Shimkey reminds me of 2023, the year I met him while we worked together in a now almost-defunct Discord server, for that project I was the overseer and Shimkey an up-and-coming collab manager, each collab went through my approval, thus on numerous occasions we got to talk to each other to devise approaching strategies and meeting requirements. In these frequent consultations I observed this guy was a stark contrast to his contemporaries, the disorganized conduct was nowhere to be found, like a nerd obsessed with good grades or an OCD-stricken somebody, he liked doing everything with proper finesse, through proper channels - therefore earning himself the moniker Commissioner Gordon because he did everything BY THE BOOK. Not even 2 months later of our working together, the sudden surge in rampant lack of transparency made me quit, later I came to know whilst majority had chosen to keep mum, Shimkey being a man of principles was first to resign among CMs, his conscience couldn't take the battering. In 2025, fate brings us back together for another rodeo when I approached the CM of Puffins on Abstract for my founded Ordinal community, Revolver Dao's collab, that anonymous young man turns out to be him, now heading Surgence's collaborative team in an esteemed position - I'd say I were pleasantly surprised, but it was a mere pleasure, severely lacking in any elements of surprise...for I knew by integrity his character had shown he'd go places and he'd do that triumphantly. Lord got His way of rewarding the righteous. I am happy to report in the aftermath of our subsequent dealings, the man sternly maintains his transparency to date. In the face of astounding personal success, there's only astounding humility to be found in him. Never change, Gotham's favourite lawman.
