Farewell and goodnight!

Hey everyone, it is my sad duty to tell you all that this is my last day here at Telltale. If you had come to me 10 years ago and told me that I would work on Sam & Max or even get to write a bit of dialog for Monkey Island, I would have just laughed and laughed. But here I am, 3 years at Telltale and god knows how many episodes under my belt. Even despite all of that, I’ve recently been given the opportunity to go home and work with my dad, and as awesome as Telltale has been to me, you just can’t beat family.

Before I go, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all in the community. Telltale has done some amazing things, but so much of what we do couldn’t be possible without you. Your feedback, your conversations, and your constant attention have driven us to continually improve our games. More importantly in some ways, after we’ve slaved away late into the night trying to get these games done, and then to log onto the forums and see people ranting and raving about all of the little details they noticed and loved; that’s what really makes it all worthwhile. So thank you all! It’s been an absolute pleasure being a part of the community. I'll try to poke my head in on a regular basis once I get resettled, but in the meantime I have absolute faith that I'm leaving you in good hands with Alan, Jake, Sean and everyone else who posts here on a regular basis.

Sincerely,
Will Armstrong

    Oh man, let's hope Telltale retains its greatness without you and that you move on to bigger and better things! You will be missed. Good luck!

    It won't be the same without you.

    Gasp! Not you too!

    Best of luck, and thanks for the games, sir.

    Looks like a great opportunity! I'm stoked for you, I guess you won't have to miss the golf stuff in April anymore! ("Golf stuff". Clearly I'm a specialist).

    I wish you the best of luck back home at your new job, and I have to say it will be sad to log in these parts and not see your name in the "Currently Active Users" thingie at the bottom. Still, I'm very happy (and a bit sad at the same time).
    Once again, congrats, and good luck!

    First Nikki, then David, then Yare, now Will...

    Farewell, Will. You and all you've done here will not be forgotten.

    (And if that ain't fitting as a 3000th post, I don't know what is...)

    Another One gone? Aw, man. Oh, well. I'll give you something special anyway. Less than 3, man. Less than 3.

    Wow, Jake and Sean are really all we have left, aren't they?

    DUH! I forgot to thank you for being awesome, and always so helpful. Whenever I needed to quote someone who had given us helpful information on pretty much anything telltale related, I knew it had a very, very good chance to be one of your posts.
    Actually, you're probably the telltale employee I've quoted the most for that specific reason.

    You always kept us informed, which helped make telltale a company that we can relate to and communicate with. And you also had interesting stuff to say in other threads, as well. You were definitely a huge part of the community, and that part is leaving with you.

    So, thank you so much for always being so nice, keeping us informed and generally being a great guy. You're awesome.

    Oh, I also forgot to mention that you are one of the few JoCo fans on this forum. Aww, sad to see you go a tad bit more now.

    Good luck Angry Protector Warrior! Make proud your name! ^^!

    And... I guess this is normal, but well...
  • edited September 2010
    Well, I am not as awesome with words and posts as others, so I will just say

    "Goodbye"

    And make you feel guilty about all the people here who will be missing you...

    Now that's not sporty.
    Don't worry Will, as much as we'll miss you, it's because you were awesome in the first place. Also, we've gained something, because of the colour of wheat.

    Plus, Hassat, he's not gone forever. And this should be a happy occasion. He's going back home, and to a great job, and to his family and friends that are over there. I don't see what's sad about any of that. I'm sure he'll keep in touch.

    Aww, geez ....

    I would be lying if I said I don't feel a pinch of sadness at this news. But that doesn't even begin to take away from everything you've done here, Will.

    Thank you so much for all the help, info, and many other various and sundry things you've done for the community over the years. Best of luck at your new job, and please do keep in touch. :)

    Oh, Will! I will always remember your name in the end credits of the five chapters of Tales of Monkey Island, especially at the end of Chapter 3,
    when Murray sinks down to the ocean floor and babbles out the names of the Telltale team in the credits
    . :D Anyway, goodbye, Will.
