Oh, trust me, this isn't our first "formal" promotion - it is one of the rarities, though
Crest, I knew that I was in for something when you first joined with us a little over a year ago. I never, in all my years, met such a new member so comfortable in her own skin - so open, so friendly, and strangely professional, as well.
Over time, my eye started to stray to watch over you in the guild. You're presence in the guild early-on was mired with a few "events," to say the least. I was worried that they were seeking to drive you away from the game, and I knew I couldn't let that happen. Least to say, I saw in you potential. I thought to myself one day that maybe you would stand beside me at the helm of the Victory Shark, to help me guide it.
And, I was right.
You are perhaps one of the few pirates in our three-year history that has ever risen in our ranks so quickly. I can only name two other pirates that have acquired such a not only honorable, but legendary seat which you hold at such the rate as yours - and I'm not including myself in that equation, either. You should be very proud, Crest - serving as Co-Guildmaster in this guild is an accomplishment unmatchable in any other. And, least to say, you deserve every minute of it.
Congratulations, Crestshot
