He is untainted! While usually controlled as hell, today's live chat seemed more productive than past ones.

HA HA fuck you, Roger. And don't vote for Obama.

Savanja

Most everyone has been out on vacation. Red names have been scarce all around.

Grim seems okay so far. I haven't had a chance to poke at him enough to get a solid opinion.

RadarX

eh...I dunno if I'd say that. There were the usual barrage of stupid questions like "When is Frostfell ending" or "Is EQ2 coming out on the PS3." I'll admit the info about Unrest was nice to finally get, and the raid PvP question got a decent answer. I don't really blame the Devs so much (who ignored my question about changes to the Guild Recruitment Tool thus giving me my answer) but more us for not asking better questions.

I wouldn't be surprised if Joel left SOE. Everyone knows he wanted to be the Community Manager and I doubt he is happy someone got brought in from the outside to do the job he had already been doing. Plus Joel will have to train that new guy to be his boss.

Who knows, but it'll be interesting to see if Joel stays with SOE.

Nurta

Poor Joel

Yeah I doubt some dickhead reposting screenshots of personal conversations with him solidified his position at SOE. Hopefully he'll find some happiness in his work though. You almost sound genuinely concerned Gaige. It's touching.

Calthine

damn, think I stepped in some sarcasm.

Yeah, shame he didn't get it. Hey, I wonder if somebody posting private conversations with him, and betraying his trust by screenshotting private forums may have hurt his chances at getting this position?

The only thing I posted was that my play account that I pay for got threatened because of things I did, supposedly did, or would do on my mod account.

Which I think is bullshit.

You said yourself the rumor was I outted the mods and blah blah. When your buddy Aster was outting the mods left and right to cyber chicks. I guess Sav didn't cyber good enough for him. So when I'm accused of bs like that of course I'm going to defend myself.

Am I supposed to feel ashamed that I defended myself and my play account over things that didn't even concern it? No. He should've never brought my play account into it, and he should've never been hypocritical about me posting here while Savanja posts here all she wants.

I like Joel, he is a nice guy. He just had a hard time balancing everything and telling people what was what. He tip toes around a lot trying to please everyone, and you just can't do that.

As for concerned, meh, its his job and my hobby. I'd hate to see someone lose their livelihood over bullshit, but you can't pin it on me Radar.

If so maybe in future positions he'll learn to be more picky with who he selects, what he tells them and how he treats them. Maybe he'll learn to be fair and impartial, instead of making up rules for individuals.

Maybe he'll realize people like Aster are untrustworthy, people like Mawie go on power trips and people like me screenshot and log everything so when ppl try to bullshit and make accusations they can defend themselves.

However, despite trying to give me the credit, I somehow doubt that I'm the reason that Joel isn't EQ2's new CM.

I mean hmm, I talked to Moorgard for way longer, about way more, and you have never seen a screenshot from me about any of that have you? Nope. Wonder why.

Darammer

Because... MG wielded more power than Joel? And is still wielding that power in a new company, whose product you have yet to see but may be interested in at some point in the future? So, since being petty and vindictive can't amuse you at the moment, you're not gonna burn THAT bridge just yet?

Just my guess.
