150 words isn’t fair. When you spend almost 5 real life years in a place, you make some EXTREMELY close connections and friendships. There’s absolutely no way I hit everybody, and I’m sorry.

@TheDangaZone – you’ve been here since damn near the very beginning. It’s still amazing I went to your wedding, and got to meet you in real life. You’re a tremendous person who I can always count on.

Since I’m in the “old Specters who are now Panthers” zone, let’s continue:

@FuzzSHL - <3 There’s something about awesome GMs named Joe. I’m so proud of who you’ve become as a GM and a leader on this website. There was always something special about you, and you’re really showing everyone else what it is. Keep up being fantastic. I love our late night chats still.

@slothfacekilla – you gifted me nitro just so I could do the spooky dance so many times. You’re such a lovely soul who truly makes the world a better place. Thank you for that.

Okay, onto the assorted Specters:

@Nictox – you’re always there with good advice or telling me not to be crazy. You’re such a good friend, and if overdoo wasn’t such a stud, I’m not sure id have been able to replace 70% of what you brought to the table as a co-GM. Overdoo covers 70.4%.

Speaking of @overdoo – I couldn’t want someone to get a J expansion team less, just because I don’t want you to go. Clearly, my letter of rec suggests that I *Do* want you to get one too, so I’m quite conflicted. ?

@SlashACM – Thanks for this PT. And for your help with lines. And for being just wonderful with everything else you do for me.

@Huck24 – you literally could go anywhere in the SHL to play and chase cups, but you specifically choose to stay in New Orleans to see the rebuild through. I can’t explain how much that really means to me. Most people would bail. Hell, most have. But not you. Thank you.

@frithjofr – Your comeback this season has made things even more fun. I’m so glad you’re semi-back in the league and I’m so happy for how successful you’re doing in real life too.

@Arkz @Amidships @leafs1997 @Pythonic @ckroyal92 @Wasty @Asked Madden @zaynzk @Mooty99 And all the rest because I’m old and keep forgetting everyone – We’re building something really special in New Orleans. This is the best group of people to go through this with, and each season from here on out is going to get more and more exciting with every win, every callup, and every milestone we achieve together. Let’s Get Spooky. (439)
