This medal encompasses two aspects of Shadow's work: his GJW level creation, and his time as CoG. Shadow was never properly rewarded for his time as CoG, but I'd like to point out some things about it. I've been in and out of the GMRG a few times, each time expecting great things out of new leaders and getting basically nothing. Well Shadow was different. He actually made the GMRG fun again. I honestly enjoyed being a part of it (first time I did), and I know many others did as well. His time as CoG definitely should not go unrewarded.

Secondly, his GJW level creation was a neccessity for the success of Phase 1 of the Obelisk portion of the GJW. He created three levels in a very small amount of time, and with the small amount of time the editors had been around did a good job in my opinion. Some might say he abandoned everyone by quitting CoG and not doing the last level he said he would do. However, you must remember what he did do, and that his reasons were not outrageous either. Shadow did a job that no one else wanted, and not many others could do. I hope this reward goes through because he is one member truly deserving of this.
