Zuza has been an absolute whirlwind of activity, racking up more than enough Medal XP for a Ruby Scepter over the last year while participating in over 250 competitions, writing hundreds of thousands of words, and serving on the HM staff as well as BTL in Arcona. Congrats, Zuza!

Erin started bugging me in April looking for data analytics work. I gave her access to my Google Drive full of exported data from the site’s Unit Statistics Report and explained that I had tried in the past to develop quarterly unit health reports for CONs, but that the time investment was just way too much for me to keep up with it. I never expected to hear anything more about it. But within two days, Erin got back to me with the “Brotherhood Analytics Dashboard,” a Google Sheet that could read whatever Unit Statistics Report you gave it, parse the data, and quickly break down everything I used to have to calculate manually from a big list of individual events. Since then, she’s repeatedly had to update the dashboard, both to implement new feature requests (e.g. making it able to read several reports simultaneously to track changes over time) and to keep up with her changes to the site tool that provides the underlying data. It must have taken hours to put the base sheet together, and then shorter time investments over several months as I hit her with at least five different change requests.
Beginning with Q2 2023, I started providing Yammer with an overview of the club’s overall health, and then providing each clan’s CON and PCON with specific metrics and some suggestions that I hope will make their jobs easier. I’ve received thanks from either the CON or PCON of every clan, and had follow-up conversations with several of them. I provided a similar report specific to gaming activity to our Fist for Q3 2023. Additionally, as of October 2023, Bubba is using the clan health reports as part of his assessment and awarding for CONs. To say that Erin "helped" with this is doing her a disservice. I tried doing this sort of thing at least twice before but gave up because the time investment was simply infeasible. Erin's tool cut the amount of time I have to spend on these things by seventy-five percent. Erin's work hasn't just saved me hours of time, it is the only reason I'm able to do this project in the first place.
As mentioned above, after starting work as M:SCL, Erin pushed multiple code changes to the DB site’s Unit Statistics Report to pull information that was difficult to find before. At Bubba’s request, the new members information now indicates whether each member has authenticated to our Discord server. To help me dig into historical data, Erin adjusted the output to include members by PIN (so that name changes don’t skew the data) and to include defunct units. Other changes were more broadly useful. The reports now include all promotions, not just knightings. They provide data on every RP session and every ACC match. She keeps making this thing better, and then on top of it she has to go back to the Dashboard every time and fix it to work with the new data she added to the Unit Statistics Report exports.
In addition to be my own personal mini-James for data, Erin's taken on other M:SCL work including a request I originally submitted to James. For many years, the primary recognition for grading SA exams has come through the Scroll of Foundation. SoFs are awarded based on a formula that weighs both how many exams were graded and how quickly the grader took care of them; it also changes for courses, like the Test of Wisdom, that don’t have the standard 24-hour turnaround time. I inherited a cumbersome spreadsheet to calculate SoF awards, and they were supposed to go out only twice a year. Especially after the launch of XP, SoFs became the primary way I compensated most of my staff and I wasn’t happy with this situation. Erin automated this system and the site now gives graders that tasty XP as soon as they’ve earned it. For me, this eliminated an annoying task that ate up an hour a couple times a year. For SA graders, it means they get timely compensation for their work, even if the HM is totally checked out or can’t cope with the calculations.
Any number of our members could have stepped up to help clear James' endless to-do list. Erinyes did. She's not a web developer or a Ruby programmer or a programmer at all, but she made the effort to learn and everyone else is benefitting from that. Hopefully, her example inspires a few others, but in any event she deserves our thanks.

