Umm, just to clear things up.

Moderators do not have any power, sway or influence over the game or the developers. We are community members who volunteer our time but other than a little green member group banner denoting us as moderators, and a few extra buttons to push here and there, we are simply players wearing a different hat.

No, moderators do not have any special access to alpha or beta releases and no we can not send out invites to the general public, even if we wanted to we do not have that access nor that power.

That makes the argument on whether Metro would show favoritism or not irrelevant because he simply can't; even if he wanted to.

I understand some of you realize the previous few posts are in jest but to new players who may not be aware? This post is for you!!!

So in short, the rule is:

"If the player's avatar shows a PGI logo AND the user name is NOT "Paul Inouye", then the member has direct control/influence over the project.

Got it.

Amusingly enough, Paul has a lot of direct control/influence over the project, more than you would like Aegis.

Right, he should already know! But it could also be that his fingers only want him dead! :)

Boy that Play Test Friday must have been something amazing? Can you imagine 3, count 'em THREE, Atlas mechs bearing down on that poor Jenner?


Heck a try there Mason... Ever try to derail a train?.... Oops, I guess you just did. :)

"So. Uh. We have one mech modeled."
"Uh huh."
"And its a Locust."
"Yup."
"So we're going to do a play test today....
"As Locusts, right."
"Should we tell our customers on the forum?"
"No, no, we've been promising them cool stuff like Atlases and you, know ...stuff! We come clean, they'll lynch us."
"We gotta tell them something. I mean, look at Valve - how long have they been sitting on the fact that HL3 is already built? The only reason they havent been attacked by pitchfork wielding nerd mobs is cause GLaDOS keeps nervegassing anyone who comes near. We dont have that kind of a secuirty system."
"Hey, we got a Bass Pro Shop game. Whats Portal next to that?"
"True, true. But we gotta give 'em something."
"I know, we'll tell 'em we're 'play testing' and let them assume we're duking it out in Clan mechs and LAMs and stuff."
"Brilliant."

Nah, he merely makes it look that way. He is a master of Illusion. People see his chatty nature as someone who will communicate with us and keep us in the loop, when in fact, in each instance he is given the opportunity to do so, his true nature and form, that of the TROLL QUEEN, comes to light.

Wait a minute, I had an orchestral hit cued up when I said Troll Queen....

let's see....

TROLL QUEEN! *Orchestral Hit* Yeah, there we go....

The "Topic" is

"We are playing Mechwarrior and you are not."

Just need to setup a config for everytime Paul picks a 'mech. It blares QUEEN from the loudspeakers.
