I wanted to take a minute to welcome and congratulate the newest five star GM, Wes Nicholson. He is the second five star GM from Australia and the third outside of the U.S.
Some of the recommendations for Wes to be promoted to his fifth star include the following:
"Wes is a selfless organiser who dedicates a massive amount of his time and energy to ensuring all players get the best experience out of PFS. On the many occassions that I have played in games he has run, he has made them fun and colourful with his GM style. On the rare occassion I've seen him actually play, he has been just as much fun to have on your table. Congratulations Wes."
"I'd like to recommend Wes Nicholson as a gamemaster. In running PFS scenarios, he is knowledgeable, up to date, scrupulously fair and very funny. He's tireless in organising, preparing and running games, without regard to his own time, to support and build the local PFS community and other GMs, providing literally carloads of game materials, printouts and scale maps."
"I have known Wes for the last ten years and in that time I have seen him run countless games days and cons. He is always willing to help new players and introduce them to this great hobby. He has helped develop so many new friendships in this university and government town through this hobby. Without his efforts, PFS in Canberra would be a lot smaller and we would all be poorer for it. A million thanks for all the effort and sacrifice you have made Wes."
"Wes has been a pillar of the Canberra roleplaying community for as long as I can remember. In fact it is due to his organisation of games days and conventions that we have the community we do today."
"I have only been playing Pathfinder for a year. However, in that time I have seen how dedicated Wes is to supporting all of the players in Canberra. Despite a limited number of regular GMs (especially earlier this year), Wes has always strived to provide a game for interested players. On a number of occasions Wes has stepped in to GM when extra players have turned up or the scheduled GM was unable to run. On a personal note, Wes has encouraged my first steps as a GM and I frequently request his assistance with rules interpretation when I am unsure. I would very much like for Wes to be awarded his fifth GM star, as I believe it reflects the level of support he gives to his players and his depth of experience as a GM."
Welcome aboard Wes!

Wow. All those nice things people posted to Mike about me. Thanks everyone.
It's nice to get that 5th star, but really I do this cos it's FUN.
Organising an event can be a bit rough at times, but if the end result is happy players then it's all worth it.
And, GMing is the best kept secret in organised play. GMs get to run multiple characters every time, players just get one. Maybe two if they have a companion.

Due to the continuing website issues from yesterday, I can't post under my account so I'm using a friend's. This is Doug Miles writing.
I'm proud to stand next to Wes. He goes back a long ways in the RPGA and we are lucky to have him aboard Pathfinder Society. I don't think any other volunteer can claim to have traveled as far as Wes has, for as many years as he has. It seems like everyone at conventions in the States knows him. Congratulations Wes! I have just one question for you, something we all need to know in fact: What kind of beer do your prefer to drink?
Usually I prefer it to be cold. Except in the UK of course.
More seriously, the darker the better. But in the end, if I'm with a bunch of good people like oh, 99% of the Pathfinder folk I've met, I'll drink whatever. Even hard lemonade, as long as it's spiked with vodkaBtw, we missed you at UCon.
And Steve, I way more than had fun at UCon. Everyone who can get there should go next year. Just sayin'...
