In-character developments have given me the opportunity to grow, and with my Praetor duties, I feel I would be of the most help to the Brotherhood without the biased stigma that comes with Clans.

Taigikori Aybara 5829 to EQ3 Though well-known how superb Taig's activity during the Ninth Great Jedi War was (he talked about it all the time), I am going to talk about Taig's superb activity in the Shadow Academy, activity he continued to uphold even while juggling various events during the vendetta. Taig's last promotion was in December, he was elevated from Magistrate to my Praetor, something I have never regretted, and he has proved countless times over how invaluable his services are. He helped convert the Dark Vault information into a Wiki article, as well as revamp the main Shadow Academy article. He's helped proofread various courses that will be released over the next few months, and is always coming to me with new ideas (many of which will be made public in the coming months). He has also been invaluable with helping out with ideas for the SA fictional updates, a new idea that we continue to improve upon. Taig is the perfect Praetor. Quick on responses and always willing to give his thoughts, he is my second-brain, doing everything I ask better than I could have hoped for. He provides insight on EP selections (and firings), new courses, new degrees, and helped beta test the new SA PHP site. He has also always been willing to step in when an EP goes on a LoA and pick up the grading slack, to make sure members get results as fast as possible. Most importantly, during the last GJW he help make sure that members received results on their degrees immediately, especially in times when my school work kept me from getting online. This last part is perhaps the biggest and most appreciated accomplishment, since we received a huge influx of requests the last few days of the vendetta, but Taig stayed cool (mostly) and processed them. The Shadow Academy GJW event was extremely successful, and this is due, in large part, to the time and effort put in my Taigikori. It is for his hard work as Praetor, and his eight extra mile-efforts to help out the Shadow Academy during the Great Jedi War, that I recommend Taigikori for this promotion ~ Dark Side Adept Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar; Headmaster of the Shadow Academy<br><br> Taigikori was a windfall Arcona has been incredibly lucky to stumble on. He joined us as a Quaestor and served in that capacity with distinction for just under 7 months, always putting out prompt competitions, helping his members settle in and have activities to do, for example just prior to the GJW he ran a JO training scheme. He gelled instantly with the rest of the summit and hardly ever caused waves (something of an oddity in Arc =P) and on many an occasion provided me with invaluable Counsel. He established the Ventrilo servers for Arcona, which was a useful tool for off-the-cuff summit meetings and generally socialising with other members of Arcona and the larger Brotherhood. I’ve lost count of the number of SA tests he’s passed (something like 15), and it is almost with reluctance that I move on to start writing down what he did in the GJW, as it’s hardly a small amount. <br><br> In addition to his superb service as Praetor to the Headmaster, which my colleague has already surmised, he was a force to be reckoned with in Arcona. He has participated in every Trivia Raken threw at us(1st in Week 1, 3rd in Weeks 3 & 4), often placing within the top ten. He participated in the Co-Op ACC event, In Whose Favour Gaming, the Flash Game event, and placed 1st in Skirmish 1 Gaming, 3rd in Elimination Gaming and 5th in Mistaken Identity and Adept killers Gaming. Obviously, with the final scores as close as they are, without Taigikori, Arcona would not have come anywhere near 1st Place. He is well deserving of this promotion, and I hope that he will be with us for many, many more. Thanks, Taig. – Sashar, di Tenebrous Arconae.

I've been asked to join the Dupar family, and I accept.

When Taigikori Aybara was announced as the new Quaestor of House Qel-Droma, I was hopeful. He had large shoes to fill coming in on the heels of Vorion, and Taig knew it. He immediately introduced a barrage of new policies and stricter protocols, each driving the House closer to the success desired in the Great Jedi War. He's worked his ass off as Quaestor, and he's become a symbol of leadership in the Clan. On a personal level, he's a good guy to talk to, helpful and eager, with phenomenal levels of activity. His gaming prowess and work in the Shadow Academy are also well noted, demonstrating his ability to contribute to the Brotherhood across the board. Taig is a hardworking Quaestor that deserves some love. – DJK Legorii Kryotek.

Taigikori came to me a few months ago, around August I want to say, to volunteer with some SA course audits. He was looking into ways of expanding his horizons in the Brotherhood, and wanted to do whatever he could to improve the DB and Shadow Academy. He did his audits, but then when others fell through he stepped up and quickly knocked them out. It was then that I realized he could be of great use, and so I made him a Special Magistrate. Since then, he has always been there willing to volunteer and helping out with anything I ask of him. He did a few Wiki audits, and even a truly boring Dark Vault assignment, but he never let up. He a, and recently went through and graded all of the waiting exams that were backlogged from the coding glitches, and there were a lot of them. He is a key member in discussions I have with Dacien and Kalak, and his ideas are always welcomed and often implemented in one form or another. He is also a great member to harass. I do not plan on letting go of Taig anytime soon, and I am already planning on giving him several new projects to work with, including helping with fictional developments. Taig is an amazing member, and while I can only speak of his involvement with the Shadow Academy, I can say that he is a crucial, key player here, and I am truly thankful for all of his hard work and dedication. ~ Sith Warlord Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar, Headmaster of the Shadow Academy

The above two resounding endorsements encompass what I see is a microcosm of Taig’s attitude towards the DB in general and Arcona in particular. I’d heard mixed messages before taking him on in Arcona as a Quaestor, however within the first week he’d already in my eyes proven himself by settling into the job like a duck to water. He’s settled into a brilliant working relationship with his Aedile as well as every member of staff on his team. Nobody in the clan has a bad word to say about him, because they all see the time and effort he puts in. He’s willing to muddy his hands and get stuck in and lead from the front. A particular example would be when I asked him to participate in the Arcona ACC Ladder. He doesn’t particularly enjoy that writing format, yet he didn’t even try to work his way out of it – he just nodded and put in a valiant showing. He puts out regular reports, keeps a close eye on his members’ requirements and rewards, and is always available to help with Clan-level projects should he be needed to. However, he isn’t just a yes-man. Taig’s recent singlehanded establishment of the DB Ventrilo servers are just another example of his willingness to think outside the box and benefit the entire DB, rather than just himself. It is high time Arcona recognised the easy-going willingness to help Taigikori always presents as the backbone of this clan, and one of the main reasons we are so settled and stable after a brief tumultuous period. Thanks, man. I don’t know where we’d be without you. - Sashar
