Do Work! If you were in Vizsla during Warp's time as Quaestor then you heard those two words repeatedly. He said it often, but he didn't just say it. Warp did work. In particular I want to focus on the time I was Proconsul. For a good portion of that time there was no Consul. Warp became my right hand man in handling the day to day running of the clan. From showing me how to work the admin system and learning the ropes as PCON he was invaluable. He helped me learn to organize competitions and even basic markdown coding for comps and reports. His efforts during this time, and really a lot of his time as Quaestor were never really properly awarded. That was my bad as he was forced to go rogue due to real life and I let it fall by the wayside. As far as activity I have no better way to explain how active he was particularly on the gaming front than this. Turel just passed Warp for the all time lead in Clusters of Fire. It took two and a half years of Warp being rogue for second place to catch him. But Warp did more than just play games. He taught others how to play the games and more importantly how to submit the scores and games to the website. I know this because he taught me. For most people that doesn't seem like much but for new, or in my case, returning members that was much needed.

Do Work! I modeled my time as Consul in part on Warps example of doing what needed to be done when it needed to be done. He never pawned his responsibility off on others. He was always a well respected member of the summit who's voice and ideas carried weight. He shaped Vizsla in a lot of ways particularly the work ethic members both under his oversight and above him developed. Congrats Warp!

I'll keep this short and to the point. I have served in two Clans with Warp and observed that he sets an example for everyone in the DJB, demonstrating a commitment to promoting activity for both himself and others. Even during his time in Rogues, he consistently joined voice chats and participated in gaming with Club members, remaining actively involved.

Vynn has already spoken on it, but Warp serves his Clan dutifully with an almost unmatched zeal when at his most active.

It's an honor to be able to provide this recommendation.

Thank you, Warp.

While browsing through the Vizsla roster for recognition and awards, one thing that jumped out to me was the huge hole left by Warp transferring to the Rogues. That clued me in as well that, as commonly happens when members go rogue, Warp’s accomplishments had been missed for recognition.

Prior to Warp’s move to the Rogues, he was a steady leader in the club and the clan, serving as a Magistrate to the Fist for a term, thereby helping approve over 75 gaming submissions as well as running monthly competitions as part of the M:Fist mandate. Further to that, he held a position as Quaestor of House Wren for over a year since his last recognition for that. In that time, he co-organized Vizsla’s third Great Hunt competition which drew in 18 unique competitors from the clan. He produced 4 reports in that time frame as well. As was expected of Vizsla leaders, he lead from the front and

Beyond his formal leadership roles, Warp has earned regular praise for his willingness to help anyone and everyone participate in gaming. This is perfectly illustrated from numbers for 2020, showing that he led the club in PvE/PvO events submitted with the second-most unique participants. That alone shows that he is willing to play with a wide swath of other players and that he volunteers to step up to submit the score screens.

Looking to the hard activity numbers, let’s be honest - there’s basically no one who can compete with this guy. 80 competitions participated, placing in 44 of those. Yup, better than a 50% placement rate. 4 of those were Gold Novae along with a Bronze Nova! That also includes a 4th place overall in GJW XIV with 100% event completion.

As already alluded to, he participated in almost 270 gaming activities, earning 2769 Clusters of Earth, 782 Clusters of Fire, and 12 Pendants of Blood! Not just a man of action, he also completed 8 fiction activities and another 4 run-on posts for nearly 5,500 words of fiction and 15 Clusters of Ice. Add in as well another 27 Clusters of Graphite and you have a well-rounded participant. He also flexed his academic muscles, completing 11 courses too.

As such, I would like to present a Sapphire Blade to Warp for his efforts for the past year and a bit!
