Yep...the time has come for me to step away from the Senate podium. I've been working behind the scenes for quite awhile, searching for someone insane enough suitable to step in. Please welcome your new Senate Moderator, @SuperWatto!
Have they come to a consensus on who should play Jaina Solo, and what color her lightsaber should be, yet? Congrats (I think) SW
thanks Merk, and congrats @SuperWatto It's always the best way. Don't make the announcement until you know they're asleep. That way, they can't say no. They wake up to a fait accompli.
Which technically makes Merk the first mod to actually step down from a different forum in favor of only focusing on Episode VII. Congratulations on the upgrade, Watto! Just remember to never delete the boards, no matter how enticing and easy it would be with the current software. Never, ever hover your mouse over the option, savoring the feeling of pure control. ... Er, I mean, I'm sure you'll do great!
Congrats @SuperWatto, you'll make a fine mod. And if not you'll at least never have to worry about having a full head of hair again.
Don't worry though, Senate posters. I'll still lurk and post every once in awhile. Remember... "I'm always watching you!"
Thanks Merk, and everybody. I will strive to uphold the high standards and strong coffee Merk represented. I will now order myself an embossed plaque that reads "No Funny Business", put it behind my executive chair, and start cackling madly for the rest of the day.
Knowing you it's probably the most luxurious Charles Eames chair, so yes please. Just ship it across the globe.
Congrats SuperWatto! Very fine addition to the mod squad. Good luck Merk! Thanks for all of your good work.
I'm trying to decide whether to retire from the community and follow Merk to the EPVII forum to haunt his every waking moment with relentless envelope-pushing pseudo trolling. Edit: Nevermind. It's a barren wasteland of soul-draining nonsense in there. Good luck, Merk! If you ever need a good troll-bombing to create a distraction so you can delete everything ever posted under the Speculation tag, you know where to find me.
The tolerance for pain that you built up through steadily imbibing emotive fan-fiction posing as fact in the Senate will serve you well in the EpVII boards.
Congrats SuperWatto and thank you to the people who made this decision for choosing a new mod with fewer characters in their name! At this rate we might be able to see the page numbers at the bottom again within our lifetimes!
