Welcome back, War Witch (Vancouver high-fives)! And good luck to Second Measure in his future endeavors!

Congratulations Melissa and Nate!
Wasn't Melissa already at the helm once already for a while? Welcome back to the wheel!
i'm now imagining City of Heroes as a wheeled battleship rolling across the Northwestern prairies making pirate sorties before returning to its lair in the Northern wastes.
Sort of like this...
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

You know.... when FREEDOM was a super sekrit project, we were told Devs were being moved to some other project and the want ads were for people working on exciting new projects and a next gen MMO.
Jus sayin.

This news... It intrigues me. What are you people doing?
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Gratz WW, and Gratz Nate. I now know that this game is in good hands and my bribery options for Paragon's new project have just doubled, so that's a win all around.

Awww...Before GR good times, that was a long wait.
Now Freedom, and waiting for CoH2.
Grats to both devs, specially Melissa!
Pardon my ignorance, but wasn't Melissa already in charge? Or when CoH:F launched, did Second Measure take over and he is now giving the reins back?
Either way, congratulations to both!

Congratulations, Melissa! Great move for you within the company. I think it's well-deserved and may it see more success for you in the future. 
That being said...it's abundantly clear that Beyond Thunderdome: The MMO is in development, so I formally suggest that Australians get into the Closed Beta first so we can do QA on all the dialogue.

The only thing I have to say about this change is ... War Witch gets to *LIVE* this time, right?
It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
Hey all,
Thanks for the well wishes.
To sum up:
- Nope, I didn't go anywhere, just been working behind-the-scenes more
- Yes, I've been at the helm, as Lead Designer getting Going Rogue out the door (then moved into a more producery role with one, then two strike teams)
- Yes, I've been around for a long looooong time (longer than anyone currently on the project - ooo, scary!)
- Posi and I have worked together for so long now we may as well be siblings
Now, of course, I have to come up with a new title for myself since "Queen of World Design" no longer applies. I'm sure you guys could come up with something catchy.
Goodness knows, Zwill keeps taking stabs at it.
Anyway, thanks all for the really nice words and I hope to do you (and the game) proud! No pressure. :P
War Witch
P.S. And even though Zwill mocked "that phrase" -- I have kept to my word and not uttered it. Even though they torture me with "that phrase" at work constantly every chance they get.
P.P.S. Hat Day was a smashing success!
P.P.P.S. I had to change my signature and I love this quote. It was either that or, "Be cool, Soda Pop." (Someone should know who uttered that and in what movie.)
"The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not a bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly."
(Jim Rohn)
Thanks for staying with us, War Witch. I'm sure you'll take it to the next level in a way that makes every other 'the next level' look like the previous level.

Haha, well that's gotta be from The Outsiders... I can hear Matt Dillon saying it, but I'm not sure... And I'm not searching and cheating, so there we are then!
I liked your old sig, but I like this one a lot too. Although, sometimes the reality of it seems like whatever you do, be ready to accept that someone's not going to like it or how you did it, haha... I have been known to be a bit jaded though.
Nice to see ya 'round, WW!
