We say goodbye to an old friend, but welcome a new one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today we say goodbye to somebody who has been in the Org even longer than I have. As his free time for Yu-Gi-Oh! pursuits fades,\u00a0we say goodbye to Number XI, rei.<\/p>\n
Over the years he’s offered quite a lot for us and the game, through running DuelistGroundz and doing the SysAdmin work for YGOrganization; in his absence we are left with a vacant seat and no SysAdmin.<\/p>\n
So, we’ve chosen to fill that seat with another new member. Please give a warm welcome to our new System Administrator, Rusty.<\/p>\n
Remarks\u00a0from Atem, one Co-Founder of the Org, follow:<\/p>\n
Before we had a website, we worked on mIRC for a short time through the good grace of Neo Ark Cradle, then commandeered a section of DuelistGroundz as a more permanent\u00a0base of operations, before eventually moving sequentially to Skype, and later, our own website and Discord.<\/p>\n
rei was gracious enough to allow us a place where we could do our work and translate: before we had a home of our own, he gave us one, and it was from that platform that we cultivated our first fandom and following. He was a busy person, and found time for us anyway; I’ve missed having him around as his free time has dwindled. We would be nowhere without his assistance.<\/p>\n
Rusty has big shoes to fill, but he’s already done great things for us behind-the-scenes, working closely with staff such as Dan and AntiTcb on matters of site optimization, et al. I wouldn’t award him this promotion without confidence in his capabilities and trust in Dan’s judgment: my other Numbers, except the one presently on sabbatical, all vote either to explicitly promote Rusty, or have no opinion on the issue beyond trusting in Dan’s judgment.<\/p>\n
With\u00a0a need to bring resolution to the issue and fill a vacant and necessary seat:\u00a0while observing that no Numbers challenge this motion: and recognizing that neither I nor Ark nor Eva veto this motion: As Co-Founder I confer upon Rusty the status of Number with all responsibilities and rights related. As the new Number XI and rei’s successor, rei’s duties will now become his.<\/p>\n
rei will remain on hand as a non-Number ally and consultant – having been his friend for over a decade, I can easily say that he’ll continue to\u00a0call out any bad decisions we make, exactly as I wish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
