Congratulations! You are now part of the staff! Hypothetically, at least. For this task your group will act as the staff, and you must come together to make an important decision...the very same decision that the current staff is trying to make right now.
You must decide the next Cid's Knight. You will not be deciding between real members, but 5 candidate profiles that we will provide you. Each candidate has their strengths and weaknesses that would make them a good Knight.
Please discuss the merits of each candidate in this thread, and together come to a decision on who to promote, with a reason why they were chosen over the rest.
For the duration of this task please stay out of the other teams' threads. We will be watching you. Remember, everything you do is graded.

- Has a smart unique personality and outlook that not many others have.
- Forum activity is currently moderate.
