New team captain has been appointed

Chicken Patty · Oct 25, 2013

Hello all,

So I was talking with a few peeps and I think its best I pass on the throne. I've taken on new challenges recently and I honestly don't have much if any spare time. I have already appointed Norton as captain. He's done a great job updating threads and helping out and is active a lot. Me as well as all of you are sure he can do a great job. So let's give him a huge congrats on his promotion.

As far as me, I'll still crunch and be around, for those who might have asked.

In the next day or two I'll get the titles and all the threads changed accordingly.

Best of luck to you and your pursuits, D :toast:

It doesn't even seem that long ago that you were appointed captain- time flies. You had an excellent run; thank you for all your hard work :respect:

Norton is the absolute best pick for the next Captain. You're leaving the position in great hands.

The Captain is Gone... Long Live The Captain

You are filling some "big shoes"

BUCK NASTY · Oct 25, 2013

Your a natural choice Norton. When I google'd "Crunching WCG", look who showed up in the results :laugh:

Peter1986C · Oct 25, 2013

Norton has de facto be our "captain" for quite some time, so he indeed is the best choice CP could make. Congrats Norton, now your promo is official!

Mine already size 14

However, you are correct.... there is no substitute for our captain :toast:

BUCK NASTY said:

There's a lot of us there when you do that image search

AlienIsGOD · Oct 25, 2013

one question remains, who is taking Norton's spot as Assistant Captain ?

Peter1986C · Oct 25, 2013

That role will be on a spontaneous freelancing basis and depending who is online much in that particular period in which an assistant captain is needed.

Chicken Patty · Oct 25, 2013

Well, ION was already an assistant captain...

AlienIsGOD · Oct 25, 2013

well thats a vague answer...

we have always had 1 person as capn and 1 person as asst capn, i dont see why we would change that now.

Arjai · Oct 25, 2013

Congrats, Norton! Now Captain Norton!!

CP, you were and always will be 'Da Man!' Sad to see you go but Happy that you are growing into your own career.

Norton is a very capable next step in the Captaincy.

I am extremely happy for you both!

TPU could not be the best, without the best in charge!
