As written by DJK Freshjive: Shaithis' involvement and participation in the GJW was phenomenal. He submitted to nearly every event and placed quite high in a few of them. In addition, no other member of Dinaari is as active, participating in comps, winning medals and chatting on IRC, the house/clan egroups and on the messageboards. His activity has always been at a high level and I feel this award is warranted because of that.

As written by DJK Freshjive:

Swiper served as Dinaari QUA for over a year. In that time period he led the house to strong showings in the Feel the Force comp, securing the title of First House of the Obelisk, and in strong finishes in the three way clan feud with Tarentum and CSP and in the GJW. He also organized and ran the Brigade Wars, an inter-house competition and several other small house feuds. For his longstanding service and dedicated leadership, I reccomend OBM Swiper for a Sapphire Blade!

This medal encompasses two aspects of Shadow's work: his GJW level creation, and his time as CoG. Shadow was never properly rewarded for his time as CoG, but I'd like to point out some things about it. I've been in and out of the GMRG a few times, each time expecting great things out of new leaders and getting basically nothing. Well Shadow was different. He actually made the GMRG fun again. I honestly enjoyed being a part of it (first time I did), and I know many others did as well. His time as CoG definitely should not go unrewarded.

Secondly, his GJW level creation was a neccessity for the success of Phase 1 of the Obelisk portion of the GJW. He created three levels in a very small amount of time, and with the small amount of time the editors had been around did a good job in my opinion. Some might say he abandoned everyone by quitting CoG and not doing the last level he said he would do. However, you must remember what he did do, and that his reasons were not outrageous either. Shadow did a job that no one else wanted, and not many others could do. I hope this reward goes through because he is one member truly deserving of this.

Aza has been an excellent leader for what is coming up to 18 months now. He has had his critics and has had his issues, but like a true warrior of his order he has come through and shown exactly what is required as a Quaestor of CSK. In the GJW his house achieved 100% in Phase 2 and an exceptional level of success throughout the period. He has never a missed report in many months... if at all come to think about it! Recently he has initiated some seriously huge house developments, which could be the start of great things for the Clan as a whole. (his latest report details this). For Services above and beyond the call of his position, I wish to award the Sapphire Blade!

I will first add the comments from the two people that came to me for this REC: Then i will add my own comments.

Hi Tiger,

Me and Betja would like to reccommend Sharad for a medal. We think he's been wonderfully active during this GJW and really motivated people to participate. Before the GJW he also did a lot of work that hasn't yet been rewarded. He's almost always on irc, and puts in a lot of time with the individual houses, well, certainly with Ekky :P

Betja's comments are below.

We'd like to reccommend a sapphire blade, or failing that a GC. Yeah i think we shoul and quickly

too from what i've heard or it could get hard and i think note should be paid to the fact hes always there and ready to help us, as well as hes a true Taldryanite; he actually cares.

bet

I agree with Alanna Sharad deserves an excellent medal.

For Sharad's dedication to Clan Taldryan that goes far above and beyond the call of duty i would like to REC for him an SB. The following supporting reasons are stated above as well as below this.

Sharad from the begining of his appointment of PCON has been very dedicated to his duties. He designed a new website for Tally. He is on IRC on a regular basis. Helps out clan members all the time. Makes sure new people are getting settled in ok. During GJW Sharad was the one major driving force behind Tally. Being more active during it than i could of been. He joined in as much as possible where and when possible to help better the clans position and to show what it means to be active. For all the reasons stated above i feel Sharad Hett deserves this medal for more than anyone in the clan.

Thank you.

Pyro has been an upstanding character since I met him. His dedication to everything he does is tremendous, and the products of his efforts are remarkable. The activity, loyalty, and hours put down by him towards each objective is beyond compare. For the Shadow Academy, Pyralis has been instrumental in every project to date. He has assisted me in laying the groundwork for a new and better Academy, and then followed through on that with countless hours of work. Corrections to courses, new materials, new Sith battles for XvT and XWA, and the neverending reams of feedback and general assistance have been unbelievable. I cannot allow these splendid works and incomprehendable effort to slide by without an equally splendid form of recognition. For being a key to the growth and development of the Shadow Academy, and a character of true quality, I hereby recommend Pyralis for a Sapphire Blade

OBL Mage

Pyralis is quite possibly the best leader I have ever had the pleasure of serving with. Ever since I joined House Galthain he has been a friend, leader, advisor, and example to follow. He has always kept communications high by sending out countless emails, keeping the Sith in the house informed about all upcoming events and simply staying in touch with all of the active house members. He is also constantly on IRC, chatting and communicating with the rest of Clan Satal Keto.

His high level of activity is also unparalleled. During my duration as Quaestor, he sent me at least 4 pilot files each week, in addition to whatever pilot files or pieces of activity were required for the competitions going on in the squadron. In addition, he always pushed each member of the house to do their absolute best and encouraged them to at least participate in whatever event was going on. This relentless determination of his to get every member of the house to participate and work together as a team was probably what got the extremely high participation rate in the GJW and it will continue to serve him well.

While serving as Aedile of House Galthain, Pyralis never failed to impress me. In addition to the things that I have already mentioned, I think that the reason he and I worked so well together was at least partially due to his great leadership skills and people skills. He leads by example and holds himself to a high level of standards that you will probably not find in too many other places. He also was constantly seeking input from me and the other House members as to how he was performing and encouraged us to question his ideas and tell us if we thought he was making a mistake or needed to make a correction to something.

I could probably go on about even more of his accomplishments, but I think that you get the picture. Pyralis is one of the best leaders I've ever come across, hands down, no question about it. He deserves to be rewarded for his outstanding work. Thank you for your time, Masters. Also, if there's someone else I should send this email to, please let me know.

DJK Hawker former AED

I personally would like to Award Pyralis the SB for all the amazing work he has done so far for his house. He has made a house the leader in participation among all houses of the DB, he has been an exceptional aid to his Consul, consulting on a wide range of issues . He's motivating character is .. well... infectious among all who talk to him! :P The energy is simply astounding. Without doubt he is the best Galthain Queastor ever and more then worthy of this award!!

I have here a REC from Alanna of House Ekky- She feels that former QUA Betja Jun deserves a Medal. I also Agree totally. So i will paste her REC and then add comments of my own at the end. Thank you.

Clan leaders,

You may already have this in hand, but if not, I'd like to recommend Betja for either a Grand Cross of the Dark Side, or a Sapphire Blade (I'm not sure which is more appropriate).

Betja took over running Ektrosis after a couple of less active QUAs had sent us into a bit of an activity lull. His enthusiasm and encouragement brought us out of it and we have (I believe, although I haven't checked) won every major competition we've entered since he took over. He also helped to write and run an inter-clan feud (which we subsequently won of course :P) and host more run-ons and small competitions than I can remember. He's been an active IRC presence, has outlasted a couple of PCONs and CONs (always the mark of a good QUA!), and is only leaving now because real life pressures no longer leave him the time required to hold the post well.

It would be nice to thank him for all he's done for Ektrosis over the last year or more.

<bow>

KPN Alanna (Ektrosis of Taldryan)

I can also say that Betja before RL grabbed him from his duties as QUA was a lead by example. Meaning he set the example in what an active member having fun should be. He was always on time with his reports, spent a gross amount of time on IRC chatting with his members and many more besides. He as Alanna stated lasted thru two or more CON's and PCON's.

For his dedication and loyalty to the Clan His house and the DB at large i would like to Award him the Sapphire Blade.

Thank you.
