Wally is a member that seems to find the word retirement an insult or maybe a challenge. Probably a challenge. When I joined the brotherhood, he was my Battleteam Leader. As I moved up, he went off to go help found the Exarch society and then later run it himself, while never losing his status as a powerhouse of activity. All while having been in so many positions in the club historically it's ridiculous. This will be his fifth purple stabby.

To this day, Wally is a well of information, advice and a safe space to scream into. He supported myself and Arcona as a whole this January, both in comforting, soundboarding and serious commentary on how to handle the times. This has been through both Brotherhood channels as well as through dms and hasn't stopped. He also continued to invest in Arcona's story line, proposing ideas to me and Zuji recently to help buff out smaller details of lore and give our members more to chew on. This is hours of his time dedicated to the very being of the clan itself.

And, gathering numbers, this has all been while: Participating in 27 competitions, earning 2 Crescents with Sapphire Stars, 2 with Emerald and funky Topaz. He has also completed an ACC battle, 1 regular fiction activity, participated in 5 roleplays and mastered 4 for a total of 82 Clusters of Ice. 3 News posts, 2 Clusters of Graphite, a Dark Side Scroll, 2 Scrolls of Foundation and 23 Seals of Transcendence. Y'know, casually. All while being the Exarch and a Magistrate to the Grand Master. Obligatory nerd call out here.

It feels good to get to write you a recommendation this time Wally, and I can't wait until I inevitably need to do so again. Give this one to Zig for me so she and Zuza can match!

Wally, without hesitation, has been very helpful when I took the position as QUA.

He spent a few hours out of his time during the day to share a screen with me and showed me the ways of wikipedia before the changes arrive. Much to our amusement, they had arrived three days after Wally taught me.

Recently, I had to step away for a bit and without even needing to ask or beg, Wally helped by pulling three shy Qel-Droma members into a rp that's been ongoing since January. He also made sure they are getting opportunity in the same roleplay. Last I checked in, they were enjoying themselves and I thank Wally for massively helping me out. He deserves that Ruby Scepter! Well done!
