But the best part of my new rank is to have "Ageod" in it. It's MY honour !

Amazing, how almost 5 years have past since I began this journey with all of you guys

Hail to the Gracious Queen for her Forgiveness and Gratitude...
You're quite welcome, Franciscus, for what small role I played.
Hohenlohe, I appreciate your graciousness, and quite agree with your sentiments about Franciscus!

As a matter of fact, even before this issue of Franciscus' title arose, I was in the process of seeking to find a way to suitably reward him for his
excellent, exemplary work as a AACW beta.

[...]I also nominate
Franciscus for his solid service as an AACW beta tester. He has provided more leads for fixes in a shorter period of time than anyone that
I can remember. If I may be so bold, I would also recommend that he be awarded "exceptional honors" of some sort, due to circumstances which I shall not make public, but which make his service all the more inspiring.
Those who have access to the AACW Beta forum know that Franciscus is not only a dedicated volunteer, but a very effective and prolific one, too! Whether it's due to his vast experience with the game, or some sort of innate talent for Beta work, I really can't say for sure... but my guess is that it's both.

His contribution to making the game what it is today is impressive, indeed.
Have you ever wondered why he has the unusual title, "Sir Memory-a-lot"? Pocus awarded it to him years ago, as a gesture of thanks for solving a problem with AGE games that seemed unsolvable.
Perhaps you've noticed the "memory usage" option in Ageod's games:

Back in the early days of AACW there were a lot of map related crashes. Franciscus worked closely with Pocus until finally they were able to determine
why the crashes were happening. The reason was related to the way that some systems handled RAM memory. Franciscus suggested an option to decrease physical memory usage. It worked! Pocus awarded him the title of "Sir Memory-a-lot" to graciously thank him for his shrewd insight. The rest, as they say, is history.
Almost five years later, Franciscus is
still working diligently to improve AACW. We are very fortunate to have a volunteer with such exceptional skill, and possessed of such an astonishing work ethic.
My crown is off, to you, Franciscus!
Even before this recent update of his title, I had recently approached Franciscus with the intention of rewarding his faithful and excellent service with a free AGEod game of his choice. Wouldn't you know it... he already owns them all!

And so, he made an alternate suggestion at my insistence. The reward that he suggested involved something that would help his work as a Beta.
Somehow, I'm not surprised.
For his long, distinguished and exceptional service to our AGEod community, I award the high honor of Queen's Counsel.

This award is similar but not identical to the Queen's Counselor medal presented to Le Ricain and Lodilefty. It's dignity is 57.
