[HONG]

I’m pretty sure the earliest interaction with dirty that I can remember was back around when I first joined (so not too long ago) on ttt_simple, and at the time staff presence on the servers was pretty much nonexistent. I, of course, heavily criticized (complained about) this and how I hadn’t seen more than 3-4 of the staff listed on the online members list in discord actually play ingame, so the few staff that actually did get on were under pretty heavy scrutiny for whatever they did. I remember the chip on my shoulder towards dirty, someone I hadn’t seen yet but was all too ready to judge, grew about 10 times when he took his sweet time handling my report. Again, being the good samaritan I am, I once again criticized him (complained) for this, and I remember recording his response—he stated how he’d been staff for years, and really just wanted to get on to chill out. I was still pretty pissed, and I almost sent it to some dude (who turned out to be @Nicol Bolas ) over discord, and probably the only reason I didn’t was because he didn’t have direct messages from non-friends enabled. That being said, this experience has even still impacted my view of him, but in a very ironic way—I recall it, and am almost confused, as his conduct, throughout the entire time I’ve known him (counting as a non staff member), has probably been the most consistent on the staff team; he gets on, he does his job, he does it well, and has a chill time doing it. After putting myself in his position, I understand his original response to what I thought was insanely slow report handling all too well: everyone just wants some time to chill out and not be pestered by frustrated guests. I can’t recall ever finding an issue with him, or how he staffed, since then. If there’s anyone that deserves to be rewarded for such consistency, helpfulness, and chill attitude, it’s him, and the title of Mod fits the bill. +1
