Wow. Just, wow. Who slipped what into Loki's coffee, and where can I get some?

This past week, he has managed to pass 19 Shadow Academy Courses. That's nearly 40% of all the courses currently offered by the Academy. This marathon also granted him two degrees, Dark Maven in Flight and Dark Maven in Combat. He's also now only two courses and a handful of Clusters of Fire away from his first Savant Degree.

I have seen some impressive binges on Shadow Academy courses, but non this large or this fast.

Loki, you're a machine and I hope you haven't burnt yourself out because there are a few more courses before you have done 'em all!

Primary reason

Ophelia, previously Deimos, transferred to Plagueis back in February during our post-Crusade, pre-clanhood high of celebrations and preparations. Monty drafted him to help head a battle team once our leadership structure shifted up a notch. Monty trusted him to deliver, and Ophelia has not disappointed. He has admirably led the Disciples of Dreypa for the past four months, helping to lay the groundwork for what being a BTL in Clan Plagueis means. All the way, he has continued to be a stellar member of the clan, participating in competitions including the Fading Light run-on as well as a grand duel in the ACC tournament only barely lost.

Heading up battle teams can be rough. Plagueis automatically places new members in a team, and the BTL serves as the de facto master until the member reachers Protector. This means Ophelia has to contact all new joins and push them to start getting promoted. It’s a fine line. Too much communication pushes members away; not enough lets them slip through the cracks. We also know some people on the internet just like to join things without follow through, yet Ophelia has to reach out all the same. The process is grueling, but Ophelia remained dedicated.

Recently, Ophelia has stepped for in a different way. He agreed to slide into the BTS position to allow Marduss to step up and learn the ropes. While a drop in position, Ophelia’s responsibilities have increased as he is now responsible for training Marduss, still helping to maintain the team, along with a slew of clan-wide projects I have started to task him with. Right out the gate, this included collating all of the judges’ comments and scores from Plagueis’ ACC tournament battles into a spreadsheet that allows us to see where we need to improve moving forward. It’s something of grunt work, but incredibly useful and Ophelia signed up without hesitation to assist.

Thank you for these months of hard work and service to both your battle team and the clan. I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future ~ DA Aabsdu Dupar, Consul of Plagueis

Ophelia has been an awesome, integral part of Plagueis since coming to us a few months ago. Assuming the position as BTL almost immediately, he helped to shape Ajunta Pall's first battleteam in every way. On top of his important role as the first BTL of the Disciples of Dreypa, Ophelia also took part in the Fading Light run-on and the ACC tournament that follows up, only narrowly losing out in his round.

Ophelia has offered invaluable contributions to Clan discussions and helping to move both Plagueis and Ajunta Pall forward. Moreover, his most recent action is the most tell of all for his character. Stepping aside to BTS to allow a younger, more inexperienced up-and-comer to take over as BTL is an amazing thing to do. Ophelia has agreed to help train some of our newer, younger people in leadership positions and roles and I couldn't think of anyone better to do so! -- SBM Teylas Ramar

Primary reason

Kojiro has participated in a total of 31 events ranging from fiction and graphics to gaming. He's passed 6 courses and gained 1 degree in the Shadow Academy. He has also received 9 crescents, 10 Clusters of Ice, 65 Clusters of Earth, 9 Clusters of Graphite and 1 Seal of Loyalty since his last award. He has spent 4 months as a Magistrate to the Regent and 9 months as Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos in Clan Naga Sadow.

During our recent clan event he had a 100% participation rate and really helped encourage others and helped to recognize achievements made within his house. He continually strives to better his house and I have seen a lot of improvement with his leadership skills in the last few months. It is with great please that I recommend him for this award.

One thing that certainly speaks well to Kojiro is his desire to be successful. In talks with him as we have been enacting the direction of Clan Naga Sadow in a post-Collective-reveal Brotherhood, Koji has been working to craft a story that he believes will both appeal to the members of his House and fit into the larger Clan story. He has pushed his participation in Clan events to grander heights and encourages his fellow Sadowans to do the same. He has tried to identify areas where he lacks strength and to build upon them. He has even come to me looking for specific places he could strengthen himself on.

He gets emotional about the performance of his sub-unit, which is a good indicator of how much he cares about his House. He has been improving as a leader and as such, I have no qualms with adding my voice in recommendation for this Steel Cross. Enjoy it, Koj.

Primary reason

While the last couple of months have been a little quieter as real life has kept him busy, Kojiro has not been out for the count. In the last few months he has continued to serve as a Magistrate to the Fist (for almost 3 months) and has organized three competitions in the position. Though I am sure Drac can and will more aptly speak to Kojiro's work in that office I could bear witness.

Most recently Koji stepped up to complete 9/25 of the four-way Pro Bowl V, and earned a 4th place Cresent in the third week Infiltrator. This means he brought back 54 points for the Frog Dogs and moreover has brought a smile to his Consul's lips with his efforts over the last three months.

I feel, all things considered, Kojiro has handedly and earned this Steel Cross.

Since his last recognition, Koji has continued to be a powerhouse member of the the Fist staff.

Over the past three months alone, Koji has approved over 133 gaming submissions providing clusters of earth and fire to 44 DB members.

In addition to that, Koji continues to provide content for the members of the club through the GMRG competitions program. Since his last recognition he has run three competitions and helped to manage three months of container competitions.

It truly is the intangible activities that make Koji such a valued member of this staff. Koji was part of the team that assisted with the transition to a new Fist as well as helped plan the implementation of Casual Gaming, which is slowly becoming the preferred gaming option for the club members.

This award is only a small token of appreciation for his efforts. Congrats, Koji--thank you for all you have done and continue to do for the Fist office!

Warlord Kojiro Keibatsu Sadow is one of those dudes that just grinds away whatever is in front of him.  He consistently produces content that is both challenging and fun.  Whether he is creating a comp or competing in a comp, you can guarantee the Warlord will be a heavy hitter.  He is a valuable member of both CNS and as a member over at the Office of the FIST.  His knowledge and expertise are continually sought after and respected.    I 100% recommend Warlord Kojiro Keibatsu Sadow for this prestigious award.  Thank you Sir and congratulations!

I'm honored to be writing this recommendation for Koji.

Although his last award was in February, our records indicate that he already qualifies for a Steel Cross with net Medal XP of 2007. Since his last recognition, Koji has participated in 15 competitions, for which he earned a Sapphire Crescent and 2 Clusters of Graphite. Koji is always around for major events, and he did a lot of ProBowl competitions and helped us out in the Great Jedi War. I'm really glad to have such a dependable member in the House.

Congrats, Koji!
