“Consistency is far better than rare moments of greatness.” Mac is one member in Arcona who is consistently exceeding expectations. Mac provides consistent greatness to the entire clan's gaming efforts. Mac is someone who cares. Gamers who play with him come back time and time again. He is a rare breed when it comes to gaming: talented and selfless.

He’s simply one of the most caring people I know and is always willing to help everyone in any way he possibly can. Mac is always around to assist anyone reach their gaming goals. This isn’t just with members of Galeres, but each and every member of the Brotherhood who is introduced to him. His unwavering commitment to gaming astounds me.

Mac has been a great friend to me and become one of the members I trust most to help anyone when it comes to gaming. I’m pleased to see you progress. Congratulations!

Mac came in with a single reason: gaming. He liked the idea of helping many gamers, both adept and not, to reach the endgame areas and surpass them. Since his joining, he’s done just that. Many members in here know that when they ask me for help, they are usually getting Mac’s help too. I’d like to further expand on a few things Braecen mentions. “He is a major player in a non-DB Clan”. He is actually the leader of that Clan, and it is continually growing. What this means is not only is he playing with an original group of friends, but he’s (so far) doubled the group’s numbers as well as made the time to play with them all. When Braecen pointed out that his activity “demonstrates a member’s elevated focus to help others before themselves,” he is easily pointing out that Mac continually runs the raids, nightfalls, and story missions at no benefit to himself. For instance, running the recently released Heroic mode Wrath of the Machine raid (which takes an hour to two hours by itself) more than six times a week.

He may not be a writer or be one of the guys throwing his opinions all over Telegram, but he certainly has left his mark on many of the DJB’s gaming members. He has continually shown up in House, Clan, and DB-wide competitions, and is a never-ending fountain of activity. I’d like to thank him for all the hard work he’s put in, and also offer him congratulations on his promotion into the Equites. Well deserved, Mac!

It is a momentous day when a member moves from Knighthood to the first tier of the Equites. I have the privilege - today - to induct Mac to the rank of Equite I in House Galeres and Clan Arcona. Where he has demonstrated an uncanny ability to participate as a member and become a crucial cog in our Destiny community.

Since his last elevation, Mac has participated in 46 competitions, logged 358 PvE Activities, collected an Anteian Cross (exceptional activity), a Dark Cross (general activity), 23 Crescents (2 Cr-R, 14 Cr-A, 5 Cr-S, 2 Cr-E), 3120 Clusters of Fire, and 3091 Clusters of Earth. In addition, Mac is part of the most dominant Battleteam where they lean on him as a regular contributor. As a member of the Nighthawk, he offers assistance to any PlayStation gamer whether the game is sanctioned by the Brotherhood or not. While he is a major player in a non-DB Clan in Destiny, he still regularly plays (and helps) our DB members through numerous arenas, strikes, and raids. This willingness to always help out a friend is the true distinction between a member that is ranked JM4 and one that is EQ1; it demonstrates a member’s elevated focus to help others before themselves. And that is what it means to be an Equite in the Dark Brotherhood.

Thank you for your continued dominance in our Gaming Legion. You shine as an active, online presence and member of our House. I look forward to your continued rise through the ranks as you continue to wreck all the n00bs.
