Our friend, fellow admin, and champion of the "short" reply, OrdoM passed away recently.
While this news was not unexpected - Ordo had been fighting bravely against prion disease for some time - it remains as heartbreaking as it is unfair.
Ordo was sharp as a razor, with wit to match. During the time we knew him he was pursuing a PhD, yet he still found time to volunteer here and help his fellow spessman.
In admin channels you were as likely to find Ordo pontificating on history or food or ham radio as you were anything related to the game. But you knew - no matter the topic - that his opinion was informed and valuable, and that he would deliver it with nuance, class and charm.
This community - and the world - is worse off without him in it.
He will be missed.
So tonight, should you get the chance, raise a glass in his memory.
…but be sure to break out the good stuff.
That’s how he would have wanted it.
