Dude, you're being modest. YOU put us on the radar, Massively is just reporting on your creation. Take a well deserved bow, and thanks for attracting Massively's attention.

Another one from massively. Suggesting we should be jerks?  :o
Blocked here at work, so I can't open it to confirm, but I read it before I left home this morning, and the general vibe I got from it was that he's asking if we should be jerks, not telling us we should.  And, still going from memory here, I believe he answers his own question with "it's not time for that yet."

That's just Eliot and his fondness for dramatic titles. He's saying that NCsoft's new email address for campaign letters is taking advantage of our politeness, that we're being ignored now, and that we might be more effective by being more annoying. But ultimately, he concludes that he'd "rather lose our game than taint our legacy."

You guys got that one; over the last week we also had:

Being a mild-mannered reporter leaves so little room to punch things up a bit.

Thanks again for all your support, Bree. And thank Eliot for me, too.

I'd actually agree with that (the email address being ignored), that is.  Thanks again for all the support, Bree and Massively.

Easy to ignore something when it's not causing discomfort.

Not sure we have any fundraising going on right now, but you'd want to check in with TonyV on that. Welcome to the fight, brother. Together, we will triumph!

I think he say we might being too nice, that we shouldn't so really comply when NCSoft ask us to do stuff.

I think we should war chest for a Print ad in a Seoul newspaper of the MMO Meme for November.

I surely didn't do that on my own though. I forged a torch of a different color and handed it to the troops, with the simple message of, "Share it wherever you can." Heaven knows where they delivered it.

While I agree Tim is being modest....this really was a community collaboration. Tim just organized it and put the call out. So once again, mad props to everybody who was involved in the making of the video.

That video was well made, and whoever buys the game from NCSoft should put whoever made it on the payroll to promote the game.
