Goodbye Tosa, youve been awesome. Congragulations Kurki, Good Luck to you.

(This is an April fools thing isnt it? Crap, now I feel like an idiot. )

[Blodrast]

Unless it's just an April's Fool thingy, thank you for all your efforts, TosaInu, and hope you'll still stick around. Hope your RL stuff that drags you away from the Org is good stuff, not bad stuff.

Congratulations to both KukriKhan and Ser Clegane - glad to have you top brass ! :)

[Csargo]

Sorry to see you go Tosa but I guess if you had if must be done.

Congratulations to KukriKhan and Ser Clegane.

[Duke John]

You have done a perfect job, Tosa. Always keeping your cool, politeness and a low profile while doing great things.



And cheers to KukriKhan and Ser Clegane for spending more of their freetime to keep the Org a happy place.

[edyzmedieval]

One thing is for sure:

The Org will never be the same without TosaInu!

[Ironside]

Explains all the red in the backroom nowadays.

The admin is gone , long live the (new) admin!

[x-dANGEr]

.. It is a black day when the mighty falls (Or retires).. I really must admit that I was first stunned when I visited this site. It's so organised that it gets the people who visit it to wonder, if those who really administrate it are really humans. I haven't been around for a long time, so I can only say with my chin up: "I'm proud to have witnessed your days". Farewell Tosa, whole communities are found and fortified with efforts of people like you, as rare as those people are, as lucky we feel to have you been in the Total War community. Good luck with your life, and may you have the happyness you wish for.

Congratulations Kukrikhan and Ser Clegane. You have a very high line to try to jumb over.. I salute you at the start of your journey, the journey of a million miles, that starts with one step.

[Kralizec]

Thank you for all you did for this community Tosa, and I do hope you'll stick around as a humble patron like most of us.
Congratulations to Ser Clegane and Kukri Khan for their promotions, both very much deserved.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

this thread is obviously a joke, but I'm covering myself for the astronomicly small probability that it's true

[R'as al Ghul]

Since it's already April, 3rd I suppose this is true....

Thanks for keeping the .org running, TosaInu.
You did a great job.
I always enjoyed your (posting) style, especially when the topic was controversial.
I hope you don't quit the Admin position because of the bad behaviour some people showed on your board recently.

I hope we still see you around, but as a Senior Member, please.



P.S.: Welcome KukriKhan and SerClegane, I'm sure you will do well.

[Geoffrey S]

Thanks for doing an excellent job on keeping the forums ticking TosaInu; and congratulations to KukriKhan and Ser Clegane on your new positions!

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Congrats Kurkri!

And God bless.

Sorry to see Tosa go, godspeed and good luck.

[Kull]

As a new mod, one of my very first actions was a serious, brain-dead level mistake that even a day-old newb couldn't possibly have committed. Yet Tosa quietly and quickly stepped in to fix things and return everything to normal. Not a cross word, not an eye-roll, just a quiet concern to help get things back on an even keel. TosaInu? You, sir, shall be sorely missed.

My very best regards, Kull/Paul

[khelvan]

Wow. For me, personally, it has been impossible to think of the .org without thinking of TosaInu. He has been the epitome of the perfect moderator for longer than I can remember. There is nothing that I can say, other than, with sincerity:

Thank you.

Congratulations to Kukri and Ser Clegane! You have quite the pair of shoes to fill.

[TosaInu]

Thank you all for the kind words.

[Duke John]

You deserve it, just as you deserve Senior Membership!

Go Tosa for teh Senior Member!

Good luck my friend!

[TosaInu]

This accountlevel is good.

[Kagemusha]

I kind of understand Tosa´s point here.If somebody is true member of the Org,he is.

[Gregoshi]

Wow. I've had a few days to digest this news and it hasn't helped one little bit. In the back of your mind you know a day like this will eventually come, but it doesn't lessen the shock when it happens. The Org without Tosa seems impossible, but here it is. Tosa was always there for the staff when we needed him and when we didn't, he'd leave well enough alone. If you were quiet for too long, you could count on a "Hello. How are you doing?" PM to let you know he's thinking about you. It is the little things like that that made the Tosa era so special. Several times when I was a moderator, Tosa's "dutch logic" (as he calls it) helped me think through a difficult situation. His support was invaluable. Of course, there were those times Tosa earned his "pay" - the thanks and respect of the membership. He oversaw a couple of board moves, a few database corruptions, some ugly member crises and countless board enhancements. I can't even begin to imagine of how much time he invested in these boards - especially those unplanned events which I'm sure inconvenienced his personal life tremendously. His dedication to the Org of the past few years has been unsurpassed.

I'll add my voice to the choir shouting "Senior Member". Tosa has always shrugged off any accolades anyone tried to bestow upon him. Maybe now that he isn't running the show he will get (wanted or not ) some of the recognition he so richly deserves. Thank you Tosa for all you've done - for the Org and also for me personally.

As for those who must attempt to fill Tosa's shoes, I can't think of anyone better than Kukri and Ser. Congratulations gentlemen. Best wishes to you both. I know you two will continue to maintain the Org's fine reputation.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Thank you for your hard work, Tosa! Senior member, indeed. I can only echo the well-earned compliments to the only Admin I have known in my stay in these excellent boards.

And congradulations to Kukri and Ser, two excellent choices! I'm sure they will continue the outstanding work of administration set by Tosa!

High-fives and alcohol all around!

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Goodbye Tosa. God be with you.


I have the fullest faith in Kukri and Ser as administrators. Good luck.

[edyzmedieval]

Tosa should be:

Honorary Senior Member

He deserves more than Senior Membership!!!!!

[Beirut]

A man is sitting in an office waiting room. Down the hall a door opens and several men in expensive suits walk out. The man remarks to the secretary that they are very well dressed. She says, "They dress that way because one day they're going to be important."

A moment later a man walks out of the office down the hall wearing baggy pants and an unbuttoned shirt. The man waiting in the office remarks to the secretary that that man isn't very well dressed at all. She says, "He's the CEO, he dresses that way because he is important."

[Kagemusha]

Well sayed Beirut.

[Drisos]

My deep respect for tosa for the huge amount of work he has put into this place. Also, for his contributions to the stw mp community, and humour.

Good to know you will stick around.

Krukrikhan and Ser Clegane, Good luck! I'm sure you will do fine.

[Adrian II]

Well, Kukrikhan's avatar shows up red of a sudden, so I guess that makes it official.

TosaInu, I hope you are not retiring for reasons of bad health or anything else untoward that has happened to you. I have always admired your style and work ethic and you have a great great sense of humour to boot. I haven't been around that long and all I can say is your last decision -- that of appointing Kukrikhan and Ser Clegane as your successors -- is as judicious as all other decisions I have seen you make. Thank you for all you have done for the .Org and best of luck to the three of you!

[Togakure]

Thanks for your immeasurable contributions to the Org and our community, TosaInu-san.

Excellent choices for newb admins--Congratulations, Kukrikhan and Ser Clegane. It's nice to see people of this caliber devoting time and effort like this. Thanks, to all of you.

[BHCWarman88]

COngrats to TosaInu :-) :-)

[yesdachi]

Years from now someone will say “do you remember where you were when Tosa stepped down?” I’ll remember because I was in 2 feet of tapioca pudding (don’t ask). Good luck Tosa!

Congrats, Kukri and SerClegane!
