Status Update (October 2)

[Heavy Ion]

I can't say anything better than what more eloquent people have already written here. But I will say, from my perspective, the way I feel now shows me how much I have changed since I became a citizen of this community. Instead of feeling angry, I feel focused. Instead of feeling resigned, I feel defiant. Instead of feeling sad, I feel lucky to be surrounded by this group of people.

One way or another we will win this fight and when we stand on the other side of this we will only be stronger.

[Chaos Ex Machina]

The rumor is interesting.

Chances are they consider any cash obtained through a buyout to not be worth the loss of reputation by admitting a mistake.

It may be a smart move to signal boost the fact it was profitable and encourage speculation in the audience about WHY they did such a bizarre action.

*Goes to Ouroboros*

Um, Mrs. Tilman, you can leave Ouroboros despite being dead, can't you? We need your help in Normal Earth...

Instead of feeling resigned, I feel defiant.

There's even a Defiant server. My main character is there. :)

[Segev]

I suggest we wait, still, at least until the word from the devs tomorrow night.

Possibly 'til the end of the week.

But yes, if it IS that they feel there is Face to be lost in selling because it admits a weakness, then we need to start causing them to lose Face for not doing so. We need, as well, to find a way to make them able to gain Face if they do sell.

[eabrace]

Yes and Bob let Chevy use it for free.

I am also from Michigan and Bob Seger once got booed at a concert and came to Michigan and got repeated standing ovations and so he has a deep love for this state. He has the soul of the working man in his music.

That son of Dearborn is the heart and soul of Michigan personified.

[MishaFox]

Agreed. I feel the dev's will have some more information for us tomorrow.

[Luna Eclypse]

Is it not as simple as "If you sell it, we'll lay off?" 'Cause if they do, I will. I don't care if they're concerned about showing weakness, they already are without having to admit it. It's a real straightforward solution. Sell the game, we'll call off the hounds and end this amicably. Don't sell the game, get ready for a PR sh*tstorm.

Another option we have is to visit our local farms, order bulk quantities of horse/cow/bull shit and then have it shipped to both of NCSoft's US HQ's.

They give us bullshit, we'll give it right back.

Disclaimer:  NO!  I'm not suggesting anyone do this.  I've just been laughing at these guys for a looooong time.

Not that I think anyone intelligent would, but don't actually do this.  It comes with fines and jail time.  Not really worth it to make a point.

[Segev]

If you guys seriously want a joking gift to send them, send them packets of tea or coffee. "To help you overcome your exhaustion and get back to the negotiating table."

<looks at how little wine is left in the bottle>

Oh, OK...

[Victoria Victrix]

Sending raw farm excrement is, indeed, a biohazard and illegal.

Sending this however--

--is perfectly legal.  And very apt, considering they are trying to sell us on corporate processed, high-grade BS.

[Black Gold]

To be honest, I'm glad they finally came out with this statement.  Absolutely none of us is remotely surprised they said what they did. This just means we can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop and get down to business doing what we do best. Be heroes and conquerors. We can now focus on what our next moves are. Then enemy has revealed their true colors at last boys and girls. Suit up!

[HEATSTROKE]

I dont expect the Twitch TV announcement to tell us much of anything in all honesty..

[Burnt Toast]

Yeah I wouldn't expect much comment from TwitchTV regarding the announcement. Hopefully people won't keep asking over and over as I am sure that will frustrate Hit Streak et al.

[Codewalker]

You know they will. If I watch I'm sorely tempted to not even allow FlashBlock to load the chat pane.
