17 Feb, 2023 Promoted from Augur to Adept Event ID 244919 Old Rank Augur (Equite 4) New Rank Adept (Elder 1) Requested by Adept DarkHawk Sadow Primary reason Twenty two July, 2010 a date that has haunted me since I moved into Clan leadership. Augur Ashia Keagan Keibatsu knows that date just as well. My intent is to hopefully correct that date with a new deserving one for the Augur to gaze upon. Over the years she has worn many hats, filling top level positions within the Club. Her inherent ability to lead makes her a viable member of any team. Never afraid to tackle those harrowing taskers when they arise, her demeanor and willingness to help others never falters. At every opportunity she has looked for a chance to give back creating positive impacts towards the experience of other members. All this in addition to stepping up as a leader multiple times within the Clan and helped provide a better experience for CNS members. What I can do is to attest to what I have seen as a member and of course what I have observed. There are some things that are easy to look at. For example there are some hard stats that one can look at. I mean, you know the things like: From early in her leadership career, she has put together both inner and joint Clan events. Bolstering Clan development with events such as CNS: Encounter at Citadel, Rebels and Ruins: A Clan Naga Sadow Event. Ashia also sought out strengthening relations between Clans with a CNS/PLA event CNS-PLA Operation: Antiquity. All total Ashia Co/Organized 32 competitions, 146 total comps she participated in and 26 total fiction activities. Of those 26 fiction activities, she has generated some 15992 words of fiction, with another 3210 words spread between 4 RO posts. The things she accomplished behind the scenes are the ones that stick out to me. She developed & guided my character through a multiple week story arc. Furthering my literary skills and broadening my character’s development. I also can not forget that she was and continues to be a constant soundboard and mentor. This is but a small sampling of her influence within the Clan. Ashia always made time for counsel, it would be fitting to say she is synonymous with leadership. Her endless willingness to help others is part of reason why she was bestowed with the title Daughter of Sadow. The thing about it is that Ashia is worth more than the sum of her accolades. One does not always have the pleasure to find members with as much time invested towards bettering our devowed Club and she has never asked for anything in return. Looking at the depth of Ashia's accolades, it directly equates to the length of time she has devoted in supporting our Club. Of all the things that Ashia has done during her time here, I feel that she has more than earned some recognition. She has earned an impressive number of awards over her tenure. Those awards include, two Sapphire Blades, one Dark Cross, four Gold Nova’s and two Bronze Nova’s. She has also earned twenty-nine Crescents, eighty-eight Clusters, one Scroll of the Master, one Legion of the Scholar and finally seventy-one Seals from throughout the Club. From Battleteam Leader through Proconsul, Magistrate to both the Voice and the Grand Master. Close to a decade of leadership positions alone makes her skills as a leader sought after throughout the Club. This recognition is more than overdo, and I hope that even though it took us a long time to highlight Augur Keibatsu’s achievements, know that your contributions to the Clan do not go unnoticed or without gratitude. Well done, Ma’am. Tonight your drinks will be on me. Congratulations on your promotion! Warlord DarkHawk Sadow Consul Adept DarkHawk Sadow, 2023-02-17 21:57:32 UTC Additional reasons Ashia is one of those folks for whom I do not feel her contributions have always been adequately covered. This deficiency, in part, certainly falls into my lap. At a time when I was a green-behind-the-ears Consul, Ashia offered her insight. She brought years of experience and a focus that I failed to appreciate in the earliest days as I should have. She brought a starry-eyed clan head to a realistic level, she pushed events and developments along, was almost always cool-headed. Honestly, there were times that even despite how uneven early-Consul Bentre could be that she was a rudder and an anchor for the Clan. She also stayed in the position of Proconsul for months beyond what she had initially promised. She gave more than a solid start for this former Consul. She gave above and beyond in the position of Proconsul. I know she continues to give advice to myself and others who ask it. I know she has been a personal friend to me and to others. Looking at the other Elders in the club and in Clan Naga Sadow, I see a member who has long-embodied the earmarks of an Elder. If anything, it is on my head that we didn't get her contributions recognized sooner. Even as real life rears its ugly head, Ashia even now is more than a friend to many of us, and her care for the Clan and the people in it is very evident to many of us. I gladly join my voice in support of seeing Ashia join the ranks of Elder. It is far too long in coming, and I hope that we can begin to set the record to right. Congratulations, Ashia. You are deeply appreciated and this is well-earned. No small part of our successes were in part due to Ashia's support. