Dark Watch - About The Team
Dark Watch is comprised mostly of battle-hardened warriors with a few relatively recent graduates. As such, it is an ideal learning environment in which tactical details and strategies are actively reviewed and discussed. Led by Commander Anne Tardew (former DW Lieutenant) since December 2008, this team is known for their good humor, deadly efficiency on the battle field and impressive individual careers.
The leadership is fun, tactically sophisticated, and supportive. Identifying individual member's strengths and learning styles and helping them to build a career they can enjoy and be proud of is a priority.

The Dark Watch Awards
What are The Dark Watch Awards?
The Dark Watch Awards are a series of awards given at the conclusion of special operations to reward the fantastic and hardworking people we have on the team. Each award has a different set of criteria to qualify an individual for the award. The awards are varied to reward those who choose different careers, whether it be infantry, healing, engineering or any other. The one exception is The Team Choice Award which is voted on at the conclusion of the operation by the entire team.
Below are the recent recipients of The Dark Watch Awards for Operation: Hidden Gem.

ziptrickhead
Zip headed towards Operation: Hidden Gem with the purpose of reviving everyone in site! Ok, well maybe not everyone, but pretty damn close. He was the clear choice for this award, and to boot he gained the Heaven's Touch ABA. Congratulations!

Bob Boberton
No one is really sure why Bob likes to jump head first into ruined buildings, but he does so without a second thought, and as such he has been responsible for the single handed repair of many decayed buildings. It might be the promise of malt whiskey at the end of the day, or maybe just the love of helping out his fellow survivors, I'm not sure. Just keep an eye out for his unconscious body in the corner of newly restored building!

John Alcar
This was a close one! Our pistols were at the ready, our axes impatiently quivering in the other hand, but in the midst of this zombie apocalypse there was one shadow of hope - the shadow of John Alcar! His unrelenting slaughter of zombies could be heard across Crooketon. Well done!
Sgt Lenimen
No Guts, No Glory was in full swing when the cades fell and the zombies rushed in. I looked at Anne and she started to cade the NT, but passed out before she was finished. Codeist quickly rushed in, but didn't make it very far before he also passed out with exhaustion. I, very low on ammo was desperately trying to rid the NT of the threat of the zombies when low and behold Sgt Lenimen shows up out of the blue! A one man killing machine, he quickly dispatched the threat, dusting off his pistols now covered in zombie guts. All were surprised, as Lenimen had been gone on a long journey, and returned early, and just in the nick of time! For saving the day, and the lives of many, I am honoured to name you our Hero of the Day!

Anne Tardew, Bob Boberton and Morrigana
The team looked around, undecided on who would receive such an honour! As such, a three way tie for first emerged. Congrats to Anne Tardew, Bob Boberton and Morrigana for being the team's VIP!

Morrigana
This was a very tough call as so many Dark Watchers shined during this operation. The reality is that DW is comprised of many highly skilled, dedicated players and I am honored to fight along side each and every one of you. The descriptions following note some, but certainly not all of everyone's individual contributions. Michael Markus, our medic, quietly but without fail kept us all breathing; ziptrickhead also revived many and secured his Heaven's Touch ABA during Operation: Hidden Gem as well as displaying the stellar survivor skills we've grown accustomed to from him; Bob Boberton, winner of our Handyman award for frequent major repairs also provided many heals, scouts and good intell throughout the operation; and Codest1 who was so often at the ready to drop a zed, revive a commerade or cade a building. Then there is the player I ultimately selected - our lovely Lieutenant Morrigana.

Testimonials
- Dark Watch - The best Combat Team in all of the Fortress. I have learned so much. Especially the importance of knowing which suburb you're in, and to always to have an EP. The leadership in DW is exceptional, Commander Tardew is one of the best ever. It's also one of the most tight knit groups and is one of the most comic also. Our RT sessions are never dull. And as for whopage, we're the best. We're not the biggest CT, but we are the most efficient. Oh and were the best at lighting Malton. Being the head engineer i can take some credit, but most of it goes to the other DW engineers and our scouts telling us what NT's or PDs need power. All in all, I can't say I have seen a better CT. --Jacob VonNaasz
