The Syndicate

I appreciate your words, pizza. Season 2 was a big deal for many of us who took part in it, and observing Turnip Head in your Game 3 (immediately after my Game 2) was one of the premier reasons I ended up migrating to this website in the first place.

Hello everyone,

I am afraid I some awful news. Our great friend and Syndicate original Turnip Head has passed away. It appears to have been quite recent, though I have no further details at this time. Our site has changed and grown a great deal over the years since its founding, and TH has been one of the truest mainstays within our community all along. I feel this loss deeply, and I know many of my colleagues on the site staff and among the longtime users will also -- as will our newcomers who have already had the privilege of knowing them. Turnip Head touched so many people around here both on the site and on our discord, and we're never going to be quite the same.

Turnip Head's brother has given me permission to pass this information along to the site. Most of us will be unable to attend the physical service. Still, we may use the Memory Wall on this page to share our fondest thoughts, feelings, and memories of our friend. Nobody is obligated to do this. If you wish to do so though, it would mean a lot to TH's family. Be aware that the memorial page does refer to TH with male pronouns. I ask that you please be respectful to the family's terrible grief and do not make public comments to criticize that. We cannot know to what extent pronouns were discussed.

This will be difficult for us to process as a community. If anyone would like to speak privately, feel free to send me a PM or contact me on discord. I would be happy to talk whenever I am available. We may also use this space to celebrate one of our site's best treasures.
