Hi friends,

I just received a letter to the effect that I have been granted a 3 years scientific fellowship. :)

The one and only downside of this is, that I have to take *quite* a long "time out" from the forum and the IGC. :(

I have to move, get accustomed to my future "working habitat" and get zillions of things done in the process. So I will not be able to seriously contribute anything until I will be "settled" again. I expect this to take a few months at least so I asked Paradox to remove my moderator-status and/or appoint new moderators as they see fit. I also have already informed Doomie about these brandnew changes in my life and am quite sure he will keep the IGC alive even without me. I want to thank all of You, who helped with the IGC during the last exciting months. It was a pleasure to work with You, gentlemen. :)

I sincerly hope You do not feel let down by me now. As soon as I got all things back on track again, I will return to see how things stand and whether and how I may still be of value.

All the best to all of You,

Hartmann
 
The best of luck in the future and I am sure that you will always be of value here.

Work and study hard but dont forget to take time out to "play"!
 
W-w-w-what???

But what we'll be going to do from now on? These forums will never be the same! forums worldwide will suffer a loss of representativity! ISP's will go bankrupt all around the globe!! NASDAQ will crumble to dust in hours!!!


Now seriously: I'm glad for your fellowship. I can easily imagine your efficiency as a professional by your awesome capacity as shown at these forums. Sincerely, best of lucks, Hartmann


P.S: I'm curious, what's your specialty?

P.S.S: At least, will you be able to keep playing EU? :D
 
Congratulations and best wishes Mr. H

Thanks again for all your efforts, the expertise you contributed and the measured approach you took to dealing with IGC issues.

You will be missed but your legendary status will keep us straight.
 
Congraduations! Real life is alot more important then any game. As it is the IGC is an excellent contribution to the EU community. Even a newbie like me can see that. :)

Thank you and best wishes on your new job,

Best of Luck Hartmann!

It is going to be rough pulling the whole weight of the IGC without you...
 
!!! GOOD LUCK MATE !!!

Well Harty, I wish you best luck one your fellowship. It's an opportunity you may not miss. So, good luck mate !!!
I'm confident Doomdark will keep IGC alive also :)

Right Doomie? :)
You do, pls, err, .... OF course you can... :D !!!
 
Congrats, Hartmann. It'll be a tad bit strange without you around here.
 
Congratulations & best wishes!

You will be missed. I wonder what the regency ratings will be? :)
 
Congrats, Hartmann!

Don't forget that the most important thing to a Ph.D is a snappy title and a naked lady on the cover...

I think that we will especially miss your diplomatic skills - the IGC is a tightrope with lots of people (including myself) pushing and pulling from different directions.

All the best,

David "Vandelay" Haskiya
 
Just wants to be a part of the choir, Congrats and thanks for your efforts from an EU newbie, but experienced researcher.
A good ph. d. thesis should not only have a snappy title and a naked lady on the cover, it also needs some smart quotes in the beginning of each section. You can find all you need in this forum !

Best wishes
 
Hartmann,

I will miss your work and fellowship on this project.

Congratulations on the changes in your life.

What i have respected most about you is your ability to understand moderation, to understand that 'grey areas' do exist in history, and to understand the balance between historicity & gameplay.

You will be missed.

Michael
 
Adieu
