You didn't disappoint.
Anwyay, I enjoy the give and take of forums where informed opinions are backed with facts and stats, not sure that's completely the case here because I think facts would hose alot of you guys trying to defend your arguments
Anyway I am looking forward to a healthy exchange of ideas around here and serving up some verbal abuse.
Ut I have heard that you are the one to seek out if one is looking for a verbal sparring match with zero chance of winning over the opponent..

Get yourself traded to the Mariners please Our pitching rotation needs help!

That being said, it'll be hilarious to watch if you start posting here, considering your previous history with SOE and that you're a "notable" figure. It's exactly the sort of fodder that Utnayan /drools/ over.

I never miss a chance to recomend good fantasy books to complete stangers , so may i recomend you Bakker, R. Scott - [The Prince of Nothing ] - The Darkness That Comes Before , The Warrior Prophet and The Thousandfold Thought. Excelet writing style, refreshing settings and charachters, great villans, no one-dimensional characters, just amazing.

Edit : And thinking about it , he would be so much better in lieu of that R.A.Salvadore character, writing a MMO. Hell just base the mmo on the Prince of Nothing universe, you have a magic system in place , magic schools, factions , artifacts and even whores. Its perfect.

[Rezz]

But will there be magic whores?

Seriously, I can't think of anything negative about more creative talent being funneled into the mmorpg market. Even if squandered at the worst case scenario, it'll unveil more ideas and takes on current systems that will only lead to more innovation and a better play experience. The best case scenario is we all end up playing their game because it's superior. Thus: Win/win.

Salvatore has written some magnificent books.

I love practically every book except the whining about wulfgar. Never liked that character. I loved the hunters blades ..it was Drizzt at his best and i adored ivan and Pikel Bouldershoulder.

I was completely overwhelmed by the promise of the witch king. A story after servant of the shard where jarlaxle and entreri team up. The sarcasm between the 2 ...the cold blooded but somehow more humane artemis, the ever witty and cunning jarlaxle made for a book i rampaged through because it just pulled me into the story and never let go.

Looking forward to book 3 of the sellswords

Hey,
Yes, I know these are forums that can bring out the best and worst in people. After playing 9 years in Philadelphia, 3 years in Boston, and interacting with fans on the internet, I've heard it all. There's nothing here I haven't heard or been called that I haven't run across before.

The hope is that this will become one of many forums I can participate in a healthy exchange of ideas from future customers and others with creative input and ideas.

I won't get caught up in flame wars, that's for you guys to do and me to check in on and laugh.

However I will respond when I can to questions and ideas as they pertain to Green Monster Games, the Industry and our goals as we move forward. I won't promise timely responses by any stretch, but in those times when I can surf around and check in I will try and be as up front as I can about things I can answer to. I won't lie, I certainly won't have the answers to all the questions, but where I can I will find out what I don't know and pass it along.

I'm pretty fired up as things begin to steamroll here and ecstatic about the talent and passion GMG is bringing to the table.

Our website will be up and running when we feel it's ready to present to the public, as will our community forums for industry wide threads and then the title specific site will make it's way to the public arena when we feel it is ready.

Nothing will move as fast as I'd like, but my community guys are sticklers for detail as well as being industry veterans in this area.

Look forward to having some fun around here the next few years.

Yes, because we certainly don't see any Producers or Presidents of successful MMO publishing companies posting here. At all. Ever.

[Rythonn]

I'm too skeptical to believe it's him.

[Man0warr]

He's more nutso about MMO's than some of us, i'm sure he knows of this site.

[Kasi]

It's not the first time he's done this either. During Boston's world series run in 04 he had a lot of fun posting on the sons of sam horn site during the series with the Yankees. So yeah he has been known to visit message boards.

Welcome Curt. Don't be surprised if people here are more vicious than baseball politics and GMs.

[Coryl]

It's very likely Curt.

It reads like one of his posts from nyyfans or sonsofsamhorn baseball sites.

Excited to see you posting. Hope to see you pitching at Fenway again sometime soon.

[Brutul Tarew Marr]

All it takes to confirm it is for someone to log into EQ2 on Unrest and send a tell to Ngruk and ask if he registered on fohguild.org

If I were Schilling, there are probably a million different things I could mention in my first post here, but referencing Utnayan wouldn't be one of them. Don't get me wrong, I personally think Ut is often a "good read," although sometimes annoying as fuck, but citing him in your first post is either (a) asking for trouble; (b) desperate for a debate; (c) horrible PR management; and/or (d) just plain stupid.

By the way, does Ut have time for Schilling? I mean, he has his hands full already with his "Ut v. Smed" "Ut v. Brad" ongoing diatribes. I am going to call this Utnayan v. Schilling, Case No. 06-MMO-0003.

Awh, maybe he can fit him into his schedule over the lunch hour. But be fair-warned my portly Red Sox friend, Ut will bust your balls worse than ARod at the plate, and hound you to the end of time, while always coming back for seconds. Oh, and don't forget, unlike the MLB, you don't get a relief pitcher to bail your ass out here. (not that you needed it much during your career)

TaTa,
