Ah Dek, the old standard of CSP who, due to real-life teaching responsibilities, has flexed in an out of his ability to participate yet he's been steady throughout and appears to be on the upswing again. Looking back on Dek he's accumulated 3 years of time as a Professor, and nearly 2 years on a Summit.

There's a significant number of members who have been influenced by Dek given the 101 courses he's graded since his last promotion.

From my perspective when I returned to CSP, Dek was my QUA and as I rose into PCON and CON I appreciated the attention to lore that Dek has. Specifically being the primary keeper of the Dark Times Saga arc that spanned several years. The details of the governments and players was something you might expect to find in a GRR Martin novel and showed me the level of detail needed for me to create to drive clan fictions at that level.

Dek was an excellent balancer for me and paired well with Reiden to ensure that good ideas weren't raced forward simply because they were good at face value. There's an art to challenging and looking at the member perspective of how they'd react that allowed us to elevate our ideas from good to great. Dek was never afraid to take a position that challenged what we were doing if he couldn't pass the "red face test" as to why we'd do it.

As much as I would have loved to see Caliburnus as Indy Jones and HAD as Marcus Brody, Dek was right. Not many others would have and the revised lore and return of the houses works better for a broader audience.
