Aiden's work is far from limited to his activity in the Herald's office. He remains a bright, active member of Arcona, offering help and advice and being available for when it's needed. Just recently, I released the return of the monthly credit allowance for the Houses. There was around a 2 year gap since the last one had been performed and the number lost in a report back then presumedly. Awarding the houses their missed cash, as well as having the structure from before to continue the credit pull was only really doable thanks to Aiden retrieving the spreadsheet for us and training me on how to use it. It was only a few hours of effort total but it was one that allows our Houses to progress toward goals in a fresh way for many of our newer members. He's an active voice to us all and I can't speak to how reliable, kind and industrious he is.

He's also been a busy bee on the site with, drumroll...

355 competitions participated in since March, only 53 of which containers, collecting himself a total 285 Crescents, 94 of Diamond Star, 74 Ruby, 62 Amethyst, 27 Sapphire, 18 Emerald, 10 Topaz and 2 Quartz. He's also earned 114 Clusters of Graphite, 25 Clusters of Ice from 10 Fiction activities, 50 Clusters of Fire from 12 gaming activities, 1 Dark Side Scroll, 1 Seal of Loyalty and 14 Scrolls of Foundation. This is probably something to do with the *54 * SA courses he's graded, passing one himself during this time.

Aiden has also hit the ACC, finishing a battle of his own with 2320 words as well as judging 3 others. In total, he's earned 3,101,260 credits for Clan Arcona.

As I stated above though, these numbers are nothing in comparison to who Aiden is and what he pushes himself to do beyond site metrics. It's a pleasure to see him set his mind to something, and all I can say is thank you. Keep being you, and enjoy the newest stabby for your collection. It's more than earned.

For a long time, I was fidgeting with the idea of asking Aiden for a help with an item that I wanted to incorporate into a roleplay I would like to DM. I am a very visual person and wanted to have an item to enjoy, have the players be excited about it, and add it to the wikipedia when the mission is over.

Aiden did not hesitate and immediately went to work, showing me sketches along the way! I wanted a simple music box but this man right here, went above and beyond by adding Sith Runes, Sith Symbols, and Writings! I really cannot wait to get better so I can have it in a roleplay and finally show it off like it deserves to be!

Thank you so much Aiden for making an item for a roleplay. Doesn't seem like much to others, but it's a huge deal for a visual person like me.
