Regent might be the DC job bearing the greatest weight of expectation, not because it's unusually complex, time consuming, and member facing--which it absolutely is--but because our first two Regents went on to become JST, DGM (twice), and GM. That's a tough act to follow, but I don't think Noobi ever let it affect him. He came into the job eager to finish what Evant and Atra had begun and then to make his own mark on the role. For three years, until the pull of real life became too great to ignore, he never slowed down.

You can read through his reports and browse our stores if you want to see the possessions work that Noobi and his team have done over the years, but behind the scenes he brought just as much energy and focus to other tasks. He was a constant presence in DC discussions and would help his colleagues and those outside the DC with proposals, applications, etc. He has also been a mentor to many of our leaders, especially those from Tal. And he was so eager to help with vendetta comps that I had to kick him off of events because he wanted to do too much.

As Ood says in his rec below, Noobi has done a lot of growing in this club. I doubt the Noobi of 17 years ago could have accomplished so much for so long. I have faith in the team he has trained and left behind. I'm confident Thran will make him proud as Regent #4, but I think it's fair to say that Noobi is in a league of his own.

Noobs -

Master. Master Noobs.

You did it, my friend. A very long, stressful road of the last few years culminates in something we all knew you would get to. Elder 2 is one hell of an accomplishment. One you’ve earned in spades. You’ve been an incredible friend, ally, and co-worker. You helped breathe continued and refreshing life into the monster that is the Possessions system and were willing to facilitate any of the insane stuff I wanted to pull off for our factions.

You done good. <3

Lord Idris Adenn, 2024-07-23 21:14:25 UTC

I had the honor of serving on Noobi’s staff as a Magistrate for a term and alongside him on the Council. In the time I’ve known him in the Regent role, Noobi was organized, driven, and committed to providing members with the highest-quality content and service possible. Noobi truly took the regency and made it his own, taking possessions to new heights and, in the mark of a truly great leader, setting up the office to churn along toward a lofty vision after his term ended.

On a more personal level, I owe Noobi a great deal. He gave me a chance to serve on staff during one of the lower points in my DB career. He offered relentless encouragement as I settled into the Fist role, helping calm my nerves during that first vendetta. He quickly became an enthusiastic co-conspirator on all my crazy ideas for reforming the Grand Master’s Royal Guard. The successful reform of the GMRG and the popular new society rewards wouldn’t have been possible without Noobi. He refined ideas while contributing significant ones of his own to the project.

I have little doubt that his service to the Brotherhood will continue in a series of new roles. Thank you for everything you’ve done for the club. Truly you have earned the title of Master.

Councillor Turel Sorenn, 2024-07-24 00:30:11 UTC

Noobi and I have locked horns over projects and policies more than a few times over the years, but nevertheless he's become someone I consider a friend. That sounds like a contradiction, but it's not. Noobi is passionate about this club. He's passionate about the Council's role as Bringer of Cool Stuff to the members. Passion translates to strong opinions on the details, but I think we've always been in step on the big picture of providing a better experience for the members. And Noobi is not squeamish about putting in hours and hours of work towards that big picture. It was silly that he lingered at EQ4 while doing that level of work, but it's good to see him getting his due now.

I've had the personal pleasure of knowing Noobis for nearly 27 years, spanning time going back even before the DB came into existence. And without a doubt, I can say that he is absolutely one of the most deserving of a promotion to EL2.

Going all the way back then, I've watched him grow and mature from the fun little bundle of chaos squirrel energy that he used to be into the mature and forward-focused individual he is today. Always looking to improve things for others, while sometimes overlooking his own needs; but thats Noobis.

I've been able to watch the outcome of this growth in his love of being Regent while being one of his Magistrates these last years. From Life Day, to May the Fourth, to spontaneous Expansion releases for the fun of it just to make sure members had fun new things to interact and utilize. Everything he does, like I've said, has been for the members.

I look forward to what else he will do in the future, as I know for certain no matter what it is, he will continue to do everything for the members. Thank you brother, for all you've done. Now, you're part of the Masters.

Drinks are on you.

Supreme Chancellor Cassandra Oriana Taldrya, 2024-07-25 17:41:21 UTC

Anubis’ contributions to this club have been well documented. Three years as Regent produced a heretofore unseen level of expansion of the possessions system. His guidance and leadership in this role made all of this possible. I could drone on for hours about what Anubis has done for the DB, but I’ll spare you all the time. It’s alot. Like really really alot.

I think Anubis embodies the spirit of this club to the fullest level. He’s the poster child for second chances. He’s climbed the ranks, worked incredibly hard, and set straight the errs of his past. He was given an opportunity and he took it. And what a masterclass he put on…

I am so happy that I have had the opportunity to get to know him. Anubis is a dear friend and mentor. He has always presented himself to me with integrity, honesty, and tact. Serving as his Praetor was, so far, the greatest privilege of my DB career. And to have the continued opportunity to work with him now, as he serves as a member of the Regent’s staff, is an even greater blessing.

I cannot thank Anubis enough for his help, guidance, friendship and “taking a chance” on me. In a way, I'm like his foundling. He took me on and showed me the Regent way.

Congratulations, Bossman. You are a Master now. This is the Way.

Thran Occasus-Palpatine, 2024-07-26 01:34:02 UTC

Noobi.

I am so god damn proud of you. You have become one of the leaders of our group of Internet Space Wizards. You've grown, you've kicked ass, you've done a shocking number of things.

And I suspect? You aren't done yet. You'll be back. I can't wait.

Congratulations!

Howlader Taldrya, 2024-07-26 02:38:43 UTC

There’s so much to say about Noobi and I know I am not gifted enough to say it. So, I’ll say this…I’ve seen the spreadsheets he managed as Regent and they are beautiful.

So much of what makes the DB real is possessions and I found myself early awaiting each release with glee knowing there was going to be a new toy I had to get.

Noobi struck that perfect balance between silliness and seriousness that made you love the debates and discussions about what would come next for the Brotherhood.

You’ve earned this and so much more!

Master Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz, 2024-07-26 04:46:15 UTC

Ahh Anubis,

I remember being a member of Acclivis Draco back in January 2008, I think it was around noon on saturday the 5th, when Noobis joined HAD from the rogues. Such a great friendship! So many realised memories!

I remember being a member of Acclivis Draco back in January 2008, I think it was around dinner on saturday the 5th, when Noobis left HAD to rejoin the rogues. Such a loss! So many unrealised memories!

I remember Anubis, he was a little shit. Then he got bigger. Let's hope he hasn't stopped growing yet!

Congratulations my friend!

Supreme Chancellor Ood Bnar, 2024-07-26 18:28:15 UTC

I've known Noobis for many years, both within the Brotherhood and in other clubs. In that time, he's grown remarkably as a leader, and become laser-focused on making the club the best place it can be. He stepped up to help me lead Taldryan in 2019 and 2020 despite not really wanting the job, because he knew the Clan needed Summiteers that could lead by example. He took on often thankless Regent Staff positions doing behind-the-scenes work that most members never realise happens, then became the public face of the Possessions system—and the lightning rod for criticisms of the same—when he became Regent.

Noobis perseveres because making the club better is more important to him than trying to keep people happy. His attitude gets results, too. Possessions is an impressive system, no matter what your opinions are on specific aspects of it. The Brotherhood has been able to offer its members more options because of Possessions, and Noobis has been at the heart of those efforts for almost five years. That's the kind of dedication that makes a true Elder.

General.
