The Guardians forums move pretty fast. Gnomes, Canadians, Cooking, and
wha!!tever else you can think of -- and gaming, of course -- all contribute to things flying around the "new" lists like Martini makes alts. Every so often we like to simmer down a little reduction for your gastrognomic pleasure:
The Crimson LaurelIn case you missed it, Crimson Laurels are kind of a big deal. From
The Guardian Charter:
Section V.c - Current Marks of Honor
...(some other stuff is here, like "lesser" awards. Go check it out again.)... Then:
The highest honor a Guardian can receive, it is awarded to those extraordinary individuals whom personify the values and traits that the Guardians hold most dear, and live the Code through their every action. This award should be reserved for those Guardians who, without question, make TG the guild that it is.
In fact, Justin Beiber was eight years old when this guild was formed, yet the Crimson Laurel had only been awarded once during his rise to the ripe old age of eighteen.
May 2012 saw mASSter of the awards process (and some other stuff too I think), Torynn, hand out the Crimson Laurel to
Mikhal Lastin and Drenarb. But wait, there's more! Knowing that Torynn isn't the type to send himself flowers, guild leader Rico VanZant pulled a fast one on the awards mASSter and awarded
Torynn with the Crimson Laurel as well.
So congratulations again to Mik, Dren, and Torynn on joining Uncle as recipients of this highest of awards.
