Dirk Valentine has shown his dedication to the Brotherhood by patiently waiting 4 weeks as a Protector. In that time, he has logged onto IRC and spent time amongst his brethren in Naga Sadow, completed his Obelisk Core exam, participated in 5 competitions, completed his ACC Basics exam and a character sheet. Further, he has qualified in the ACC, uploaded an excellent character wiki article, and personally submitted to me an excellent piece of fiction. I feel it is time to reward him by promoting him to the rank of Guardian.

Kushz has done a great job as an Apprentice and competed in gaming. As an outcome to this he earned himself two Clusters of fire, therefore showing us the needed activity for a promotion. Great work there Kushz, keep it up! In Darkness SW Cassandra El'sin

I ask two things from my Staff members: accomplish your task and if you cannot handle the burden, let me know as soon as possible. When I told my Staff I’d be gone for boot camp, I did not expect to be away for as long as I was. By the time I returned, I expected Muz would have to step in as a former Herald to keep things rolling. However, I was extremely surprised to see Jeric handling the duties of a Praetor and potential Herald with such ease.<br><br>After handling military duties for approximately 5-6 months, I was impressed to see that everything had been distributed amongst staff members easily, Jeric was handling requests as they came and in a timely fashion, On top of that, he handled himself and an extremely professional manner and was willing to assist further until I could effectively assume my duties as Herald.<br><br>In the time he has served as my Praetor, he has created 23 warbanners and an impressive 31 lightsabers for the Brotherhood, which is the highest number of sabers done by a staff member during my reign as Herald. Jeric Cyrin has been one of the most vital assets I have had as Herald and I cannot think of a better reward for him than the opportunity to wield a custom lightsaber.<br><br>I recommend Obelisk Templar Jeric Cyrin for promotion, receiving all the benefits and rights that come with the rank of Obelisk Prelate. Congratulations and thank you so much for all that you do. <br><br>-DA Shikyo Keibatsu Sadow<br>Herald of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood

This is one of those promotions that are such a given that you really don't need anyone specifically recommending it. If it wasn't for Orv, the Dark Brotherhood would not be able to modernize and grow. Period. Coding is such an integral part of this club, or very growth dependent on the ability to expand the capabilities of our website and offer more variety to our members. There is only so much any of us can do with the current tools we have. Orv is a godsend in borkified form...he has singlehandedly began the process of basically fixing our site so that it conforms to more modern standards, while introducing new facets to the website. I know everyone will talk about the new "Prestige" rankings we have, but what makes it even more remarkable is that this little rank has been a theory for over 5 years. Orv has made it a reality. Combine that with his continuing graphic work (as seen with the Disorder-website he designed) and all of the enhancements he has made to the website (especially the Admin areas recently), and it is very clear that he deserves this promotion. Congratulations Orv, and keep up the fantastic work! ~ Halcyon Taldrya, Sith Lord

Orv has been one of our code monkeys for a long time now. His presence has been amazing, even after his retirement from SCL. Now as Praetor, Orv commands the board with his massive knowledge of PHP and personable work ethic. In the 11 months since I wrote him a reccomendation for EQ3, Orv has been a blessing to the Dark Council and the Brotherhood as a whole. In the Shadow Academy alone, he spent hours upon hours fixing email glitches and tweaking the degrees to notify the proper people after over a year of inconsistent and glitchy emails. On top of this, he reorganized the training tab (along with all the dossier tabs) to reflect a more modern and centered forum to check one's scores. He removed the extremely outdated Character Histories which lifts a huge load off of the Headmaster's Office. All of the above is simply his work within the Shadow Academy...his other Brotherhood work, I'm sure Muz and the others will touch on, but I will recap on some more SA intimate projects. The Grind Path, more specifically the Grind Path sub-feature "Career Preferences" is being coded solely by Orv alone, which will go hand in hand with our Dark Brotherhood of the new decade. Throw this in with all the work he's done on possessions, the newly released Prestige System, and the coding of the last couple Vendettas...I'm honestly surprised it took us this long to promote him. On behalf of the Dark Council, Shadow Academy, and Brotherhood at large, I'm honored to do my small part in recommending Orv be elevated to the rank of Equite 4. Congratulations. Douche. Douche. Douche. ~ Taigikori Aybara Dupar, Headmaster

There's really not enough that I can say about Orv. Even as Praetor, his work ethic has been stronger than several Dark Councilors that I have seen. And boy, do we need him. His assistance in modernizing and streamlining our site has been crucial. His work towards programs yet to be released has been outstanding and keep me eagerly anticipating emails from him. It is his skill and ambition to see the club in a better place that helps motivate the rest of us that generate content for the club. His work not only includes the obvious Prestige program that was recently released, but also the slow conversion of the site to PHP, the GMrG coding, the ACC society rewards coding, enhancements to the MAA scripts and probably a dozen other things that swarm my mind to the point where singling them out is impossible. Orv is well on his way to Elder, and it's definitely time for his official rank to show that. Thank you again, for everything you do, Orv. I can't wait to see what you're going to hit me with next. ~ Muz Ashen, Dark Lord of the Sith.
