Well...he DID play in SOL...jk

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

If the at-archive search function was working correctly, some of the stuff posted within our own community in the past 10 years would absolutely horrify the common, curious reporter looking for a scoop. Whether or not the people who posted it had left long before now...

Who the hell is feeding the media?

Their stupidity and misquotes really aren't needed.

Plus he wasn't even in Imagnum. Everyone knows that's where all the nutcases hang out. Random fluke this kid had anything to do with the game in the first place.

pfft. if he was a keen player of Earth:Empires, he wouldn't have had 65 problems getting a job, because most of the keen players know how to do advanced mathematics, or at least knon how to program a bot to do it for them.

No one is anymore... the WSJ got the posts, anything else we see will almost certainly be rehashed based on their article. And since they can't just copy and paste what's already written, they'll rewrite it based on their understanding of the WSJ article. Imperfect copies of imperfect copies. More mistakes will continue to creep in.

leet player's of earth pretty much need a CEO skillset.

Laughner and Fagner were nicknames we always called Jared by in RL. The EE picture is pretty funny.

I wonder when Pang will release all the posts to public?

it pretty much qualifies as never, while EE might hold the rights to those posts, they were posted under 3 different clan sites and for all intensive purposes, belonged to the members of those 3 clans and were never meant to be released to the public.

I'm concerned people are going to come here expecting Empire Earth, based on the screenshots from one article, and be severely disappointed in the lack of a real time strategy aspect :p

incidentally, i don't think the media has a bias against text based games, i think a bunch of them just don't understand what a text-based game is. In as far as that implies that there are no graphics :)

Finally did the signature thing.

Heh, yeah, on the chat earlier, someone logged on from Mibbet, and I don't know if they were actually a reporter or not, but their first question was "How much bloodshed is in this game" or something along those lines. Text-based games are a thing of the past.

AoS you should have told them that last time you checked there was no blood in text.

And it is crazy that the WSJ article is almost completely based on the information from forum posts.

Edit: Is that the most interesting information they could find on him. Love the stripper comment haha.
