I can honestly say that my first year of membership in Viridia - from April 2008 to ~June 2009 - was an amazing ride, and I wish that I could go back and relive some of those times.
Huge thank you's go out to Argin, who entrusted me with completing a billion dollar aid fall and thus hooking me into Finance, and Sally/Salticus, with whom I collaborated to run an incredible Econ department. I also wish to remember those who moved on, specifically my good friend and inspiration, Raskull. He was always reading my mind and never afraid to work hard. Unfortunately, he disappeared with no notice, so I hope everything turned out well for him.
Then there were my compatriots, my friends, my esteemed colleagues - Ray, lost, LintWad, Cards, HS, Kyber, KK, im317, John Michaels, Otisburg, Audran, Shrike, Jean, Chuckles, Sol, Smooth, Corn, bergini, Logan, SN, forsberg, Chief, Morey, BW, Gop, MacNeill - the list goes on. There are so many others with whom I worked that I will never forget, and if I were to name all of you, it'd take several hours. If your name is not here, it doesn't mean that I don't care. You are all equally ->