Changes to the DB codebase essentially benefit the entire membership, as it improves the quality of the codebase and, even if the changes themselves might only benefit a subset of members, it clears up the backlog of issues which means we can get to other issues that themselves might impact other members faster.
Erinyes was more or less thrown into the DJB’s git repository, which contains a codebase of over 10 years old that has over the years become a bit of a nightmare to get started in. Not deterred by the complexity of the code and its outdated documentation, Erinyes dove in headfirst, started getting familiar with the code, and immediately set out to add improvements, starting with bringing the “getting started” documentation up to date with the current state of the code. After that, she eagerly started going down the list of open issues that were in the low-hanging-fruit category but hadn’t been picked up until now, which is in my opinion the best and most productive way to get to know a codebase better. Ranging from various improvements to the unit statistics and leadership reports, adding reporting tools for the Envoy Society and Casual Gaming, through various smaller fixes to the site’s faction and award event pages, to automating the Scroll of Foundation awarding for SA graders.
How difficult and time-consuming these changes are to make greatly depends on how fast someone navigates the codebase, how many solutions you try before you arrive at a final implementation, and whether you encounter any hiccups along the way or not. Given the state the documentation was in and the discussions we’ve had on the subject, getting a working development setup must’ve already taken hours, and those first improvements to the leadership reports must’ve taken a lot of trial and error as well, given the complexity of some of the queries.
Erinyes, thanks for all the work you do, congratulations on Ruby Scepter!
Ascendant James Lucius Entar, 2023-10-25 16:00:31 UTC
Erinyes was able to create a report that addresses the various data-points the brand new Envoy Corps needs to make sure that the system we created: a.) works and b.) continues to work. To do this, we needed to be able to see key metrics such as the breakdown of unique roleplaying activities a month (started/closed), the amount of rank-ups per month, the spread of ranks in each trophies, the amount of words written, who our top roleplayers are, and Clan-by-clan breakdowns.
These datasets were something I was trying to manually track, email-by-email, and by doing a ghetto lookup query in Discords search filter. We are now able to easily track unique participants in RP activities, and I can generate it to a specific time/date range, which helps when considering pauses in the system. This data also helps us make sure that members aren’t progressing too quickly, or too slowly, through the RP trophy ranks, creating a better overall user experience for members. Without data, we would be making guess work. But now, we have concrete data reporting and numbers to support the long term health and success of our supplemental roleplaying society.
Erin did this very quickly, and I wish we had this kind of data prior to trying to create the proposal for the Envoy Corps in the first place. Thank you for all of this work.
Legend Wally, 2023-10-25 16:02:11 UTC
Erin proactively provided multiple customized data pulls for Casual Gaming Queue and supported platform data. After the war she provided a detailed document with analytics for what games were played, a week to week breakdown, and unit breakdowns providing raw numbers, percentages and useful graphs.
Leaders having not only the right data, but data in a useful format is critical to the function of any organization. Erinyes’ ongoing support for the Fist staff through customized gaming data helps us identify trends and future platforms for adoption. Furthermore, her detailed breakdown of the GJW gaming data helps me craft better vendetta activities for our members. On behalf of the gaming community thank you for your support.
Master Turel Sorenn, 2023-10-25 16:08:04 UTC
Erin was engaged, discussed solutions based upon my requests as a Consul, and was able to accommodate both data and site improvements.
This information enabled me to have fact based conversations with my Summit based upon trends in the clan's performance. This led to changes in competition structure and types based upon the activities the clan members were engaging in. This also enabled me to share the metrics with the Clan (see Kamjin's Annual Reports) and saved me a ton of time pulling data to do quarterly reviews.
Erin, thanks for stepping up and being so easy to work with!
Master Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz, 2023-10-25 16:17:16 UTC
When Koda stepped down prior to the Great Jedi War for personal reasons, a large void was left open for us. It could potentially have been an extremely rough time, especially for me as a fresh Consul having been thrust into the station with the shortest of notices, and going into my first war at the helm. But, in full support of my retired Pecan, I was ready to face it head-on with as much confidence and gusto as I could manage.
Without skipping a beat, Erin offered to take the position if even temporarily to keep us at the pinnacle of our game and help me learn the ins-and-outs of GJW-time leadership. Her contributions to how it had been run in past years when she was Consul, showing me when to push the members and when to lax back some, the specific areas that the summit should focus on while also having fun and contributing themselves, all of it was absolutely invaluable and directly contributed in what we managed to accomplish as a team. And for that, I am forever grateful.
I honestly do not feel we would have been nearly as successful as we were in this war had she not been there to directly mentor and help me along my path of growth, even working together with me in contributions even when it pushed her own limits. Since joining up as my Pecan, she has made significant contributions outside of her mentoring and leadership. She has made substantial edits to over 25 Taldryan wiki pages, still working on a Taldryan Military wiki-edition rework, in addition to having worked directly with me on planning out our now underway armed forces expansion which is still being constructed. She also helped with the clean-up and pre-implementation of our upcoming storylines, helped drive activity through roleplay participation and gaming to get other members involved and excited, and the various other administrative roles expected of her.
Even when things get busy, she always faces it with enthusiasm and does everything she can to help ensure the success of Taldryan; because she truly cares. This is especially evident as, since her last recognition, she has participated in 150 gaming activities, with a staggering 1,794 Clusters of Earth and 662 Clusters of Fire, 55 various competitions with 15 crescents coming from them, of which 17 of those competitions were from the Great Jedi War which earned her first TWO Gold Novae of her career and an additional Silver Novae. She has also contributed almost 18,000 words in roleplaying across 5 sessions and an additional 2,200 across 3 different fiction with an additional 46 Clusters of Ice.
Lastly, Erin, I want to thank you directly. For everything you have done since I came to Taldryan those several years ago, up through now and what you continue to do. You are a true example of what it means to be someone who is invested in the future and survival of Taldryan. If you didn’t already have the Taldrya title, I would be recommending you in a heartbeat. Instead, since you do, I’m proud to support doing this for you.
Thank you Erin. From the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of Taldryan.
Sage Cassandra Oriana Taldrya, 2023-10-26 04:23:52 UTC
Erin seemed to come out of nowhere with a slew of new improvements to the site and, as everyone else has discussed, our ability easily to track various statistics over time. One other thing that hasn't been addressed is her work on updating and unifying the old About Us and Join pages. Thanks to her, we now show prospective members a single and much clearer picture of what exactly we do here. Thanks, Erin!

