Recently, the following image (and other, less reprintable ones) was broadcast repeatedly from an HPG in Capellan space to multiple FWL media companies, distributed by datastick to many university datacenters, etc. etc. The responsible party, despite multiple cries of innocence has been sacked.

By sacked, we mean he's now feeding the fishes with a string of fifty-kilo tilapia kibble bags chained to his leg. If he's fast enough, the Chancellor in Her mercy has decreed that he will not be assisted in his new duties by being immersed in the fish pool while still attached to approximately 350kg of feed, followed by a more direct method of aiding the Confederation's aquaculture (vs. his previous occupation in the "culture") program.



Rumors that this was some kind of "frame job" done by Kuritan propagandists will be investigated, of course- wanderer.

The obvious solution for Marik is to hit Liao

This is only obvious to those who are dishonourable, such as clanners and Davions. The Dragon, after being informed of this, hence fears for its staunch ally Liao, as it is clear to all that Marik is equally as dishonourable as its fellow clanners in the north.

The obvious solution is for more chlorine in the Ghost Bear gene pool.

We only believe in stabbing enemies repeatedly in the back. Slandering our allies is something we prefer to expose to the harsh, cleansing light of justice.

Except for that guy in the tilapia pool. He slipped. It's really murky down there with all the excited fish and fish by-products, but we got him back up before he turned too blue.

That'd be the fault of the SW:TOR servers being down.

Or his sudden realization that TOR is a steaming pile of crap.

Hey, we're throwing rocks in glass houses doing that here in MWO.

I haven't played SWTOR since launch but I'm pretty sure even John Romero circa Daikatana would have taken a look at SWTOR's development cycle and said "this is a bad idea"

[wanderer]

Oh, I'm not saying SWTOR is good. I'm saying MWO is a bad game that we still love because it's often the only fix we have.

And so is SWTOR.

[Wildstreak]

I tried SWTOR with one character.
Something about the combat mechanics I didn't like.
Plus the one time I got in a group to do certain missions, we just ran about silently wondering what each other was doing. When chat finally occurred, one guy did not participate, might have been a language barrier.
Been a while but something(s) just did not sit right with me.

Yes, and then Peter Molyneux said 'Actually, it's brilliant! They actually... put the features IN? Like, in the game? How do you get them from the wild promises you made actually into the game? FOUL SORCERY! LIES AND FOUL SORCERY! BLAME THE PUBLISHER, RELEASE IT UNFINISHED AND START A NEW GAME ON KICKSTARTER!'

EA meanwhile is trying to release a version of it as a freemium game made for tablets but first released for $60 on PC.

Subject: Unknown Transmission from Cappellan Confederation - Number 22100101ZBY-2231-ZU


Commander,

I'm still running the original transmission through my translation program, but so far, it seems nothing intelligible was actually written. Either the person who composed it didn't know basic English, or the message itself was nonsensical noise. Perhaps it was an industrial safety video that was garbled and transmitted by accident.

As it seems the originator has achieved 'ultimate oneness with the hydroenvironment', I assume we will never know which was the correct case.

Next time you send me something like this, at least have the decency to send along the planet of origin. For all I know, the transmitter of this message was an ape! Now, if you will excuse me, I have to get back to editing the latest Captain-General Cereal commercial (I don't have the heart to tell the man that the cereal is closer to armor sealant than breakfast food).

Your Faithful Servant,

<Redacted>

And so did I. There's a 50 Trooper rotting away somewhere, long forgotten amidst the level cap raises and all that jazz. I watched the server population implosion and the desperate salvage of the game into the F2P it is today.
