I am the bearer of sad news as well as good.

Two seraphs are stepping down and two are stepping up.

Firstly, we would like to thank Yak for his efforts in the nearly four years he has been staff at HG. We wouldn't have M2TWH & ETWH without his efforts and he was the staff member I always looked up to before and when I became staff. When I started the M2TWH history section, I nicked the code off his painstakingly built strategy section. We'll miss his humour & skills on the TWH staff team.

The other seraph stepping down is me. Unfortunately RL gets in the way sometimes and the end was nigh when my employer finally blocked access to HG at work. It is just not possible to devote enough time to justify my staying on as seraph. However, I can still be of use and will be staying on in what is surely my natural colour!

EnemyofJupitor has been a long time TWH'er and long time staff member of both BFME2H and TWH. He's already in orange so it won't be much of a stretch for him to take on the running of TWH with the other two seraphs. EoJ will be directly responsible for M2TWH. He's vastly experienced in this game and was the ladder leader until the arrival of Swamprat.

Terikel is of more recent vintage. He has been staff since Christmas day 2008 and has done untold amounts of work for RTWH (try counting the number of articles he has on TWH!) as well as other sections of the site, such as the Bardic Circle. He will be looking after RTWH.

Best of luck in the future to Yak, EoJ & Terikel.

It appears that I suck to an extreme level.
I cannot demote myself and more importantly, I cannot promote Terikel to orange. This shall be rectified ASAP.

Good luck to EnemyofJupitor and Terikel! And sad to see Yak and you go though Gaius, although truth be told I haven't had much contact with either of you as per my lack of M2TW

Does this mean that you're laying down your banstick Gaius? At any rate, it'll be slightly wierd seeing you in orange, and Yak gone...

As soon as a passing seraph takes pity and demotes me, I shall be red.

As for the banstick, amber is warning, red is danger. Make of that what you will.

Indeed, you do look ominous in red. Perhaps it would be a good idea to run for the proverbial hills...

Do I get my own chariot with which I can try to make them crash into each other and trample them when they fall out, Ben-Hur style?

Why would I need a dagger to practice sprinting? Or is this dagger-sprinting some new sport you've invented?

I'd like to give a big thank you to Gaius and yakcamkir for everything you've done for Total War Heaven over the years. Without you it'd be a very different place than it is now. Thanks!

Congratulations to Terikel and EoJ! Glad to have you as my co-seraphs.

Well, I can't actually top that praise.

I remember when Yak first got greened, and everyone rejoiced- RTWH was going to go on to bigger and better things. Oh, how right we were, and much of it was due to the man himself Thank you, and good luck.

And Gaius, well, he's not quite gone yet, so I'll save the inevitable flood gates we all know we'll have for our most beloved bugger with the ban stick and all around tough guy. But I'll say thank you for everything, from the direction you've taken the site to the articles written up.

Just remember, folks! It's downhill from now on!

I am sorry to see you two go, even though I only ever talked to you in the tavern. Nice drinking with ya! just don't get so drunk in the real world.

Congrats to Eoj and terikel! hope you bring even more to HG!

P.S: If you need help hacking the computer at work to go on HG then you just need to ask.

Hopefully Gaius will now have more time to spare actually on the forums.

EoJ, you rock. That pic of Indiana Colinius is awesome by the way.

Terikel, you'll do great and everyone who knows you knows it. Lykke til!

Farewell Yakcamkir. We all owe you a lot for what you have done for this site over the years. I take my hat off to you - or I would if I thought you could see.

To be honest I had been wondering if Yak was going to stand down, since he's been even more elusive than me.

As for EoJ, I practicly saw you as Seraph anyway. Terikel? Well, that was inevitable.
Nice drinking with ya! just don't get so drunk in the real world.
It's Gaius. I'm fairly sure he gets drunk evey other night.

Yeah. EoJ has been seraph in all but name for a while now but it was fun to remind him (and everybody else) that he was technically only a cherub here.
