Goodbye Raztaz MikaTheGoofball
After having been an Elite Guard Senior Moderator and Moderator for over two years, Raztaz decided it was time for him to step down and offer his green coat to the willows. In a Game Forum thread made at the start of this week he announced his decision, explaining that the lack of time to properly do his job was his main reason for stepping down.

The Buzz contacted several Elite Guard members and asked them for some final words about the former Moderator. Our main question being how they had seen Raztaz and how he would me remembered by them. Riserva said, “I still remember watching Raztaz do his thing even when I was a player. Good as a Moderator and good as a player. He will be missed, but I am sure he will do an even greater job as a player and will continue to contribute to the community in one way or another.”

Sabin said, “Raztaz was the longest-running current Moderator until his resignation. One thing that never changed is that he loves playing the game, and has a place in his heart for the BL community. I hope he finds what he was looking for in his return to playerhood. As far as I'm concerned, he'll always be welcome back.”

We ended with Andy, who said, “Raztaz will be missed, he was a valuable member of the Elite Guard team but now he is gone, I only have to kill Rod and I will be the undisputed king of the busters!!!”

Of course the majority of the players was also upset to see such a long standing Moderator resign. Although the Buzz could have gone deeper into the reason for resigning or asking more people for their feelings, we felt it to be unnecessary. Raztaz his resignation thread contained a lot of posts within a small amount of time, showing us that he will be remembered. The Buzz and probably most players will remember him as a fair and just Moderator who gave his best back to the game.

The Buzz would like to wish Raztaz the best in both real life and his future as player. You have done a lot for Bootleggers, and for that we thank you.
