Event History

Seals has been one of those members you just kinda watch and wonder what they're gonna do next. From cranking out tons of art for the Herald staff (as told by Vyr below) to doing all the things (as told by Xantros below) to just taking the time to talk to folks and produce the weekly comp round-up she happily posts in the clan channels, Seals shows that she has the drive and tenacity to dig in and get it done, as evidenced by this award. Her very first Ruby Scepter. This is a major milestone for any member, this shiny pimp cane you can use to bonk people.

No longer will Seals be the bonked, but can now be the bonker. Bonkee? Eh, you get the idea. Congratulations, Seals! Well done and I'll see you in the next one!

It is my honor to recommend J’Kast for the Ruby Scepter, in recognition of a period of service defined by exceptional consistency, sustained engagement, and reliable leadership in support of the Brotherhood’s ongoing activities.

Over this award period, J’Kast distinguished himself foremost through an extraordinary level of participation. With 505 participations, he stands among the most consistently active members of the club, demonstrating a level of presence and reliability that materially contributes to the health and vibrancy of the Brotherhood. This activity is further reinforced by his competitive success, having earned a total of 216 Crescent awards during this time. These include 11 Crescents with Diamond Star, 22 with Ruby Star, 52 with Amethyst Star, 58 with Sapphire Star, 49 with Emerald Star, 15 with Topaz Star, and 9 with Quartz Star. Taken together, these awards represent placements in approximately 43% of all competitions he has entered, an impressive rate of success given the sheer volume of his participation and the diversity of events involved.

In addition to his competitive presence, J’Kast contributed as Aedile by actively hosting competitions that supported both our monthly competition series and the Operation Zerek event. Throughout his eight-month tenure, he helped sustain consistent member engagement by designing and running competitions across routine and large-scale Clan initiatives. His leadership was practical and impact-driven, centered on providing reliable activity opportunities and maintaining momentum across event cycles.

J’Kast also maintained a balanced activity profile across other areas of the Brotherhood. He participated in 57 gaming activities, maintaining a visible presence in the club’s social and competitive gaming spaces. Creatively, he contributed through roleplaying, participating in five sessions totaling 4,541 words, while also serving as a Roleplaying DM for an additional session, contributing 473 words in a facilitative capacity.

Academically and societally, J’Kast continued to invest in the Brotherhood’s long-term development. He passed 7 Shadow Academy courses and earned 3 degrees, alongside achieving 14 society rank-ups across multiple organizations, including the Aurora Collegium of Sciences, Grand Master’s Royal Guard, Inquisitorius, Shroud Syndicate, and the Envoy Corps.

Taken together, J’Kast’s record reflects sustained commitment, dependable leadership service, and consistent competitive performance. His contributions are marked by reliability and longevity rather than short-term bursts of activity, aligning well with the standards and intent of the Ruby Scepter. He is a deserving recipient of this award.

It is my honor to recommend Furios for the Ruby Scepter, in recognition of a period of service marked by exceptional leadership, sustained organizational commitment, and an extraordinary breadth of activity across nearly every pillar of the Brotherhood.

Over this award period, Furios has demonstrated a rare combination of initiative and follow-through, organizing 22 activities and co-organizing an additional 41. This level of direct administrative engagement reflects not only reliability, but a willingness to shoulder the often unseen workload that keeps the club active and healthy. His service as Aedile and later Quaestor further underscores this commitment. Furios was the primary driver of both our recent Wiki Project Phase 1 revamp of our lore as well as Operation Zerek. For the former, he averaged roughly half of the work across the Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar, Azorian Citadel, Ice Station Zerek, Cilix, Confederacy of the Outer Reaches, and House Ventress articles. He also served as the main overseer of the project, coordinating the efforts of three other project members while providing initial review and feedback before the articles were submitted to me for final approval.

For Operation Zerek, he coordinated all Clan Summit members at both the House and Battleteam levels to execute the event. In essence, he took point on running the operation in much the same manner a Consul would for a major Clan event. This was in addition to his day-to-day duties as a Summit member, where he consistently focused on member engagement and support. He also continued what has become a Plagueis tradition with our vacation competitions, this time delivering the Vacation on Hoth event in 2025. His five news posts, split between position reports and major event updates, further demonstrate a willingness to communicate, document, and elevate the accomplishments of others—an often underappreciated but vital form of service.

