    Default Sad News abounds...

    Two people who survived the recent troubles unscathed, today fell to the most insidious of predators - real life.

    Tacticalwithdrawal has been a giant on the site for over a year now but that time has taken its toll. He has been a fantastic contributor to the Site on so many levels. He has a cracking sense of humour and the ability to defuse an issue and point to pragmatic solutions that was second to none in my time in Hex.

    Katrina joined Staff mid October and has proved to be one of the most effective moderators. Her style is worthy of emulation by all. I never spoke to Katrina as much as I think I should, but I am aware of the great deal of respect she has earned. After coming in during some serious problems in Staff, Katrina, quickly became one of the team - and an aexcllent member at that.

    Please, both of you, stay and continue to contribute to the Community - even in a reduced capacity you enhance it for all and are well appreciated too.

    But yes, thanks for everything. I hope you'll stick around TWC and post; I'll be counting on it.

    True shame. Good luck folks. I too am suprised at Simetrical's show of emotions. Usually he maintains a hold, hard, steel like exterior that wards people off from miles away. Impressed.

    Both members brought a lot to the site through their presence in staff and both played pivotal roles in the direction of TWC.
    I congratulate both members for excellent tenures, thank them for their hours of service, and wish them all the best in their endeavours!

    Don't worry, I won't be deserting this place, TWC crack is far, far too addictive to allow that.

    It's been great fun and an honour to be in staff here, particularly during such 'interesting times'. Believe me when I say that the current Hex & Staff team is probably one of the best the site has ever had, and now we have an owner worthy of the place I expect it to go from stength to strength.

    I am really saddened you have to go. Now? I respect real life's needs and demands, especially for a people that tries to regain its independance and fights against all odds against the health wrecking effects of fried Mars bars, but now?

    Did I say, now?



    Anyways I hope you will both deal with the trivialities of RL fast and come back where your real heart (and the best haggis recipe) lies...
