zircon Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 After five years on the panel, it's time for me to step down. I became a judge in late 2004, not long after my second remix was posted. I didn't have a lot going for me at the time; Larry was particularly skeptical that I could do the job, since I had few credentials. But the panel as a whole took a chance on me and I'm extremely grateful I've been able to give back to the site for this long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hey, TO BE FAIR, I didn't say you'd never be ready, I just said I hadn't seen enough yet. The door's always open, Andy, you know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrypnyk Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It won't be the same reading through all the NOs and not seeing you involved in NOing a remix of epic proportions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotaki Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Whaaaat....this means i'll never be able to get NO'd by zircon on the panel. CRAP!!!! why didn't I send any tracks in the past 4-5 years! gaeithaoiheoaiehoih @.@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 The end of an era! Obviously, a huge thanks to the Aversas - both of them - for their time spent on the judges panel. Hopefully Andy can remain active & involved with the site in other ways; his absence will certainly be felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyne Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks for your time as a Judge zircon. I think it's safe to say you've done well as an asset to OCR and the community as a whole. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Good luck in all future pursuits, may your life be overclocked. Thanks for sticking around as long as you did! All your contributions are very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 What, all that judging getting in the way of Heroes of Newerth? To make up for this, you have to buy me TWO pieces of pizza at MAGfest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Robotaki: I would have never rejected any of your tracks anyway. Submit Manoria Cathedral, damnit! Dhsu / everybody: A problem for me is that while I often have access to my laptop (and can play games on it, post on the forums, post on IRC, etc.) I rarely have uninterrupted time to just listen to things in my studio. One of many reasons why it's not necessarily an "A or B" choice for me. Thanks for all the kind words ps. I do have a new mix coming up. It's done and in the queue - Team Fortress 2.

OceansAndrew Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I guess the highest compliment I can give is that Andy legitimately plays to win. Super respect for all you've done, OCR and otherwise. And of course you aren't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Aw, definitely gonna miss seeing your name on all the NO decisions, Andy. Hope you'll still be around and be a part of the community. Don't go all Gray Lightning on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Awwww... This is disappointing... I came into OCR while you were a judge, so it's as if a big part of OCR was sliced off... Do'h, good luck anyways (with whatever you're gonna do now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abg Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 This just means even more time for making remixes, right..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souliarc Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I have to quote BT/Heraclitus: "The only constant is change." While the past efforts made by you Andy are much appreciated and honorable, this change must only mean that you are doing great things elsewhere Have fun diving into your future endeavors! I can't say I'm not saddened to see that your activity will diminish around here, but I know it will be for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Wow, I wasn't expecting to see this. Well you've got a lot going for you, Andrew! Looking forward to your (and Jill's) future musics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Get out. So nice. Well, thank you, Andrew, for all you've done. I hope this is only one less facet you encompass around here and that you keep all your other forms of presence. Best of luck not-judging (so best of luck doing everything else), and I'll miss getting no'd by you, even though I don't think I have been yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
