You would have thought that as Del's official cheerleader, Miriel would be writing this. You thought wrong. While having endless praise from her is something every man wants (and I expect plenty for voting for him) she is not the only one of us who thinks he is just fabulous.
Let's take a trip back in time. Four years sounds about right. Surprise! (although it wasn't really) Yes, they had made that crazy spammer Del Murder a Cid's Knight. I think there was something of a buzz about the place. People seemed excited about this. Well, as excited as they can be for a moderator appointment on a Final Fantasy forum.
Back to the present, and look at where we are now. Del Murder is an administrator, having worked tirelessly for this forum for the past four years. I could go on about the things he has done during those years but this speech would be unbearably long, so instead I shall talk about the things he has contributed over the last six months.
Firstly, changing members' names is unbearable torment for admins. It's like being made to watch an Uwe Boll movie, or having to go through Baloki's entire post history. Del (along with Leeza) has undertaken this painful task and has done so without complaint.
On a similar note, he has also been responsible for renaming all of the mafia accounts. Mafia, of course, is something that is enjoyed by an awful lot of EoFFers and his efforts in not only renaming the accounts, but also setting up user groups and so forth have been much appreciated. And I could be wrong, but I believe that Staff Mafia happened within the last six months. For those of you who don't know, Staff Mafia is accepted to be one of the best, if not the best (I think it was the best) mafia game at EoFF so far, and Del, along with Miriel, put in a lot of time to organise it.
The two of them also combined to create Eyes on's Next Cid's Knight, a roaring success, in that not only did it create a lot of activity, bring enjoyment to the members and liven the place up a bit, it also brought us the wonderful Flying Mullet.
Finally, something that most of you unwashed regular members will not be able to appreciate, and I thumb my nose to you in true Elitist style, he also makes the staff forum a much more enjoyable place to post in with his presence.
So congratulations to you, Del Murder, on a well-deserved Highwind award. You truly are an example to us all, and an asset to this here forum. But I am still a better spammer and mafia player than you.
