Respectfully submitting Sapphire Blade for Dek. In my short time as Proconsul of CSP I have had the pleasure of working with Dek. I can honestly say, in my experience in the DJB I have NEVER seen the output, leadership, and devotion that Dek has to his House and Clan. Shadow has enumerated all the metrics for Dek, but that alone does not remotely indicate the quality of his efforts that are worthy of a Sapphire Blade.

Dek is THE driving force of CSP. Dek has laid out a method process for a full 6 month of events, competitions, fiction output, and plans for the House and Clan as a whole. This staggering undertaking is to be commended. Beyond this, Dek has a host of intiatives (redoing the Clan possessions, a full Wiki overhaul, and recruitment drive). The sheer planning and leadership provided by Dek is a driving force for keeping CSP operational and thriving.

The dedication Dek employs via Telegram, email, and sharing the load for Shadow during a VERY trying time for CSP cannot be expressed by sheer metrics alone. For the individual performance, leadership, planning and vision Dek must be commended and it is only fitting of a Sacramental award such as the Sapphire Blade. Dek follows in the GREATEST tradition and spirit of the DJB and it is Dek who is a leading force for the viability of the Clan and DJB as a whole.

On the Wiki front, Dek has created a new, consolidated and standardized format for ALL CSP pages going forward. This is no easy task, considering the volume of Wiki pages that needed to be scrubbed, streamlined, and in many cases deactivated. Likewise, Dek put together a proposal to start a complete overhaul of CSP's Wiki presence, starting from the ground up at what we are calling "Year 0". Dek has established a team, set agendas, and put forth a timeline and vision for the CSP Wiki in such a structured and defined manner it is unlike anything I have ever seen in the DJB. Bottom Line: Such detail, planning, foresight, and implementation are VERY rare within the organization - even for positions with a full time support staff. This is just Dek, taking it upon himself to better the Clan in impressive ways.

Beyond this, truly humbly, I must say I have NEVER seen the activity planning, fiction updates, and overall strategic planning Dek has created for his House and the Clan as a whole. Specifically, Dek put together a project management scheme for a full 6 month calendar of events, comps, news, and fiction roll outs for us. What does this entail? It entails 9 fictional roll outs, each with their own event slates of multiple competitions. Specifically, 45 competitions have been planned and are ready to be implemented, overarching storylines drafted, and considerable buy-in and feedback solicited with Clan leadership. I have simply never seen anything like this and I doubt anyone else has either - if the entire Clan leadership goes down today we still have a FULL 6 month slate of activity to implement that in terms of sheer volume most Clans would find ambitious to roll out in a full year if not more.

Dek IS the goods. He IS the future of CSP and the DJB in general. I look forward to working for him one day, and humbly yet most strongly recommend this Sapphire Blade as the very least we can offer such a deserving member.
