Diyrian "Diy" Grivna

Event ID: 269655
Award: Ruby Scepter
Quantity: 1
Non-site XP: 7000 XP
Requested by: Envoy Zuza Lottson
Primary reason: Zuji, Diy, the Goat, Flyndt... A m'they'dy of many names, titles and abilities. I'm going to zip us through the statistics of Zuji's antics since their last award last November. In this time Zuji has participated in a whopping 172 competitions, only 34 of which were containers. They also organised 1 comp, and co-organised 10 with me for the Gods, We Dine in Brimstone event. This earned them 38 Crescents, 2 of Diamond, 7 Ruby, 11 Amethyst, 9 Sapphire, 5 Emerald, 3 Topaz and 1 Quartz. Zuji has also participated in 32 gaming activities, earning 203 clusters of fire, along side 34 clusters of graphite and another 32 Fiction activities. These include 7 typical fictions, 22 participant roleplays and 2 DM'ed sessions, all coming together for a total 83 Clusters of Ice for 48,406 words written just in the last 7 months. That's INSANE. Though of course it doesn't cover everything as Zuji hit up the Shadow Academy recently, passing 17 courses for 3 additional degrees with all of their effort combined leading to a rank up in both roleplay socieities, 1 in the Shroud and 1 more in the Collegium itself. This activity has earned 679,620 credits for Clan Arcona.

But to speak only on Zuji's abilities to make the site weep as they complete puzzles on their phone, would be to miss out on the most important aspects of them.

For the last four months Zuji has been my Proconsul. It was a difficult decision to make at the time and I'm sure there's a few people who were sick of hearing me pondering it by the time the decision was made. I made the right decision, and that is proven every single day. They are constantly on the ball helping with members, whether its in the server channels or in dms you can count on Zuji to be there. They have been the back bone of the successful Arc-Announcements channel and there's been more than one time where I've dropped news personally and still been beaten out on getting it in the channel before they do. Zuj has also been pushing for reminders of recent conversations in our summit channel and its been invaluable. Sometimes conversations are quite long and their effort to ensure that a TLDR with the prominent talking points highlighted is provided has been vital for the summit. All this while being on the front lines of encouragment, knowing the members well enough to know what to throw their way in a lovely tactical manner.

And this is just what can be seen in our channels. Only myself and Atty can attest to how important Zuji was to the running of the Gods event. They wrote a huge chunk of all the event fictions, being the live soundboard for all the ideas. Originally the event was supposed to be 3 more entire events, with Tiexsema coming to light later on in the series. Zuji was an integral part of the conversations that managed to not just compress the event into what it became, but making my haphazard display of ideas into a flowing narrative. While I made spreadsheets for grading, they worked on making a physical map with the locations of the event pinpointed and the environmental effects so the membership would have a better mental view of what they were facing.

Not that this even covers everything, even now we have nights where we spend hours discussing Arcona's fictional future and the angles we might take. What the future holds and the plans for it. They've been a huge support to me, directly as we've introduced new structural changes and how best to trial and implement them. They were there for me, the summit and the clan as a whole back in January. From proofreading my announcements to the clan, to helping settle my anxiety and that of others, while also actively stepping up to make sure the correct information was being shared, they were a huge part of why things went so smoothly. When it comes to reports, Zuji has been pulling the competition and news hauls without even being asked, and we've settled into a fairly even split with it just naturally. They're also consistently looking for ways to get others non-site xp, looking into others who might be able to do those sweeps and get experience in the formatting and process of report writing even before they're considering leadership.

More recently, Zuji has been on the lead for the Award Sweep this quarter. Real life has stolen some time from me and I've not been worried for a moment because I know that Zuji is not only able, but proactive and willing to step up and ensure that with my limited time we can get it done and make sure our members get the best we can give them. And not to make this too long, but their efforts haven't been restricted to just within Arcona. Zuji regularly interacts and encourages members outside of the clan, and even has been noted stepping up as player in a roleplay beyond expectations. To quote Anders:

"Diy here has been aiding me with Immortal Sith Part 2.5. Even as a participant, they kept up to speed with all the RP scores, hit points, and rolls, making life a lot easier for both myself as the DM and their fellow participants."

This RP went on for months and while I wasn't in it, I've been in the same series of rps for part 2 and 3 and witnessed the organisation, level-headedness, improvisation and overall awesomeness you need. It's hours of effort, dedicated note taking and clear, kind communication that they weren't even asked to do. They just stepped up to help and honestly that alone, is the makings of greatness in this club.

Zuji. I may have surpassed you in rank and become the master, but I won't ever pass you in the impact, dedication and love you have put into this community.

Additional reasons: Zujenia/Diy has been one of the most all-around reliable, wonderful people in this club since they joined. A constant source of inspiration and always fun to roleplay or write with. A good friend, a good writer, and a good clanmate, the Cake deserves this and so much more!

General Stres'tron'garmis, 2024-06-20 18:41:59 UTC

I've known Zuji for a while now, I think ever since I was a Knight, and not once has their bright and helpful personality shone through like a bright light in stormy weather.

I wanted to take the opportunity to expand on how Zuji helped me most recently. I know Zuza said a few words. Recently, I have been running a series of RP's called Immortal Sith where I refuse to make life easy for myself in various ways in regards to rules etc, member characters hit points, story beats etc etc.

This us where Zuji came in. They were a participant in Immortal Sith 2.5 and about half way through, keeping track of dice rolls, hit points, and the scores throughout the story was beginning to be a logistical nightmare of my own creation. Zuji stepped in and organised, unprompted, the dice rolls and hit points, regularly keeling myself, and her fellow participants, on track and up to date.

It might not sound like much, but honestly, the whole reason that RP finished as smooth as it did was thanks to Zuji. They pretty much became my unofficial Co-DM for no other reason than they wanted to help.

Zuji is legit a delight to be around, work with, chat with, laugh with. I highly recommend anyone who gets the opportunity to work with Zuji to just do it. You won't be disappointed. Congratulations on your green stabby!

My'they'dy, or Diy to the dossier, is a sir/they/goat of many talents, as many others here will tell you. I have extolled in the past of their reliability as one of our most levelheaded and critically kind members, the one that, if you disappointed them, you truly knew you were in the wrong. They are always as fair and just as possible, and take every concern as a summit member, advisor, member, and friend to care for and respect others, to help anyone, to provide information and organization and to recognize others. If someone is feeling unheard, unseen, unappreciated -- they will be the one to say I'm sorry, to say thank you, to show care. They make a deliberate effort to slow down and pay that attention and time and let people know they matter and they are important when they may be feeling their absolute weakest and smallest. I know in these last six months Zuji has been my hero to me so many times over. And the greatest part is they're there to do that for all others in the Brotherhood too.

I'm so grateful for you. We all are. Thank you.