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. Bentre Stahoes Consul Emeritus Adept Bentre Stahoes, 2023-02-14 20:15:49 UTC It's been more than ten years since Ashia Kagan Keibatsu has been promoted. In that time, she has served as top-level leadership in three units and has put in often overlooked work as Magistrate to both the Grand Master and the Voice. She'd been in the thick of just about every project to come through the DC during my time as GM, and has had the daunting task of editing/clarifying/correcting my work for the entire time I was in that role. While I was GM, I was anxious to be thought of as biased in rewarding her, or that my being the one to put her forth for appropriate rewards would cause people to downplay her very real contributions to this club. This resulted in a massive blind spot as to her official recognition, and a grave sin that I hope to help correct today. Some of her accomplishments include: • Advised and helped streamline the 2010 version of the Character sheets, helping to drive the program to be more inclusive and less ACC-centric. Character sheets and the Brotherhood have a pretty complicated history, and her efforts to codify deliberately non-combat skills into the mix were a big step in that direction. •Served as 'chief editor' for plot fictions under Vodo as Voice, helping to make sure that the fictions between events went off without a hitch, incorporated the clans well, and helped drive hype for major events. •Helped to brainstorm and refine the planning and automation of societies via the return of the GMRG. This twelve rank structure with considerations toward full automation is in use today across almost every society. •Ashia's promotion guidelines for journeymen were adopted clubwide under MAA Kaek and modified very little when parsed into the automated Promotheus program. Prior to this, the promotion guidelines were a mixture of disparate requirements that varied from unit to unit, causing no small amount of confusion between the new members, the clan summits and the Master at Arms. •Helped me crunch numbers for six years, tallying and quantifying things like total knighthoods, leadership reports, competitions ran and even run-on posts made for each and every clan. This was as tedious as it was necessary as it helped myself and the DC understand the current states of the Brotherhood as well as where we needed to focus to get things better for our members. Almost all of this is automated in our current iteration of the site, so we are quite spoiled by having these things at a button press now, but this once was a tedious task. In her career in the club, she has been an invaluable advisor for myself as well as Sarin. She's served in top-level leadership roles in Naga Sadow, Revan and Taldryan, and has left indelible marks on the club in many areas across the entire club. It is my sincere hope that she be recognized for what she has done for the brotherhood, and raise her up as an elder. Lord Muz Ashen Keibatsu, 2023-02-14 22:03:04 UTC I'm honored to be writing this recommendation for Ashia. She has a long list of accomplishments since her last promotion, and other recommendations have talked about those, so I want to focus on my personal experiences more recently. I really enjoyed working with Ashia when she was last on Summit as Proconsul. She brought good ideas to the table and also tried to keep us all on task and focused. As I recall, Ashia didn't let things go for too long and she was tactfully able to help steer the clan in the right direction even when things could get off course. In addition, she has always been someone you could talk to if you were not sure about something or needed to vent, and she'd listen, but also offer constructive advise. It's great to have someone like that around in CNS. Not to mention all of her activity and other leadership roles since her last promotion. I'm glad I got to add my own words to this recommendation. Congratulations, Ashia! Locke Sonjie Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos Epis Locke Sonjie, 2023-02-16 01:59:27 UTC Ashia was one of the first people I met when I joined Naga Sadow and that I have come to call a friend over my time here in the DJB. She always worked a lot behind the scenes, which unfortunately doesn't usually get noticed by others so much. For me personally, she is more like a mother to me as during some difficult times in my life, she was always there to listen to me and offer suggestions on how to deal and tackle some RL struggles. I know that out of anyone here in Naga Sadow, she deserves to be made an Elder for her work, dedication, and sometimes sacrifice of time to help make Naga Sadow what it is now. I am honored to lend my support for this promotion. Thank you Ashia for everything you have done for this clan and for me, ~Tasha'Vel Versea, Proconsul of Naga Sadow Tasha'Vel Versea, 2023-02-17 18:47:10 UTC

7 Mar, 2021 1 Sapphire Blade Awarded Event ID 207205 Award Sapphire Blade Quantity 1 Non-site XP 1095 XP Requested by Adept Bentre Stahoes Primary reason As I have been making a bit of a quest for the Clan to balance our books and ensure the recognition of our members, one member for whom recognition has been far too long in coming is Ashia Kagan Keibatsu. When I first became Consul, Ashia had volunteered to help give the Clan a kickstart by serving as my ProConsul. She went above and beyond for almost two years in the position- 21 months- before the siren’s call of real life drew her away. This is above and beyond what she had initially promised, and that alone is laudable. Over that time, there were plenty of talks in Google hangouts, over emails, and over Telegram. Despite my tendency at times to get distracted, Ashia would be there to help to keep things in focus. She was there as we plotted future plot developments, brainstormed story developments she was there as a steady hand with a less-than-steady new Consul. She was not afraid to give a nice swift kick in the butt when things needed done. When you look