Five Things From Friday 8 : Sunday Night Edition

  1. So Mythic really dropped the ball on the whole grace period thing although they fixed it (mostly). I think that's about as mad as I have ever been -- not just at Mythic, but at any developer ever.

    I mean, it's one thing to try and fail, and therefore screw the customer. It's another thing to wake up some morning and say "let's deliberately screw the customer."

    Now, I know many people facing nerfs say, "the only possible justification is that they were trying to screw the players." And I would just laugh and say, "well, they aren't doing that and they would never do that." Well, I was only half right.

  2. In the Department of Making-Me-Less-Mad, EA did 2-day my CE on Thursday (even though I had free shipping and handling). I had it on Friday and it is beautiful. Also cleanses the palate a little after my only other CE ever -- the Hellgate: London CE.

  3. Casualties of War has a sort of sub-officer-but-above-member title called "Founder". And I'm not a "Founder", which is funny, you know, considering this and this and this.

    Should CoW make me a founder? I don't care, really, as I couldn't even squeak a "Thing From Friday" out of a promotion, let alone a whole blog post.

    Ultimately, although I complain a lot on my blog, most bad things that happen to me actually make me happy. I'm always dying for blog topics.

    (9/22 NOTE : Since Jobildo posted and apologized, and my goal was kind of to have nobody post and apologize, I'll add that I did not feel slighted, and in fact I pretty specifically said in my original proposal that I wanted to be in a blogger guild but wanted no actual responsibility for said guild. That still holds true today and I just shared this story because it tickled me.)

  4. It's weird but I completed my addon post for Tuesday today, Sunday morning, while my Five Things From Friday I'm doing on Sunday night. This is one of the many reasons I write my blogs while driving a customized Delorean.

  5. I probably should have mentioned this in my addon column, but here's my current Addon loadout :

    ApproxFPS
    AutoLoot
    CleanUnitFrames
    FlowerPower
    LibSlash
    PlantMe
    XpStatus
    zBuffBars
    zChatWindow

  6. Have a nice weekend, heh.

I thought the "founder" automatically was assigned to the people present when the guild was created. Perhaps I am wrong?

Alicia said...

no Ethic I think you are right. Founder is the ppl that created the guild in game. So there are 6 ppl at most.

Clarifying Boat,

Founder is for the people who are our actual organizers and main officers.

That is in the case of the Order side - myself, Heartless_, Hudson (Pietro), and Rick (Gallatin). Then we have Officers, and RvR leaders as well. Genda would be included here as well, but he's Dest's GM.

It's not meant to slight you, mate. Not even in the least.