Hi Howie. I know you don't want this, but I am the boss of you.
You have organized 21 comps and participated in 137 since your last medal. You wrote zero, nil, zilch, nada words of fiction, but somehow you passed five SA courses. That seems borderline Krathy.
Mostly what you've done is be a real pain in the ass, but they tell me that's what we pay you for. I didn't realize we paid you at all and it seems like a bad idea if I'm being totally honest. Anyway, you and your staff review every competition, medal, and promotion, and you're remarkably quick and consistent in all of those things. Plus you sometimes have good ideas buried in all of the yelling. My condolences.

In the seven months since his last medal, Qyreia has continued to lead Arcona through a wave of activity. The Clan has seen participation rates consistently in excess of 66% this year, including 70% in the second quarter and a very impressive GJW showing of 65%, 78%, and 54% participation in Phase 1, Phase 2, and the Event Long phase respectively. Arcona is by far the most active clan in RP activates, with more than half of the clan routinely running or participating in RPs. On top of all of this, Arcona earned yet another First Clan title with a strong finish in GJW XVI--particularly in the Event Long phase, where its high participation eclipsed every other clan. Personally, Qyreia has organized 11 comps, and participated in 31. He picked up 85 CFs, 83 CIs, 17 CEs, and 12 CGs, and came in fourth place overall in the GJW earning four novae.
Congratulations!

