Migrated from legacy data

I am honored to elevate Derek Cinn to the rank of Equite I in the Brotherhood. This is a monumental feat in any career within our club. It shows that a member no longer requires constant direction or motivation from others - he finds it from within. I am excited to watch your journey unfold. I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg in a very promising progression through the ranks.

Since his last elevation, Derek has participated in 42 competitions, organized 1 competition, submitted 3 PvP Matches, finished 4 ACC Battles, penned 10 Fiction Activities (14698 words!), passed 11 Shadow Academy courses, and earned 2 Dark Side Degrees. In that same time, he has collected a myriad of awards: an Anteian Cross, a Dark Cross, 14 Crescents (1 Cr-D, 2 Cr-R, 2 Cr-A, 4 Cr-S, 2 Cr-E, 3 Cr-T), 9 Clusters of Fire, 43 Clusters of Ice, 10 Clusters of Earth, 1 Cluster of Graphite, and one Seal of the Crusader. In addition, Derek has stepped forward to be an active voice in the creation of our Clan’s gaming culture. While his contributions have been limited to minor suggestions, edits, and presentation of ideas - he is rapidly soaking up what it means to be an Equite that leads without an official position. I have seen him separate from his peers - striding ahead - in the way he conducts himself in chat, how he approached the club, and his willingness to move from a consumer of activity towards becoming a producer.

It is for these reasons I believe he is ready for ascension into the Equite ranks: his maturity, his continued activity, his willingness to create meaningful content. All the earmarks we expect of someone leaving behind the Journeyman ranks. Congratulations, Derek. I am very proud of your achievement and what it means for House Excidium.

I am ecstatic to recommend the promotion of Derek Cinn to the rank of Equite I. Derek has been one of our members to strive for perfection in all that he does; especially when being there for his friends and fellow members.

His activity on Telegram is greatly appreciated. Through his conversations, he brings encouragement, laughter, kindness, and happiness to our community. In addition, he is always ready to offer help with proofreading fiction entries and ACC posts. Since he joined Tacitus Athanasius, he has been a firecracker of activity - always aiming to achieve by putting his best foot forward in competitions and events. This is shown by getting 14 crescents in his 40 submissions! For such tremendous activity, he has been awarded a Dark Cross and an Anteian Cross en route to this promotion. He also works with Xan Phraz-Etar to develop our gaming community by sharing articles, streams, and assisting with our bi-monthly newsletter for all-the-things-gaming.

Derek carries the burden of unfulfilled potential on his shoulders, because I believe he shows great promise. And I anticipate that he will come into his own as we continue into the future together. I am so proud of all that you have accomplished and I am very eager to be there to see what will happen next.

I can’t believe that this same guy I recruited years ago is finally joining the Equite ranks. Ever since he returned, Derek Cinn has been on fire within Scholae Palatinae. Especially in Tacitus Athanasius. Having known Derek the longest, I take great pride in having been able to see him rise quickly in the clan. He’s had a huge presence in both clan and battle team group chats, and has contributed to many discussions as well as been a great friend who’s always there to listen. He has participated in numerous competitions while having placed in many of them. He’s also taken part in four ACC battles and 3 PVP matches. It cannot be forgotten that he also was awarded his first Anteian Cross for participating in competitions, receiving of 2 Dark Side degrees, and accumulating 10 crescent medals. Derek continues to impress as he strives to progress further in the DJB, and I know he will go even further in rank and in success overall. It is with great privilege that I welcome Derek to the rank of Equite 1. Congratulations!

I’m very happy to add my recommendation for Derek to be promoted to the equite ranks. Since returning to the clan, Derek has been active across every area of activity the club has to offer, earning numerous medals in both fiction and gaming, with the addition of a growing collection of Shadow Academy Degrees. These raw activity levels have been maintained at a consistent and high level for quite some time, in addition to Derek’s contribution to the clan community via the telegram channel.

For his skill and diligence in displaying a wide range of abilities, Derek has more than earned his place in the Equite ranks. Congratulations!

It is an exciting day to see a member take the step into the Equite ranks, doubly so when it is a former apprentice. Derek has returned to active duty with a flash and energetic style, that rubs off on all who interact with him. With some 44 competitions, 11 SA Courses, two merit awards, and a bunch of clusters to show off, he has proven to be ready to advance beyond the rank of Knight and truly begin his DJB career. I’m incredibly proud of the efforts Derek has been showing since his return to CSP, and very honored to recommend his promotion to EQ1. Congratulations Derek! Drinks are on you!
