I was reading the payments in the billing FAQ when I came across payment by mail.

"If you decorate your envelope or include a fun note, we may display it on the office wall!"

Do you have any pictures around the office? Have you ever sent any fun little replies to the player? I'm just curious how many players do this, since it's incredibly adorable.

I do remember when exploring whirled they had what looked like a bunch of rooms centered around the theme of the Three Rings office. I'd really like to see more of the place :O

LOL.

"If you decorate your envelope or include a fun note, we may display a fun note, we many display it on the office wall!"

Really? That's quite humorous. OOO really is that kind of company aren't they?

Remember.. "Talking to yourself is a sign of insanity."
Who can tell me where that's from?

"Really? That's quite humorous. OOO really is that kind of company aren't they?"

They are, in fact. But it seems most people judge them ONLY by Spiral Knights :v

"Remember.. "Talking to yourself is a sign of insanity.""

Technically insanity is no longer used as a term in the medical field, thus it would not be part of any diagnosis.

By the way, does the office really look like this?

I remember exploring through these rooms for the first time. I thought it was cute how dedicated they were to the sea theme when they started with Puzzle Pirates.

"Talking to youself is a sign of insanity."

Actually, if you try sending a tell to yourself in game a little Easter egg pops up and says that automatically. You should try it.

Wuvvums - We do indeed have

Wuvvums - We do indeed have walls covered floor to ceiling in awesome drawings, poems, and fan letters. It's pretty great (though probably a fire hazard....).

And yes, our office does look like a weird steampunk submarine:

Those photos are pretty old though. They don't have our full size Tardis, the Spiral Knights cave with its Clockwork desks or the giant Dalek.

Can we ever get pictures of

Can we ever get pictures of the SK cave at all? This place looks so fun. I always loved the artistic side of the company.

I figured most of it was a sea-theme because it started with Puzzle Pirates and that Cleaver might have had a fetish for kraken ravaging ships. I would so want to work there but I heard most of the accounting is done by Sega now (so my dreams are crushed :c ).

Thanks for linking this, Nick. I'm gonna share with my friends~

wow, sorta....embarrassing

wow, sorta....embarrassing there, Rangerwill. You sorta jumped all up on her and got shot down.

Working for OOO? It's within commute distance for me! (albeit one of those horrible freeway flyer distances). I have no computer skills to speak of, though I am a very capable, and degreed for that matter, artist. I'm also large and intimidating when my beard is full. Maybe I can be "Office Motivator". It'd be sort of like a short-haired Zakk Wylde randomly coming in and kicking your chair and telling you to get off tha "#^)&(*$&%(*^ Skype and start working $^(*^$ it. I could even pop off a couple of Zakk Wylde riffs on a guitar.

I'd be like that dude from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones that just dances.

I hope someday when I get around to going to california I can visit the offices. I know of people in puzzle pirates that said they did that.

Can we visit the three rings offices? I would love to do that.

On a slight tangent...why is there a cucumber (zucchini?) on the left in that Whirled room?

I saw that article before, and it made me want to visit OOO's office so bad!

@Tengu I didn't know you were an artist! Sweet.

@Wuvvums/Nick/Eury? Yeah, a little photo of something would be awesome! Just a snippet... hehe. I actually work near this pearl tea shop that posts up their customers' point/stamp cards and actually stamps them when the customers come in. Sometimes they like to draw a picture on the card as identification instead of writing their name. (They make the best pearl tea in the South Bay, too.)

You should put up a competition where the winner gets an all-expense paid trip to tour your office ;)

Nice...

You guys have crazier offices than google, and that's not a bad thing. Given your subject material and the corporation size I'll have to keep you guys in mind when I graduate. Of course an internship might be nice too.

The letter I sent years ago

The letter I sent years ago when I first started playing Puzzle Pirates is still stuck to the wall.

If I recall correctly, the OOOs offices were invaded quite some time ago:

Don't worry, OOOs was able to mount a counterattack:

@ Cronus

That is the coolest thing ever. :) I would love to work for a company like that... Working as an associate at Nintendo, they're not nearly as tight-knight or fun-minded. xD