As her Proconsul, it's my solemn honor to speak for the Qrees (get it? GET IT Q?) and attest to the breadth of care and organization our Red Qek Consul takes with his Clan. Behind the scenes, she maintains our tightly packed planning calendar shared amidst the Summit to schedule events at every level from Battleteam to Clan and any member ones in between, navigating scheduled times for larger outside events like the Probowl and the Great Jedi War and making certain every summiter is aware of that schedule. She handles the grind of project management as she puts out calls for wiki work and instructs on the process for writing and submitting proposed changes as well as writing proposals in general for the DB space, all while juggling rigorous hiring processes for the Summit and follow up interviews with applicants. This goes hand in hand with being the Clan's liasion to the Dark Council, as she communicates updates from the DC towards the summit daily as they occur and ensures the Clan stays apprised of all Brotherhood, Clan, and House news and events with his regular reports. She claims and writes untold numbers of recommendations for Awards and Promotions, reminds of timelines and follows up on event plans and RP organization, and makes certain she's up to date and aware in order to best navigate on the Clan's behalf with newly introduced systems or changes. The nitty gritty efficiency here might not sound glamorous, but Q's methodology and diligence have kept the Clan on task and afloat through her reign, including the last seven months, and she wisely delegates to and chooses her team to entrust with daily functioning in more nebulous areas of being phone addicts with a lot of free time energetic chat communication and community engagement. She has plotted, organized, and executed several Clan events and competitions and written truly wonderful and cognizant fiction for them while plotting to connect our Clan to the macro plot, whether or not anyone reads. Q is quiet, at a glance, but only at a glance; engage them directly and you'll be engaged right back, be that conversation, fiction sharing, gaming with fellow Brethren, etc, and take a peek behind the curtain and you'll see a regularly reigned in (sorry not sorry) summit chat steered to productivity.
I know many days your very voluntary job doesn't seem very fun, Q. Especially on the days when it seems like we're taking nothing but flak from all sides, like we're not heard, or like there's no good decisions. But you still stick with it, pull your hair out, come back, and do the work. And it's not glamorous, no. But it's critical, and you have been our backbone this whole time. I just want to say thank you for that. Thank you for being here to do the often thankless administrative trudge that allows our family and our home to continue to flourish. Thank you for your iron will and unflinching morality. And thank you for being my friend.
Arcona is lucky to have you, Shadow Lord.
Proconsul and her Knight

Turel has been very busy this year, as all good Fists are. He has to deal with cluster processing, ensure a steady stream of gaming comps with sufficient variety, catch and fix loopholes in our rules as quickly as possible (RIP tic tac toe), and keep a finger to the pulse of the community and the gaming world at large to make sure we're supporting the games people want to play. Since his last medal, he has run 34 comps, including the GJW Pazaak tournament, participated in 59, and earned over 600 gaming clusters. He makes himself available to members for questions, concerns, and just to hang out and play games, while also contributing significantly to DC discussions that often have no direct bearing on gaming activities. Most recently, he also submitted (and I approved) an impressive revamp of the GMRG, which will launch soon! Congrats, Turel.

Hey, Tiger-man. How's it going? Surviving as Fist? That's good...because you're killing it.
Since his last medal, Turel (or Rajhin as he claims to be called these days) took to the ground running at the planning for this most recent Great Jedi War. He wanted to offer everyone a "little of something" while also making it possible for those crazies that lived and breathed competition to get a true clash going. Furthermore, he took on the gargantuan task of running a bracket tournament. For those who have done so, you will instantly know the effort and oversight required to do that at all, let alone timely during one of our club's biggest events.
Turel is a risk-taker, willing to try new things even if that might blow up in his face spectacularly. In those cases, he learns from it. Well, in all cases. He strives actively to speak for the members, giving me flashbacks to the dusty soap box in the corner. He also participates himself, being a constant presence and even playing with the member base.
I love seeing you succeed, Turel. More than that, I greatly enjoy getting to add my own words to the recognition of that success.
Congratulations.

Arch does things he doesn't have to do as HM. He builds spreadsheets no asked for just so he can whip them out in a DC debate, but he also takes it upon himself to prepare quarterly stats reports for the club as a whole and for each of the seven clans. Much of that work is now automated, but he doesn't just spit the sheets out and leave CONs to decipher them, he also provides succinct analysis and recommendations. The CONs find them useful; I find them useful. And it isn't in his job description.
What is in his job description is working to improve the SA, to make it more useful to new and old members alike and to keep it updated. That alone is a ton of work and not particularly glamorous, and he's put in the effort with his staff to get it done. He rewrote most of the Essentials courses, helped get the new Recognizing Members course out to address XP's changes to medals and promotions, and has several other major projects in the works. At the same time he has streamlined the unwieldy SA staff and put together two of the best GJW comps ever, hands down.
Like most of the current DC, Arch is also a regular (and vocal) contributor to discussions. He's wrong a lot but he keeps showing up for more. Congrats, Arch!

