I was moved by the ceremony, and I am gladdened by our new Amyrlin.
Eleyan's tenure was a time of maturing for the site, where its members were still discovering themselves, and the site was still discovering its purpose.
While that is an ongoing process, the site's personality and familial ties were largely cemented then.
Viv's tenure was a time of transition. With a major site change, the close of the series that brought us together, Rileygate, and Integration, Viv had one hell of a full plate of curveball after curveball.
I hope that Rhed's tenure will be much more relaxed, peaceful, and a time of growth and bonding for us. Hell, maybe Liz can even get a vacation
I actually teared up a lot too. :shifty I am very grateful I could witness the passing of the torch. Viv Sedai, thank you for all your awesome work and dedication. Your personality will still lead us in so many ways.
:curtsey
As a random aside, I started collecting pop tabs because of you right when I got back from the party. (Those cookies were so good--I think I've been trained!)
Rhed Sedai, I'm looking forward to working under you! Let's cause lots of problems together and do some awesome work! :fistbump RRRRRR! :evil
