Hello

As you have undoubtedly noticed, the loadscreen provides you with deep insights such as to the verified existence of the hula-girl. I am here today to talk about a message that has so far been neglected:
"No animals were harmed in the making of MechWarrior Online. Only humans were harmed."

We (well, me, as I'm the only one right now) at the organization "People for ethical treatment of programmers", abbreviated PETP, are here to find out who was hurt and how.

Our world is more and more driven by a penchant for instant gratification. Programmers of MWO not only suffer abuse online, but are in danger in their real lifes. Too many programmers at PGI face the dangers of bodily harm when walking home at night, passing through a dark alley, when suddenly a knife-wielding malefactor bounds at them, yelling

"GIMME THE FINAL GAME OR I'LL CUT YOU!!!"

from the top of his lungs.

A truly horrifying situation. But we (well, me) at PETP have set our eyes on bettering the dire situation of the programmers of MWO.

You can help.

Please help by signing this petition to show PGI that you don't really want to cut the programmers until they give over the final game. Threatening, unblinking stares from across the street, or into their living-room windows, or into their cars while they are on the way to work, or into restaurant-windows when they are wasting precious time with food-intake or their families, are entirely enough.

Donations are also appreciated. If you have any spare MCs or CBs lying around, please donate. We will invest them into some nice, juicy piece of metal-*** and let the programmers themselves pilot a Mech once the game is finished.

In the past, I had threatened to cut the greater Vancouver area off from all Pepsi shipments... But now I see that my ways were overly hostile and dishonorable. I am signing this petition as a form of atonement.

Hahah lul
Signed.

Your views intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Now give me a pen to sign it, or I'll cut you.

sorry but i ironically signed a petition about not signing petitions.

[SteelyDan]

I refuse to sign a Insipid Peti... I just signed it, didn't I???
DAMNIT!!!

[Kenyon Burguess]

well written, and of course I wouldn't cut a dev for a final build early....but that hermes II I been asking for since [NDA], is a completely different matter.

[juxstapo]

I, for one, never said anything about cutting anyone....

...there was that bit about the dev's' private numbers on public bathroom walls though.

after facing the risk of legal reprecussions once before, I'll sign, as a gesture of "good faith".

I mean seriously, the voices don't give a $#!^ who signed what when they come a-callin

Petp... can you say that quickly 10 times without having to wipe off spittle from your chin?

[DI3T3R]

Totally unrelated question I'm asking for a friend of a friend:
How could one hypothetically get hypothetical spit out of a hypothetical keyboard?

[juxstapo]

Oh it happens mate.

'specially on shared computers.

OH, oh, I see what you're asking, ehehhe... I thought your friend's keyboard had managed to produce spit and has was wondering how it had happened.

Ahem

[StompingOnTanks]

Well, you could pry the keys out and dig the bits out I guess... Keys pop in and out right?

[juxstapo]

just suck it out

[DI3T3R]

I better lock the door first, before making out with a filthy keyboard...
