These past couple months it’s been quite a privilege to have Brimstone on my battleteam. Despite not having proper access to the internet, doing most of his DB A Brimstone submitted to 11 events during the Independence Games. He placed in four of those events, taking home two fourth place finishes, a third place finish, and a victory in the “Earthly Exchange” competition. On top of that, he received a sapphire crescent for taking second place in the “March Madness” competition just before the IGs started. Brimstone has also been a fixture on Plagueis e-mail list, encouraging others to participate. Because of all this, I feel Brimstone has more than earned this Steel Cross.

Congratulations man, just don’t make me try to say your full name =).

Brimstone and I, admittedly, have a bit of a rocky history. Our working relationship in Tarentum back in the day was pretty lousy, and it ultimately ended up sour between Brimstone and Tarentum. We didn’t see him for quite some time, up until he decided to transfer to Plagueis.

As you can see from my Rollmaster’s recommendation, Brimstone has done an excellent amount of work in competitions. I would like to add that his participation in Chapter II of Phase I of the Dark Crusade was spectacular, as he submitted to 4 out of 5 events. His RO involvement was phenomenal, as he has always harbored an immense enthusiasm for storytelling. As stated, in the IGs, he placed in 4 out of 11 events, becoming one of the top Plagueian participants. His work included fiction, trivia, and other miscellaneous submissions.

This may seem really blasé to some people. Like, “Oh, gee, he submitted to competitions. Whoop-dee-freaking-doo. What, you want a medal?”

Um. Yes. We do want a medal for Brimstone. We want a Steel Cross for Brimstone. Because believe it or not, he did all of those competitions - all of his hard, strenuous work in both the Crusade and the IGs - on his cellphone.

Let me reiterate that: ON. HIS. CELLPHONE.

Brimstone has not just raised the bar for participants in every vendetta and competition - he’s obliterated it. Now tons of excuses for not participating in events have been tossed in the bin - because Brimstone did it all on his phone. That is absolutely astounding, and it really emphasizes the amount of awesome energy that this guy has for his unit.

Maybe it’s because he’s gung-ho. Maybe it’s because he’s stubborn. Maybe it’s because, as we sometimes joke, he’s Chiss. But one thing’s for sure - Brimstone’s drive, skill, and fortitude have more than merited this award.