Beyond leadership, Furios’s personal activity level is nothing short of remarkable. With 217 participations and 116 gaming activities, he has been a constant and enthusiastic presence across competitive and social spaces alike. His engagement with the Antei Combat Center, completion of ACC battles, and steady gaming output reinforce a sustained commitment to the Brotherhood’s core interactive offerings. Furios has also made significant creative contributions, producing over 22,000 words across regular fiction and roleplaying activities. Complementing this are 15 fiction activities outside the ACC and consistent roleplaying participation, highlighting a member who contributes meaningfully rather than sporadically.

Academically and structurally, Furios continues to invest in the long-term strength of the Brotherhood. With 12 Shadow Academy courses passed, 4 degrees earned, and affiliation across multiple societies—including the Shroud Syndicate and Envoy Corps—he exemplifies well-rounded engagement.

Taken together, Furios’s record reflects sustained excellence, broad impact, and selfless leadership. His contributions extend well beyond any single role or activity type, touching organization, participation, creativity, and mentorship alike. This level of service is fully in keeping with the standards of the Ruby Scepter, and I can think of few more deserving recipients.

It's an incredible pleasure to make this recommendation today. While this Chiss is called Malodin'Tater, he is known to our community simply as Tater. Like his namesake, he is a flavorful addition to our community and, like any starch, is a heavy but desired presence.

Since last being awarded 25 months ago, Tater has organized 5 competitions and participated in an astounding 407 competitions. This has earned him 92 Crescents (2 Diamond, 20 Ruby, 33 Amethyst, 25 Sapphire, 7 Emerald, 3 Topaz, & 2 Quartz). Additionally he has earned 150 Clusters of Graphite, 134 Clusters of Ice, 12 Seals of Transcendence, and a Seal of Loyalty. Tater wrote 51,975 words across 37 fiction activities, he's completed 16 courses in the Shadow Academy, and gained 5 degrees. Tater has also achieved 7 society rank-ups (1 GMRG, 3 Inquisitorius, and 3 Shroud Syndicate). This level of activity has obtained 1,556,220 credits for Vizsla while Tater has achieved 24906 MXP through these activities.

Yet, Tater has also contributed significantly to Vizsla and has earned an additional 1043 non-site MXP needed for a Ruby Scepter (25,949). To start, Tater has been a consistent and welcoming presence in the Vizsla channels, especially warchat, on Discord. Always present and always willing to interact with others. In addition to this, Tater has served as M:CON to Sarin for 3 months earlier this year assisting with the clan wiki revamp as well as working with Sarin to develop a vision for the clan's future lore. This has been significant to us as Tater now has become a wealth of knowledge allowing the clan to continue Sarin's vision from the lore projects they shared and developed. Since becoming Quaestor two months ago, Tater has instrumental to carrying this legacy forward as we have furthered Sarin's ideas by developing the clan theme, establishing lore items like Blackspire Tower, and expanding the worldbuilding that he and Sarin mapped out over many talks and emails ago. In addition to this, we've gotten rid of the M:CON role and have been using the QUA roles as they were intended, with Tater now taking the lead on the administrative duties for Wren by hosting regular competitions in our Bounty Board series and providing evaluations of his membership so we can ensure folks are rewarded properly. For these contributions, Tater has the clan's thanks and we wish to recognize those contributions through today's Ruby Scepter.

Since earning her last medal, Zuza has organized 16 competitions, co-organized a further 5, and participated in another 154 competitions. This has earned her 105 Crescents (8 Diamond, 35 Ruby, 27 Amethyst, 20 Sapphire, 10 Emerald, 1 Topaz, & 4 Quartz). Additionally she has earned 1.507 Clusters of Fire, 4 Clusters of Graphite, a Scroll of the Master, and a Seal of Loyalty. Zuza wrote 3.619 words across 3 ACC matches and served as judge for a further 5 matches, thus advancing her rank in the Antei Combat Center (participant) society once and in the Antei Combat Center (judge) society 5 times. She wrote 8.894 words of fiction, a further 32.489 words across 22 Roleplaying Sessions and a further 2.535 words while DMing a session. This earned her an impressive 99 Clusters of Ice. Zuza also passed 2 Shadow Academy Courses.

Zuza has been a veritable powerhouse presence in the Taldryan Social Scene on Discord. Always present and always willing to interact with others.

In itself this would already be impressive. However Zuza did this while serving on the FIST staff the entire time, first as a Magistrate and now as Praetor. I will let the FIST document her work in these roles in his supporting recommendation though.

