Dear friends...

It's been a special honor and a big privilege to be elected as HDC President last year and lead you onward into 2010. For this sixth year of my tenure in here, I have seen this place go through several turbulent and cheerful periods alike. Thank you for supporting every innovation, idea and crazy concoction I threw your way and making it a grand success. Honestly, I feel overwhelmed every time I think of all the support and dedication you have given to me and have stood by me through thick and thin.

But, we are into the last day of 2010. Tomorrow, we shall enter 2011. And honestly, the state of affairs HDC finds itself in today is slightly appaling and alarming. And as every leader in history, I take the blame for it. Maybe it's time for new ideas, fresh innovations and new members to come to the fore and take the baton from people like us and modernise HDC and shape it into their vision.

Don't feel alarmed, my friends. Change is inevitable. I was new once myself, and I did my part too. So, with time, I must also gracefully step aside and let others come forward and manage the role I have been doing all this time.

My tournaments draw to a close slowly, and after tonight I will be shifting my computer to my new home. It is a fitting moment for me to step down as HDC President and give you a new President for 2011...

Before I do that, I apologise for not conducting this through votes and an election, like last year. I was afraid that all of you might re-elect me again, there's no doubting your love for me. I will be around, don't worry.

So, with your collective permission for this year at least, I would like to nominate your new HDC President for 2011...

It will be...


DOC FAUSTUS


I really hope Doc accepts, and leads you into a fantastic New Year. May he bring in some fresh traffic (and make some old members return), and we have a thriving and bustling HDC yet again.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Your New President -




Thank you. :)

Thank you, my dear friend. I would never refuse such an honor. Food for thought and warmth for my soul. I accept. May HDC flourish, grow and triumph over adversity! I shan't be such a stranger in 2011!

The Right Honorable Doctor President Faustus Esq. at your service.

Congratulations to all the winners, better luck next year to everyone else and a big thank you to the staff of HDC for putting on a great show.:)

Congratulations Doc Faustus. Hail to the chief.:)

Congratulations to all the winners and commiserations to the non-winners (one of Pres Doc Faustus' new rules, there are no losers on HDC!). Well done V & NE for another superb awards night.

Is there going to be a pledge of allegiance or swearing in ceremony?
