With the advent of new ways of recommending medals in the Brotherhood, and the experience program, I am certain that there’s no lack of data to prove that Locke has earned this award. Yet still, being an older member, I feel obligated to talk about some of the things that Locke has done with his time thus far. And to properly acknowledge the things that he has not only done, but just is.
Sometimes, the best thing to be is present. And on that front, Locke never seems to waver. He’s been a constant since I’ve been paying attention in CNS, whether it be as a positioned member or not. He’s been there to cheer people on in chat, he’s been there to PM someone if they seem to be having an off day, he’s been there to help Get Things done behind the scenes. Need an extra set of eyes on something? Locke’s there. Want to bounce some ideas back and forth for a good clan plot or a personal story beat? Locke’s there. Need someone to pop off a quick post in a Clan RP to get the team’s juices flowing again? Locke’s there. He’s been a stalwart presence in the clan, and always is looking out for our members. In the end, that is really the sort of thing that keeps people coming back for more.
Recently, he’s returned to general membership after a long run as Quaestor. Even as he had pulled the trigger and recognized that it was his time to retire, he has still been invested enough to reach out on multiple occasions to myself and DarkHawk about the status of his possible replacements and the structure of the Clan going forward.
Locke, Thank you for all that you’ve done, and the things that I am sure you will continue to do. Enjoy this token of our esteem for you, you’ve more than earned it.
