Primary reason

Halc did, does, and will continue to do work for the Brotherhood. That's who he is. Since his last recognition, Halc has participated in 103 competitions, co-organized 3 more, earned two novae, 22 crescents, 29 clusters, and I gather was generally a pain the ass of the Dark Council.

Since coming to the Master at Arms office, Halc has used his prior knowledge and experience (because he's an old ass DBer and a previous Master at Arms) to support our efforts.

The real work of the MAA Office comes in the day to day work of approving and denying medal requests, processing appointments and resignations, managing competitions (and manually editing competitions) – and knowing the nuances of our database to make competitions work (for instance, switching competition archetypes to allow manual addition of participants, and then switching it back). Like all that came before him and those that will come after - Halc's biggest contributions are related to the discussions that occur among the staff about medals and promotions. That happens with every single sacramental award (and many of the merit), every equite and higher promotion – that is where the bulk of the work occurs.

Enjoy your red club, Halcy von Doodle.

Additional reasons

Halcyon rejoined Taldryan back in 2018 shortly before my appointment for my second tenure as Consul of Clan Taldryan and stayed during my tenure. During that time Halcyon was a backbone for the activity and the fictional development of the Clan during that time. He also briefly joined me as Proconsul of the Clan.

Overall, Halcyon participated in a total of 80 Competitions during my second reign as Consul, adding 18 Crescents of various Rarities, 3 Legions of the Scholar, 6 Clusters of Graphite, and 10 Clusters of Ice, and most importantly 1 Seal of Loyalty to his achievements.

The above alone is a testament to the dedication of Halcyon but in fact, it's only half of what he stands for. Halcyon does all this not for himself but to give back to the rest of the Brotherhood.

This is what this Club is standing for and why Halcyon is more than deserving of this Ruby Scepter, congratulations Halcyon.

Halc as my Praetor for 10 months did work hand in hand with me as Regent in covering almost everything, and his time as Magistrate and his time as Praetor the work done didn't change, just his site access. It was over a solid year of impact on the office processing requests of members, reviewing items and helping members create fun compelling items and fixing so many credit things on the site that went wrong. So much went wrong. Anything I accomplished over that year was accomplished because I didn't have to worry about the day to day because Halc is so awesome. He earned this medal years ago, may it drown in all his other accomplishments.