Zuza, when you came to our Clan, you hit the ground running. I am very happy to see you’ve made yourself comfortable in Taldryan and hope to be able to award you many more medals in the future. I am beyond proud to award you the Ruby Scepter for your efforts over the past 7 months, congratulations, you’ve more than earned this!

Supreme Chancellor Ood Bnar, 2025-11-09 23:18:02 UTC

It's Jack, he Jack'd off, did all the things: Jack'd up the volume on all our competitions, running the COU Campaigns alongside me, running DB Wide Poetry competitions, running roleplays, and pushing Odanites to participate in everything they can get their hands on. On more than one occasion, he's thrown jacks under my feet to slow me down, remind me to take care of my own health, and keep me from burning out. And most importantly, he's been a good man, with a good service record for Clan and Club.

Organizing/Co-organizing 61 competitions since his last recognition, Jack has also participated in 148 competitions (183 if we include containers), judged and completed an ACC Match (with a word count of 1,112), written 2 Regular fictions with a word count of 1,993, and joined 22 roleplays with a word count of 17,343, advanced 7 ranks across various societies: 1 in the Inquisitorious, 2 in The Shroud Syndicate, 2 in the ACC as a participant, 1 as a judge, as well as increasing his rank once in the Envoy Corps as a participant.

He has also earned 3 Crescents with Diamond Stars, 7 Crescents with Ruby Stars, 8 Crescents with Amethyst Stars, 12 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 7 Crescents with Emerald Stars, 2 Crescents with Topaz Stars, 4 Crescents with Quartz Stars, 796 Clusters of Fire, 41 Clusters of Ice, 16 Clusters of Graphite, and a Seal of Loyalty. Jack has also earned 748,100 Credits for Odan-Urr over the same time.

As my PCON, Jack has worked to continue our outreach, training, and recognition programs. Routinely working alongside our newest and youngest members, we've tried to promote a culture of learning and empowerment from within Odan-Urr. Through several family and health crises Jack has stepped in to cover the Clan's needs in my stead, especially over the last 6 months where recent issues have sidelined me for a few weeks at a time sporadically leaving him in charge of the Clan for roughly 3 of the 6 months, he has often reminded me to take time to recover and grieve as needed, and worked tirelessly to keep our Clan moving, even as we lost the entirety of our upper summit within the period of a month, and moved to promote our junior varsity team to take their place a little sooner than anticipated to keep the Clan agile. His continued work to better the conditions and future outlook of Odan-Urr: organizing our storylines (developing half of the dozen potential storylines for our ongoing Campaign), accessibility, and overall activity levels through his ever-present competition series (both assisting me in the mass competitions of the COU Campaign and his own separate Cluster Race series and monthly RP runs), his presence and power in-Clan have been ceaseless, from bullying the Bunny, corralling Kav, rounding up several of our stray members, and providing them all with comprehensive, hands-on instruction to help them find a better footing within the community. Jack has been the gentle hand, cajoling and cheering our members as needed, providing the pressure and support to keep them grounded and pointed north through the chaos, coaching our young leaders on, ensuring, and establishing protocols to promote further in-house activity.

Month after month, he has worked his way through our roster with me, performing routine outreach. He has worked with some of our more silent members, keeping them on the Roster and attempting to reintegrate them into routine activity, most recently bringing LadyCaprinet back around as well as establishing contact with four others who had fallen out of touch or who were at risk of rogueing out in recent days. His efforts are plain as day when you look at Odan-Urr's overall activity referencing the recent Parabellum cycle, with 30 members having taken direct participation.

Ever onwards~

Vincent has continued to be an incredibly valued and impactful member of Clan Scholae Palatinae since his last recognition. His presence has been truly irreplaceable; not only as a dedicated member, but also during his time as Quaestor of House Caliburnus where he led effectively for an additional four months before stepping down. Throughout his leadership, Vincent remained consistently motivating, positive, and effective.

Although he stepped down due to real-life responsibilities, Vincent continues to be an active and engaged member of the clan as time allows. His dedication is reflected in his impressive participation record: 319 competitions, nearly 100 Crescents earned, a Silver Nova, 162 Clusters of Fire, 17 Clusters of Ice, 34 Clusters of Graphite. He came in 2nd place overall for the clan event we just finished and those are just a few of the many things he has accomplished. Beyond regular activity, he also made significant updates to the Steelstrike Garrison wiki page, helping to define the lore and identity of the Caliburnus base.

