Nobilus, my trusted Magistrate.
I know how badly you have been looking forward to reaching this point, always dreaming of how you've got your character's next upgrades planned out and how you'd love to be able to do specific things at certain levels, but are just shy of the points required to make your CS accurately portray those. I still remember you were super excited, thinking you'd be able to reach it at Equite 2; just to find out you were 'just' shy of it. I won't lie, it was fairly comical watching you throw your Nobi-style tantrum after that happened and then laughing at the end of it all and planning for the next. A moment I wouldn't change for the world, as it showed me just how much you were invested in everything. In turn, I found it comical to turn the tables on you by telling you that I was having trouble getting enough together to get you a promotion despite everything you had accomplished so you could finally get that done. Well...that's actually because I was getting it all together for this instead! So I hope you don't hate me too much for the small deception, but hey, as you always say, it's all in good fun. (insert frog snickering face here)
That said, honestly it's those quirks of yours that always put a smile on members, your demeanor, and your positive and upbeat attitude, that made me proud to bring you on as my Magistrate back in July; and since then you have done nothing but prove that it was the right and proper decision as you continue to flourish and work diligently to ensure that Taldryan flourishes as well. Even if some of your ideas were, a little...odd. Like the name pun that Taldryan used to use which I won't mention here, but always makes me chuckle when I think about it or you bring it up.
You've helped us create new graphics for each of our specific divisions, our naval forces, armed forces, and intelligence services, which while quite a few of those are not yet being used until our wiki revamp is completely finished, I am eagerly looking forward to being able to utilize them and show them off. You even designed the official Seal of the Taldryan Republic which is proudly featured on our main wiki page and used as our core fictional centerpiece that defines us. Oh, and most importantly, designing my Republic-themed report graphics without me even having to ask. Because when I did ask if you could design some report graphics for me, you immediately dropped it in my lap already complete and ready to go; pretty signature and all.
That is one thing I have always appreciated about you, has been your drive and initiative. With the survey you sent out to the clan right after becoming part of the summit, dropping your own full spreadsheet with suggestions on how to optimize and structure it all item by item of the armed forces AND the naval forces at the drop of a hat when you learned we were looking at making additions to the two, especially our armed forces with the post-GJW credits. Because of that, I directly included you in our discussions of the expansion; and even now you eagerly and happily continue to add your own thoughts and contributions; even if they contradict the majority. I wouldn't have it any other way, as to me, having those ideas on the table I feel is vital, and offers new insight to things not considered; even sometimes changing the minds of some of the majority.
You've even started helping myself and Erin with the clan storyline, pitching ideas and thoughts as we actively move forward; and still ask if I have anything specific I need you to work on outside of your spontaneous and helpful projects; even while life gets busy with the season. And despite that, during the Great Jedi War you actively sought to beat the drums and help get members excited, motivated, and engaged; even at times when you were unable to yourself due to your sudden schedule shift (your boss is evil and may squirrels pelt them with nuts forever more). Always staying active in the chats and helping people with their own various projects that they need, constantly getting involved wherever and however you can, there's literally nothing about you that I would change.
Since your last recognition, you’ve participated in 108 competitions; 35 of which brought home crescents! You’ve burned through 52 different Shadow Academy courses with 8 various degrees as you move up the society ranks. You’ve taken part in 28 different gaming activities with 90 Clusters of Fire and 297 Clusters of Earth, an extremely nice number for the amount of activities; great work!
I look forward to 2024 and everything else you have to offer, especially as we begin more work in earnest to prepare you for the bright future you so want in leadership. Congratulations brother, you've earned this without a shadow of a doubt in my mind.
