Recommendation:

It is my privledge to recommend this Sapphire Blade for Augur Reiden Palpatine Karr. Beyond the metrics, which I'll highlight below, he is a constant presence throughout the DJB. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't see Reiden speaking up in each of the clan chats, sharing insights, helping new members, and building a stronger community.

Within Scholae Palatinae he's a joyful individual who knows everyone, engages easily with each member, and encourages activities. His informal title as Puzzle Master is well earned with numerous 1st place finishes.

As an advisor to me he artfully balances raising counter points to validate we're making the right decision and that we're putting our membership first with each action we choose to take. I wouldn't be as balanced as a leader without his consultation.

Further, I'm surprised that Reiden has not yet received a Sacramental award given his 13 years with the club and his continued contributions and engagement.

Reiden Karr is a beastmode Magistrate. Of all the staff members I’ve worked with over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone come close to his absolute dedication to getting his job done. I’m talking like within a minute of things hitting our queue, he has it handled. This has been a massive boon to my own workload, as Reiden already has razor-sharp analysis of any pending sheets queued up for discussion before I even have the site open to look for myself.

Since joining the staff Reiden has been responsible for approving 285 sheets manually (roughly 38% of all manual sheets approved in this time frame). He has been responsible for a further 76 remands, excellently prepared with clear instructions and a professional tone. To say this is an impressive amount of sheet management would be an understatement. Even when not directly taking the primary position on processing a sheet, he provides much-needed rational insight to all the other sheets we discuss as a team.

His aid isn’t limited to just the queues either. A vast majority of the time Reiden is actively answering fiction and sheet-related questions both within our #fiction-chat and the various clan chats. He is so responsive to these and so quick to pick up on them happening that I only catch them well after the fact an answer has already been given.

Project wise Reiden has a brilliant eye for errors and was a massive help in finalizing the feats project, and in catching inconsistencies and mistakes.

Congrats Reiden, and thank you so much for your continued efforts.

Reiden is a boss. In fact, I think at one point he went by Boss Reiden Palpatine Karr, Boss. He gets to put boss in there twice, that's how much of a boss he is.

Since his last medal, Reiden has participated in 30 competitions, earned a pair of Novae, and participated in a run on. He's got XP for days and has earned this medal based on those numbers alone. I was particularly pleased to see Reiden step out of his comfort zone and get involved in RPs. In our last clan RP he contributed over 2500 words. It's great to see a member who has been around for a long time try some of these new fandangled opportunities.

Reiden, congratulations on this Sapphire Blade. You've earned it. Keep up the great work, keep on exploring new options, and enjoy the cash that comes with it.

Reiden Karr, aka the Puzzle King, aka the Queueueueue Master, is in desperate need of correction on his non-site tracked XP. I did a screw up and didn’t realize that his last several major awards (despite having me write reccs) didn’t include points for his non-site work. So let me rewind the clock a bit to the launch of the XP and the important stuff Reiden has done over the last year(ish).

Over the last year there has been 1106 non-auto character sheet approvals. Of those Reiden has covered some 60.3% (668) of them, most within minutes of hitting the queue. (I don’t have a metric/ability to track time in queue to give average time there, so you are just going to have to take my word on it being that fast. It is incredibly difficult to see the alert pop up in voice-staff and get to the site before Reiden has already handled it.)

In addition to that I have counted 173 fantastic remands to character sheets handled by Reiden over this time period. Even in the instances where he is not the one writing the remand, he is nearly always the first to put comments in the thread about issues in our threads about the sheets that come through.

Reiden is also incredibly detailed oriented, frequently going through our feats and skills to make sure when there are major changes, everything gets caught. This includes the recent Charisma skill changes where there were multiple feats related to species and disciplines that didn’t have the wording corrected to the new skill terms. With hundreds of feats in our system, this is no easy task to catch the ones that have been missed.

Reiden has also been documenting many of the CS changes, and taking notes on common issues seen. These have been pushed out in some excellent reports.

Reiden, I can’t apologize enough on the fubar here. Congrats on the new drop of XP and stabby, and I look forward to more correctly rewarding you going forward.
