Primary reason

As always, Blade continues to excel as a member, a leader, and a friend. Over the last two months, in addition to completing all Aedile related responsibilities such as bolstering her house, she has managed to participate in 18 different competitions. Of these 16 were specifically for our feud against Naga Sadow. From these competitions, she earned 3 Diamond Stars, 1 Ruby Star, and an Amethyst Star. She also brought home 48 Clusters of Fire, and 18 Clusters of Ice. All said and done, she was easily our clan’s highest scoring participant, and brought home a bronze nova! There is no doubt CSP would have been in big trouble if she hadn’t been there every step of the way kicking ass and taking names, while also encouraging everyone around her to do the same. For her skilled and fantastic efforts, I recommend she be awarded this Steel Cross.

Additional reasons

Since her promotion to the Equite bracket, Blade has served the purpose of my left-hand man. Through performing the same duties I do, such as motivate members, lead by example, generate new content and support inactive members as well as our BTL, she shines out excellently.

Most recently in the feud, it was our goal to push our hardest against everyone, give them a reason to do one more competition, game again or draw something down. She provided feedback, proofing, assistance in anyway she could, and garnered the thanks of the clan for it. Simply put, Imperium wouldn't has produced enough entries without her inspiring words and example.

Well done, Blade!

Blade was the standout performer in the clan feud, the only member of CSP to earn a place within the top three. She entered every single event, winning many. Her gaming record is savage, near-on unbeatable in JA. She's earned three diamond crescents since her last recognition 2 months ago.

Most impressive is that Blade has been able to do all of this without shirking her duties as Aedile of Imperium. Blade is a very welcome member on the summit team, and is always willing to provide her skills to help others, whether that be in fiction, where she has provided proof reading and advice to many in the clan, or in gaming, where she has been offering many hours of personal tutoring in the arts of JA.

Blade has been a dominant force for CSP and a fantastic addition to the summit.

How often can you call someone a rising star before it sputters and loses its sheen? Something tells me even if that happened, Blade would find a way to wow us yet again. This lady makes rising stars seem dull by comparison. Devoted, focused, talented, everything she touches turns into gold. Early on, she led me to believe she was just a great JA player. Turns out she’s a great writer too. And a great leader. And wise. And. And. And. I could go on and on.

She was the top player in the Shattered Ties feud, earning top honors several times throughout the course of the vendetta. More than that, she constantly aids her clanmates. She has held countless JA training matches and always makes herself available to proofread others.

You simply cannot ask for a better member.

Rising star. There, said it again.

Congratulations, Lady Ta'var

Primary reason

Blade Ta’var, our willing and capable Excidium Quaestor has continued her long streak of kicking ass and high performance. Her first three months as a QUA have been outstanding and she has taken to leading her house like a fish does to water. Constant communication, cheering on of her members, and incredible well thought out ideas for team have been a regular day at the office for her.

Since its opening, Excidium has struggled to get its clear focus of purpose. Within the first couple of weeks of getting QUA she provided both further details of how Excidium would function fictionally, but also found a way to translate that into OOC actions, providing a “mission board” and break down of “career” options the members of Excidium could pursue to further Excidium’s cause. She was able to simplify that into a single slide presentation that was clear and to the point, and worked so well, it prompted Lexiconus to work on his own clear breakdown for House Imperium.

With the pending full release of possessions she led a team comprised of Jorm and Archangel to create a fully thought OOB proposal. It clocked in at over 16 paged. 5 of which were a detailed breakdown of usage of ships by Excidium, why and how they would be used and how they would be seen from a civilian POV, and how it covered gaps in the overall clan fleet. It also included write ups of 8 custom aspects to detail the ships usage and camo as non-Imperial vessels. The proposal then included pages of supporting fiction around using the proposed ships in system. It was one of the most thorough and thought out proposals I’ve ever seen in this club.

Being the skilled leader that she is, she continues to get in the thick of it and leads by example. This last three months have seen her also participate in 21 competitions, including all of the events in Operation Starfall where she took home first place overall. In total she has also written some 14745 words of fiction! She has organized a further 4 competitions for her house on top of that. She has taken home 2 Diamond Stars, 7 Amethyst Stars, 4 Sapphire Stars, 1 Emerald Star, 2 PoB, 82 CFs, 30 CIs, and 1 Legion of the Scholar.

For her fantastic work both as QUA and as a member of the clan, I recommend she be awarded this Steel Cross. Congratulations Blade!

Additional reasons

Blade has performed an excellent job in her first three months as Quaestor. Her activites besides the day to day have includes

Creation of a new fictional direction and communicating this to the house by an organisational graphic that has been helpful to everyone in the clan, and adopted by Imperium too. Blade has been continually pushing further fictional direction for Excidium through report fictions in which she takes special effort to include as many members as possible. She has also begun to flesh out the house presence on the wiki pages.

Blade has no shortage of ideas, and early in her tenure presented us with a proposal to divide the house into factions that work together to accomplish house goals and drive individual as well as house fictional development. Blade's proposals also include the mammoth 16 page OOB for Excidium, based on the possessions sheet, including many pages of fictional justification as well as a clear, detailed plan.

Blade also makes considerable time for each individual members' needs. She has been a significant figure as a stand in master for Kylex, while his official master is away. She is also always available for proof reading fiction from the members of anyone in the clan, and has put these skills to use a number of times.

Blade is always willing to go above and beyond what is required of a QUA, constantly churning out new ideas, and I'm happy to award this Steel Cross. Congratulations
