Grot, the lesser of my two murderlizards (a title lost recently in a fictional fight with a krayt, but I digress) has been a busy bee… reptile… individual! First, let’s crunch some numbers.

Since his promotion last March, he’s organized 8 competitions and competed in 73; that’s roughly 6 competitions participated per month. Of those he’s place in 42, over half of his participations! To get there, he’s done 25 PvP matches, 56 PvE activities, and I won’t even touch his ACC stuff because that’s someone else’s schtick, but suffice to say: he’s done a bit.

Let’s talk specifics for those awards now. He’s got a Steel Cross for his efforts, amongst all the other shinies, which include 5 Seals of Fury for his participation in the last GJW. Crescents include 7 Diamond, 13 Ruby, 11 Amethyst, 6 Sapphire, and 5 Emerald. These go nicely with his 12 Pendants of Blood, 259 Clusters of Fire, and 625 Clusters of Earth. Helluva gamer this one. He’s fortunately well-rounded too, coming in with 19 Clusters of Ice and 24 of Graphite to boot. He’s also a recruiter, judging by his 3 Scrolls of Foundation, and he’s got a Seal of Loyalty and a Legion of the Scholar to top it all off.

Grot is also a regular and constant presence in Arcona in general, and within House Galeres on the whole. Telegram is replete with his conversations. I hear he’s active in Fiction Chat (I’m not in there, but I drink and I know things), and his voice at least daily pops into our Clan and subordinate unit chats. Sometimes it focuses solely on Warhammer 40k, but hey, it’s all about the fun times.

All in all, Grot has shown a lot of gusto, and somewhere deep in his scaly belly, he has a lot more waiting to burst out like some copyrighted extraterrestrial parasite-babeh. For both his accomplishments and those yet to come, I believe he is deserving of being elevated to the rank of Equite 2.

I didn't get much of a chance to work with Grot prior to becoming CM, but in the last few months he quickly proved himself to be one of the most thoughtful and insightful judges on staff. I've come to rely on his keen eye and expertise, both as a primary judge and a reviewer.

Since his last promotion, Grot has been the primary judge on 14 matches. This is a substantial time commitment, with each match taking in the range of two uninterrupted hours of work. In addition, he's repeatedly weighed in as a second reviewer on judgments by both his fellow judges, and me. Specifically, Grot stepped up when I needed him most and served as the lead judge for 4 of the 11 championship bracket judges that finished up while I was out of the country with limited computer access, and weighed in on most of the other bracket matches. I had been expecting to come back to a backlog, but thanks in large part to Grot I've been able to focus on other projects instead.

In summary, he's been an excellent and hard-working judge for his entire tenure, and I'm delighted to have a part in advancing him to the next stage of his DB career. Congrats, Murder Lizard.
