MODERATOR AWARDS

Best Judge: Max Dirks. Not even because he asked me. I really value his feedback, and since coming to Althanas he has helped me to become a much better writer. Kicking back to the 2013 Magus Cup, his judgments helped me kick off the T1 style and even made my action writing better overall. And Althanas isn't about rainbows and unicorns once the thread is done. Dirks embodies what a Judge should be. He makes the writer grow. (Provided they listen to his feedback).

Most helpful/friendly Mod: Rayleigh for friendly. Cards for helpful, because he loves to go out of his way to help users.
