Tarentum has a solid core of experienced and incredibly capable Elders and senior Equites, but truly the most important group are our Journeymen. After all, without the new blood coming in, we'd grow stagnant and eventually die - we know, because we almost did. It stands to reason, then, that the position of Clan Rollmaster (tasked with overseeing the Journeymen) is one of particular importance. Luckily in Frosty we have that competent person. For the past six months, every new Journeyman to our Clan has been met with an enthusiastic and heartfelt greeting within hours of joining, and each very quickly understands they have someone dedicated to them and their needs. He keeps both the rest of the Summit as well as the entirety of Tarentum aware of what's going on and uses his reports - four so far under his tenure - to not only educate and motivate but also entice into activity with interesting puzzles in each. Under his leadership, we've seen three students reach their Knighthood and all together, he oversees and stays in regular communication with our eighteen Journeymen (not including our Knights) and eight Masters. Frosty also serves as an invaluable counselor to Beef and I in Clan-level discussions and decisions; to me, Rollmaster shouldn't be considered a second-class leadership position, and I always try to treat Frosty accordingly. Tarentum is a better place for it.
What makes Frosty even more worthy of recognition for his efforts is the fact that he's a truly "lead from the front" kind of person: since his last merit medal, he's received thirteen Crescents of various degrees for his participation in thirty-five competitions; he's also organized seven competitions on his own and co-organized another twelve. Besides being a gaming juggernaut (46 PvP matches for 225 CFs and 30 PvE activities for 95 CEs), he's also branched out to try his hand at writing and earned himself a CI in the process.
I truly could not ask for a better Rollmaster - capable in his own right while serving as an excellent role model for the Journeymen under his command - than I have in Frosty. I hope this Grand Cross shows you how much your work is appreciated.

- Additional reasons
-
Frosty has always been a powerhouse in Tarentum for gaming, but in his current stint as Rollmaster he has really shone as a leader as well. He leads by example; he still games and is participating in the Grand Master's ACC tournament. He stays in regular contact with Journeymen and is a constant presence on Telegram. Frosty has put a lot of time and effort into being Rollmaster and helping to build Tarentum up. He is a huge part of the reason we're at 40+ members instead of 20+ today, and that our members are happy and sticking around. Tarentum Momentum is surging us forward today, and we largely have Frosty to thank for it. He very much deserves recognition for his time, effort and skill. Keep up the good work, Brother!

Frosty is an ongoing contributing member of Clan Tarentum. He is consistent with keeping the rolls of Tarentum in order and in check. He always has his reports out on time, and always has something unique about them that keeps the report interesting, for example, running a competition within his reports. Frosty does an outstanding job of finding new recruits new masters, and making sure things between master and apprentice are going well. Frosty is a very active member of Clan Tarentum, always finding ways to be active whether playing in the Old Republic, or creating competitions. It’s not easy for Frosty to be with us all of the time, as his time zone is on the other side of the world, but when Frosty can, you can expect him to be there on the front lines. I have known Frosty ever since he has joined the Brotherhood, and Clan Tarentum, and he has surpassed me in in countless ways. He is a superior leader, and a superior comrade that I am proud to call my friend. It discerns me that this is the second time I have seen a request for Frosty to earn a medal be denied. We’re not asking for a promotion here, but a simple medal to show Frosty our appreciation. We in Tarentum do not just go around handing out medals and promotions willy nilly, we give them out when we know our team members have achieved well beyond the goals set before them, and to those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Frosty has gone well above and beyond the call of duty. Frosty is more than deserving to have this Steel Cross. Frosty you have earned it, and I will always have your back!
