The congrats Craig Thread. And also Pydro.

Because other threads are locked.

Congrats man!

Couldn't have been a better choice for the job.

<EDIT>

Also congrats to Pydro on being promoted to Moderator.  

Mazel tov!  

Look forward to meeting you at PAX South!

Thanks, everyone. But who's this imprimis5 character?

New name! And lookit that pretty new badge!

Congratulations, Craig! Very happy for you and for GTG for taking this awesome step.

Out of all the Admins named Craig, you are my favourite.

That's sweet.

Congratulations!

It's spelled Craig, but it's pronounced "Fancy badged admin guy."

Also I see you are no longer a playtester, sorry about that man.

Yeah. That's the price to be paid. Every time it's playtesting time in the office, it'll be a door in my face.

No, that's for a different reason…

A new name, with a capital letter even! I'm impressed!

(congrats!)

Congrats again.  It will be weird for awhile to see the name Craig instead of Imprisis5

You should request a special badge for being the community manager.  The current admin badge is almost threatening 

How else did you think I would manage a community than with an iron fist?

Congrat, man.  They picked well.

That... that's actually kind of sad.

uh oh…nothing to see here 

Although he has passed on, there is still evidence of his legacy here, Imprimis5 will forever live on… in this posts where we quoted him and it still shows his old username.

Huh. I spot a hole for a new user with a fun name!

Imprimis5 is dead, long live Craig!

Hey cool, gratz on becoming an Admin. Hmm, iron fist, eh? Does that mean you've reached your Final Evolution, have been Galvanised into action and will maintain constant Vigilance, radiating a Demoralising Presence over everyone and carrying out a Beat Down on anyone who doesn't follow the rules?

Re: Playtesting, now Craig has to be part of the  playtesting we do here in the Greater Than Games Headquarters...

...with the cards that change halfway through games as I scrawl on them and the advance material from products way in the future...

Poor guy.

Does Craig now have the right to use smoke bombs after making vague and cryptic statements about the true history or future of the multiverse?

I once gave Craig a smoke bomb. One. He still has yet to use it. 

Maybe if he's really nice they'll let Craig hide behind Stealth Bot every once in a while.

Hey, I was also gifted a smoke bomb. I am extremely proud of it.

It's cute that Christopher pretends to forget that I stole his smoke bombs long ago.

So your plan to slowly take over GTG has already entered its next phase.

Well done, sir.  I've seen you work with this fine company in person and I know you will not disappoint.

Now you can add your Legacy perler to all of the others!

Yup! It may stay at home, though. Its currently keeping Mr. Chomps company, and I'd hate to separate them.

Thanks!

With a Luke Cage, Power Man for backup?

Congrats!

Congratulations Craig!

I think it is really awesome that GTG hired a well-respected member of their online forums to be in charge of them.

Respected? When did that happen?

I refuse to be thought of as well-respected. “Well-tolerated” or “Mostly harmless,” please.

Respected for being well-tolerated and mostly harmless.

When he got his own ban button.

Personally I think Craig is the swellest person ever.  He's charming and trustworthy and far too humble to ever admit it.

Is that what happens when someone becomes an admin, a ban button magically appears on their keyboard?

Right where the Windows key was, before they removed it with a screwdriver.

What fantabulous news! It's always a pleasure to work beside you, or rather in the same general square, so this is a great treat for everyone! As Peach might say, 'Suh-weet!'

How was the first day as the Community Overload?

I for one noticed the oppression had a bit of a minty tint to it today.

Oof! Busy day! I'm still waiting on the bone and hide throne, then I can start in earnest.

I hope it’s neon.

I'm late to the party on this thread, but let me just chime in quick. There couldn't have been a better hire than Craig. During the times I have spent with him, I have seen an intelligant and passionate guy that will be a great asset to the >G going forward. Congrats buddy!

Thanks loads! I appreciate it.

Who’s loads?

He's the temp who lets Craig know there's something to look at on the forums. Craig's now too important to check it himself.

Hey, I look at the forums when I see something that directly involves me. The rest of it, though? That looks like a job for Loads.

Citizen Loads and Citizen Unloads helped Craig move his stuff to St. Louis.

Ha. Citizen Loads was not present for my move away from Indianapolis. Every box, every piece of furniture, all done by yours truly.

Citizen Unloads was helpful. And then she and I ate pizza.

Citizen Delivery is my favorite.

Nice avatar!

Thanks!

Can't say it in the Announcements thread but congrats to Pydro for being made Moderator

Indeed, congrats sir

Very glad to have him as a Mod!


Congratulations, Pydro!

ALL HAIL PYDRO.

Drat, Siege-Breaker is now superior to Cursed Acolyte, now to hope that someday they will become equals again.

I don't know, I don't think Pydro contributes enough to the playtesting threads to be a mod...

I don't think you need to be a play tester to be a mod, there are other threads...

Heh, whether that's true or not, that definitely isn't a requirement to be a mod…

Twas a joke. He had a card named after him in GSF, because he practically carried the entire playtesting on his own by the end.

On his own eh?

Oh, yeah, I definitely know how much of an amazing impact Pydro (and many others) have had on playtesting efforts! I was making fun of my own lack of involvement as a playtester (while being a mod)!  Hence the emoticons.

Thanks, everyone!

Enough of the sweet talk, get to work and make this thread a sandwich.

Yes, sir!

(I have no idea how to do that. Great, I have been at this job for one day, and I am going to get fired.)

Enjoy, thread. Ironically, this is also what I'm having for lunch today.

Yep. Definitely on his own. I don't see any Foote turrets, do you?

Congrats, Pydro!
