but a Grand Cross just isn't enough for the sheer amount of work this guy puts in. I'm very lucky to have him as my Praetor.

You know there are folks that just stand out in your life that make an impression and inspire those around him to strive to be better. Adept Bentre Sadow is one of those folks, without question. His reach is felt all across the Club. From Consul to DB Wiki as Tribune, from Shadow Academy Professor to Magistrate to the FIST, Bentre has served with distinction, keeping up a high level of personal activity while leading by example.

A herculean activity standard is nothing new to the Adept. Bentre is constantly a man on a mission. He has participated in fifty six comps and a whopping one hundred and ten gaming competitions! Earning himself seven hundred and seventy two Clusters of Fire, in addition to amassing nine hundred and twenty two Clusters of Earth. Let us not forget the thirteen Scrolls of Foundation he has garnered, along with nine other Crescents to add to his trophy case.

As Praetor to the FIST, Bentre has organized twenty two comps for the Club to compete against one another in. He is always ready for a gaming challenge and is resolute about making himself available for gaming is unquestionable. Whether he is aware of it or not, his mere presence is constantly building Club Esprit de Corps. All the while he found time to captain team Rotworms helping to lead his team to a second consecutive victory in the Brotherhood Pro Bowl VI - Alliances event.

Regarding Wiki Tribune, his diligence in keeping the wiki up to date with CS and possessions related changes from the Voice and Regent offices has to be a daunting task. However Bentre excels at it, maintaining the navigation data updates and the continual storytelling revisions from around the Club. As Wiki Tribune he has done two hundred and thirty five edits to date. Bentre’s staunch support he provides to one of the Club’s vital tools is a combination of authentic dedication and countless hours of upkeep..

Let us not forget that he dabbles a little bit over in the Shadow Academy. As a SA professor the Adept has graded twenty exams, enriching our members careers. His extensive knowledge within the Department of Leadership, Law, and Communication is a vital resource in shaping our members and furthering their path.

For all his contributions to the Brotherhood, his stellar leadership and his desire to serve, it is with great honor to recommend Adept Bentre Sadow for this prestigious award. Congratulations Sir!

Zuza has been a solid member of Arcona for a surprisingly short amount of time, and in those two years has already left an indelible mark on many in the Clan. Going over the raw stats since her promotion in April, she has been nothing but a powerhouse. Sixty-one competitions participated, placing in twenty-eight, not even counting the fourteen Seals of Ascension from GJW XV that also netted her a Silver Nova. Add to that fifteen Clusters of Fire, nineteen Clusters of Earth, fifteen Clusters of Graphite, and thirteen Clusters of Ice from an approximate 5,100 words of fiction shows that she is as accomplished as she is well-rounded in the activity-in-numbers department.

Less easy to capture in numbers is her impact on the Clan as a whole. Zuza started her tenure as Rollmaster in January, taking over from Kordath’s lengthy and successful legacy, and she’s been running with it ever since. Much of Arcona’s current retention rates are a testament to her efforts of engaging with the new members directly and regularly in ways that I could not manage even in the best of circumstances. In a cooperative effort with the Summit, she is even currently laying the groundwork for an independent Battleteam within the Clan to continue both the legacy and duties of the Rollmaster, nurturing and growing new members into more long-term personalities in the Club.

In a more direct fashion, she has been a second sanity check among the Clan Summit. She comes with energy and ideas tempered with logic and practicality. Her labors are quiet but many. She is someone that I look forward to hiring into greater positions of responsibility when she finally passes the reins on Rollmaster — whether in its official title or as the BTL of the same intent.

Zuza, thank you for all that you do.

