Hi folks. I'm Matt Mihaly, the CEO of Iron Realms Entertainment. As I
wrote about back in December, in announce news #2605, Oleis replacing
Razmael as producer was necessarily temporary, as the former is soon
going to be moving onto a new career.

In the meantime, he's done some great work in terms of getting the
Aetolian ship righted and pointed in a good direction, which I'm
thankful for and I'd imagine many of you are too! Feel free to let him
know. :)

Today, I'm pleased to introduce you to Tiur (Adam Womack), your new
Producer. As many of you probably know, we ran a search for a new
producer recently, and Tiur got the job! He's a very old hand at IRE
games, having started playing Achaea 17 or 18 years ago as the character
Firefox (who founded the Shaman's guild back when). He also worked on
Imperian when it first opened (as Vahin), and since then has played both
Lusternia and Aetolia as well.

Although he hasn't worked in the games industry before (he was an
engineer in the oil industry previously), his analytical thought process
combined with his long experience with and passion for Iron Realms MUDs
ultimately gave him the edge over other candidates.

He's been working with Oleis, Razmael, Keroc, and the rest of the team
for a week now to get up to speed, and he's coming along very well.
We're going to keep Oleis on until the end of May though, to make sure
there's plenty of overlap and plenty of time for Tiur to get comfortable
with his new role.

Give a big welcome to Tiur, and be gentle - he's new!
