1. What year were you awarded your white belt?
2010
2. Who administered "the punch" and-- be
honest!!--did it hurt?
Radstar, and a little, cause he has
bony hands and I have a bony chest.
3.
Whose
belt did you wear until you got your own, and how was this significant for you?
Sir Jarrod's. It was super
significant as Jarrod has been my biggest influence in game. I also remember he
threatened to end me if I broke it :P I mean the belt is almost as old as I am.
4. Can you
describe your own belt's heraldry?
My belt is a traditional style KoEF
belt with diagonal stripes, I've included the
Folkestone
symbol with two Chinese characters for Family Forever.
5. Why did you
chose that heraldry to represent you?
I wanted mine to look similar to
Jarrod's as I liked the traditional style, I included the Folkestone symbol
because it is a large part of who I am as a person today, and to make it
"Malaki" I added the Chinese characters for what Folkestone means to
him.

6. Who did the artwork on your
belt?
Leanne (Hoffman) Micciche.
7. What do you
remember most about your knighting?
It was at Leviathan, and I actually
suspected it was happening because two of my very close friends who were KoEF
were avoiding me all day.
8.
What
does being a KoEF mean to you?
Being a KoEF means many things, and
I'm not sure I can do my feelings justice with words. As much as we sometimes
pick on our one tenet of "To thine ownself be true" if you look at it
on a deeper meaning, it sums it up pretty well. Have beliefs and convictions,
and never be afraid to stand up for them
