Orv Dessrx is one of the most talented coders in recent years in the Dark Brotherhood. His skill is only surpassed by an altruistic urge to help everyone, no matter the length of the project, and with total disregard for his own reward. In the recent months since he has joined our club, he has done countless scripts, hosted a website for a clan feud, and most importantly, he was the sole programmer of the Outer Rim War 3 battle tracking application. The work he has put into this latter project was simply amazing. With a total time of over 20 hours of coding, Orv's battle tracking application has changed the fate of the Outer Rim War. The competition was suffering greatly from a lack of a competent ranking system, as the spreadsheet and reporting methods were very hard for all the hosts. Orv came up with this system in a week, and it completely changed the course of the competition from then on. His system is complete with live rankings, an easy reporting feature, countless statistics and rankings and so much more, all fully automated. The complaints towards the reporting system stopped after the release of this program, and people could enjoy their gaming without the confusion regarding reporting matches. Even after the system was designed, Orv did not just leave it alone, he continued to improve it, adding more and more administrative, or visual improvements to it.

Orv Dessrx has gone beyond his normal duties, helping the Outer Rim War in a way we could never fully reward him. This medal does not reflect just the DB's gratitude. Each and every other club that participated in the tournament would like to express their thanks to Orv's coding and cooperation. Without his work and dedication, I do not think the war would have even continued pass the third week.
