Event History

Tahiri is one of Plagueis' stars with her very high levels of personal activity. Such excellence demands prompt recognition.

Since her last recognition in October, Tahiri has participated in 90 competitions yielding 48 crescents (1 Diamond, 3 Ruby, 4 Amethyst, 9 Sapphire, 17 Emerald, 10 Topaz and 4 Quartz) from those entries, an astonishing return of 53%. I consider anything above 25-30% a good return, and to me demonstrates that this is a member who isn't out to merely pad their stats; that they want to succeed. But 53%, wow! Go Tahiri! She submitted 18 gaming activities and earned 69 clusters of earth, mostly due to her efforts working with the newly revived TOR guild. She is also active in the new - to the DB - realm of Role Playing with 2944 words in three submitted activities giving her 6 Clusters of Ice.

And it isn't just her own personal activity that contributes so much to Clan Plagueis and the DB as a whole. Since her last recognition, she received a Scroll of the Master for mentoring Livia Mariquita Daffel to the rank of Knight. The DB cannot survive without welcoming and mentoring new members and Tahiri made us proud in this respect. She also served as House Tyranus Quaestor for over nine months. Thank you for your service to Clan Plagueis, Tahiri!

She is an active and cheerful presence on Discord, always there to say hello, congratulate someone on achieving some milestone or answer a question someone has. It is easy to underestimate the effect of having someone like Tahiri who is friendly and welcoming in chat, but we've noticed, and it's greatly appreciated.

I am thrilled to be able to recommend this, my first ever Sacramental Award to Tahiri. A great person, and an excellent Clan member. Congratulations!

Liandry made quite the entrance on her arrival into Taldryan. Immediately, her level of activity netted her 2nd place in the Orth Prison Break event.

In total, since Liandry's last recognition, she has participated in 74 competitions, organised 16, and Co-organised a further 4. Liandry has also passed 5 SA courses and earned two degrees!

In terms of competition awards, Liandry has won the following;

Crescent with Diamond Star x 1 Crescent with Ruby Star x 5 Crescent with Amethyst Star x 5 Crescent with Sapphire Star x 5 Crescent with Emerald Star x 5 Cluster of Fire x 116 Cluster of Ice x 27 Cluster of Graphite x 21

However, it is her time in leadership which I wish to focus one next. Liandry served as Plagueis Proconsul for 9 months, during which, she helped reorganise the Ascendant Fleet with new possessions and House structure (this was back when Tyranus was Plagueis' only House). She also Co-organised the PLA-COU feud, the Myrkr Crusade, organised the Expanding Horizons event, and Co-organised the House Tyranus opening event.

It is for these reasons that I am happy to recommend Liandry for a Sapphire Blade. Congratulations, Liandry!

Revak is the latest in a remarkably successful line of COU Consuls, stepping up to replace Blade right before the most recent vendetta. He was awarded a Grand Cross for his success at that time, and since then he's impressed us all by maintaining COU's momentum with 32 organized competitions and a major push into the newly supported RP system. As for personal activity, Revak has been a beast, participating in 57 competitions and winning 14 crescents, while picking up 2 CFs, 58 CEs, 11 CIs, and 23 CGs.

I'm happy to recommend Revak's first Sapphire Blade. Congratulations!

Since his promotion to EL1 in August, Bentre has continued to be a key leader in the Brotherhood, helming CNS as its Consul while also managing the DB Wiki as Tribune. As CON, Benny helped to organize the successful Pro Bowl V and organizing 22 competitions. He was also extremely active on a personal level, participating in 55 competitions and earning 31 crescents. He also picked up 711 CEs, 195 CFs, 34 CIs, and 6 CGs.

Congratulations, Benny!

As a new member to Arcona, I heard a great deal of names, tales of the people that had made their mark on the clan years before. Many of these people, and the stories that were attached to them, seemed so much larger than life. Now, years later, I’ve had the pleasure to meet some of them; but few have made an impact comparable to that of our venerable Ood, who returned to the fold of activity and immediately began making a name for himself once more. He is a sterling representation of Arcona’s spirit and drive, and a shining example of the Old Guard in action.

