IceIX: Farewell Sweet Forumites

IceIX

Hey all,

It's been a crazy run with D3 and with MPQ and MtGPQ in particular, but it's time for me to go check out other things in life. Today will be my last day with the company, and obviously with working directly on Marvel/Magic Puzzle Quest.

The great Elder God Cthulhu has been training as my understudy for the last little while, and under his capable tentacles and David's watchful gaze, things should continue much the same as they have been.

Even despite the occasional eruptions of flame threads and forum explosions, this forum has largely been made up of a ton of level headed, intelligent and great people that I've loved to interact with, either through posts or meeting in person at one of the various cons. You all have made working on these games so much more fun and interesting than any of the dozens of boxed products that I've put out over the years.

I'm still planning on playing the game (both of them), so when you see IceIX out there, please don't snipe me.

Cheers and to all!
IceIX - Joe Fletcher

Good Luck Ice!

Good luck Ice. I really hope you are not resigning because of us crazy players! I am sure your role was very difficult but overall you have always tried your best with improving this game even if at times we disagree with the changes.

Best wishes on your continued success.

Nope, not at all. I meant what I said above. It's just become clear to me that there are other things in life that I need to try, and working in an office on the same games year after year won't do that. Not that I don't *love* the job, just that there's other stuff out there.

Fair winds and following seas.

Thanks for all you've done on the forums and the game. And thank you for putting up with all us crazy (impassioned?), obsessed (dedicated?) and loud (vocal?) fans.

Best of luck to you in all your endeavors.

Yeah, I can see how you might not want to be developing the same game forever and ever. Good luck in the wide world. You'll be missed here.

And welcome to the new overlord, too! Ia! Ia! MPQ fhtagn!

Der_Lex

Shame to see you go, you've always been a very informative and fun person around here, but I certainly don't blame you for wanting to expand your horizons. Best of luck, and I hope your new road in life will be even better than you're imagining/hoping it will be.

Good luck and best wishes Joe. We will miss you!

SolidQ

We miss you! Anyway good luck!

Sweet life, destiny, met me on a small trail. Pointing to my feet she smiled into my eyes, and disappeared. When in that moment I beheld so many more paths that lay before me. I chose. And stepped forward. More sunrises than sunsets to you my friend. Excelsior!

GothicKratos

Good luck! I hope you stick around the forums and Line. You've been a great influence to the forums and you will be missed.

And welcome to the Eldergod! He's been a delight so far in my exposure, so hopefully we'll see a splash of that here on the forums soon.

Best fishes for the future, Joe! Just remember, when you're driving that Nascar racer, DO NOT nerf the brakes. Just trust me on that.

IceIX, we will definitely miss you here! Thank you for all your help on everything! Good luck and Best Wishes!

Good luck IceIX. You have done a great job being engaged on the forums and being willing to answer questions on the game.
You will be missed.

Good luck to you and thank you for all the hard work you have done!

You'll be missed IceIX, C'thulhu will have big shoes to fill with its many writhing pseudopods. May every move you make in life from now on cascade on a 5-match (unless your opponent is Jean Gray, that is.)
