I have been blessed with the opportunity of a lifetime to go on a 10-day bicycle adventure with my son in March. I have already started a pretty intensive training program which has me in the bicycle saddle 5-6 hours per day. Some of you have probably already noticed that I have not been as responsive as normal, because it has had a negative impact on handling my Donk responsibilities. This adventure will begin to consume more and more of my discretionary time, and it will soon become impossible for me to perform the league functions that all of you Donks deserve. For that reason, it has become necessary that I step down from being your League Organizer and Host.
I have chosen puggywug to be my successor and effective today, we will officially start the transition so that he is fully prepared to handle every aspect of the job. Although he’s already capable of the handling the responsibilities, I’ll be consulting with him between now and March during this transition period. Why pug? Five quarters ago, he joined the Donks and showed an initiative for leadership by quickly volunteering to redesign and takeover updating the league’s leaderboards. Since that time, we’ve exchanged many messages about matters pertaining to various ways to make improvements to the league. Pug’s ideas have almost always been in line with my own philosophy for what this league is and what it should become. I’ve come to recognize that he is an insightful, impartial, and fair-minded person who has consistently helped make the league what it is today. In short, he has my endorsement for taking over the responsibility of hosting the league. I am sure that he will bring some new fresh ideas to improve the overall online poker experience of all the Donks and I am confident that you’ll all support him as our new leader. It is a very time consuming task and he is deserving of all the help that all of you can afford him.
I love all of you and want you to know that it has been a pleasure and a privilege for me to serve as your League Organizer and Host for the past two and a half years. You have all been instrumental in helping the Donks League become what it is today. Thanks to you, this league has exceeded my greatest expectations since it was first conceived in June of 2018 and I am proud of what you have all created. The quality of both the poker and especially the members of this league just keeps getting better and better. When I return safely from my trip, it will be my pleasure to support puggywug, our new Donks League Organizer and Host. I am looking forward to the opportunity to compete against all of you at the tables as just another regular Donk.
Thank you again for all you have done to make this league the most elite league on Replay and in my opinion the best poker league on the entire planet.