There has been a not-insignificant span since his last Recognition. But, since returning to the active fold of the Clan, Ood has demonstrated an enormous competitive drive, participating in a grand total of 128 competitions. His prolific work has netted an enormous impressive count of awards. These include three Novae, one of each flavor, alongside a heavy sum of crescents, counting up to one Diamond crescent, five Ruby crescents, eight Amethyst crescents, six Sapphire crescents, eight Emerald crescents, four Topaz crescents, and four Quartz crescents. This work includes 6321 words of fiction and 1645 words of Run-On writing, 21 Clusters of Ice, 18 Clusters of Graphite, and a Cluster of Fire. Moreover, Ood’s efforts have earned him eight Scrolls of Foundation, a Legion of the Scholar, a Seal of Wrath, four Seals of Visions, and seventeen Seals of Enmity.

If all that isn’t enough, Ood is a constant presence both on Telegram and on Discord. He has participated in multiple RPs, and is always providing keen insight to new and old members alike. Included in this activity is over four years of special Magistrate service to the Headmaster.

I am no longer quite as new and shiny as I once was, but Ood’s legacy and current work for the Clan and Club remain an example that I strive to emulate. Therefore, it is my honor and privilege to recommend him for the receipt of a Sapphire Blade. Good work, and enjoy the shiny shank!

Tali is an invaluable addition to Arcona's family. He is a hardworking leader and a strong voice for his House. He ensures communication within the House chats, keeps his Summit running efficiently, and keeps his members updated with timely and efficient reports. He has worked well with his Aediles, Aru and Jazzy, and his Battleteam Leader, Wally, to ensure that HQD has a story that is engaging and keeps the members invested.

Since his last recognition, Tali has organized 3 Competitions and co-organized 2 others. He has participated in 73 competitions as well, netting himself a slew of crescents(5 Ruby, 2 Amethyst, 5 Sapphire, 3 Emerald, 1 Topaz). He has participated in 15 PVP matches, and 16 Fiction activities, writing 57,094 words. His efforts have earned him 39 Clusters of Fire, 132 Clusters of Ice, and 25 Clusters of Graphite. He has also earned a Scroll of Foundation for work in the Shadow Academy.

In the Rite of Supremacy Tali earned 4 Gold Novae, 2 Silver Novae, and 1 Bronze Nova, as well as 26 Seals of Enmity. He was also named Second Heroine of the Rite of Supremacy Escalation!

Tali has been a great Quaestor during these past 9 months. He ran an event for the House called Law and Droma, centered around the new possessions he purchased for Qel Droma. He has also taken charge of running bi-monthly audits of his House members alongside his Aediles and Wally. He pushes his members to compete, keeping HQD the top-performing House for Arcona. He has been extremely helpful in the change for the Club from Telegram to Discord, staying a constant presence and helping to redirect traffic to our Clubs new home. Without his assistance, Arcona wouldn't have eased into Discord as easily as it has.

For all of his hard work and dedication, I am extremely proud to award Tali Sroka with a Sapphire Blade. Amazing job!!!

I first truly met Junazee as a newly minted Battleteam leader, while she was leading Galeres as Quaestor, a position she held for a full ten months. In my time serving under Juna, I came to respect her immensely; for her short and sharp professionalism, her deep compassion for all things living, and her commitment to hard work, both in the club and in real life. All of these things are reflected in her activity, which should stand as more than enough to earn an overdue award.

In the time since her last recognition, Junazee has participated in a staggering 103 competitions, organizing a further 14. Within these comps, she racked up an impressive count of awards, with one Diamond crescent, two Ruby crescents, five Amethyst crescents, three Sapphire crescents, and an Emerald crescent. Moreover, her work generated more than a thousand words of fiction, earning 3 clusters of ice, and a total of 14 Seals of Visions and 11 Seals of Enmity.

But, Juna truly shines on the gaming front. Over the course of 93 PvE matches and 9 PvP matches, Junazee created a wholly terrifying number of gaming clusters, burning in with 322 clusters of Fire and 332 Clusters of Earth.

