New CSS Staff!
« on: March 18, 2015, 02:26:55 AM »
First off, I want to thank those of you who applied for the job. I had several great candidates apply, and it was a difficult decision to make.

In the end, one candidate stood out above the rest, primarily for the sheer amount of effort he put in to get to this point, so much where he could basically take over now as if nothing had happened if I really wanted him to (which I don't).

Please join me in welcoming Guint to the staff as our new CSS Co-Host, to become the sole Host at the beginning of Season 12.

We will be working out scheduling during the remainder of the short hiatus, but look for Guinty to host his first game this upcoming Monday. He and I will be switching off for the remainder of the season. Additionally, we will soon be beginning work on the format for this year's Playoffs, which are coming up fast.

Best of wishes to Guinty as he takes on this new challenge!

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Torgo has left the building. John and I never really cared for the way he presented himself.

That's a surprise... congrats.

Maybe now Guint will play enough games of CSS to get over the line. :)

Guinty and I have had a chance to discuss scheduling, and this is how the rest of the season is going to play out.

Because we realized that having two different people rotate constantly may get confusing after a while in remembering who to send bids to on which day, I will continue to be the regular day-to-day host through the end of the Playoffs. Guint will be handing statistics duty, and will be posting the weekly leaderboards.

Any "exhibition" games- including any of those for the Live Shows, any specials that might arise, along with any games after the Playoffs end, will be hosted by Guint.

TL;DR, continue to send all bids to me going forward. :)
