What other title (that I'm allowed to have) would be as fitting?

Advisor Reiden Palpatine Karr, 2023-01-06 17:28:35 UTC

Riddle me this…who can assemble a puzzle faster than you can create it? Our puzzle master has had an amazing career since his last promotion. More so than just an amazing career he’s had outstanding personal growth.

When I first met Reiden I thought he was an amazing writer and proofer but someone who was overall shy. What I have found in the last few years is that Reiden has grown to be a constant presence and engages with everyone within the DJB. I see him in every chat channel and not just saying a word here or there or making a comment but having deep conversations with people he’s fostered relationships with over the years.

Reiden had seemed to have found his idle position in Rollmaster where he was able to engage with the Summit and leadership of the Clan with low stress. With the announcement in 2022 that Rollmaster would be sunset I launched upon a journey to raise Reiden into one of our Quaestor positions. There were quite a few conversations with myself and with Thran and, through a mutual trust, Reiden agreed to try it.

He’s grown over the last 6 months and is a living computer when it comes to comparison knowledge on medal and promotion awards within the DJB. I kid you not, test him. He is nearly 100% aligned with what the Bear will come back with on any of our reqs.

More than all the above, which is a lot, Reiden has become my friend and an advisor I constantly look to in order to balance if I’m going to do the right thing. I am confident I’m not the only one based upon how everyone has engaged with him over the years.

I am honored to put Reiden forward as a candidate to join the Elder ranks.

I’ve known Reiden for a long time. Like a long time. Seeing him reach Elder is an accomplishment I wish I could show his younger self. I can only imagine the shock. Tenacious and ever-present Reiden continues to thrive in the DJB, even branching out further from his nest in CSP. As a magistrate, he has been fantastic, with an insanely rapid turnaround on sheets and competitions, and great insights on helping members improve their sheets (Not to mention already sprinting his way to the 5th total manual sheet approval in the club). With a great active effort both on the personal front as a member, and for the club itself as a staffer, Reiden has truly grown into a tremendous force within the DJB.

Mega congratulations Reiden on this accomplishment.

I have known Reiden for many years. I have also had the pleasure of seeing him evolve from a young man to a sterling representative of what a DB member should be. Reiden is an ACTIVE and ENGAGED member. I won’t bore you too much with numbers, but it is absolutely staggering what he has done since his last promotion.

Reiden was a part of establishing the new policy within CSP for awarding the Clan title. His conversation with myself and Ric (Tater). Helped facilitate a much more streamlined process that ensures the Palpatines are electing new members with regularity. As a QUA, Reiden has begun to learn the ins and outs of awarding medals and running competitions and I am certain he’ll only grow more proficient with added time. Reiden has also served as a member of the Voice staff, where he assists the other word-nerds in reviewing character sheets. Before that, Reiden served as our Clan Rollmaster. Although that was before my time on Summit, I am certain he offered his wealth of knowledge to our Clan’s journeymen and leaders alike.

What really strikes me about Reiden is how he presents himself. I have noticed, for a long time, that when a new face shows up in the General Chat or in the Scholae Chat Reiden is always the first person to extend a welcome. Yet, he goes beyond that. Not only does he offer the welcome, he extends his years of expertise in an offer to help them with any questions they may have. When I look in the art chat, Reiden is continually praising the efforts of the many talented people. Artists are tough on themselves and Reiden is the first to celebrate their accomplishments.

Reiden is quick to tell someone they have done a great job after they have in fact done a great job. He’ll offer to help someone with a proof-read. In his role in the Summit of CSP, Reiden specifically does a great job with addressing concerns that we may be over-looking and crucially, his questions have helped me become a better leader insofar as it has reminded me that I must communicate clearly what I am thinking. He doesn’t lower himself to ad hominem attacks and is concerned with getting clarity on an array of issues.

I think that behavior really epitomizes who Reiden is as a person, member, and leader. To put it plainly, Reiden is more concerned with helping others than he is with helping himself. This is a rare quality in the world and arguably more rare in online communities. Reiden puts members first. When I think about what it is that makes someone an Elder, it is mostly characterized by service to the Brotherhood at large.

Reiden serves everyone he encounters.

It may be in little ways, but when looked at cumulatively the impact he has is a great force for encouragement of others. Reiden is omnipresent in the Brotherhood too. He is extending that force of encouragement beyond the walls of Clan Scholae Palatinae. If tasked with it, I could not think of a better Ambassador for our clan and club than Reiden. I always get a smile on my face when I see Reiden dropping a #beatkam or getting into our shenanigans in Scholae chat, because I know how special he really is and fortunate we are to have him as a part of our organization.

I am so honored to have been a witness to his growth as a member and I hope that I continue to have the pleasure of witnessing more growth as he occupies the role of an Elder.

Congratulations Reiden!