Tali is one of our longest sitting members in Arcona’s Summit, holding the Quaestor position of House Qel-Droma since 2019, and he’s never flagged in his capacity as a competing member of the Brotherhood. Since his recognition in January, he’s maintained regular activity through organizing seven competitions, co-organizing one, and competing in seventy-four. Of these he placed in thirteen, including two Silver Novae and two Bronze Novae from his twenty-nine participations in GJW XV, evidenced by the name number of Seals of Ascension! This comes with it three Clusters of Fire and twenty of Earth from gaming, as well as twenty-seven Clusters of Graphite from his many submissions to the DB art community. The truly staggering activity comes from his fiction work, producing one hundred three Clusters of Ice across over thirty eight thousand words of fiction. And in between all that, he still managed to take a trip over to the Shadow Academy and knock out three of its courses.

In leadership, Tali has likewise continued his powerhouse work. In addition to running a House-level event over the fall and keeping up the motivation during GJW XV, he found time to collaborate with another Arconan and completely revamp the Arconan Expeditionary Force (AEF) in a detailed proposal that included broad organization and detailed cost analysis. The current state of the AEF is the product of that refined proposal, and forms the foundation for our future Possessions plans.

What’s more, Tali is simply a good leader within Arcona and the Brotherhood. His patience and let’s-make-it-happen attitude have driven me as Consul to work harder and on things that I might have otherwise overlooked. So to Tali: I hope this serves as some small thanks for all of your hard work.

Since my take-over of the Herald Office, Aylin has completed six (6) unique custom robe skins with one additional taken from a submitted character artwork. She also single-handedly completed Clan Taldryan's recent Vendetta dossier skin from the very start of initial sketching to the completed eight (8) skin images as they are now present on the Dark Jedi Brotherhood robe selector.

Aylin also continues to maintain a steady presence in the Brotherhood's art-chat where she inherits an inspiring influence, interacting with the membership and posting countless pictures of her personal craftsmanship, both digital and physical.

Well done Aylin, keep up that good work!

While Juda has written down the Primary recommendation I just wanted to say that Hector's work on getting Clan Vizsla off the ground in the Roleplay Community can't be undersold. He developed a set of guidelines for the clan to follow on setting them up as well as taught me how to even RP so that I could lead the sessions as Consul which let others play and I run the administration side of them. Anyone knows that teaching me new tricks isn't the easiest thing on earth and I truly appreciate Hector's work, patience, and level-headedness that he brings not just to help get the RPs in Vizsla off the ground but that he Brings to the Clan Summit every day.

Ricmore is also one of my best Worldbuilders. Creating the proposals for the Frost Wolf Garrison on Zoldos as well as the Kast War Forge on Korus. https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/items/83764-outpost His creativity and execution of ideas are astounding. The Clan literally doesn't have the money to implement all his ideas. Which in a way sucks but it if fantastic to have people like Ricmore that consistently come up with items that make our clan better.

From our first conversation during his application, I knew exactly the kind of Proconsul I would be getting in Juda. Hard-working, energetic, and a beast in activity. Three and half months later he has proven to be all of that and more.

Since his last recognition in April Juda has competed in 77 competitions and totaled more than 2000 words in RP events. He has played in 27 gaming activities that have totaled 334 Clusters of Fire and 10 Clusters of Earth. He has earned 1 Bronze nova 9 Crescents, 22 Clusters of Ice, 33 Clusters of Graphite, and 14 Seals of ascension.

Perhaps most impressive is Juda’s ability to draw in members from outside the club. He has recruited 2 separate members that have earned him Scrolls of Indoctrination. He is always seeking out opportunities to recruit even drawing in a member from Star Wars Galaxies probably the first from there in a long, long time.

Juda truly leads by example. He cares about the members of the club and works tirelessly to make not just Vizsla a better place but the entire Club. Congrats Juda and here is to many more!

You might think that losing a Quaestor who is the sole leader of one of your houses a mere six days before the start of the largest event your clan runs every year would be a recipe for disaster. In most cases, you would be right. But most cases don't include having TuQ'uan, former Proconsul, on your bench as a Battle Team Leader to serve as your "in case of emergency, break glass" Quaestor. But seeing TuQ as a mere emergency Quaestor would be to do him a disservice, as the work he has done both in the realm of activity and leadership has been exceptional since the conclusion of the Great Jedi War this summer.