at the successes in Clan Naga Sadow, like our Great Jedi War XIII placement as the Second Clan, a piece of that belongs to Ashia. When you look at many successes of the time in our Clan, dare I say all the successes, a piece of that belongs to Ashia. When you look at the success of Encounter at Citadel- an event we ended up having to pivot due to member feedback- the adjustment of course that helped ensure it ended up a well-received event was in no small part due to Ashia’s cool-headedness. A particular comp from the time run by Ashia was Conspiracy Theories which allowed our members to run with a rumor or story heard about the Summit. Besides this, there was the Old Fart Sadowans competition Ashia ran with our Rollmaster Tasha’Vel, in which characters would write a fictional account of what happens when our characters reach an old age. Then there also event like Operation: Antiquity, a co-operative event between Clans Naga Sadow and Plagueis taking part on a planet previously undiscovered by elements of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. She helped to plan what we found on the surface and much more. Really, she acted as a HUGE push to get things done in that event, in both planning and execution. She also helped in other competitions, like when we pitched the names of our new fleet assets to the Clan at large in A Rose By Any Other Name. The realization of Naga Sadow as a “Golden Era” style Sith Empire is in no small part thanks to the hard work of Ashia Keibatsu. As a group we took a good look at the strengths and weakness of Naga Sadow, and the discussion throughout the document where we discussed the whole concept as Summit members, I can see where Ashia addressed concerns or issues in a straightforward manner. She was not afraid to say where she was uncertain- rather she did not sugarcoat anything. Yet another thing I feel I have to thank her for. On the whole, Ashia constantly worked with other Summit members in the background as it was needed. She would poke us to get things done. She would ensure we were staying on task. She would ensure we kept forward momentum. She acted as an overseer and a lynchpin during her time as the Clan second-in-command. She was a bulldog. She was the sort to go and to do. She would keep at people to get things done. We had fairly regular meetings about the ‘what do we have to do’ and ‘what do we need to do to get it done.’ I am probably getting a bit rambly at this point, but really Ashia was a glue at the time. There is so much I feel that we owe her in where we are, and the manner with which Ashia operated has left an indelible mark. Today, I often take a more serious look at how I choose to operate, I think through it more, and while I can’t say I do so with a ‘what would Ashia do’ mindset, I can say that the memory of her time as my right-hand does bring those sorts of thoughts to mind: ‘is this really the best way we can do this’. Some particular example of this would include how Ashia addressed the irregularity of our unit reports. Ashia directly engaged our Summit members, set dates where reports were expected and she followed up with members when those expectations were not met. She also evaluated the way that our Telegram activity was working for the Clan and realized that our members were spread out between no less than five distinct channels besides our core Clan channel. This meant we shuttered a lot of channels, but more than that Ashia also pushed on us to be sure we were engaging with members in our chat. Ensuring we were recognizing members for their accomplishments was a part of that! She didn't limit that to just our Telegram channels, though. She pushed hard on each of our leaders to make full use of the mailing list to be sure that all our members were reached. These communication channels have been well-improved upon thanks to the actions of Ashia. As my Proconsul, she also pushed hype for things like the Great Jedi War hard. Beyond talking to just our membership, she also reached out to our title holders to try to rally the membership more thoroughly toward Great Jedi War XIII. These activities helped to push us to an excellent showing! Actually thinking back Ashia also looked for places where we might be wanting in terms of recognition. As such, she provided a very new Consul with an overview of our membership, their activity and a list of recommendations for recognition both in awards and promotions. She addressed our leadership directly to get to know them and to find out about the members themselves, their temperaments and their goals. One thing I think is quite worth pointing out: the addressing our reports, talking to our leadership and reviewing our membership's recognition were all things she did within days of taking up the mantle of Proconsul. I realize that parts of this recc probably sound a bit flowery, and yet I find it hard to do a sufficient job of describing the appreciation I feel towards Ashia and the energy she put in during her term of service as PCON. Which is also part of the reason I feel some shame in that she did not receive this award sooner. If you look at her dossier, you will see the 6 competitions she organized and the 23 that she co-organized. This includes the Encounter at Citadel, the OPERATION: ANTIQUITY, Rebels and Ruins and our return to Orian even in conception (and name) that became Redemption and Honor. That is another event that would not have gone down even half as well without her influence. In the personal sphere, Ashia took part in 65 competitions, oftentimes supporting Naga Sadow and the club, such as in the Pro Bowl. She also supported the Clan by competing in Great Jedi War XIV: Homefront, Great