Greetings Elyrians!

As you know, we just completed a round of Ambassador votes, and I am certain many of you anticipate what the outcome will be.

However, I have also recently been keeping my eyes out for individuals that may be better suited for a different kind of role…and after a thorough search and investigation, I am super pleased to announce that…

Polite

…has agreed to join the Moderator team as its newest member!

Polite has been a bastion of positivity and camaraderie since he first joined our community back in August of 2016. Since then, he has been true to his name and is considered by many to be the epitome of an exemplary Chronicles of Elyria community member.

Instead of listening to me extol his virtues, let’s hear what other members of the CoE community think about Polite:

"He certainly lives up to his name. One of the few people that truly has a forum name that describes them. He is always courteous, always willing, someone who will always go above and beyond. He will take his own time to try and find an answer for people. If a controversy comes up, he is able to engage in those discussions without adding to the controversy. I don't know what kingdom he is from, but it wouldn't matter as he would be excellent in this role." - King Dleatherus Bloodoak of Bordweall

"I have interacted limitedly with Polite in a direct manor. Typically, just to update the kingdoms and duchies spreadsheet, which has been an invaluable tool not just to me but to a large portion of the CoE community. Indirectly, I have seen Polite's diligence and conscious effort to keep people in the community at large engaged, happy, and temper their expectations. He has done an excellent job creating environments for all types of community members, and keeping the peace. Honestly, Polite as an Ambassador was a no brainer, Polite as a mod is all the better for the community at large." - King Evelake Rhyne of Vornair

"It is a pleasure and a delight to see Polite to receive an esteemed invitation from Soulbound Studios, a well-deserved role which speaks of his personal growth and commitment to the community he cares for passionately. There is a sincere quality to his actions and words, which only speaks of his character. I'm very proud of him." - Duchess Silvia of Fioralba

All I can say is, I wholeheartedly agree!

Please join me in welcoming Polite to this new role!!

More to come…

P.S. Please don’t solicit me about a moderator role. If you are right for it, I’ll find you 😊
