Going on Hiatus

Alternate thread title: So Long and Thanks for all the Fish.

Hey guys,
I'll be retiring from moderating in the Throne Room for a while. I'll still be, although for a little while maybe less so than usual. That ever pesky "real life" is part of the reason for the decision. I've also become increasingly slow with my turns and not doing a good job hosting and starting new games. I've been a long time in deciding it but believe that it's time to step aside.

I will still be around and will finish my current games (and maybe join another after they're done. This place has always been my internet "home". I hope to be as active as I used to be again.

Thanks for all the good times, and looking forward to continuing to see you guys in the hotseats and rpgs.

It's been a long road Zim, from the Vandal PBM to KotR onward. Glad to see you'll be sticking around.

Its indeed good to see that youre staying with us and i hope your furnace lights up once again soon!
I hope whatever is "pesky" with your real life goes away quickly and turns into awesome^^

Either way... Gondor does not stand alone, We ride by your side!

@Zim, I remember you were my first ally in hotseat games.

As much as it's been a blast playing in all these games with you, it's also been a huge honor working with you on staff and getting to know you as a person. Your sense of justice and fair play is unparalleled in anyone I have met here or in RL. According to Hebrew legend there are just twelve people alive at any time who are unquestionably virtuous and I think you have a good claim to be one of them.

Thanks for all the help, advice and support and for the often unappreciated hard work you put into the org and the throne room. I hope you'll stick around for the next phase as the new leadership takes the reigns.

I have reserved the room next to me in the org retirement village - move in whenever it's convenient!

Well, I'm glad your not leaving entirely!

Seriously though, I've had a great time playing with you here in the throne room, and wish I could have had more time as your co-moderator. In any case, I hope things go well for you IRL, and look forward to playing future games with you!

@Zim , it was an honor to have you on staff and I'm very happy to read that you'll stick around.

I think both you and @phonicsmonkey have been role models for all of us. Thank you so much for everything you've done.

Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

You've been a helpful moderator and an honest player. You were also my first ally and together we won the very first hotseat in my career. Don't be a stranger, and I hope we can see a resurgence of the types of games you miss and love.

Thanks for the good work Zim, hopefully we'll be in another RPG together. For Flemish Cloth!

Thanks for all the good times, Zim - you've a blast to play with, both in Hotseats and especially in KotR & LotR. Sad to see you go, but hope all goes well.

For Flemish Cloth!!!!!