Well, well, well...who let the bird in?
This guy is probably my favourite member to get yelled at by, Howie aside, and that's saying something all on its own. Do I even need a rec beyond that? Hm, I suppose so.
Arch serves many functions, some of which include but may not be limited to: sounding board, he who calls out BS, idea's guy, and meme-ster. What I've always appreciated about Arch is that he'll never be the yes man in the room. He'll, instead, be the first to cry foul and tell you exactly how it goes. Then that's followed by a lot of hard data that even I wouldn't gather just to prove a point. Well played.
But that's just what goes on behind the scenes. What ends up before the members is a complete focus on the experience. With the Shadow Academy, that shows itself as a long-term redesign with a focus on ease of completion. But also being informative. Everyone should be able to go through the basic courses and be able to utilize the base functions of our club, or at least that's the goal. One Arch is continually hitting. Then came a fresh approach to what had become a sort of automated approach to GJW trivia competitions. It offered a mix between competitive and easy participation. I, for one, loved it. But I also embrace chaos, so what do I know?
I'm so very glad to talk you up once again in a recommendation, and I offer my sincere congratulations.

Qormus Aquila has been one of the most invaluable members of Clan Plagueis in the time since his last medal recognition. His two Proconsul stints have come at times where it has been absolutely critical that the Ascendant Clan have dedicated leadership in the executive officer position, and his individual activity has also been of the utmost quality that has reflected exceedingly well upon himself and his clan. His service to the Brotherhood as a whole has been nothing short of exemplary, as our newly appointed Grand Master will attest below.
In the realm of activity, Qormus has always brought more than an "A game" to the table. Since his last medal, he has submitted to 207 competitions and earned 46 crescents: 4 Diamond, 8 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 7 Sapphire, 8 Emerald, 7 Topaz, and 5 Quartz. Qormus earns a crescent awarding placement in 22% of the competitions he enters. Additionally, he has earned 13 Clusters of Ice, 1 Cluster of Earth, 70 Clusters of Graphite, and 26 Seals of Ascension. Add to that 13 SA courses, 3 degrees, and 3 Seals of Foundation.
More important than his individual counting stats has been what he has done as Proconsul of Clan Plagueis. All too often the leadership tasks that our Clan and House summits get a bit "lost in the shuffle" because they do not show up on an assessment tracker, or they are hard to quantify. Qormus is one of the people who shine in those areas, the person who has made the transition from consumer to producer. He is there doing the hard, oftentimes thankless work that ensures our members are engaged and having a good time. Nowhere is this better proven than in how well our Clan has performed during the last two Pro Bowls. For these events, Consuls are nearly AWOL from the day to day operations of their Clans as they step into the same shoes as a Dark Councilor running a Vendetta. This leads our Proconsuls to step up to pick up the slack, something that Qormus has done exceedingly well when called upon. Pro Bowl VI saw Clan Plagueis generate 259 total entries from 21 unique participants, which was more than what we saw during the then-recently completed Great Jedi War. This was more than any other participating unit, and it was Qormus's leadership during the event, both directly engaging with members and managing our summit team to do the same themselves, that was greatly responsible for it. This year, after returning to the PCON chair after having to step away due to real life commitments, Qormus might have done even better. Even though we were a couple of members smaller than in 2022, Qormus's work saw Plagueis grow our total Pro Bowl submissions to 266 total entries from 20 unique participants. He did excellent work during the rest of his tenure for sure, but these periods where he was having to manage the Clan almost on his own show specifically what he has been responsible for as a leader divorced from any superior guiding his hand.
Each and every clan would be absolutely thrilled to have Qormus as a part of their leadership team, and I am thankful for all that has helped me accomplish for the members of Clan Plagueis. The awarding of a Ruby Scepter is but a small token of the gratitude that his Clan and his clanmates have for everything he does.

