The Coup has Succeeded!

The social revolution is here!

After long, covert operations to overthrow the evil Newspaper Dictators, the proletariat has finally overthrown the corrupt bourgeoisie as prophesied, ending years of exploitation and taking rightful control of the means of Newspaper production... 

 

Alright, on a more serious note, Night and I are both stepping down from the Newspaper Admin position due to significant real-life priorities (not the oppressed proletariat, pls) taking over. Feel free to weep at the loss of these two great Newspaper leaders as you read on to find out more  :unsure: 

 

 

@GoldRock: As the title implies, I’m stepping down from the Newspaper Admin position and from the Newspaper completely. @TheZigzagoonThatCan (@Shedinja's new main account) will take over as my successor – I have spent the last 1.5 months working closely with him to train him for the role, as well as having written a typical Goldy-style 30-page “Admin Guide” with all the necessary information and know-how for a Newspaper Admin. He has proven himself to be very capable, dedicated and organised, and I am very confident he will do a great job.

 

The main reason I’m stepping down is to shift all my focus to my real-life priorities. Recently, after a lengthy admissions process involving written statements, tests and interviews, I found out that my application to study Politics/Philosophy/Economics (PPE) at Oxford University has been successful and my chosen college has given me an offer. So yeah, that’s a pretty big deal, and I want to make sure I get good end-of-high-school exam results (the offer is conditional upon me achieving certain grades) as well as preparing for my university studies. Except for a few occasional visits, I will also be leaving the game, forum and my Tanki Skype account. So I guess this is not just stepping down from the Helpers, but also a goodbye from me. I might log back in and visit the forum very infrequently, but no guarantees!

 

Before I go, I’d like to take the time to thank all of you, readers and friends, for being awesome people. I’ve been involved with Helper projects to contribute to the community in various roles and teams for something like 3-4 years, and I’ve made great friends (who I will certainly keep in touch with beyond Tanki) and gained some good experience during that time. There are frankly too many specific individuals to list – all of the people in this community who've supported me along the way, you know who you are!

 

So yeah, to all you readers: keep on being awesome  ^_^

 

 

@Night-Sisters: (sigh) okay, this one hurts...Tanki has been a deeply influential part of my life over the past years, and writing/administrating for the paper was a wonderful experience. I've made amazing friends who have helped me grow as a Christian, a person, and a writer, and have so very many good memories... however, I suppose even the best things must eventually come to an end, and I find myself without enough time to adequately complete my duties in the paper. Blame college, life, and the NS. I will be leaving the paper completely in order to focus on school.

 

A huge thanks to all of the reporters I've come to know and interact with over my year in the paper, but a special shout-out to @Shedinja, @GoldRock, @Phoenix-Warbird, and @tweezers - thank you for all the conversations. I can't even begin to express how much that means to me.  :)

 

Thanks guys, it's been good.

You will be both greatly missed in the Newspaper not only as administrators, but also as two of the most influential writers paper ever had. It was pleasure working with you both. All the best with your real life commitments and ambitions. Drop by sometimes ;)

[Blackdrakon30 2,943]

I'd go write some touching stuff or somewhat, but Flexoo pretty much already said everything I would have said.  :P

 

Just know that you will be missed, and I wish you the best of luck.

Farewell, @GoldRock and @Night-Sisters. It's been an honor serving with both of you, and it'll be a likewise honor to serve in your place. It won't be an easy task to fill your shoes, but I'll try my absolute best to lead as y'all did. I'll personally miss the both of you as both administrators and close friends; hopefully, we'll be able to remain in touch.

The first 2 reporters I got to know personally through AWC which turned into to fantastic admins, there can't be enough good things said about you. Hopefully, we can still enjoy the occasional skype conversation. It has been a pleasure working with you these past few months, either in AWC or as reporter and admin. Best of luck in your college endeavors. Just remember that you always have an open spot on the team.
