Stop all the clocks

We’ve suffered some body blows recently, but perhaps none will ever be as winding as the news I now deliver to you: Alice0 is leaving RPS. She recently celebrated 10 years here, so that should tell you something about how much of an influence she’s had over the tone of the site over it’s lifespan. Truly, the site won’t be the same without her - so let’s take the opportunity to celebrate here work here.

When I joined RPS she was our news editor, and made everyone who wrote for her a much better writer. She approached serious stories withanger and compassion, as required, but was even better at knowing what not to cover. And as for whattocover, well, her approach to news has always been broad. My favourite news Alice0 has wrriten are pieces like theone-twopunch about her mousepad, or when she wrote about Destiny with the resignation of someone who had played it for many hours - thedisappointing toasteror her wardrobe ofDestiny fashion. Occasionally we dragged Alice0 over to writing features, much to her chagrin, but when we did shewrote absolute belters. Edited this after publication to say that because she has written so much great stuff, I forgot about theTour de Jeux!
