I found that exchange quite amusing actually. Please continue...I have popcorn cooking in the microwave now........lol
Oh, and Serevok, er, Serevok, the main villain in the first Baldur's Gate game didn't have a Katana, he had that giant 2-Handed Deathbringer Chaos Blade....mhahahaha!
As Serevok routinely says in Throne of Bhaal....death comes for you...FEEL ITS ICY GRIP!!! Mhahahahahaha!
Man I wish Black Isle Studios didn't collapse.
Katana just sounds better...
But its unfortunate that it did collapse... Probably the best RPG group to exist...
IMHO, that's ininfluent on his future chances (as I said, he could be the kindest of the persons, in real life).
I think that as the creator of the greatest user made WW scenarios, he deserves respect.
I think we should stop feeling offended and stop generating flames (in which I hope I won't get involved again)
Sadly in this kind of competitive enviroment, nobody is so naive to just put away their flamethrower. It would be nice... but sadly Im afraid it wont happen.
However, you bring up another point. If posts here are truly influential on people's chances to get this job, I know full well that if they do not want someone who does not like people who have a temper, ive burned my chances out several times over. Still, I dont care. I do not need to be part of a company to make stuff for the community. Perhaps it is better not to be part of a company, as then you are not chained to do this or that but you are able to create what you want, when you want. The only real benefit to it is that it is guaranteed that everyone who gets the game will be able to see what you have done, though they may not be able to figure out just who exactly you are.
If Firaxis do look at peoples' posts in this thread Sarevok, you are sabotaging your own future chances of ever working for them by making posts like that. It may have been justified, but I don't think many companies would be that eager to hire someone who'd (even jokingly) threaten to chop someone's head off if they don't like them.
I dont need to work for the company to make scenarios do I? My future is in history, not in some gaming company. Also, I dont care if people dont like me because im used to it. Id say the vast majority of people in this thread do not, and are just trying to contain themselves from calling me offensive terms. It is when they crack, unable to handle my prescence anymore that they make DL's to slam me as they are too cowardly to do it themselves. As was said in
The Prince "[People] do not like you either because they fear you, or because they hate you." Ill let people come to their own conclusions about that.
I can imagine an interview with you in it...
"Sorry Mr. Sarevok but we don't think you're qualified for this role."
"I'm not qualified?! I think you'll find the intarweb disagrees with you, you idiot. You need a lesson in humility, foolish mortal!"
"Okay, whatever. This is why we don't hire 12 year olds."
If you are trying to amuse me... keep it up.
Im a week away from 17, and such statements make me sound like Im still a fool. I have been called vastly beyond my age in terms of knowledge and maturity in my real life. It is here I get to screw around and do what I choose. I dont take jokes anymore though, I have long since lost the impression that the world is a bright place full of good things.
These kinds of statements remind me yet again that I am one of the most misunderstood people at CFC, though I will not pretend much of that is my own effort.
