Aleister is one of the old guard of Plagueis, continually making contributions to our clan at a steady pace. His work over the years lead to him having a large bank of experience points when our new system launched, but it also left him in a bit of a no man's land: Well beyond the level of a Sapphire Blade (one of which he already possessed), but still short of an Amethyst Kukri. Knowing that Aleister was always one to continue to make progress, I knew in my heart that he would reach that goal before too long.

Since his last award, he has entered 28 competitions while hosting another 24. The competitions he hosted were not simply one-offs, either. He has put together and run his Grand Prix puzzle events both last year and this year, a significant undertaking for one not in active leadership. It shows that he continues to go above and beyond! He also has 36 gaming activities and a total of 373 Clusters of Earth amassed as well, but yet again the numbers don't tell the whole story. He was a major driving force in organizing casual gaming across Plagueis during our recent Clan Feud vs Taldryan, setting up and organizing gaming events almost every day while the event was in progress. His efforts in that arena were very much responsible for Plagueis taking 14 of the 20 available top 10 placements across the two gaming competitions and seeing 23 total entries to those competitions. His work as an activity driver for his Clan has not gone unnoticed. But, even more importantly for this recommendation specifically, is the number 2,221. That represents how much experience Aliester has earned since February 1st when the XP system went live. That means Aleister has 9,218 experience worth of activities on his record that has not been accounted for with his medal recommendations in the past. His work as a leader of our Opress Battleteam, his activity over the years, probably even his efforts stretching back to his time in Clan Tarentum have all been under-recognized over the years, and I'm very pleased to be able to put him forward for this award for all of that work.

As such, for his work for the Brotherhood and its clans, both past and present, I recommend Aliester Mavros for his first Amethyst Kukri. His continuing efforts to support our organization while battling through difficulty warrants this recognition, overdue as some of it might be. Thank you for what you have done, sir. Clan Plagueis and its members thank you.
