Hello all!
It is my pleasure to congratulate Spookie for his promotion to the rank of server Moderator after his very successful and productive term as server Deputy and Commissioner!
Spookster, or Spookie as we affectionately call him, is all but a household name on the server. Having embraced all the special tools and technologies availabe to a Commissioner, such as World Control and NBTEdit, has allowed him to truly flourish as a creative mind and enhancer of the player experience. Many an adventurous player has gushed over the swash-buckling adventures of his dungeon quests, which improves and far surpasses anything I could have ever accomplished in my own prototype quest. He is an avid renovator and continues his quest with improving and repurposing neglected or abandoned sites on the server. And most of all, he's been a good friend to many, a stalwart defender of the server, an excellent application writer, and a loyal, patient and dedicated staff member; that he associates himself with a dog is only fitting as dogs are likewise intelligent, loving and loyal companions. Whatever indiscretions he may have committed in the past in his long journey and evolution to this point have all been forgotten and forgiven as he has proved his worthiness of our respect and admiration time and time again.
I hereby proudly propose that Spookie be offered the opportunity to be a Moderator on our server, and join the elite cadre of staff members entrusted with unfettered access to the very heart and soul of the server. Thank you.
Spookie was voted in through a parliamentary-style staff election featuring a whopping 94% voter turnout, with 15 votes in favor and one abstain due to unavailability!
I want to thank all staff who participated in giving Spookie such an enthusiastic vote of confidence, as well as all players who have showered him with much deserved praise and camaraderie!
