Dark Jedi Master Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor or as I got knowledge of him: Yacks. Truly a Taldryan to his Heart, he was the second most active member of the House overall. To start, Yacks was not only a stellar presence on IRC, his e-mail communication was also a great benefit for Taldryans mailing list. Starting throwing together his major efforts in the GJW I need to mention that Yacks played a key-role in the Wiki and Battleplan events. Overall the list of events Yacks participated in sums to a total of more than 33. As this might not be enough Yacks managed to place in the top 10 seven-times, as well as in the top 3 three-times. Thank you Yacks for your awesomeness during the 10th Great Jedi War.

Dark Jedi Master Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor you are by far deserving of this recognition for your hard work. That for I am supporting the recommendation of this Grand Cross of the Dark Side for you.

For participation in the GJW X, placing in the top10 for seven events (3 of which were the top 3) and participation in the wiki and battle plan events. Keirdagh has had a constant presence on IRC and the mailing list, encouraging everyone to participate and sharing with us the things he was doing. It is for this as well as his continued support and inspiration for Taldryan that I have the pleasure of recommending Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor for this Grand Cross. Congratulations and well done!

Having been a newer member the last GJW that the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had (GJW9) and not being in a position like I am now, I was far less aware of how much work Yacks puts in for Tal, nor the amount of care he puts out there in seeing Taldryan to succeed. I have yet to see a member who had been Rogue just a week before the start of the GJW make such a comeback as he did. Yacks managed to place 7th in the Brotherhood overall, representing his Taldrya family by participating in 33 events, placing top 10 seven-times and top 3 three-times. That's incredible, and truly a testiment to what "skill" is.

It is clear that there is a much larger force driving the awesomeness that is Yack's. Far more even than a member who is in the prime of their DJB career working in Taldryan, as he truly knows what it means to be a Tally, and how to take care of his own. That means dedication so tough you will put aside your selfish gains and do more for the betterment of those around you - so that others can gain when you succeed.

Yacks is certainly one to get used to, as he is both loud when it comes to what he wants and he speaks his mind; but it takes a member like Yacks to fill that position, and is motivating when he gets on your case. This member has been around and knows the ins-and-outs of how things work. Capitalizing on this knowledge, he made sure he was a voice of reason whenever he saw the need to give a member insight on an event, and made sure that no excuse was going to be allowed to live. Yacks was highly active on IRC as well as over the mailing list, paired up with his fellow Dark Jedi Masters in Taldryan, he would lend his opinion and constructive criticism to any and all who were around: even me, and even members of other units. Yacko was both aware and present for this war, and it was clear of that by his many emails over the mailing list that consisted of him pushing people to be active and to participate in everything they could manage, in addition to his strong presence in #taldryan and #db doing the same. He made sure to say his peace, and give a less experienced member some insight on events and strategies that were extremely helpful.

For his killer instincts in the art of the Vendetta, and his true sportsmanship, I hereby decree that Dark Jedi Master Keirdagh Taldrya be awarded a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. It truly has been an honor serving as your Quaestor, as your equal, and as the newb that still needs to learn a thing or two from the greats.

Please take this as a token of our appreciation for your hard work, Yacko.

Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor for your most awesome work during the first Phase of the Dark Crusade I am hereby requesting you to be awarded with a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. You have pushed yourself beyond what dedication to your House should look like, participating in every event of the Crusade in the last three rounds as well as being a great asset to Sid and myself at keeping track of member activities and sending out e-mails to the rest of the House reminding them to give all their best they can. Thank you Yacks. Obelisk Prelate Rian Aslar Quaestor of House Taldryan

#10701

When I came back from my hiatus, I was met with two interesting characters in Taldryan: Howie and Yacks. This isn’t about Howie, so let’s move on. Yacks and I clicked immediately, so I knew he deserved a Grand Cross. However, it helped that he has been one of, if not the main, driving force behind Taldryan’s recent successes and accomplishments on the DB stage. He initiated and completed most of the revamped Taldryan Military Wiki articles, corrected an erroneous DC-made fleet points sheet, stood up for wrongfully punished members, encouraged new blood to become a part of Taldryan culture, along with the OFH promoted and pushed all of Taldryan beyond the finish line in all chapters of the first phase of the Crusades, and still continues to drive every aspect of the House towards a standard of excellence with such passion some might mistake for a mental illness.

I do not hesitate to say that Yacks is the backbone of Taldryan, and for his work during and around the Crusades deserves nothing less than a Grand Cross. While you’re at it, promote him to Dark Prophet!

Yacks is an interesting guy. I would like to say I don’t understand his motivation after fifteen years in this place, but that would be a lie - because I’ve known him for just as long. What I mean to say is that his motivation makes no sense. This is a guy that more or less topped out on the DB’s honours nearly a decade ago, there is no where left to go for him - unless some damn fool makes him Grand Master (that said, if someone wants to promote his ass to Dark Jedi Primarch, please do!). Yet he remains as Taldryan’s heart, soul and left kidney. He has an obsessive need to see Taldryan do well, and his actions on both an individual (participating in all the Crusade events and placing in many) and group (motivation of Taldryan’s younger members, and pestering and guilting her older or ancient ones) level. As a token of my (and Taldryan’s) appreciation for all that he does - I recommend Yacko for the Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

I know some people wonder why you still hang around and fight for this place, Yacks; but I'd like think that I know why.

Lately, Yacks and I have been saying the same things; and often time it's kind of odd. I definitely, thought it was odd; for a while at least. Yacks never trained me; he was never around for long periods of time while I was leading in Taldryan. In fact, I didn't know Yacks extremely well until the time of the tenth GJW; at least that's what I had thought. However, I'm now fairly confident we came back to Taldryan for the same reasons.

During the Crusade, Yacks has been an exemplary standard to measure one's self by. He has had perfect participation, he has placed in many events, he given advice to many people, he has reworked a vast majority of Taldryan's military fleet, and he has encouraged members to push themselves higher through direct communication and over the mailing list. Yacks ability to give everything he has on a personal level, and push those around to higher levels is amazing. It reminds me of 2004 when I was new and Kir would drive this clan to claim its place as king of the proverbial hill; and that's just one of many examples of the many things Taldryan's leadership has done that resembles Yacks' effort.

While all of this seems winding and rambling, it has a point. There is a reason for this resemblance, and I've only recently figured it out. Yacks is one of Taldryan's founders, and his will is forever apart of our clans identity. It has been passed down through the leadership for years now, and without it I wouldn't be who I am. His love for Taldryan pushes him to do everything he can for its sake; and that is the reason why Yacks still fights as hard as he does. That's the reason I came back, and it's the reason I have stayed around; and because of that I am more than happy to write all of this. Seriously, I'm just happy that they've let me give this recommendation; if only to show my gratitude for everything. I'd like to hereby recommend Keirdagh Taldrya for a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.
