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.

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.

Gord has been once again an exceptional PCON. Not only covering for his Consul in his absence, but designing and administrating a Clan fued. Always there to help members, solving summit problems and house matters, there's nothing this guy couldn't handle! For his efforts beyond the call of duty, as well as his continuing excellent PCON duties he still performs I wish to award him a SB!

Saitou is one of the major cogs in CSP.As PCOn I know that if I give him a job he will do it as quickly as possible and to the best of his abilities, and he has done this throughhout his full reign as PCON. Though recently events meant that I was unavailable to be online as much as I like and stepped up his pace to run, and lead CSP to a victory in, a Clan Feud against CSK.

His actions over the last few months has made him poplar all across the Clan, and he is much more than a PCON. This is the only award I have given him since he took his post, as I believe in larger awards being more accessible to the general membership, and this is one of those occasions where this award is truly deserved.

<b>As recommended by SWL Tron Sadow</b>: To my knowledge he has been an active participant in the Krath Monthly Topic setting an example for the entire house as well as encouraging them to participate, he has held a series of regular Run-on competitions by which he measures the house members progression. Their are also fiction competitions which are based on set topics and he grades them. These competitions end with members recieving awards of one sort or another.<br> <br>He has taken up the job to create a house website. He instituted a mandatory character profile for each members, in which they were to say more than the basics about their character so that they'd make a history and get involved. He has served as Aedile for quite some time and has even taken over as acting QUA while Aseret was on leave and did an extraordinary job. His consistent service is an example for all.<br> <br> <b>As recommended by DJM Mairin Astoris</b>: Bant has been a long-standing member of the DB, and has been an Aedile since House Dominatus was first formed. His work has been continually exemplary, and his attempts to improve the activity levels and membership numbers within Dominatus are extremely good. I have no qualms in recommending him for this award - his hard work more than qualifies him for the same.
