Since his last promotion, a year ago, Wade has been a truly invaluable asset for Taldryan and a true powerhouse of activity.

In the last year, he organized 7 competitions, co-organised a further 5 and participated in another 268 competitions. This has earned him 2 Amethyst Kukri’s, a Sapphire Blade, 81 Crescents (7 Diamond, 9 Ruby, 20 Amethyst, 31 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, 5 Topaz, & 4 Quartz). He also earned 50 Clusters of Fire & a truly staggering 372 Clusters of Graphite. He also earned a Seal of Loyalty this year. He advanced his ranking across the various societies 12 times. He passed 10 Shadow Academy courses and attained 3 degrees.

Wade wrote 7.438 words across 5 ACC matches, another 13.028 words of fiction, 7.421 words across 4 Roleplaying Sessions, and another 2.634 words DMing a Roleplaying Session.

When Taldryan needed him, he stepped up, first serving 4 months as Magistrate to the Consul, and later another 3 months as Proconsul. During this time he contributed heavily to the Taldryan Story Group, both in the general Storyline development as in the creation of Interitus Cairn. A significant part of that planet was born from his mind.

While always an active presence on the Taldryan Social Scene, Wade truly stepped up once he entered the Summit and I am truly impressed with his work over the past year. Since formally meeting him a year ago when I became Proconsul of Taldryan myself, not a day has gone by where I haven’t been astounded by the depths of his dedication to Taldryan and its members.

Wade, I was proud a little bit ago, to award you your second Amethyst Kukri in 12 months. Then this notification popped up and my astonishment overruled my realisation I had to write you another recommendation entirely. Congratulations on reaching the pinnacle of the Equite tier, it was paid for by your truly dedicated service to Taldryan and your endless efforts in the Clan and wider Club. Enjoy being an EQ4 while it lasts since I don’t think you’ll be there long before you enter the Elder tier!

As the PCON he replaced, I’ve watched Wade absolutely crush it. In the past year, he ran 7 comps, co-ran 5, entered 268, and stacked up the hardware. He advanced in our societies and wrote over 30,000 words across ACC, fiction, and RP (including DMing). When Taldryan needed leaders, he stepped up—4 months as Magistrate to the Consul, then 3 months so far as PCON—and left a lasting mark on our lore, and I know he'll continue to do so. I’m proud to salute his elevation to Colonel. Keep up the stellar work, mate!

Wade takes his work as a PCON in stride. He engages with the members but the part that really impresses me was that not only he engages with Taldryan members but that he makes sure they can be part of lore without having to submit comps. He understands that real life can be in a way so he came up with an idea of asking weekly questions that can become part of Tal new lore, giving the new and old members a like a fun time playing in the sandbox. I am so thankful for this. Wade has also made me feel very welcomed when I joined Tal for personal reasons. His real life gets hectic but unless he says something about it, you had no idea by the way he just engages and be involved in the community.

I look forward to working with you in the summit some more, Wade, and congratulations on the rank up!
