Appius has been a whirlwind of activity since his promotion to EQ3, organizing 55 competitions and participating in 135 of them and picking up two dozen crescents. He has also been an absolutely prolific writer, churning out 62,000 words for fiction comps (including three SNs for GJW fiction comps and a GN for the clan run-on) plus another nearly 29,000 words in Discord-based RP sessions. All of that writing earned him a truly impressive 235 CIs, but he also managed to find time to pick up 97 CGs from graphics competitions and 25 Seals of Ascension (and placing 11th overall in the vendetta). In short, this guy is one of our most active leaders.

His work as Consul has been similarly impressive. Under his leadership, Taldryan secured Third Clan of the Brotherhood after an extremely close fight for 2nd place, and the clan's success is due in large part to Appius' hard work organizing and encouraging his members. Prior to the vendetta, he also co-organized a very successful 21-comp inter-clan event with CSP: The Great Ewok Hunt, which drew strong participation from both clans.

Congratulations on the new stabby, Appius!

Appius Zappius Anderppius Wightanderson...wait, that's not right...

Despite everything you have faced and endured throughout this year, you have continued to be a beacon of light within Taldryan since your return. You have been hosting an insane amount of competitions (and participating in just as equally as many if not more), driving activity not just for us; but for the Brotherhood at large. Even while you were in the rogues, you still continued to push onward; as I saw myself with the Mario Kart competition series that I hosted.

When it came time for the Pro Bowl, you did not disappoint either; with significant contributions across the board you struck like the thunder we've always known you to be. Just as similar with the Great Jedi War, participating in 25 different competitions and bringing home two Gold Novae, a Bronze Novae, 16 Clusters of Graphite, 10 Clusters of Ice, and an Amethyst, Quartz, and Sapphite Star Crescent!

It is because of your consistent hard work and ever diligent efforts that I am proud, and honored, to award you this Amethyst Kukri on behalf of Taldryan.

Congratulations, App....err...Andersy. Yeah. Andersy.

Appyson, my treasured Pecan.

As ever has been the case, you are a powerhouse that deserves no introduction; as you make it known you are wherever you are. Even to the detriment of missions when we are trying to be undercover and blend in, you burst into the room with the loud cacophony of "HAVE NO FEAR! ANDERS IS HERE!". At which point, it turns from an undercover op into a survival and extraction op.

And yet, there isn't a single quarter where you haven't yet again proven that despite the above, you are still a valuable part of Clan Taldryan. Constantly active and driven in discord, earning unparalleled amounts of XP, insisting to help me with awards, even going above and beyond and taking the reigns on administrative duties, campaign organization with my two Magistrates, and much more in the several weeks where I was recovering from surgery. You are the epitome of what it means to be a Pecan, and I'm honored to have you on my right.

Because of your efforts, and always making sure your presence is both felt and seen within Discord and everywhere you go, I am proud to award you this Amethyst Kukri. Again. And, most likely by next quarter, yet again if trends continue. Just please don't even think about going after an RS-level of XP again. Writing that one up would be difficult, and Howie would give me a death stare. But, knowing you? You could do it.

Though when it comes to Amethyst Kukri's, I swear you want to collect these things. You wanting to make an Amethyst Throne version of the Iron Throne or something? Just don't try and overthrow Bubba if you do. I like our home in Caelus and prefer to keep it for a while at least.

Congrats Pecan!
