Leadership takes a variety of different paths and appears in a variety of different ways. Not everyone gets to that end-state via the Consul or Proconsul positions. Talon, since his return, has functioned strongly as an informal leader. Most recently as the Scholae Palatinae team captain for the FrogDogs.

Talon stepped out of his comfort zone to lead the Frogdog draft process and encourage the FrogDogs on their advancement; keeping a very close race with the Rotworms. I also encourage Turel to share his feedback on Talon's leadership and engagement with the broader DJB through the Fist office.

He's continued his engagement through the clan and Fist office this past quarter with participation in numerous competitions and Sithmas.

Let it not be said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Since joining the Fist staff in July Talon has been a force to be reckoned with and an invaluable member of the staff. He immediately seized the initiative and created guides for Casual gaming queue, the Discord Party tool, and a new player guide for the Star Wars CCG. Talon also overhauled the How to Submit Scores page. Speaking of SW:CCG, Talon spearheaded the playtesting and evaluation of SW:CCG as a platform taking the time to create beginner-friendly decks and teach members how to play in one-on-one discord sessions. While SW:CCG hasn’t quite taken off yet as a platform like I would have hoped that in no way diminishes the work Talon put into creating this opportunity for our member base.

Since joining the Fist staff Talon has tore up the queue approving 240 matches for 70 unique members in a timely and accurate fashion. Talon’s approvals account for roughly 40% of Fist office approvals during that same period, which is impressive considering there were four other staffers in the office doing approvals during that same period.

Talon’s experience, perspective as a returning member and dedication to the gaming community are tremendous assets to the Fist staff and I am thankful to have him. On behalf of the Fist staff and the gaming community as a whole, congratulations on this well-deserved promotion.
