A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep From Turn, Turn, Turn by The Byrds Dear Friends: It has been my honor, privilege, and pleasure to serve as the Head Admin of CIV4Players (and CIV3Players before that). During the past 5 years, I have been involved virtually every day in the CIV Multiplayer experience, and it has enriched me, and I hope vice versa. It is now time for me to move on and pass the C4P baton to Canuck Soldier just like several months ago I passed the C3P baton to Nealcain. Pleasantly, at this time in my career, I have received a promotion and the demands at my job are great, as are the rewards. It's important to me that when I take on any job I do it well. If I can't devote enough time to perform the job with quality, then it's time to step down and let others who can take the reins. This whole thing is made much easier by the fact that Jon (aka Canuck Soldier) is extremely well prepared to take over and I'm sure the ladder will meet with even greater successes in the future thanks to his leadership. CS personifies to me the trusted advisor. His personal qualities including his integrity, his loyalty, his positive mature attitude are exemplary. I know the ladder will be in excellent hands. I plan to still enjoy playing the game, and I will remain available to the Ladder Admin Board to resolve any questions they might have going forward. Thanks to those who have supported the ladder and our efforts over the years - at the risk of forgetting someone, I have to thank Jon, Fried, Scott, Magzi, Levi, Speaker, longhorn, Neal, and all the TDs and past Admins too. It's been a wild ride - a fantastic time - I've made so many friends. Thanks to everyone. I wish you all good health, great happiness, and success in whatever you set out to accomplish. Sincerely, Hal aka SirPartyMan

Thank you Hal for everything you have done over the past 5 years, your contributions are to many to name here. I'll do my best to do as good a job as you have. And SPM will be staying on the admin team as a technical expert/consultant, and will help were and when his time allows. An ofcourse feel free to kill him in any games he makes it into CS

Hey y'all my work has taken away my time for civ as well as but when I got this email I thought I had to take some time to come and you all the best in your new position and thank you for all the good times. You were one of the first civ players I met in this league to recognize my skills and recruit me to Illuminati, by far my best experiences in civ4 come from my days of "getting ill" so I want to thank you again for having believed in me and being my friend. Take care and hopefully stay in touch,

PS 2 words that will always make me think of SPM "v.a.g.i.n.a.l. secretions" hahaha love ya man.

Bummer. I feel as though I have lost something.
The ladder community has increase the enjoyment factor of the Civilization franchise, IMO. Thanks for helping to create something that has given me much joy.

Bye SPM! I'd wondered why I rarely saw you any more. Hope everything works out for the best! Thanks for the years of C3P and C4P and inventing the CCC. You'll always be in my Civilization Hall of Fame I'm sure we'll see you skulking about the lobby from time to time... Take Care, Z
