Raimi has completed all requirements for his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. He has been a Jedi Hunter for six weeks, has received two Dark Crosses for graphics work, has been awarded eight crescents for competitions, completed his 15 total competition requirement and has passed Leadership Fundamentals and Leadership Studies. He has also run two highly participated in competitions, and completed his major house task (the preliminary planning and organization of the upcoming House Cestus RO, on which he spent weeks). He has a Dark Maven in General History and has completed a Wiki article of high quality (as well as the aforementioned second competition).

I don't think there is anything more I can say in a promotion recommendation. Raimi is one of Cestus' central members. We rely upon his activity, spirit and fantastic work to remain a top house in the Brotherhood. Additionally, Raimi's recent appointment to Cestus Rollmaster reflects his dedication to the organization. Congrats Raimi! You deserve it, man.
-Ji K'awiil, Quaestor of House Cestus

Raimi has been a powerhouse of activity, ideas, fiction, and creativity...and I've only really known him for two months. Returning from a leave of absence, the former Aidyn Wolfwood has astounded me with his work. Besides completely rewriting his character, he has done an intense amount of work in fiction, including in the most recently finished clan run-on, "Broken: The Final Chapter." But what his activity archive doesn't tell you is how powerful his imagination, drive, and focus really is. Beyond the received medals, the graphics, and the plethora of SA exams, Raimi is a volunteer, a leader, and has an incredible knack for storytelling. His own ideas have snuck into our Grand Master's own fiction, and he continues to outline ideas and stories for his house and clan. Now I expect him to go even further in his work as the newest Rollmaster of House Cestus. I know his fresh ideas will do wonders for our already vast archives of Tarentum lore, and I am looking forward to what he has in mind next. Well done, Raimi, and consider this promotion not the end of a trial, but the beginning of an era. ~Ronovi Tavisaen, Proconsul of Clan Tarentum

Juda is probably the best artist we’ve had in the clan since Orv. He’s done over thirty character images since his last promotion (I could list them, but seriously, it’d take like half a page =P). On top of this, he has done two installations of the #arcona comic – a parody of the chats that occur in #arcona that has been brilliantly received both within and outside of Arcona. Another of his many artistic enterprises is his most recent gift to the clan – the Arcona calendar: another parody, which depicts prominent members of the clan posing nude (however, all are artfully preserving their modesty, much to the token heterosexual clanmembers’ collective relief =P). This added together is around 300 hours’ work and in my eyes more than enough reason to promote a fellow to EQ2, however I’m aware that standards have risen, and I am glad to say that Juda has risen to the standards ;)<br><br> His other forms of activity are many and varied. He participated in Arcona’s Great Hunt (a series of timed and skilled events ranging from Flash games to internet hunts to ACC matches) and placed second overall, being bested only by our Arconae and resident pwnsauce dispenser, Zandro Erinos. He’s also been a strong participant in the Arcona Arena Tournament (think ACC, but better), reaching the semi-finals after a series of varied and highly entertaining fights. Finally, of note in his activity is his assistance he gave me when Muz asked me to come up with a Ground Forces list for the upcoming RoS rewards. He worked diligently on finding a series of links and lists of relevant troop types etc – easily around 4 hours’ boring work which he took to instantly and without complaint. It is rare to find such a willing assistant who isn’t looking for some form of reward. <br><br> The aforementioned example is just one of countless times he’s helped out with project-based tasks such as these, and his insight is always welcomed, as even his disposition in the clan is positive – everyone loves Graphic kids in the DB, but Juda is a step apart: People enjoy chatting to him and many call him a close friend. There is nobody in the DB that can find a problem with him, and he is yet another example of how the times are changing in Arcona.<br><br> When Braecen and I enacted Project: Reb00t on the clan, it demanded that every member be in a battleteam, thus giving us the immediate need for several new BTLs to step into action. Juda took to leadership like a duck to water. He produced regular reports for his Battleteam, Black Hammer and motivated his squad to be second only to Soulfire in the Great hunt. Subsequently, he served with distinction, putting out a number of competitions for two months before being made Aedile of Galeres at Christmas time. In that capacity, he has adopted more and more responsibility, focused mainly around promoting activity for the upcoming RoS. I cannot wait to see what he achieves in the future, and it is my distinct pleasure to be the first to congratulate Obelisk Prelate Juda Kodiak. <br><br> Sashar Arconae

Apprentice Jericho has taken an Shadow Academy course, which fulfills the requirement of completing a single activity and thus qualifies him for promotion to Novice. Congratulations!