Vincent’s ongoing contributions leave a lasting mark on CSP, both in activity and community spirit. Words can’t fully express how much we value him, but perhaps a Ruby Scepter would be a good start. Congratulations, Brujah!

Empress Rayne Palpatine, 2025-08-18 01:37:12 UTC

Nora Olen is one of Plagueis's finest members, maintaining absolutely amazing activity levels while also contributing a truly stellar amount of staff and support work for the Ascendant Clan. In a bit of a reversal, I'm going to lead with the non-site tracked work she has done and then follow on with the site tracked metrics. It's been a bit since Nora received recognition of the variety that the site doesn't track and quantify, so buckle up because it's gonna be a journey. Nora's last award with a speck of non-site XP on it was handed out back in August of 2023, and there have been quite a few events and a mountain of summit work in the intervening time. Nora has held down the fort as the Queastor of both Houses at one point or another for a total of just over 13 months of that time, and then added another two months as Proconsul to boot. Those times have overlapped with a Great Jedi War, Pro Bowl, and several Clan feud events. Her work during Great Jedi War XVI was absolutely muchly responsible for the Clan's overall second place finish, with her House's contributions being a 60%+ participation rate that was driven by Nora's steadfast one on one engagement with her members. She and TuQ were both in a competition for overall participation for their units, and drove 23 unique entrants and 8 members to achieve 100% participation scores. Without Nora's work, there is no doubt in my mind that Plaguies would not have managed the second place point total that we were able to manage. Beyond that, she did excellent work promoting both our Ascending Conflict feud in 2024 and our recent Ascending Conspiracy event in 2025, with both Clan events seeing 50%+ participation rates for the units she managed (the clan as a whole for the former as PCON and House Tyranus as QUA for the latter). Even when not holding an official position during the most recent Pro Bowl, Nora was a tireless peer leader driving Plagueis participation levels, which is in large part why she was brought back to the summit as QUA immediately upon the event's conclusion. She was additionally assigned 10 unique award and/or promotion recommendations to submit on behalf of her members over her time on the summit (outside of auto generated recommendations via the XP system), and completed all of them in a timely manner to ensure our members are recognized for their efforts promptly. Beyond that, she even took it upon herself to get the wiki page for House Ventress (her unit at the time) created and uploaded to the wiki, finally building upon a general outline that had languished for more than a year since the unit's inception. The amount of work Nora has done, through good and hard times both, demonstrates the level of dedication Nora brings to the table at all times. I can, without hesitation, state that our Clan would not be in such a healthy place nor would I look forward to reading our quarterly activity breakdowns from the Council without the work that Nora does for Clan Plagueis.

When it comes to the subject of tracked activity, Nora is still an absolute machine. Since her last medal in mid-January, Nora has participated in 158 competitions while taking home placement hardware in 111 and eleven of them (in the form of 3 Diamond, 14 Ruby, 27 Amethyst, 23 Sapphire, 26 Emerald, 13 Topaz, and 5 Quartz Crescents). That means that Nora takes home a placement in just over 70% of the competitions she enters. If the site didn't track it, I might not be able to believe such a staggering statistic. She's also earned 107 Clusters of Fire, 2 Clusters of Ice, and 20 Clusters of Graphite. I know that activity at that level would leave me absolutely exhausted without a lot of bandwidth for anything else, but refer again to the prior paragraph to see how much work on top of her own activity Nora does to give back. Absolutely stellar. I know that I am thankful every day that I have Nora on staff, as her contributions really are larger than any of the words I've used to describe them. Through thick and thin, Nora has done her Clan proud and given great credit to the ranks of the di Plagia. She has served the members of Plagueis with a tireless dedication unrivaled in the more than two decades I have served in the Brotherhood. I know the Councilors she worked for will also outline her stellar work within the Brotherhood community as a whole, but I can say that she continues to impress in the small corner of it that I am charged with the stewardship of. I'm glad to finally be able to put "pen to paper", so to speak, and document for the official record all of the hard work that Nora does to make our Clan and the Brotherhood a better place for all. Once again Nora, and not for the last time I'm sure, you have my thanks and the thanks of a grateful clan.

It is indisputable that Korvyn is an absolute unit. Korv has been on the Regent’s staff nearly as long as I have. His impact in that time is absolutely immeasurable. In his role as Magistrate, Korvis most frequently worked on the behind the scenes things. He would be the one that did our policy updates, update the wiki, silently complete whole booster release sheets, or really complete anything that you put in front of him. His time as Praetor was no different.

