Primary reason

The elevation of a member to Dark Adept is one of the most challenging and nearly impossible tasks within the Dark Brotherhood. You must touch all aspects of our club, act beyond the confines of your small unit, and provide a lasting and beneficial impact to our members. Dante has done this, is doing this, and will continue to do this for years to come. His elevation to Dark Adept is long over due, needed, and something we should all be proud of. Welcome to the Elders.

GM Pravus.

What makes Dante such an incredible member of the Dark Brotherhood? What makes him worthy of this elevation, and the prestige it entails? Dante is a many faceted individual, and one who has been a leading force within Scholae Palatinae, and the Dark Brotherhood, since his joining us.

Dante is a gaming god. There are no two ways about it. Almost no one can stand before him in Jedi Academy, and he can hold his own in a number of other platforms. He has one of the highest tallies of Clusters of Fire, and a ludicrous amount of Pendants of Blood. There are very few people who can boast just this array of victories and awards.

Dante is a stalwart. He is a consistant member, maintaining activity and excellence throughout the majority of his Dark Brotherhood career. You will frequently see his names amongst those who have submitted to competitions, both within the House and with out. Along with this activity, he provides strength of skill and prowess, and has garnered a heavy array of Novae and Crescents.

Dante is a master. He leads from the front, and trains our newest members. He's trained several members to Dark Jedi Knight, and will continue to do so in the future. His training has led to high-class submissions from his apprentices, whose achievements can only reflect fantastically on their master.

Dante a lore fanatic. His tireless work behinds the scenes with the Scholae Palatinae military is inspiring, even to me, the one who wrote most of it! His knowledge of the lore and military units of the Star Wars universe is unsurpassed in the Dark Brotherhood, and he lends his intelliegence to the creation of our military at every turn. Without him, we might have had no medics!

But most of all, Dante is a friend to all. He is kind, conscientious, courteous, and forthright. He is the kind of person the Dark Brotherhood needs and should strive to acquire. He is a prime example of the best the world has to offer, and deserves nothing less than our undying admiration and praise.

It's been a long time coming. Congratulations, Dante

Dante is the “Old Man” of Scholae Palatinae. There is no doubting his steadfast dedication to the Brotherhood, and his efforts to better it for all. A long time resource for myself, and the last several Scholae Palatinae leaders, there isn’t any of us who can imagine this club without him. When Thran has issues, Dante was there to support him. When Ood felt lost, Dante was there as a compass. When I would fall frustrated, Dante was there to help me back up.

To sum up Dante’s career in the Brotherhood, the only word I can think of is “immense”. He has served as both Right and Left Hands of Justice. He has sat on the Appeals Panel twice. He served as PCON in CSP with Thran. He served as QUA and AED in Dorimad Sol before the declanning. He was T:Gaming and helped set up what we now call the FIST’s position. He served as M:FIST when that position change happened.

In terms of his base level activity, there are few that can compare. When the SA Society first opened, he was the highest ranking member. He is consistently a top ranking member of the GMRG. His lifetime DJB Competition participation is at 272. Just since his promotion to EQ4 he has earned: 5 Diamond Star, 11 Ruby Star, 14 Amethyst Star, 19 Sapphire Star, 24 Emerald Star, 14 Topaz Star, 5 Quartz Star, 1 Amethyst Kukri, 1 Sapphire Blade, 5 Grand Cross, 5 Steel Cross, 4 Anteian Cross, 4 Dark Cross, 3 Gold Nova, 11 Silver Nova, 8 Bronze Nova, 2 Seal of Loyalty, 4 Scroll of the Master, 5 Scroll of Foundation, 3 Legion of the Scholar, 16 Pendant of Blood, 14 Seals of Defiance, 13 Seals of Affliction, 19 Seals of Reminiscence, 25 Seals of Decimation, 27 Seals of the Crusader, 9 Seals of Return, 8 Seals of Revelation, 2,290 Clusters of Fire, 23 Clusters of Ice.

These positions and awards have added up over the years. Since the additions of the prestige system on the site, Dante has regularly found himself in the top 10 prestige holders in the club. Then some formula tweaking would occur, and he would fall out, only to climb back in. At the moment he sits at 11th highest prestige in the club. He is quickly closing in on Anshar for 10th. He has been the only non-Elder member to break into the top ten. The next closest Equite member is back at 15th.

