TW600 - Gandalf the Black

I can't believe we're at 600 episodes. We've been doing this for 600 weeks. That's 11.5 years of Trivial Warfare. I want to say a couple of thank you's.

First, I want to thank you, our audience. The only reason that TW exists in the form that it exists now is because of your amazing support and love. In return we feel honored to get to know you, to grow with you, and share that love back with you. I hope you understand how much you are loved and appreciated.

Along with that, I want to say thank you to all of our hosts and others who have made huge contributions along the way. Chris, Carmela, Ben, Nick, Erin, Zahkia, Nikki, and Robear all get their flowers at the end of this episode and they are SO well deserved. What an amazing team! I want to go deeper though and express my gratitude to Kit for everything she does. I want to thank Joel Sharpton who was our primary editor for many years and is a wonderful friend. I want to say thank you to Marc Demeter, one of our first hosts and great contributor in our first couple of years. I want to say thank you to Scott Barber for being himself, we need more people in the world like Scott. And I want to thank Russ Friedewald who was our first webmaster and an absolute class act.

It's always dangerous to thank people because it's easy to accidentally leave people out. If I have failed to mention someone I should have please know that it was not out of malice and is not intentional. We have had help from so many people over the years and want everyone to know that they are appreciated.

This weeks episode is the conclusion of our host tournament. It's Carmela and Ben vs. Erin and Nick, Scott Barber is hosting. And It's time to play the game!
