[justify]Today we are experiencing a change in the history. For the first time since January 2017 (at least per Magisterium’s recordings) the Delegate will award outstanding nations within The East Pacific with The Order of The Golden Ocelot. Whilst The East Pacific is made out of great and highly contributing individuals, there is eight individuals, that are the very shining stars of our region, that are the very beating heart of The East Pacific, and that brought a change and / or impact to our Region. [/justify]
[justify]Today, looking at one another, we are not seeing Gameplayers or Roleplayers - today, whilst looking at one another we are seeing fellow Eastern Pacificans. Regardless of the area of incredible and tireless contribution, the awarded individuals are, first and above of all, Eastern Pacificans, our brothers in bad and good times. Today, I am treating both Roleplayers and Gameplayers as equal, because anything else than Eastern Pacifican is just an additional label, because they contributed to our Home and to our Community, because they made a change in One Home, that we all share together.[/justify]
[justify]Look towards the East; look towards Christie Island; look towards Rillanon! What do you see? I see our Home, I see the very one East, that we are all living in and that we all love. I’m seeing the home, that they contributed to and their contribution was never noticed before.[/justify]
[justify]And that being said, I am hereby awarding following individuals listed below for outstanding contribution to our region. May they wear the Order of the Golden Ocelot proudly.[/justify]
