I cannot even begin to describe how much I appreciate Dalthid and his work as Combat Master…but I will try. I have been around in DGM or GM to see each one of the Combat Masters come and go. I can say without hesitation and without insult to the others that Dalthid’s term has had the greatest impact on the ACC. He simply has had the time in and dedication to the position to make a decidedly large imprint on what the ACC is and where it is going. Dalthid has a devotion to his tasks and a love for the ACC that is truly unmatched.

Some would say that Dalthid has some rough edges, but where others see that as a hindrance, I see strength. For years, the ACC was largely standardless; the judges judged based on the temperature of the day, the rules were rarely documented and enforce haphazardly, and there were many delays in the simplest of administration. I dealt with many problems in the ACC in its heyday, most of which are virtually non-existent now. I cannot tell you how nice it is as Grand master to simply not have to worry about something.

On a personal level, the thing that I like most about Dalthid is that he shows his appreciation for help. Just as he speaks plainly when telling you that you are in the wrong, he does not mince them when telling you are in the right. He is supportive of his staff and always ensures they are properly awarded. He thanks profusely those who help him and makes sure that they are willing to do more. Personally, I absolutely enjoy helping Dalthid with any aspect of his job; he shows appreciation for the coding projects I have done for him unlike anyone else. I cannot tell you how good of a feeling that is and how sorely lacking it is in other venues.

Dalthid is consistent and strong. He reports regularly, he gives heads up on problems and then he deals with them himself. He often contributes new ideas to discussions and is looking for many ways to innovate within his office. Things like the new Clan training program will be great changes to the ACC that will help the clans and the DB as a whole for years. He always has some great changes in the works; the legend of Dalthid in the ACC will be hard to overcome.

Dalthid, thank you for all that you do. The DB owes you a debt of gratitude. As a mark of that, I hereby honor your service by elevating you to the rank of Dark Jedi Master!
