Yacks is about as old as elders can get in this club, with a dossier over a quarter of a century old. Although he's retired now, his imprint on this club is strong: he played a leading role in developing the possessions system and served on the inaugural Regent staff as Special Magistrate, a job he held for three years as he helped to steer possessions from concept to a firmly entrenched feature of this club. He was our first Justicar, held every leadership position from BTL through CON and Sith High Warrior, and is one of just four non-GM recipients of the GLS. On a personal note, I always appreciated Yacks' grumpy advice and suggestions during my time as Headmaster. Congrats!

Yacko. Take your promotion and you will god damn like it.

So here's the thing about Yacks. Despite all his protestations, and his yelling, and his general bastardy? He actually does care. He cares about doing what's right, and what's good - and then he does it. I have a pretty solid (and well-earned) reputation for yelling, and where exactly do you think I learned to yell at Grand Masters when they're being idiots? Yacks.

His promotion in 2015 to DJP goes into more explicit detail on his hard work and contributions in the past several decades, but suffice to say - his contributions have formed many of the structures and dare I say attitudes that the Brotherhood continues to function on this day. Hell, the XP system? That is promoting him today? He was in the room when it was conceived many years ago - and the ultimate form it took? Resembles very closely to what we discussed about recognizing our members with rank promotions.

For your instruction, and your unintended (or maybe intended?) contributions to how our Space Wizard Club works, you are promoted again. Jackass.

Four-score and umpteen years ago, I first interacted with Yacks as a lowly little Sith. And although I clearly surpassed his as the mightiest of old-school Sith (especially since he can't rebuttal), it doesn't mean he doesn't deserve this promotion.

Yacks has been many of the things in this club, including Chief Law Guy, but there's a whole slew of projects that has his fingerprints all over them. Yacks has be there for the initial concepts for the current Character sheet and the XP system, amongst other things. He always makes sure that any new system or idea makes sense and is actually fair for everyone.

I'm sure I'll be hearing from him about this, but too bad. You will be promoted and you will like it! Now go bask in your internet glory.

Yacks. All the existing recommendations already cover all he's contributed and done. His accomplishments are such that in a world where new ranks exist to convey these accomplishments, a promotion is warranted to keep alignment. Way to stay aligned my friend. This is the way.
