Bjørn Ironside Calling It Quits

[IsaStarcrossed]

Due to pure anguish from not being able to be a member of the New Orleans Second Line under Juosu, I have decided I need to hang up my cleats. Every day I dream of playing for Juosu and TomHanks but sadly circumstances haven't allowed that to continue. I am simply too grief stricken to play my best, and I don't anticipate that changing. At no point during this resigning and hiring process was I consulted and I am grief stricken. Now without Juosu leading me, my life as a player no longer has any meaning. I love all of my doots and pray for their continued success. Long may Juosu reign.

How do you say goodbye to Bjørn Ironside?

At this point, there is little doubt I have mentored many during my time here; it is, in fact, part of my job description. But Bjørn holds a special place in my heart, because he was one of the first. Since Bjørn entered this league, he reminded me so much of my own precious player, Bubba Thumper, and indeed, as Bjørn reflected Bubba, so too did it seem @IsaStarcrossed reflect me. He shared the same enthusiasm I entered this league with, and he showed the same drive to succeed, to be the best he could be. But ultimately, I can say with some degree of certainty that I was wrong to say he reflected me. He is so much more than that. Bjørn quickly and easily surpassed the bar set by Bubba, and so too did Isa surpass me in every single way. I take great pride in that now; I am fortunate that I was able to play even a small role in the development of both Bjørn and Isa, and I am thrilled to have seen the both of them prosper.

So, how do I say goodbye to Bjørn? The honest answer: tearfully, but with a smile on my face. It is sad to see my first mentee make his way back to the mountains, but I know that more greatness is yet to come from the user he leaves behind.

And, of course, it gives me comfort that I can at least best Bjørn in terms of longevity.
