Conquer Club

It's my sad duty to inform you all that two members of TeamCC have retired from active duty.

As of today, Optimus Prime and Rebelman have ceased to wear their colours.

Rebelman slowed down his commitment a few months ago as real life began to demand his time and despite a valiant effort to balance work and more work, he has decided that CC is not the right place for him to be right now. Reb was one of our long standing chat mods, and someone always pushing us to improve wherever we could. He was a true asset to the team.

Optimus Prime, who was a Tournament Director who saw the Tournaments go from 20-30 running at a time to well over a hundred running at a time. His family needs him more these days and so he is stepping back from his official role on the team, but has said plans to keep running tournaments as a regular member - OP has organized more tournaments than anyone else.

Gentlemen, it has been a pleasure. Thank you for volunteering your time and everything you have done to make this community what it is!

wow, i'm glad the big robot will still be around... and i'd still love to show him my hippo dance next time i'm in his part of the world... sigh... thanks guys!!!-0

good luck OP, not to sure about Rebelman.

Are these 2 going to be the 2nd and 3rd people to receive the "special contribution" medal? I can't say much about rebelman, as I don't know much about him, but Opie is highly deserving of the CC gold watch.

Agreed to Tim, Optimus has done a lot to this site, I'd say a lot more than anybody else (or perhaps everybody together) in the tournament forums and his way and style should be example to many of us.

Great work, both of you!

Good luck OP!

You should have waited on retirement until we had our forums back

I also agree, Prime is one of the most deserving of that medal on the site for all the work he put into the tournament forums!

Good luck to you both!

Congrats OP on your retirement.

gl to both of you !

I didn't think we were going to lose them. The decision had already been made well before that.

How's your pension?

Good luck folks.

What happened to the whole "G1 is mah family!"

gl OP, its the first step in ending the CC addiction (although im glad to have you around still of course)

Both are great members of the website and I am sorry to see them leave their positions on the website. Best of luck to the both of them!

I hope not. Everyone with that has been fired.

Of course I kid. they both deserve it

OP we dont always see eye to eye but you have been a great tourney director
rebel a mighty fine untouchable (if not technically but a part of our history) and a great guy in the bargain.

We'll miss you guys. Best of luck out there in the real world. You did amazing jobs here.

I don't usually post outside of the tourney forum, but I'll make an exception here for OP. The tournament system is the best part of the city and a large part of that is due to Optimus Prime. Thank you

its sad to see rebel go. he was a good friend and ex-clanmate. and i think OP will probably get the medal, sooner or later.

Dunno Rebel by OP get's my made rolling the dice fun.

thanks all, i hope to still stay around as an ordinary member and (bad) player. It has been fun being part of team cc and playing an active role especially in chat. OP is now and always shall be a legend on this site. RL has to get the nod over cc right now but if anyone wants to contact me (eg. to take some of the few pts. I have left) you can find me on msn or skype or alternativly you can fire me a pm

Good luck and best wishes to you both. And, rebel, if you are a "bad" player, by all means, join as many of my games as possible! lol

GL to you both