Since his last medal, Qormus spent 5 months as my M:DGM. During that time, besides acting as a sounding board for ideas, he undertook two major projects. First, he helped to lead the revision of the Consul's Handbook, which was a major undertaking that required dissecting an extremely outdated handbook, deciding which parts could be salvaged, and then working with the rest of his small team to identify important new information and somehow put it all together in an intelligible package. I think it turned out very nicely. Second, he spent hours digesting the last several years of club-wide and clan-specific statistics and analyzing trends. The end product was 14 pages of analysis and recommendations, which was shared with the clans for their review.
Lord Dacien Victae, 2023-10-21 13:19:46 UTC
I'm going to be 'that guy' that leaves the numbers to others on this one. What I want to speak to is Qormus' character. Qormus came under my realm of awareness in a time of uncertainty for me. I was hiring two new Hands after going an extended period bouncing between known entities. This time, I was taking a true risk not really knowing what I was going to get.
Well, what I got was a dedicated and passionate member of the Brotherhood, who can't be kept down no matter what life throws at him. In our discussions, Qormus was respectful and contemplative. When it came to potential charges, he was able to argue from the difficult position of "the defense" even if he himself may not agree with what went down. But he laid out his arguments and did it well. That was, in fact, what I hired him for...and he gave that to me in spades.
In Qormus, you have dependability, intelligence, and passion for the club. I could go on, but platitudes only go so far in recommendations. I'm just happy to be able to append my own to this request.
Congratulations, Qormus. You deserve it.
Darth Renatus, 2023-10-22 22:31:26 UTC
You'd think with less than a week in the Chamber I'd have little to say but, with actual activities that need to be addressed, I quickly saw Qormus in action. Never one to presume an outcome he's been a steward of engagement during my transition and helping me frame what's going on. I echo Atra's comments above that he's an insightful and reliable Hand and I'm glad to be working with him.

Korvis has maintained Vizsla at a steady level of participation throughout his time as Consul. For the last 10 months, Viz has enjoyed a strong roughly 60% participation rate and had one of the most consistent participation rates in GJW XVI across all three Phases. Korvis has organized 54 comps and participated in 149, winning dozens of crescents and over 500 CEs. He also participated in 12 RPs and ran 3 as DM.

Korvis is and will without a doubt continue to be an active member of the Regent Staff. There's lots of things I could say about him, but one thing is abundantly clear throughout anything I can come up with: he gets the job done. He listens to criticisms, contributes his full Regenty attention to discussions and isn't afraid to offer differing opinion, and all around is just a great person to have on the team - always reliable, always willing to put his best foot forward to get the task at hand finished.
In the time since his last reward he's continued to serve and contributed in several areas, including the ever-looming Masterwork Possessions/crafting system, probably our biggest yet, and like other members of my staff has been instrumental in perfecting the trophy/special crafting material cost amounts and thresholds - while contributing to the meat of the project, craftable items and their associated crafting materials. He was the first to start adding Ahsoka items to a sheet, showing his willingness to jump ahead of the game and go the extra mile to get as much mainstream Star Wars media content in the system to further my main mantra as Regent, "Give the members the opportunity to buy the stuff they want, and play the characters they want". For our 6th Booster Release this spring before we truly zeroed in on the crafting system, he added/completed several items himself, completed our pre-implementation quality control check on each item, and then participated further in the process by adding 17 of those to the system, his first real stab at it! Korvis is also one of my main dudes that handle the aspect queue, handling most of the custom aspects that come into our office. Though those have dwindled since the last of the item types switched over to primarily upgrade-based aspects, he's continued taking point on them and keeping them below our standard max turn-around time.
Congratulations, Korvis!

Teebu stepped up to Tal CON under extremely difficult circumstances, but has made the most of it. In the first quarter of 2023, Tal had an impressive 72% comp participation rate. During GJW XVI, Tal clocked a solid 47% and 69% for Phases 1 and 2 and managed to secure a strong third place finish largely on the efforts of Teebu himself--Second Hero of the War. He has organized 133 comps, including Pro Bowl competitions and Tal's Mock Great Jedi War, and participated in an impressive 123. He earned 9 novae, dozens of crescents, and approximately 2,000 clusters, mainly CFs and CEs but also 116 CIs. Impressively, much of his fiction work was as an RP DM: 38,000 words of cat wrangling over an impressive 8 RP sessions.

DarkHawk is leading CNS through a period of transition, with some of the clan's old, reliable sources of leadership and experience taking a step back. Despite those challenges, CNS has managed to maintain consistent activity levels over the past year, including very impressive participation rates in Phases 1 and 2 of GJW XVI. DH has run 47 comps, including contributions to the Pro Bowl, and personally participated in 115 comps including 24 GJW comps, and he's earned a large number of crescents (almost all of them (49!) Sapphire Crescents, which is unusually consistent) and earned hundreds of clusters, particularly CFs.
