Greetings my dearest Chirpies!

Today I come to you with a bag of mixed emotions.

Happy, because I get to introduce you to a great person you'll get the privilege to know in the near future.

Sad, as I am no longer going to work at the company that has been my home the last four years.

Excited, since my partner and I will be moving to a whole new country and continent - starting our adventure in the oh-so-horribly-hot Singapore!

And ultimately content, knowing I leave behind me a healthy, wonderful and explosively expressive community playing one of the best games I have ever encountered.

Yes, I am leaving Paradox for new ventures; my last day is February 20th. Joining this company as a freshly turned 18 year old from the eSports world you can probably imagine it's with a heavy heart I depart from this (nowadays pretty darn large) family. Alas, what would life be without a little risk? I can't tell you where I'm going yet but I am sure many of you will encounter me again, in one way or another.

Having that said I am leaving you in very capable hands. Please join me in warmly welcoming a long time Paradoxian, industry veteran and all round great guy: Graham Murphy AKA Escher! I'll let him introduce himself further.

Starting today he will become invested in the Cities community, gradually transitioning my responsibilities to himself. Please feel free to approach him here, via PM or other means of communication with any questions or concerns you have going forward.

Finally, in an attempt to tie my metaphorical container of feelings, I would like to express my intense gratefulness for having worked with you all the last year - and everyone else I've been involved with via Paradox before that. You are all amazing, passionate, entertaining, supportive and truly lovely people. I hope our paths cross many more times throughout our collective stay on the internet, gaming events or somewhere completely different.

Take care.

Regards,
John

I spent over 7 years abroad in 3 countries and I know firsthand that he will have an absolute blast! I (we!) will miss him badly but he will always be our Number 1 Moo!

Also Escher is a pretty darn awesome man himself so we are all in good hands!

You'll love Singapore Moo; my son and his family lived there for several years. I thought it was a beautiful city when I visited; well, as long as you can tolerate silly authoritarian rules. Goodbye and good luck.

Don't feel blue, be excited! Wow, Singapore eh? What an adventure! You lucky bugger!
It's not the heat you'll need to worry about, you'll get used to that. But the humidity, that'll take some getting used to. Invest in a couple of dehumidifiers for your wardrobe/closet to protect your clothes and leathers.
You've been an excellent community manager. Thank you for your commitment, patience, tolerance and humour - all outstanding qualities that will ensure your success wherever you may go in the future.
And... welcome Escher :p
