WOW, 10 years as a Council member!
You already were the longest serving Council member in KR's history a few years ago, but this is definitely a milestone above all others

In my time on the KR Council I was correct about many things, but this one particularly sticks out right now.
(sorry non-Council people)

Thank you for taking my leadership lessons and challenges to heart (even though at the time you might pushed back against some of them ).
I tried my best to set you up for success, but it was you who took the leadership reins yourself and trailblazed your own path.

You have earned your seat on the Council and in KR's Hall of Fame many times over.
KR would not be where it is today without you, and KR knows it.

You have exceeded my expectations, wishes, and dreams.
Thank you for being here Jawfin

[MasterM]

Congratulations!!

[jawfin]

Wow thanks!

Thanks to Rav for helping make this the place I wanted to be, where honesty, integrity, and honour carry meaning; where apologies are real and not forced; for providing a genuine haven from the world when I needed it, way back when.

I don't know what else to say, so as a giggle I'll post my application I made from back then, in, oh, um, February 2008

____________


Application
===========
In-Game Name: Jawfin

Real Name (Optional): Jonathan Barton

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Email Address: jawfin@gmail.com

Timezone: AEST (Australia East Coast)

Saber type/style (Dual/Staff/Single): Single

KR Members you know or have spoken to: -
Dyyor, Squall(Blade), Doomreaver, Ayzarious, Tidus, Echo, Kyuubi, RaVeN, Phoenix, NinjaSarah, Shadowfoxy, Revelation, Flapjack, Delev.

Which KR member invited you?: Doomreaver

How did you find out about KR?: From the server list, and it quickly became the first server I would connect to.

Former JA Clans: *none*

100 word statement on why you wish to join KR (any less will deem your application invalid): -
This is the first (and only) game I've ever played online and quickly found myself drawn to the other players. It's a warming sight that the first words I read are No Swearing [good!] No Laming [what?] etc. I saw moves I'd never seen before, and I immediately realised how little I knew about a game I've played [SP] for years. I presume you rarely get feedback from a person whose very first online gaming experience is visiting your server, so allow me to say that it really stands out. I've visited quite a few other servers, in which I saw... admin laming players (well me), players (well me again) being lamed repetitively whilst standing next to admin without them taking any action, admin kicking players they took personal offence to (not me!). I'd like to congratulate you on your admin structure and regulations (including the handling of admin abuse), and I've seen nothing but fun and fair admining. One more point: you guys are very considerate to each other as well; when Delev popped in after his absence he was warmly received.
At times I can be quite busy, but I love this game and I know I have lot to learn, and also a bit to give, and very much enjoy being in the company of the KR clan and feel I would like to belong.

One word that describes you: Virtuous


Note: Don't mistake my lack of online gaming for computer illiteracy. I've been using computers since 1980; I have a degree in computer science and am currently self-employed as a computer programmer. I've been using the internet since 1990 (ARPANET via BBS's) and am well skilled in internet security, and windows based operating systems and networks. I am more than will to help anyone with any computer issues they may have, please ask!
