Mithrandir Sails into the West

[mithrandir]

After nine seasons as GM of the New Orleans Second Line, the time has come for me to retire. I will be stepping down to devote more time to my education and career. I had a pretty unremarkable tenure. I did not win any rings. I never was even close to a GM of the year award. I did, however, have a lot of fun. I made friends with so many NOLA users and GMs from other teams. I made some good draft picks and some I regret. I did the best I could to make NOLA a better team and a better locker room. Time will tell if I succeeded, but I am excited about the core of users with young players and I hope the team will continue to get better under someone else's leadership. 

Thanks, @TomHanks and @IsaStarcrossed for drafting me. Thanks also to @ddrector and @GuitarMaster116. You two are really excellent people that I am happy to have co-GMed with. Thanks to all the users who helped make NOLA such a good and wholesome corner of the internet. Thank you to all the GMs I shared GM chat with. We had so many fun conversations over the last nearly two years. The ISFL community has been so good to me through a couple of difficult pandemic years, and I am grateful to each of you who help make this space a better place.

Thank you Mith for everything you’ve done for the NOLA franchise. I am glad you guys took a chance on me with the 13OA pick in the S28 draft, and look forward to you sticking around and continuing to be a big part of this league and especially NOLA

Enjoy the retirement, king!

Thank you for everything you have done for me in the league Mith. You brought me into the league way back when you were the Tijuana GM, and again drafted me as the NOLA GM. It was a pleasure to work with you and be your Co. I hope you get some well deserved rest and finish your education and get your PhD! You are one of my best league friends and even though we may have not had much success together, I don’t regret a minute of it.
