I miss Aldaric, though I know he's focusing more on real-life he's continued to be a pillar within the DJB. He has engaged with Caliburnus and helped encourage activity and he continues to maintain a fantastic turn-around time with his Shadow Academy courses being graded.

What is represented here, beyond the recent activities, is the backlog of experience he's gained from his time on the Fist's staff, to gaming, to contributing with the DJB as a whole. If he had not had an AK already he'd have received this at the onset versus during our periodic awards sweeps.

I hope he knows that we recognize him for all he's done and look forward to the time when he can contribute at the same levels again.

Since his last medal, Qyreia has organized 10 comps, participated in 33, and won 24 crescents, 69 CIs (nice), 3 CEs, and 11 CGs. He's also accrued enough XP for this AK. Congratulations on triple wielding!

Warlord Rayne Palpatine has reached the required 11533 Medal XP to earn their first Amethyst Kukri.

I legit just said I was going to stop handing out shiny stabby thingies to my clan because they all want to use them to stab me. Yet, here comes Rayne, knocking out more and more XP to get the awesome purple shiny stabby thing!

Rayne has recently joined the Scholae Palatinae summit and I couldn't be happier. She has demonstrated what always existed; a drive to improve the clan and to create opportunities for our members. I imagine she's the type of person whom in real life someone says "I might be willing to go surfing" and Rayne grabs them by the arm and says "that's awesome, I'll do it with you!"

She always appears open to game, chat, work on character development, role-play, she's a constant companion to anyone in the club. In her new role she's taken on a more formal guidance of our newer members in the clan and I can see her hand in helping to shape them to be amazing new members.

Thank you, Rayne for all you do!

Where to start with Juda? He has a hand in everything that happens in Clan Vizsla. From the day-to-day running and administration stuff to wiki work and mentoring new members. It is simply amazing the number of things he gets accomplished on a nearly daily basis.

I will start with something that has become the priority in Vizsla. Recruitment and retention, Juda has developed a system to help us retain new members that include one on one emails and chats at weekly intervals. He instituted weekly emails for competition reminders and revamped how we handled the master-apprentice program, and how we recruit new members. Has it worked? Vizsla at the end of the last Vendetta was the smallest clan in the brotherhood and it had been years since we had someone reach JM4. Vizsla is now the second largest clan and we have had 2 knightings this year as well as some promising candidates moving up the ranks now. His focus and work on this have been nothing short of amazing and this alone is extremely noteworthy to have a clan growing when the brotherhood has been in a steady decline for a while numbers-wise.

While the sheer amount of work Juda has put in on the member retention side of things probably has earned him this AK I would be remiss if I didn't mention his leadership as PCon. The day-to-day things that make a clan function are often overlooked but are essential to having a successful and fun clan. Discord has become where he lives. Constantly on the chat interacting with members. Most mornings start with Juda greeting the clan and end with him still chatting with people when I turn in for the night. These interactions with members are essential to getting people to stay engaged. We all may like the awards and promotions, I love the credits. But we have all stayed here because of the friendships that are primarily built-in chat. Nearly everything he does and the decisions he helps me make are tied back to member experience and retention.

Quite simply put, Vizsla would not be where it is today if Juda was not working so hard to make it successful. His work and continued effort for this clan are nearly unmatched. I am honored to award you this AK for the sheer amount of work you have done in making our clan what it is today. Congratulation Juda

I want to echo Shimrahs recommendation. Occultan (Mako) is a workhorse for Vizsla and his assistance in building out the planet of Korus wiki has been a considerable boon to completing it. We as always are appreciative of your efforts Occultan and want to congratulate you on your newest shiny stabby.

Koda isn't just a fantastic member of my summit, he's a fantastic member of the club. I'm lucky to have him in Taldryan. He's the type of guy that will throw himself into whatever you give him, no questions asked.

My case in point is the recent work He's done on the Taldryan Tallies, having updated the images as part of his summit work.

He's also hosted 17 competitions, many of those were from the Crusader's Comical Comps which he recently ran for Taldryan.

In total, he's participated in 29 competitions and has earned the following awards;

Crescent with Ruby Star x1

Crescent with Amethyst Star x2

Crescent with Sapphire Star x3

Crescent with Emerald Star x2

SA courses passed x9

Degrees earned x4

I'm proud to be able to recommend Koda for his first Amethyst Kukri! Congratulations, Koda!

Since their last award just shy of the turn of the year from '21 to '22, giving them a year and some change, Mune has been a busy bee. 92 competitions participated (against 108 if one counts containers), averaging about 6 per month, and organizing 1 along the way. Of these, Mune earned 23 placements evidenced by their Silver Nova and variety of collected Crescents for a solid 25% placement rate. Now, Mune is a fairly well-rounded participant in the Brotherhood: 6 Clusters of Fire, 20 of Earth, and 8 of Graphite show they are ready to tackle just about anything if the conditions are right. But where Mune really shines is fiction. In those fifteen-odd months, Mune has slammed out 48,992 words of fiction to net them a nice 106 Clusters of Ice. This comes as no surprise given their critical role in standing up the Envoy Corps RP society, which Marick will no doubt want to touch on in more detail. For posterity purposes though, over thirty two thousand of those words of fiction were in RPs alone.

Now Mune has spent the last four months as an Exarch Staffer, and since that award mentioned way up top, also worked as Praetor to the MAA for the full duration. As a former MAA staffer, I can guarantee that, while the work load waxes and wanes, they are never truly done. So from here I will let others say their piece. But to Mune: thank you for doing what you do and for putting yourself out there for Arcona. We appreciate it, and it does not go unnoticed.

Corsair Chrome is one of Vizsla's unsung heroes. He has consistently been one of the highest participants in competitions and earning credits. With that here is a whole lot more. Congrats Chrome.

Teebu continues to keep me on my toes in the best way possible. Whenever he's not busy being a position holder in three different staffs (Taldryan Summit, Regent Staff, Exarch Staff) he's helping me organise events for Taldryan.

Namely the recent Taldryan event, the Saijo Superweapon in which he helped me co-organise tbe event, as well as determine story points. He also Co-hosted the RP with me for the event.

In total since his last recognition, Teebu has participated in 8 competitions and earned the following awards;

Crescent with Ruby Star x1

Crescent with Amethyst Star x1

Crescent with Quartz Star x1

SA courses passed x 47

Degrees earned x7

ACC battles completed x1

Lastly, he has accumulated 4179 Medal XP, which already pushed him to a Grand Cross. However, with his work on both the Regent and Exarch Staff (Both Noobis and Wally will comment on that) I am happy to say he has earned his first Amethyst Kukri!

Congratulations, Teebu!

Well...That's a lot of XP!

Fist of the Brotherhood?

Elder?

Quarstor and Proconsul of Taldryan?

Creator of the Aleena Mobility Scooter?

All of that and more have contributed to the 21272 Medal XP Rai-Ho has accumulated, getting him an Amethyst Kukri! Congratulations!
