Event History

Jazzy has been quietly busy since her last award. She entered 20 competitions (28 once you count containers), with a clear appetite for timed events, which made up 14 of her entries. Her fiction work came to 13,279 words, spread across 1 regular fiction piece and 15 roleplaying sessions as a participant, earning her 30 Clusters of Ice along the way. Where she really shone was quality: her 11 Crescents mean she placed in a remarkable 55 percent of her entries, a strike rate most members would envy. She also climbed 2 ranks in the Envoy Corps, picked up a Seal of Loyalty, and brought home 155,990 credits for Clan Arcona.

Jazzy contributed to the Arconan war effort despite competing priorities, participating in three events and contributing 11 points to Arcona's total.

I look forward to seeing Jazzy further develop in the Brotherhood. Congratulations!

Jazzy rocks. She gets the job done with a minimum of fuss or fanfare and just keeps producing high-quality results, and not for personal accolades, but because it just needs to be done. Furthermore, a mention must be made for her level of skill. As Wuntila has noted, whatever she shoots for, she seems to hit with unerring efficacy - she just owns everything. It’s definitely high time we recognised Jazzy’s outstanding contributions to Clan Arcona and the Brotherhood as a whole. Well done.

Jon (Sashar) has been a stalwart of this club since before I had hair on my chin. And that was a loooong while ago. Again and again, Jon has gone above and beyond for both the Clan and the Brotherhood, and I am delighted to be recommending him for another sacramental, this time the Sapphire Blade.

His recent tenure as Aedile has been excellent. He has been a wonderful ying to my yang, offering counsel, advice, and support. He prepared a Galeres pulse survey to determine the wants and needs of the House within his first week in office, alongside submitting a seemingly extensive proposal on Arcona’s military Order of Battle.

Jon has been integral in his leadership throughout the GJW XVII: Animus, encouraging members, proofing fictions and offering counsel and support to all members. He has mobilised a number of people from the annals of history to contribute to the war, and has taken an active role in many of the competitions on offer.

Jon’s performance in the GJW XVII: Animus was strong, bringing in 132.81 points for Arcona’s point total. He achieved 7th place in the Event Long Audiobook competition (and frankly stole the show), and 6th place in the Event Long Small Team RP. His activity and delivery through the war was excellent, submitting to 14 total events across the period of the event. But that’s not the extent of Jon’s performance…

Jon's activity since his last reward tells the story of a man who decided to eat the Shadow Academy whole. He passed an impressive 21 courses and picked up 5 degrees along the way, racking up 6 society rank-ups, 3 of them in the Aurora Collegium of Sciences alone. That's less a study habit, and more an addiction. And the less said about the summit’s emails on that one, the better… On top of the academics, he entered 16 competitions (19 once you count containers), spreading himself across manual, timed, fiction, graphics and gaming events rather than settling into one lane. His 5 Crescents mean he placed in around 31% of his entries, a strong return given how varied his submissions were, and a Crescent with Diamond Star sitting at the top of that pile is nothing to sniff at. His fiction output was 2,467 words across 3 regular fiction pieces and 2 roleplaying sessions, netting him 7 Clusters of Ice, while his 6 gaming activities added 30 Clusters of Fire, with 16 Clusters of Graphite rounding out the set. He brought home 232,550 credits for Clan Arcona while he was at it.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Jon for both his service and his counsel. He has been central to my role in Arcona, and for that I owe him a priceless debt. A Sapphire Blade will hopefully suffice for the time being.
