Primary reason

I’ve basically run out of nice things to say about Shadow, aka Aidan Kincaid. The guy is basically unchallenged in his reign as the Brotherhood’s absolute best writer. He has off days, and still knocks something out of the park that is light years beyond his competitors. In all of this, he continues to basically just kick ass all day long, for fun, and carry on like it’s nobody’s business. In a world where he’s basically done just about everything that can be expected of him, he just keeps doing more crap.

Shad had a disappointing GJW. Now, let me frame that: Shad had a disappointing GJW because he only won 1 GN, placed top 10 in a few other things, and ONLY participated in 6 out of 11 events. He only participated in over half them, and oh, wait, what’s that? Yeah, every event except 2nd round puzzle that he did participate in, he placed top 10 in. I’m almost sick of how good this guy is at everything he does.

Since Shad’s last award, he’s also managed to be named the first hero of Fading Light, won another GN, and a couple Bronze Novas, won 6 crescents, 400+ CFs, 6 PoBs and any other amount of sundry awards. Shad is awesome, and I hate him. Congrats on this Grand Cross, whore.

Additional reasons

Shad. Thrust? But seriously - Shad (aka: his fake name Aidan Kincaid) is a be-damnedable machine of Taldryan, and I'd wager he is in the top 3 of the most talented members in this club. His raw talents can be identified by the sheer number of medals he's raked up since his last Grand Cross in August: a Gold Nova, two Bronze Novae, six crescents, six Pendants of Blood, 473 Clusters of Fire, 19 Clusters of Ice, a Dark Side Scroll and a Seal of Loyalty. Just so we are clear? Those novae? Those are not from Great Jedi War 11, those are from before - from Fading Light in 2014. In addition, Shad has participated in 11 competitions (excluding GJW 11) - meaning he's batting an absurdly high percentage of placement versus participation (it's something like 50%). Now, when we go into Shad's GJW participation and placement? He racks up even more medals, as you can see from the Proconsul's recommendation. Given Shad's massive efforts, and his successes, he should be awarded a Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Again. Go Shad!
