Current State of Tourneys

Hello all,

I know I don't make many posts, but I wanted to give everyone an update on the current state of the Tournaments Forum.

First, as you all probably know, Optimus Prime has stepped down as Tournament Director. I have read all of your supportive posts and farewells, and I too, wish Opt and his wife the very best as they move forward with their lives and prepare for their new arrival.

Through his creative ideas and countless hours of work, Optimus took Tournaments to a whole new level...both as a player, tournament host, and CC staff member. His contributions were invaluable and his mark will remain with Conquer Club forever. He'll always be my little Jack Rabbit on Crack. ;)

I have received numerous PM's regarding the issue of bringing another Tournament Director on board. Many of you have volunteered your services to step up and volunteer your time. As you know, it is because of people like you, who love CC as much as we do and are willing to freely give of themselves, that CC continually grows and improves almost on a daily basis.

At this time, however, we are not going to be backfilling the vacated TD position. But, of course, this could change in the near future, or on down the line.

Night Strike and I will continue to run the show with the assistance of Gilligan and Natewolfman who have both proven to be great assets to us. Without them, the TD's job would be twice as difficult and time-consuming.

If you need Tourney Priv.'s please PM either Night Strike or myself. And, always feel free to ask us for any assistance should you need it. Thanks to all for your help and support.

Steel

Steelhorse, whenever the TD position is filled will that mean you will return to your old levels of activity, don't leave us alone

Lol...dont' worry Max, you are never alone. :D

Originally, I assumed my TD duties when Tournaments was growing and AK_iceman needed a respit. And, for a period of time, I was the only one handling all Tourney functions. Then, we brought Opt on board and well, the rest is history. Opt grabbed the ball and ran with it and elevated the Tournament Forum beyond what even I could have imagined. Shortly thereafter, Night Strike joined the Tourney team and has done a superb job. And, with the recently added assistance of Gilligan and Natewolfman, I feel the Tournament Forum is running quite smoothly, and in my opinion, is the best Forum on the site...of course, I am a little biased. ;)

Last year, my wife and I had our first child. This turned out to be more time-consuming than I could have imagined. Between that and a full-time job, it's not easy for me to be as "visible" as I once was. As Optimus puts it, "we call Steel when we need the big stick." :P But, I am on CC every day (usually) and keeping my finger on the pulse of what is going on. Believe me, I see and read almost EVERYTHING. I may not make many posts or make my presence known too often but I am always available to assist you in any way.

Even without Optimus, I have no doubt that things will continue to run smoothly. Between Night, Gill, Nate, and myself, we will keep the Tournament Forum running and improving.

And, anyone...and I mean ANYONE...who needs assistance is free to PM me at any time and I will do the best I can to help them out with whatever they need assistance with. And, I can say the same for any of the other member of the Tournament Forum team.

So Max, I'm not going anywhere...you're stuck with me, even if you can't always see or hear me.
