In case you haven't heard....

Post by The Steward »

As most of you know, I am struggling to dedicate time to the SIM. When that happens to players I always encourage taking a break, cutting back numbers, etc. I'm going to be taking that tactic and in mid-October will be turning over day-to-day operations to Vincent Barratt, who is a man that 1. played the SIM extensively and brings a player's perspective into an admin role and 2. LOVES THE SIM with unyielding passion. Vincent will be known as the Entry Clerk within the SIM.

Vincent's first order of business is to bring back the SIMPERIOR EDGE. He's very excited about this, and I'm sure you all will be too!

I will still be around if you want to message and will call the broadcast races (although Nathan is picking up more and more!), but all your "regular" operations will fall to him.

This November will be the SIM's 25th anniversary (of real time), so I'm not surprised I need a little break. Fresh eyes will be a very good thing!

It's awesome that you're actually able to have someone by your side who can take over operations while your life goes crazy with kids, cats, and horses on social media. Hope the break from the sim grind is good, and welcome to Mr. Entry Clerk!

Have a restful break from the sim and when you come back full time you will be jacked to get back at it.

Oh and Vincent not plugging any young studs for the edge lol. But check out my younger mixer studs.

Glad you’re getting a break Emily! Many thanks to Vincent for stepping in!

And Kelly, Vincent bred this one and 112 other stake winners, so I’m confident he can help out in the breeding department as well!
