Primary reason: Over the course of the last nine months, Noobi oversaw (and heavily participated in) conceiving, testing, launching, and planning improvements for the largest expansion of the possessions system since its initial launch nearly a decade ago. He pitched the concept of Masterwork possessions--which eventually evolved into the broader concept of "crafting"--to me and Evant a couple of years ago and worked with a determination and focus I've rarely witnessed to iron out the details with his staff and James and to do the yeoman's work of filling out a massively complex spreadsheet workbook with many interconnecting parts--hundreds of individual prototypes including Corvettes and lightsabers. Again, not since the initial possessions project has the Regent's office had so many moving parts to evaluate, input, and balance.

After launch, Noobi started a survey to gather member feedback on the new system, with the goal of reducing friction and improving the member experience. With the help of his team, he created a plan to introduce some significant improvements to the crafting process, which he has left to his successor along with all of the work done on future expansions of the system.

Masterwork possessions are the culmination of his extremely productive term as Regent. He will be a tough act to follow, but he has left a model of hard work and forward thinking for others to emulate.

Additional reasons: Gosh, where do I begin?

Anubis has been a monumental influence on my DJB career. Almost 3 years ago Anubis took me on as his Praetor and showed me all the inner workings of the Possessions system. I would not be where I am now if it were not for his patience, guidance, and friendship. But more importantly, he’s had an immeasurably huge impact on the Brotherhood as a whole.

As his right hand, few people have more insight into the vastness of Anubis’ contributions to this organization. I had the pleasure of watching him work and can testify to the incredible amount of passion that he brought to the Regent’s Office. During our time working together Anubis was truly the heart and soul of our team. His decisiveness, vision, and overall leadership is the reason we accomplished as much as we did. We looked to him to guide us. He did. Without fail.

The amount of projects released during his tenure is absolutely insane and he was involved in every single one of them. Anubis inherited a long list of projects that needed to be completed, including Clan Artifacts, Weapon upgrades, Armor Upgrades, Planetary Assets, Creation of additional stores, Lightsabers and Crystal upgrades, multiple society revisits, DB fleet management, several years of Lifeday Celebartions, and so much more. Perhaps one of the biggest things he brought to the table was the Booster pack concept for item releases. Also, Anubis is the grand-pappy of the Crafting system, which will undoubtedly have a massive effect on the future of the Regents office. I could increase the list of his project based contributions ad infinitum. If I were to catalogue everything that he has done in the past three years, my recommendation might end up as long as his recommendations for his staffers!

That brings me to another point. The first person to celebrate his team members was Anubis. He always saw that we were duly rewarded for our efforts, never once begging for his own recognition. Though he is my junior by several years, I look up to Anubis for the attitude that he brings to leadership. I aspire to be more like him in many many ways.

Throughout his whole time as Regent one thing remained clear: Anubis is one of the single most dedicated, passionate, and hardworking members of this club. Anubis has always placed the DJB above himself in his vision, words, and actions.

I am so honored to have been a witness to watching Anubis work with such unbridled passion and singularly focused vision. Beyond that, I am honored to call him my friend. His dedication to his post is the Gold Standard against which all who follow him will be measured, including myself. Anubis, in a thousand tries I could never put to words what your contributions as Regent mean to this club and to me. Your legacy is one that will remain unmatched.

I can think of no person that is more fitting for such an award than you, my friend. Congratulations.
