	PersonaNonGrata wrote on Jul 18^th, 2016 at 9:03pm: Wtf? Is that a big demographic? Amongst the writers, actors, and directors? Probably. The directors are typically older than 'tween,' and the actors playing tweens are typically in their late 20s to early 30s, but still. That said, I never got the homoerotic bit in the Spiderman reboots as much as I did in Harry Potter between Harry and Ron.

	No, let me be Frank. Digimonk wrote on Dec 8^th, 2016 at 12:39pm: I've had multiple RoSS rot just from doing the explorer points in Sands across multiple lives since it is exclusive. Smart players know how to use buyback. Digimonk wrote on Dec 22^nd, 2016 at 1:58pm: I will not chone. I did what I did intentionally and while my primary purpose was not to annoy the other Vaulties, I acknowledge that it was a side effect. Smart people don't elicit "side effects."� They understand in advance the consequences of their actions.

	Two links away, I was at http://ddowiki.com/page/Robert_Ciccolini. According to that page, sev's "job duties include, but are not limited to writing producer letters to the DDO community. " (and that's the end of the page. Shows how much the playerbase thinks of him?)

	Some chatter from LotRO forums. https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthread.php?643772-Wherefore-art-thou-Vyvyanne/p... Quote: I messaged Athena to ask about it and here is her reply: I am not. Rob Ciccolini has been for a couple months. I run Batman Arkham Underworld now. Quote: Ex Asherons Call Exec, and still listed as DDO's Exec. Quote: That's the guy so I don't see why he isn't doing his job right now and introducing himself to the community and doing some damage control. If he has been in charge for a few months as Athena said he is already failing as the EP of LotRO due to his lack of communication. Quote: Thats a bit harsh. He's the EP of DDO, and oh btw there is this other game I need to do something about. Lord of the dance online or something like that. Dev1: taps finger on table I suppose we could do this in the men's room... Dev2: You think we'd get more traffic there? Dev1: I just get tired of the echos in here. Its like the day you move and nothing is in the living room so... EP: Sorry I'm late guys. So whats going on? Dev2: Thought you'd tell us EP: Ok, ok, you guys have free to play, right? Dev1: So I'm told. EP: Ok and you have some landscape quests, right? Dev2: uh huh. And instances. EP: Excellent! so... we're good then? nice chat. exits with a smile to his real job Dev1: post EP So... are we good with flying mounts now? Dev2: Yeah lets take this to the mens room. I have some business to finish there. Quote: So LOTRO and DDO may have EPs and CMs in common - reading between the lines, put both the old MMOs under one management and try to run it that way. Quote: It will not work. They are spreading themselves too thin. This is an epic failure in the works.

That said, I never got the homoerotic bit in the Spiderman reboots as much as I did in Harry Potter between Harry and Ron. Really? I've seen men make out in shows look less gay( hey I watched Torchwood and jack harkness is an immortal who likes all gorgeous creatures no matter species or gender) I mean seriously that scene is spiderman reboot part two peter sees the death of Norman on the news so he heads straight to harry's place. He walks into the lobby just as harry steps out onto the balcony as the sun light settles upon him making you think your seeing another sparkly vampire movie for a horrific moment. Peter looks up and breathlessly says harry. Harry gazes down with his eyes aglow and whispers peter. Seriously capt. Jack never looked so gay even while having gay sex.

	Ain't no hostile takeover. The smart ones took the money and ran when Warner Bros bought Turbine. That left the not so smart ones that thought the World of Games is a Career. Slowly, that bunch has been thinned out to the lowest common denominator. Remember, Sev was on Asheron's Call. What did you expect when he came over to DDO? now LoTRO? It seems that no other company tries to hire SEV away, what does that tell you?

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
