The position of Fist is an unenviable one as it requires a excellent attention to detail and an ear on the pulse of our gaming community, and the ability to respond to changing in gaming. Over the last year, Drac has achieved more with his office than most Dark Councillors have or ever will. To say that he keeps his eyes and ears open when listening to the community is an understatement as he conducts regular polls and discussion on future supported games, keeps a close eye on game popularity and the very precise job of keeping the whole system balanced. In everything regarding our gaming community Drac endeavors to keep the balance to allow members the fun and recognition they deserve while keeping the system fair and open to all. Drac’s desire to run additional gaming competitions, offering members new opportunities for participation and competition, drove the development of our widely successful Bin system for Vendettas. His latest project, that of the new GMRG rules, has been a long time coming and has, so far, showed a positive trend in breaking up the long-standing gaming stereotypes related to the Leaderboard.

Drac has a very precise and organized manner in which he runs his office. All gaming competitions are planned well in advance (up to several months at least) and they are transparent and clearly voice to the members. He runs a well balanced portfolio of competitions and in the past year he has organize 34 competitions and co-organized 35. His efforts regarding the latest Rite of Supremacy have not gone unnoticed either, as his competitions drew plenty of participants. He is continually relaying information to the club, posting more than 25 news posts over the last year, and he contributes to the SA as well, grading more than 100 courses.

More than that, Drac is an excellent advisor to both of us. As a member of our Dark Council, Drac has been involved in every major decision we’ve made over the year. His patient and balanced approach to gaming is evident in his feedback towards all of our discussions and systems.

Considering his efforts to improve the Club, we congratulate Warlord Dracaryis for his Emerald Dagger.

Dracaryis is a terrific example of what it means to be a leader. He does not go looking for it, but often finds himself firmly seated within its confines. That was what led to his most recent stint as Consul of Clan Vizsla. Taking on the unenviable task of keeping the clan running in the wake of a tragic loss, Drac did everything that could be expected of him.

In total, since his last recognition, Dracaryis has held multiple positions including a year as an Appeals Panelist, 3 months as Praetor to the Fist, 6 months as Consul, and is currently 6 months into his current term as Right Hand of Justice. In this capacity, Drac has led by example. He organized 35 competitions, while simultaneously participating in 117 competitions. All the while he kept his clan informed with frequent updates in the form of 3 Consul Reports, 2 Supplemental Reports, and open communications regarding hirings and title holders.

On the leadership side of things, Dracaryis has been an active voice in leadership channels and discussions pertaining to his clan and the club at large. A quick search in my inbox shows his name as a constant presence, looking at the state of gaming in the club (something Vizsla is known for) as well as strongly representing the Chamber. His input is always counted on and welcomed. He views himself with a clear lens, knowing before anyone else that his time was up when it came to being Consul and knowing when enough was enough. He is able to hold himself accountable while also caring about the continued legacy of his clan.

On paper, he is an example of doing everything right. The Vizsla summit under Drac is a constant source of activities and attempted engagement with their clan. The spark is being constantly tended to and opportunity is always there for our members to engage with. He empowers his leaders to engage with the clan in a healthy way and is a constant presence in the Cluster mines himself.

I can think of plenty of ways to thank Dracaryis for giving me, in particular, piece of mind when it came to Vizsla's leadership, and this is just one of them. I'm happy to submit for this award, though digital thanks is only the beginning of what I wish for you.

Congratulations, and thank you.
