Trouty has nothing to prove to anyone. A DJM's rank speaks for itself, but Trouty still shows up everyday for work; he is dedicated, committed, and a loyal member of the Clan. He is always offering words of fishy wisdom, and always willing to help out with anything if asked. He provides a positive roll-model of how Elders in this club should conduct themselves, and what members should strive to be. Having him around just makes me feel more comfortable as not just a leader, but someone who is part of this club. His sense of humor helps keep us light when things can get a bit dark. I know that Medals at this point his career don't mean much, so instead I'll just say something simply: Thank you Trouty. Thank you for being awesome, Arcona is a better place with you in it :).

I am honoured to be recommending Troutrooper for this Grand Cross of the Dark Side. He has been an all round heavy hitter inside of Clan Arcona and House Galeres. He helped Arcona with their overall participation score this round and ending up dominating on Bhargebba. During this round of Dark Crusade he has participated in the following competitions: Chronicle 1, High Value Targets, The Battle for Bhargebba, The Plans, One Ending, One Beginning (Gold Nova) , The Pursuit of Knowledge. He managed to take a Bronze Nova in High Value Targets as well as achieving a Gold Nova for the work he managed to accomplish in the wiki area. This helped Arcona gain an extra slot in the Special Forces Team. On top of all of this he has managed to to enter the following House Wide event competitions: [Homecoming] Graphics, [Homecoming] Codebreaker, [Homecoming] The Death Walkers, [Homecoming] Caption Competition, [Homecoming] Run-On. For all of these events he continues to get involved in the heavy workload of day to day activity inside of the House. Overall he has managed to participate in an impressive eleven competitions as well as placing in multiple events. Congratulations on this medal, Troutrooper, and I hope that you continue your hard work in the future.

I’m thrilled to have this chance to give Trouty some of the accolades he deserves. Trouty is not only a cornerstone contributor to Arcona’s writing ability, but also an inspiration to everyone in his Clan and the club. He lets his actions speak for him, always competing, replying to emails, and putting excellent effort into all his pieces. He constantly encourages members to strive for their goals and to be proud of what they earn with their actions. For me, personally,Trouty is a paragon, and I aspire to be the writer and asset to Arcona that he is. Congratulations on the Grand Cross, Fishy. It’s one of many medals, but it’s well-merited.
