Donny is a workhorse wrapped in the bark of sass and the art of trolling. Not one to be felled, or to cry timber, he has constantly worked within the gaming community sharing interesting new products and encouraging people to play together. I honestly can’t think of a time where he wasn’t one of the clubs more prevalent gamers. But he also serves as an important voice in Council level discussions. He absolutely won’t hesitate to identify bull and call it out. There’s a stubbornness there. An unwillingness to yield on who he is and what he’s passionate about. And he translates that passion into success.
The Fist is a position within the Brotherhood that is deceptive. It seems quiet. Unassuming. It’s just paperwork right? Focused on the approval of games and CFs? Wrong. It's community. And Donny has pushed for community throughout his service as Fist. Often suffering the passions of that community, Donny has taken to the office of Fist to ensure continuing and lasting collaboration in play and experience. Notably, he took the Battlepass project through its entirety as a replacement for the aging leaderboard system and made it complete. Now in the wild, members have engaged with the Battlepass and known exactly where and how they stood in their path to unlocking the awards it provides and the specialized items that Councillors have designed over the years. As well, he’s held a constant finger to the pulse of the gaming community, looking at constant balancing passes in a never-ending battle against the “grind” and ensuring the value of our Crescents remain.
For all those reasons, and the community fostered that includes multiple chat threads dedicated to specific games that constantly yells at me to read them, I am happy to recommend Donny for a Ruby Scepter in recognition. Thank you, Donny. You have given of yourself to this club even to the detriment of your sanity time and time again. The least I can do is recognize that.
Side note: don't you dare hand me a physical letter addressing me as Grand Master again!
