Primary reason: Howlader was one of the applicants during my initial Praetor search, and while I ultimately select Evant I also knew Howie’s experience and wisdom were not things to brush aside. He had, after all, already served as P:MAA before! So I tweaked the system and arranged for a Special Magistrate, an advisor of sorts with specific instructions not to process requests (because I wanted my Magistrate to learn how to do these things). Instead, he helped guide discussions. He helped answer questions. After a time he helped correct backend mistakes with competitions. He also helped returning members restore dossier medals and accomplishments.

Howie is also Howie, and pretty much everyone knows what that means: no nonsense, tell it straight, not afraid to let you have it. He’s seen it all before. He’s one of those single digit dossier types. And he has not agreed with all of my MAA ideas. I specifically wanted Magistrates to process requests, not he. He presented potential issues, but went along for the ride. He’s never liked MAA competitions (not that there are many), but all the same helps us select golden recommendations. Sometimes we discuss things in way too much detail, but he also helps bounce ideas around or provides much needed “how does this compare to previous MAA” feedback.

I consider my staff to be the absolute fundamental reason why the MAA Office succeeds. They are awesome, and from August 2014 to June 2015 Howie served an integral part of that staff. Nearly every Equite and Elder promotion, every sacramental award, and most everything else involved discussion. Sometimes everyone walks away agreeing; sometimes the room is divided, but Howie always keeps pushing forward (all while achieving leadership milestones in Taldryan, I will add). He served perfectly in his made up Special Magistrate position, and I want to recognize these feats as he now moves on to real responsibilities as Praetor. Thank you, Howie, for all your hard work and tireless ranting. — Aabsdu Dupar, Master at Arms

Additional reasons: Through the few months I have worked with the Panda, he has truly taught Kord and I a lot. As many have said, Howie doesn't beat around the bush. Some might find this harsh, but for the few people who have worked along side him, we know it the way of the Panda. Howie has been around this club longer than some members have been alive. I haven't witnessed many members as dedicated to this club, it's values, and further growth as Howie shows on a daily basis. It takes a passionate member to stay around and do all that Howie continues to do for the advancement of our online world. I know I don't have to say it, but keep doing great things for this club as we do appreciate your guidance and efforts.

For 10 straight months, with only a few leaves from his duty, Howie consistently dedicated himself to his position as Special Magistrate to the Master at Arms. To say he was in charge of yelling, is both true, and also a bit of an oversimplification of the services he provided to the team. He brought years of experience and a well reasoned albeit noisy point of view to a countless number of debates and discussions, and while I'll be the first to admit a recommendation always reads better with something quantifiable, in this case I think it was actually too many debates and discussions to be counted. He in many cases took the opposing view against the entire team, quite often things wouldn't go his way, but he was passionate about his stance and we all continued to grow as a team as we digested all the reasons we were wrong time and time again. All this showed a great dedication to his position.

Everything above is great to show all the stuff that Howie did, which is a lot of it, but it was his influence and impact on the entire Master at Arms team, including myself and now second set of Magistrates, that makes me feel nothing short of a sacramental award would do to award him for his service. As the two of us would go back and forth in emails, he really elevated my own personal knowledge of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood way of rewards and systems in general. Congratulations on your Sapphire Blade Howie, and look forward to more yelling. Beer is on me!

Howie has been a great source of information these past few months, as well as reinforcement. He’s never been one to mince words, what you need to know he tells you in plain and unconfusing terms. Riding herd on both Landon and myself, he’s been there to answer questions and to prod us into doing whatever is on the table at the time despite our own feelings of caution and indecision, assuring us of what we’re doing. He’s done a great job helping Aabs teach us the job, and has been a huge value to the MAA office as a whole.
