Primary reason

Since his last recognition, Ira Ojiman—Donny—has done all the things. He has organized 25 competitions and co-organized an additional three. He has served on the summits of two clans and as Magistrate for the DGM (recognized previously with an SC) and the Regent. And he has participated in 228 competitions, assuming he doesn’t sneak in a few more while I’m writing this.

Donny is well known as a gamer, and for good reason. He has earned 1660 CEs, 762 CFs, 7 PoBs, and at least four GMRG leaderboard placements. However, he’s more than willing to engage in other aspects of the club. He’s earned two legions of the Scholar, 46 Clusters of Graphite, and 57 Clusters of Ice. He’s also completed 17 SA courses and earned two Maven and two Pundit degrees.

The Log has committed himself to excellence and taken home 44 crescents, including 6 Diamond Stars. During vendettas he is consistently reliable. For Arcona, he earned 30 seals and 4 novae from the last two Great Jedi Wars. If anything, he turned it up a notch after coming to Odan-Urr, where he participated in twenty out of twenty competitions in the COU-PLA feud, finishing in fourth place.

Most impressively, he settled immediately into a leadership role within the clan despite being a regular member on paper. Within days of joining the clan, Donny was marshaling his fellow Odanites for gaming nights and he was a major factor in reviving the very quiet house Telegram channel. He hosted a Saturday gaming day for eight other members shortly after joining and did more to hype participation in the feud than almost anyone else in the clan.

This award has been a long time coming, but it is very much deserved.

Additional reasons

During his time with Arcona, Ira proved to be one of our most active members. He was a regular mainstay for helping us in wars and proved to be a force to be reckoned with in Clan events. Since his last awarding he had racked up over 100 competitions, and even organized 7 of his own. He was also one of our leaders in gaming. Consistently he was pushing others in our Clan to embrace the gaming side of the club which Arcona has lacked.

On a personal note, Ira was a great friend to me and a true help during my time as a leader. He was a voice to come to whenever advice was needed, or even just someone who’d listen when I needed to talk. I am truly grateful for all the hard work he has done and I am glad he is finding such success in Odan Urr. Congratulations on your award Ira, it is deserved with your spectacular efforts.

Ira is a member of strong activity and drive. During my tenure as Regent, I had several magistrates that—for one reason or another—never completed a full term. Ira was not one of those. He came in with a clear goal of helping the staff and took to the tasks he was given. In terms of specifics, Ira was a "voice in the room" for many discussions regarding items and aspects, manning the queue to ensure timely approvals, and reviewing our Item Prototype lists prior to release. The major release he was involved in was Solo Resistance and More where he personally created and stocked 4 items into the system and stores respectively. What cannot be counted is the aforementioned review of the prototypes. There are many items that make it to release, and more that don't ever make it off the sheet.

I value the input Ira had while on staff, and I am thankful he served a complete term. Even after he has not been shy of asking questions or providing commentary on opportunities to provide further value to the club. Ira remains a strong presence, one that was felt in the activity numbers for Arcona and now Odan-Urr. I'm glad to see him recognized for those efforts.
