Creation and Usage Notes

Back in 2017 I was in a fantasy football league with my friends—and I won. The next season, as the returning champion, I offered a reward to whoever beat me (either the person that beat me last in the regular season disqualifying me for the playoffs, or the person who beat me in the playoffs): their name in a project I was working on. I did make it to the playoffs that season, but a team managed by Adam Hughes beat me in the first round. To honor his victory, I worked his first and last name into two projects, to make sure it would show up on screen. The first was Dune, but the line was cut. The second, though, was The Witcher, and there I had success. In episode 104 the dryad general says adem hyuz which translates to "already too many" in one of his lines, and thus my promise was fulfilled.
