welcome back! I hope you had a nice wedding party with good music and weird little games and presents

And of course best wishes and luck for your marriage
(... have to ask, you didn't marry Roadbeer, did you? Does she know of your... special... relationship?)



So on topic, this time I made it in the right thread, here's your new fancycada:



You know you want it

No, marriage is something good! and fun! I even asked my wife about it and she said I'm right! (Ok she said "you're better right" but technically.... )

Marriage is annoying as it really cramps my dating style. I don't like the whole "I can only date my wife" rule. It seems like there should be some sort of exception to that every now and then.

Maybe you should take a day off or so, don't be too serious. He just came back from holidays and he was happy to "see" the community again so calm down man.

My rant was anything but senseless. And I consider myself a whiteknight.

You cant be serious. Garth is asking kindly for a new paintscheme and you rant in the Art Forum.

That's a No-Go.

And if you would just turn on your brain, you would know that he is just back from HONEYMOON and you ungrateful people still cry.

Where is Roadbeer when you need him.

He posted this yesterday. He's been on reddit posting like a champ. He participated in the NGNG Twitch stream today.

What the hell is your problem?

Take it elsewhere please. This is a thing that some of us like to do and a bit of a tradition with Garth and his Cicadas.

Back on topic.

Well people seem to like Garth's interactions with the community. After all, how much time could he "waste" by posting a few posts sometimes?

Keep it up, Garth, and may Kerensky bless your Cicada.

I have never done either.

You not seeing his interactions with the community is not him shirking his responsibilities or making light of anything.

If I am not seeing his interactions with the community, then they are insufficient. Interactions are, by definition, visible.

And I'm sorry to sound petulant, but I am not satisfied with Reddit or NGNG communications. Given the reputation of the former and the lack of a family-friendly filter on the latter, neither of them are accessible places for everyone, and thus both of them unproductive and inefficient places for a corporation to spread information. Interactions belong first on MWOmercs.com. I do not want to go to Reddit.

As proof that it is not only me, I simply offer the frequent observation that many on these forums are frequently unaware of what is said on Reddit and NGNG, and have to be told.

I am not seeing his interactions in the one avenue of interaction that I specifically want, and it does not matter if he is being extremely visible on the other, extremely popular, locations in which he can actually interact with the customers.

Waa.

[color=cyan]Wow, I missed a lot here, ok, here we go.

I don't post as much on the forums because we have a lot of people here already looking at this. I won't say I'm posting enough for you - only you can decide that.

I post on things like twitter and reddit because - 1) I'm the only one posting there 99% of the time, 2) twitter in particular is extremely fast, and I use it to post sales, etc anyway.

I do this here, the paint-my-mech thing, because people said I needed a 'unique' scheme, and people also seem to really like the idea that they can be a part of 'the game' directly. I'm no ... famous.. dev... guy.. like Chet Faliszek or John Romero or Gooseman Ming, etc, but I am someone who works at a company that makes a game they enjoy. Having the opportunity to do something fun like paint their Mech/Gun/whatever is pretty rare.

That said, I will work on talking more, here, when I can.

And to everyone else here, keep these coming! I'll probably have to lock this soon, I'm already torn on choices, haha. So thanks![/color]

Well, thank you for your response, Garth. I do see you addressing concerns over on Reddit and I appreciate that. I'm just concerned that a lot of people don't necessarily want to go over there (and may not be aware that there's even a PGI presence there). I simply see it as logical to use the game forums as the hub for important dialogue, that's all.