Jedi War XIII: Discord and Rite of Supremacy: Meridian to name a few that stand out in memory. These were events for which she gained 4 Seals of Visions, 14 Seals of Discord and 10 Seals of Fury respectively. She took two Gold Novae in Great Jedi War XIII, a Gold Nova in Rite of Supremacy: Meridian and got a Bronze nova for the team-writing-faction-creation competition of the Rite of Supremacy. That is nothing to scoff at! Additionally, she participated in 9 fiction activities with word count totalling 6382 words. She wrote 4 runon posts since her last recognition and composed an additional 2178 words. Again, she earned a total of 3 Gold Novae in the last three years and change since she was last recognized by an award as well as a Bronze Nova. Through her efforts she earned a Crescent with a Ruby Star, 2 Crescents with an Amethyst Star, 2 Crescents with a Sapphire Star, 2 Crescents with a Topaz Star, 2 Crescents with a Quartz Star, 18 Clusters of Ice, 34 Clusters of Graphite and a well-deserved Seal of Loyalty in 2019. I had already made mention of the 4 Seals of Vision, 10 Seals of Fury and the 14 Seals of Discord. On a lesser note she also wrote 7 reports as Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow and even passed a 2 courses in the Shadow Academy. Still, I feel like many of the statistics and accolades are really quite secondary to Ashia. I cannot and do not wish to deny any part of what she had done. I do think they show but a small part of whom she has been to Clan Naga Sadow over the years and as Proconsul. Really, that last spat of facts are but a small part. Given the lateness of this award, I am thankful I was able to detail in part the sacrifices she has made in time and energy, and that I might be able to better express the gratitude I feel for what she has done for Clan Naga Sadow and what she has done for this Consul. So without the slightest hesitation, I wish to submit this recommendation that Ashia Kagan Keibatsu receive this Sapphire Blade for all she has done, with the thankfulness of her Clan and the deep (and overdue) personal thanks of this dude. Bentre Stahoes Consul of Clan Naga Sadow Adept Bentre Stahoes, 2021-03-07 01:43:42 UTC Additional reasons I am going to take a quote from one line of Augur’s previous medal recs, “This medal is actually extremely late.” I have known Augur Ashia Kagan Keibatsu for several years now. She was one of the first folks I met upon my return to the Club. It did not take me long to realize what a pillar she is. When you look at her stellar career thus far, you will see Ashia has held many leadership positions. Regardless of position or title, the Augur is just a natural leader. Her skills at creating a riveting fiction, organizing, and implementing events are just the start. Her knowledge of lore and history in and out of the Clan rivals the staunchest of historians. All that and a calming demeanor only accentuates her ability to lead. During her time as Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, her knowledge and expertise were vital in developing four Clan Events. Starting with [CNS] Encounter at Citadel, followed by a cross-Clan event with Clan Plagueis for [CNS-PLA] Operation: Antiquity. Next was exploring the Temple of Endor in Rebels and Ruins: A Clan Naga Sadow Event, and finally ending with Clan Naga Sadow presents: Redemption and Honor. Amid all the detailed work that Ashia is involved with, the mentoring of members always came first. I can personally attest to this as she took the time and several weeks to guide me in expanding my own character’s fictional development. That is just a sampling of the Augur’s influence within the Clan. The Augur always made time for counsel as it was continually being sought out. I feel that this very mindset is part of why she is a Daughter of Sadow. During the [GJW XIII Event Long] Multimedia - Comic competition, Ashia's artistic adeptness snagged her a Gold Nova. The Augur also participated in another sixty-five competitions, including 6382 words of fiction and 2178 Run-On words. When not participating in comps, the Augur organized six stand-alone comps and (Co)Org twenty-three more. Augur Ashia Keibatsu is more than deserving of this prestigious award. Her contributions to this Clan cannot go unrecognized, and I am honored to be able to speak to her excellence. I wholeheartedly support this award be presented to Augur Ashia Kagan Keibatsu. DarkHawk Proconsul Clan Naga Sadow Adept Bentre Stahoes, 2021-03-04 11:56:19 UTC Ashia has been with this Clan for so many years and has taken time and energy to help shape Naga Sadow to what it is now. I remember the meetings where she would lay out what needed done and afterwards she would check back with us to make sure we were on task. She was also a great person to reach out to if you also needed to vent or just talk. Sometimes I would have a rough day or something happened, I could always talk to Ashia about whatever it was and not feel afraid to speak my mind. In some cases, I felt like she was kind of like a mother to us. Partly why we all called her 'Momma Ashia' sometimes. She is an awesome individual that has done a lot of behind the scenes work that usually doesn't get noticed, such as all the competitions I am sure that have been mentioned, as well as, all the meetings and planning for those competitions. I wanted to take the time to personally thank her for everything she has done to help make Naga Sadow what it is today and how she has helped me step up to what I am now in leadership. So I am honored to add my recommendation for the Sapphire Blade. Congratulations Ashia, you deserve it! Tasha'Vel Versea Tasha'Vel Versea, 2021-03-04 11:49:52 UTC
