Primary reason

Other people will discuss Korvis’ (Vynn Salm’s) leadership and its impact on the club, but I’ll just say this: even though the man has retired, he continues to display those same qualities. Korvis has served as a Magistrate in my office for nearly two years now. During that time he has helped run two Life Day Celebration Series competitions with the rest of the staff (one since his most recent recognition as a member of my staff), always trying to provide an interesting and fun experience - even as he was gearing down to retire from Consul. He’s remained committed and consistent throughout his tenure with the Regent Staff, throwing his hands into any work that comes his way and bringing his own ideas to the table and putting in the work for it to see completion.

Our main priority since his last recognition has been the Crafting System. Countless hours of discussion pre-launch and post-launch, Korvis was part of the team effort to see our test of the system through, contributing on discussions for both lightsabers and corvettes to determine how they would work in their respective corners, while participating personally in the development of Corvettes by providing ideas for fifteen crafting materials (writing descriptions for four of them), doing a substantial quality control check with Teebu on all lightsabers and corvette crafting materials (forty-five separate pages) correcting a couple errors, before going through the process of stocking all of the lightsaber crafting materials, corvette crafting materials, and member corvette upgrades to the stores. On paper, it doesn’t sound like a lot of work, but in reality this is all stuff that we do manually using a bunch of spreadsheets and the website, and we’ll work through maybe five to ten different ideas before we settle on a path that might be altered.

In addition to his work on the crafting system, Korvis has been leading the charge on bringing a long-requested type of land vehicle to possessions, completing the entire development for seventeen different pod-racer prototypes that are just awaiting final pricing and review. Korvis recognized the members’ desires and without prompting put in that work himself to research and develop this impending release like he usually does. The man will rewatch seasons of SW media with a pen and paper to record what he can and bring that to the members, and his dedication to improving this club as a whole and leading from the front lines is consistently displayed even through his work as a Magistrate.

For his leadership as a member, countless hours of work as a Magistrate, and consistent devotion to the Brotherhood, I am happy to recommend Vynn Salm for a Ruby Scepter.

KORVIS GETS AN AWARDIS. I coined that.

Additional reasons

Will the real Slim Korvis please stand up?

Korvis was Consul for another three months during this award period that came on the heels of EL1 and I can say with certainty that if anything, his award and promotion lit a fire under him because he did not rest on his laurels. I had a lot of onboarding needed as his Pcon due to the fact that I was coming from a different clan. He worked with me on a regular basis for sometimes hours at a time to get me up to speed on just about everything possible: fictional direction, clan structure, the massive amount of documents, wikis, lore, and all the permissions stuff that we don't often think about as work.

Korvis had most of the Great Hunt clan event already planned well ahead of time, which was kind of mind-blowing to me, so it was ready to rock with full fiction and everything on the day it was due to launch. I was assisting him in running it but had a family emergency and instantly he was there to cover for me, no questions asked. The clan event went flawlessly with 11 competitions and 14 participants, which was just under half of the clan, with some the retirees and founders coming out of the woodwork to participate.

Korvis also retired from Consul during this period but that didn’t stop him from still running even more competitions and participating in our clan comps. Even in retirement he has been highly active in both warchat and public, helping to keep discussions and activity going when most of us are in slumberland. He has also been serving as great support for me as I settled into his chair - not boots, because he was a giant 14ft Rattataki whose boots I could never fill. Despite no longer having giant mouse ears, he always has one ready and advice when needed. Not all of us get to have our predecessor nearby so I am grateful and it has been a tremendous comfort and boon.

<Obligatory stats>

For the major bling-bling, Slim Korvis has earned the clan 442990 credits because he organized 46 competitions, coorganized 2, participated in 86, 9 gaming, 15 fiction, 2 courses, 4 news posts with 44! comments. Earned 1 Diamond star, 4 ruby, 4 amethyst, 10 sapphire, 5 emerald, 3 topaz, 1 quartz, 6 cluster of fire, 13 ice, 43 earth, 15 graphite, and 21 seals of transcendence for his war participation. Korvis obtained the special scroll of Foundation and of the Master for his student Legion reaching the rank of JM4.

Thank you for all of your community and clan efforts and ultimately, just being you.

Last summer, Korvis told me that he planned to step down from VizCON following the GJW. However when the time came he opted to stay on a few more months to avoid a leadership vacuum at the top of the clan after his former PCON left to take over COU. During his final months, Korvis could have rested on his laurels, but he didn't: he organized a steady course of competitions for Vizsla, most notably Great Hunt VII. Most importantly, he used that time to help prepare his summit for a leadership transition, taking on Socks as PCON and Ikarri as M:CON.

Korvis, you've done a lot for this club and for Vizsla in particular. Congrats!

Lord Dacien Victae, 2024-04-12 12:51:25 UTC

As a serious reason to this inquiry, Korvis (He will only ever have the one name) has been a great addition to the Chamber of Justice. Within days of accepting the role he was effectively managing the 'bread-and-butter' activity of the Chamber - reaching out to suspected clones and helping to guide these members to identify themselves or have their dossiers made accessible.

He is a natural investigator and his attention to detail was critical in his first case - also within weeks of joining the Chamber. He takes his role seriously and ensured to triple check all his findings while finding a balance of finding justice without being overly punitive in his approach.

I'm extremely grateful that he's joined my staff and look forward to continuing to work with him (hopefully on mundane things) for the remainder of the year.