As a member TuQ was the "lead from the front" sort, especially in the recent Pro Bowl. Of course he submitted to all 32 competitions available during the event. It's the Pro Bowl, it's what TuQ does. More than that, however, he scored 240 points with those entries and earned 4 first and second competition placements along with 5 other crescent earning placements, and finished 3rd overall (besting his fourth place finish last year) while earning more points than any other Plagueis member. The totality of his activity since his last recognition amounts to 74 competition entries that netted him 4 Diamond, 5 Ruby, 12 Amethyst, 9 Sapphire, 6 Emerald, 2 Topaz, and 2 Quartz crescents which equals placement crescents earned with a staggering 54% of his competition entries! He also submitted 6 fiction activities totaling 3,457 words to earn 8 Clusters of Ice. Outside of that, as far as Crescents he earned 4 Clusters of Earth, 24 Clusters of Fire, and 23 Clusters of Graphite for gaming and graphics. He even organized the DJB-Ball Fantasy Basketball League competition, even not knowing a ton about basketball. Anything to get activities out there!

But, as much as he has been a constant contributor in the realm of activity, it is his work in leadership that stands him apart. It was not hyperbole that TuQ was pegged to step in with the chaotic departure of his predecessor six days before the Pro Bowl began. He was tasked with reaching out and getting to know his new charges in House Tyranus, having been in House Ventress previously, while also building excitement for the upcoming event at the same time. Others might have been overwhelmed by the task on their plate, but not TuQ. Building on the excellent community building he had been doing with a limited number of members leading a battle team, TuQ jumped in and really built his members into a force to be reckoned with during the Pro Bowl through the sort of one on one member engagement that Plaguies has made its hallmark for years. He was messaging members directly several times per week to keep them energized, reported back participation numbers to his upper summit as the event progressed, and sent out 8 separate email blasts to the membership as a whole during the run of the Pro Bowl. His efforts connecting with his members really paid off given the levels of activity his unit was able to bring to the table. House Tyranus saw a staggering 10 of their 13 members submit to competitions over the course of the event, half of the participants in the event from Clan Plagueis. Those ten members were responsible for 128 total entries during the Pro Bowl, out entering some of the other participating Clans involved. Plagueis saw a truly amazing 70% of its members submit to at least one event during the Pro Bowl, a level of activity that would never have been possible without TuQ stepping in to what was just about the worst scenario that any Quaestor could be asked to shoulder: members he hadn't lead in an event that was mere days away. It is a staggering achievement by any measure, and he has the thanks of a grateful clan and summit.

Writing recommendations praising TuQ'uan and his work for Plagueis might seem like old hat (see what I did there?), but it is something that never goes out of fashion for me. Working with TuQ'uan in my prior tenure as Consul was a truly enjoyable experience, and I can say without a doubt that it is even better the second time around. Thank you, TuQ'uan, for everything that you do for the Ascendant Clan.

Reiden Karr is a beastmode Magistrate. Of all the staff members I’ve worked with over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone come close to his absolute dedication to getting his job done. I’m talking like within a minute of things hitting our queue, he has it handled. This has been a massive boon to my own workload, as Reiden already has razor-sharp analysis of any pending sheets queued up for discussion before I even have the site open to look for myself.

Since joining the staff Reiden has been responsible for approving 285 sheets manually (roughly 38% of all manual sheets approved in this time frame). He has been responsible for a further 76 remands, excellently prepared with clear instructions and a professional tone. To say this is an impressive amount of sheet management would be an understatement. Even when not directly taking the primary position on processing a sheet, he provides much-needed rational insight to all the other sheets we discuss as a team.

His aid isn’t limited to just the queues either. A vast majority of the time Reiden is actively answering fiction and sheet-related questions both within our #fiction-chat and the various clan chats. He is so responsive to these and so quick to pick up on them happening that I only catch them well after the fact an answer has already been given.

Project wise Reiden has a brilliant eye for errors and was a massive help in finalizing the feats project, and in catching inconsistencies and mistakes.

Congrats Reiden, and thank you so much for your continued efforts.