Rain or Sun, Snow or Hurricane, I know Dante will be there leading the charge on everything that is going around. He has successfully brought 5 different members to DJK, many of these members moved on to do their own amazing and impressive work. Xantros was a long serving AED in HSP, and the first T:Recruting. Rial is currently serving as a M:MAA.

Beyond the positions, the medals, the prestige, there is a man. He may not always be the loudest, but he always hits his mark. This club would be a lot emptier without him. I know for certain Scholae Palatinae would be a lot emptier. In my eyes, Dante has already been sitting as an Elder for a long time. I am glad to call him my friend.

Congratulations old man. Drinks are on you

Dante has a depth of knowledge and vision for Scholae Palatinae that keeps things on the right path through the years. This, above all else, is the invaluable contribution he has provided, his wisdom. In combination of all the things he has done and accomplished through participation nevermind his position in the Prestige lineup, and all his work in Scholae Palatinae as a leader in addition to the Chamber of Justice, Office of the Fist and most recently Shadow Academy, he has earned an elevation to Dark Side Adept. I won’t go into the details but speak more on his impact and character.

From my unique perspective on why Dante deserves the promote to Dark Side Adept, to Elder, requires at least some understanding of what he does behind the scenes. He has previously held positions as Aedile, Quaestor and Proconsul of Scholae Palatinae spanning 2 years that serve as the basis for all his current sagely advice. As member of the Scholae Palatinae summit and advisor on matters, he has a guiding hand in many of the decisions and directions we take. From helping structure our military and fleets, to helping with decisions about leaders and training, to plot discussions and fictional developments that include his vast historical knowledge, to fighting alongside us in competition after competition for as far back as anyone can remember without fail, he has his impact.

In regards to his attitude, and character, and his interaction with the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. He isn’t the most outspoken voice, but he gets involved in the important discussions. I’m not sure anyone could doubt his dedication to the Brotherhood and seeing it succeed and grow and become a better place.

Congratulations on Dark Side Adept my friend.

Primary reason

To whom it may concern:

Over the last six months, Dante has continued to demonstrate why he is the the "old man" of Scholae Palatinae. Dante continues to serve as the BTL of Dorimad Sol, a team full of incredibly driven and talented people. This team had all but one person go on to do stuff for the GJW. In this time frame Dante himself has gone on to earn 521 Clusters of Fire, 1 PoB, and 8 Clusters of Ice. He won a Bronze Nova from the Fading Light - Nicht Ka round. He has earned a further 11 crescents on top of that. Those come from 31 different competitions. Of those he had 5/5 Nicht Ka, 8/11 of HSP's Looking Home Campaign Finale, and 8 out of 11 for the GJW. It was Dante's vision for the Battleplan that pushed our team to take 4th for the event.

Dante has been instrumental in the filling of HSP's roster, beginning with his convincing of Delak to move from the EH to the DJB. At least seven new individuals have come to HSP because of this one conversion.

Dante remains one of the most loyal and hard working of the HSP members. He always gives good insight to issues and plans the House is undertaking. He has helped motivate and push HSP members into securing our third place victory in the GJW. He may be fond of the "laf"s and the "ZzzzzZ"s on IRC, but Scholae Palatinae definetely wouldn't be what it is without him. As thanks for his amazing last six months of effort, I recommend he be awarded this Grand Cross.

Additional reasons

Much of the work that Dante does that has the biggest impact isn’t on his dossier. He always shows up for competitions by looking at the numbers and finds some personal rewards for it, he brings in those he can to help strengthen our team and games a lot still with nothing left to prove. A lot of work still happens on IRC, even with the advent of WhatsApp, it still remains the key place where the conversations happen, with nightly conversations there about competitions, fleet structures, old members, new members, times long past and motivational comments through the hard times. It gives me some insight into why Elders are so important in any unit and why they are listed in the current version of the Clanning requirements. He isn't officially an Elder and so doesn't bear the title, but he fills the role perfectly for us as the most active among several other actual Elders. Thank you Dante for all the awesome work you do. Congratulations on this Grand Cross of the Dark Side.