Since his last medal, Korv has contributed to the Dirty 30 release, helped update and write revisions to the Aspect Policy, captained the development and release of the Upgrades project alongside Anubis, completed countless QoL updates, and so much more.

For the DB’s 30th anniversary release, Korvis was instrumental in finding and researching all of the unique DB items. He was able to find many different items that corresponded to the various great Jedi wars and fit with the overall theme of the release. He also greatly assisted in the input and QC of this release.

For the upgrades project, Korvis worked with Anubis to get all of the land vehicles and space vehicles updated to the new “Upgrade slot” template. He has also rewritten 86 armor aspects into new prototypes that will be included in a future release. He’s also done the same for droid aspects. Korvis was absolutely instrumental in getting this project off on its feet. He’s completed much of the ground work that will make it easier for us to release in the coming weeks.

As a councilor, having a trustworthy and reliable staff is essential to success. Korvis certainly fits that mold. As Regent, I came to rely on Korvis to get tasks done quickly and efficiently. I came to rely on his decision making to be well informed and based in a deep knowledge of how the possessions system operates. And in all the time we worked together, he never let the Office down. Upon his recent transfer to the office of Praetor of the Headmistress, I found no bitterness. Instead, I found myself thinking how fortunate the HM’s office is to have such a dedicated and passionate Praetor. I wish Korv all the luck in the world with his new venture. I have no doubt that you will crush that role and help the Shadow Academy move to new heights, much like what you have done for the Regent’s office. Congratulations, my friend.

Thran Occasus-Palpatine, 2025-06-22 20:08:57 UTC

Master Bentre Stahoes is one of those rare individuals you always want by your side. There are few words that can fully capture the scope of mentorship Master Stahoes has selflessly given back to the Clan. When one thinks of Clan Naga Sadow, Bentre’s name and reputation inevitably follow. He is a foundational pillar of this Clan, and it is truly an honor to speak to his character.

At one point or another, Bentre has mentored all of us. He has one of the most approachable and welcoming demeanors you’ll ever encounter, making him a natural soundboard for others. I doubt there is anyone in the Clan who hasn’t benefited from that endearing quality. I can attest to this personally, he has been a mentor to me since my time as Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan.

There has never been a moment where Bentre hasn't given his full attention to a fellow member in need, whether it was helping correct an invalid Character Sheet, explaining the nuances of Force powers, hopping into gaming sessions to boost GRMG ranks, or building our presence in the online gaming scene. From assisting with wiki pages and shaping Clan plotlines to offering advice to the Dark Council, Bentre’s steady guidance is felt across the board. Whether it was during his tenure with the Wiki, the Shadow Academy, or the Star Chamber, his counsel always comes with the weight of respect and admiration.

In full transparency, there are few conversations Lord Keibatsu and I have had where Bentre isn’t involved or brought in for his insight. His ability to work with others, read the room and attack the task at hand is a natural gift. His positive rapport with members across the Club "Is strong with the Force", one cannot help but value both his friendship and his wisdom.

Bentre is, in many ways, is the Swiss Army knife of CNS, versatile, reliable, and always ready to lend a hand. From addressing questions of “Have you seen this?” to “How do I do that?”, Bentre is always in the thick of things. If he’s not orchestrating something, he’s diving in without hesitation. Most recently, he took it upon himself to start prioritizing and updating our Clan’s wiki pages. An immense task that requires significant personal time, research, and attention to detail. Where others might shy away, Bentre steps forward. And thanks to his skills as a former Wiki Tribune, both the Club and the Clan benefit greatly from that precision.

His dedication to Naga Sadow cannot be overstated. While we often highlight the statistics and accolades he’s earned over his storied career, it’s his character and consistent presence that truly leave a lasting mark. His influence is felt, his mentorship appreciated, and his friendship cherished.

On behalf of Clan Naga Sadow, we want to extend our deepest thanks, for everything you’ve done for the Clan, and for all you’ve done for us personally as a mentor and friend.

It is with great pride that we, Clan Naga Sadow, recommend that Master Bentre Stahoes be awarded the Ruby Scepter. Thank you for your unwavering service, and congratulations on this prestigious honor.

Adept DarkHawk Sadow, 2025-05-21 20:11:22 UTC
