To say that none of this would ever exist without the presence of Azrican, known initially as AzricanRepublic when I first met him, would be a gross understatement. My entire passion for writing, the Supremacy, Pteia, Ad Astra as it has ever existed, and all of the friendships and good times I've had in the wake of first meeting him, would never have come to pass. For that, I am eternally grateful, for your inspiration, support, and friendship. I wouldn't trade any of it for the world, and I have you to thank more than anyone else for that. I know the inaugural MotM is a special affair, as the infrastructure for any of it barely existed until recently, but I think I can safely say that we can all agree that there is no contest.
I could not think of anyone more deserving of recognition and honor than you, old friend. I am so glad you're back.
"Almost all of you know our fearless leader already, so there is no point in gilding the Austran Rose here. For those of you who don't know, Otto is one of the most level-headed people I've met, as well as generous and meticulous. Not to mention that, when you do get him to actually write an IC post, it is generally worthy of being a page or two torn from a classic published work, and his world building is A+." - Krysis
