Cactus Pete joins the GOTM Staff

[AlanH]

Cactus Pete has joined the ranks of the GOTM staff, as a new game designer. I am reliably informed that leif erikson only applied reasonable force to persuade him

Please join me in extending a warm welcome to CP, and start looking forward to some interesting new games. I believe his first venture will be GOTM 56.

Welcome CP! Looking forward to working with you.

Well, only a bit...

 

[Markus5]

Nice. So, what map mapping assignments have you given him?

 

[Lexad]

Congratulations! And to other people who will at last get a chance to win gold while CactusPete is away

 

[neilmeister]

Great, now we have a chance of winning gold.....

Perhaps leif lashed him to a cactus?

Congratulations CP!

So all I have to do to join the GOTM staff is pile up 187 gold medals and a few silvers for good measure? Why didn't you just say so? I only have 187 gold medals and a few silvers to go, but I'm about to get started now that CP is out of the running in at least some of these games. Now if I could just figure out how to win a medal...

Congratulations, Cactus Pete!

 

[Cactus Pete]

Appreciate the congrats, but would seem my absence is more appreciated than my presence. Hope I can change that.

If your map/game design skills are only a small fraction of your playing skills, we can rest assured we'll be treated to very enjoyable XOTM's in the near future! Congrats and thanks for stepping up for the task!

Both were my thoughts when I read the announcement.
My other was: "how will he have time?"
But not playing a game will save him a hundred hours, so that should be enough.

Congrats CP.

Now you are the 4th CFC staff member I teamed with.

Well, I think (like others) this may be a good time to go for a medal.

Congratulations on your new position, Cactus Pete!

All that I ask is that you consider other Victory Conditions besides Domination and Conquest when designing the maps.

Feel free to check out the "Peacemonger Strategy" area of the War Academy (sic) if you don't know what those are...

Congratulations on your new position, Cactus Pete!

All that I ask is that you consider other Victory Conditions besides Domination and Conquest when designing the maps. A reasonable request. Unless I make it clear to the contrary, will try to make the games balanced -- that is, victory conditions will have the usual relative difficulty.

Feel free to check out the "Peacemonger Strategy" area of the War Academy (sic) if you don't know what those are...

I've heard of them, but their presence at the War Academy is a bit perplexing.
