After 2 years at the helm, I'm finally stepping down as the leader of Agony's PVP University in order to pursue other things.

I'd like to say a big thank you to all of you who have supported the university over the past few years, whether as student, alumni, instructor, or any combination of those. It's been great to meet and fly with you all, and I hope that I've made a positive difference to your Eve experiences.

Thankfully, I'm leaving PVP-U in safe hands - the capable trio of Greygal, Sancho and Brititos will be heading up the admin side, and with Maudite and Sadamu joining our instructing team too there should be plenty of classes for you to sink your teeth into.

Please join me in welcoming this merry band of victims volunteers to their new posts!

As for me, I'm sure you'll still see me on classes every now and then! :P

Well done for carrying the flag for so long. I hope your replacements do as well. No pressure at all :P Edit - Maudite and Greygal certainly have what it takes to "front" PvP-U, they're good fun, said as much to them this week. Sancho, Brititos and Sadamu will hopefully not leave themselves doing the class prep. Come play with us :)
Today's word is :

MORAL, adj. Conforming to a local and mutable standard of right. Having the quality of general expediency.

Thanks, Azual, for such a great job with PVP-U! You've provided the face of Agony for a long time and I know I speak for a lot of people in EVE when I say that the world of 0.0 PvP would be a lesser place without you. You've been mentor and comrade to a hell of a lot of people and it was always appreciated. You've also made it a pleasure for those of us taking over the PVP-U duties. Your groundwork has made it easy for us to step right in and become part of this fantastic EVE institution. Well done!

You've done an awesome job Azual, thanks for doing it. I totally understand that with preparations for next years CSM elections you simply don't have the time for PVP-U. I am sure that Greygal, Sancho and Brititos can fill your shoes in that role, and of course also congratulations to both them and Maudite and Sadamu.

How it was... "Those who can't do, teach" :D
But seriously, avoid PB, it's nothing but a headache with 8 alliances trying to blue each other and pew pew each other as well... bloody mess

Oh noes! I've been hit with the stealth Admin bomb! I thought you liked me! We'll all do our best to keep PVP-U at the excellent standards you've set. I cannot thank you enough for what I've learned from you both as a student, alumni, and finally as an Agony member. It's not going to be the same without you. Hrm... maybe, just maybe, one of our class fleets will hear the FC say "Primary is Azual, Azual is Primary" ... May the targets be plentiful where ever your wanderlust takes you, Azual.

What you do for yourself dies with you, what you do for others is immortal.

King is dead, long live the Queen ! Its about time to make things run by a woman's hand and by all means; Hail to Azual for his great effort to make all of us a better PvP Capsuler for many years. Rest in peace buddy (or better crush and burn in fire alone in space) From now on, primary; Azual Skoll !

Thanks for all your efforts behind the stage that most students can only guess but never see, indeed a real altruist. And of course, for an RvBer you always will be primary (Mang told us so). :D

Sorry to see you let go the reins but the time has come. You did a great job and from what I have seen you are leaving PVP-U in very good hands. Thank you for all your work and congrats on all who will be continuing on the good fight; I mean University. Fly Dangerously. B)

The class and a half I was taught by Azual were quite a nice experience and from the other class and a half that Maudite taught, I'd say the PVP-U is still as recommendable as before. Sad to see you go (somewhere else), Azual, but I wish you loads of fun! Gz on the promotions to those that are now spearheading the PvP-U!

Really a pleasure flying with you, I think you took my first basics class which was my first introduction to this wonderful world of blowing up ships for fun :). Welcome to all the new bods, I hope to do a lot more flying with you in the future. Eklest

Cheers Azual - my first instructor and I owe you a lot. That class removed my fear of losing a ship and going into 0.0; made me actually enjoy this wonderful game. All the best chief!

Just adding my sincere appreciation for all that you have done as PVP-U Director, as well as an instructor. You were my basic class instructor, and as such, the cause of my ship-explody thirst :P Best of luck in your future endeavors!