Junazee is a leader, an immensely valued member of Arcona, and a good friend. It is my distinct honor to recommend her for the receipt of a Sapphire Blade.

Since Zuji’s, currently otherwise known by her character Diy, promotion in August 2020, she’s been a strong and steady workhorse in both House and Clan. In the scope of raw numbers, she’s organized one (1) competition and participated in one hundred and five (105) competitions. Between those competitions and the newly minted roleplay function in the club, she’s accumulated 40,986 words of fiction, plus an additional 1,268 of Run On participation. This has netted her some 86 Clusters of Ice, in addition to 144 of Fire, 23 of Earth, and 24 of Graphite. As if her raw participation wasn’t enough, she’s a regular placer, with 23 Crescents to her name, plus two Novae from the last Vendetta, which also got her 13 Seals of Enmity.

Where competitions and the generic fun stuff fall away, Zuji is still a workhorse of member engagement. If her one (1) Scroll of Indoctrination and two (2) of the Master don’t say enough about her ability to maintain presence, then her Seal of Loyalty shows our appreciation for these non-metrics efforts — her second such awarding, making her a repeat offender of awesome. Speaking on a more personal level though, she is more often than not on the front lines in chats, always a friendly and professional presence that exemplifies her position as an Arconae. Her work is quality, and I am always excited to see her work when grading competitions or simply perusing entries of other participants.

Hopefully this shiny object serves as some small measure of our appreciation for Zuji and her efforts.

Commentary:

Thran has been a powerhouse individual within CSP. By the numbers he's clearly one of the top performers but his contributions have extended far beyond that.

He spearheaded our clan possession overhaul. From reviewing our existing possession, determine total value by asset, developing the new clan possession layout - researching extensively the Imperial Guidebook - and producing an easy to read analysis of recommended items to sell, purchase, and the corresponding structure to place the possession in.

Thran has championed our gaming night(s) and is always available for a match of BF2. He's equally an amazing chess player if you're seeking a casual gaming partner. I've learned quite a bit from him regarding my own chess playing.

I'm honored to see him receive this recognition and would expect to see more great things from him as he continues his time within the Regent's office.

Proconsul Comments

I want to conclude here by speaking to Thran's leadership presence and abilities in Clan Scholae Palatinae. In short, he has been one of the greatest positive impacts on Clan activity and club gaming activity since his last recognition, and most definitely since his return to full activity. This is because Thran exemplifies the idea of leading by example, and using his example as a beacon of encouragement for his fellow Clan members. When he's gaming, he's always inviting people out to play - and not just his closest friends, but everyone! When he's writing, he's constantly bringing us along for the journey. When he's working on DC project work, even if he can't share the details, he shares his sheer excitement for it. And that gets people hyped up! It gets members engaged and talking with one another. And this is Thran to a tee. He wants people to be involved, to find their niche and passion, and to recognize how much fun being a member of this club is.

Thran is a foundational pillar of our Clan and club community who reminds everyone in the Clan that we're all DJB members who love Star Wars and want to have fun. He is a member who we should all strive to mirror and match in overall activity output, service to the community, and the ability to generate comradery and bonds between fellow members. He's the best of us.

I am so honored to see Thran being recognized for all of his great work. I know there are only great things ahead for him, and I'm so excited to see where it leads him. Congratulations, Thran, and keep it up.

Recommendation:

It is my privledge to recommend this Sapphire Blade for Augur Reiden Palpatine Karr. Beyond the metrics, which I'll highlight below, he is a constant presence throughout the DJB. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't see Reiden speaking up in each of the clan chats, sharing insights, helping new members, and building a stronger community.

Within Scholae Palatinae he's a joyful individual who knows everyone, engages easily with each member, and encourages activities. His informal title as Puzzle Master is well earned with numerous 1st place finishes.

As an advisor to me he artfully balances raising counter points to validate we're making the right decision and that we're putting our membership first with each action we choose to take. I wouldn't be as balanced as a leader without his consultation.

Further, I'm surprised that Reiden has not yet received a Sacramental award given his 13 years with the club and his continued contributions and engagement.

Performance Metrics

Competitions:

• 1 Organized
  
• 1 Co-organized
