I don't mind.

But, what would be the best thing about Old Almire?

The sights? The warriors? The Citadel?

This should happen more often.

I loved the old Clockwork Confidentials, though I wish the interviewee responded in real-time not all at once.

You like Blackadder too?! Wow, it's my favourite show. I've probably rewatched it 10 times already. Anyway, I heard a while back that you guys had secret accounts in a guild called Just Desserts, but people found out really quickly because the players had the Three Rings symbol next to the names. After that fiasco, do you play incognito any more? Say, when you're off duty. I think it would give the developers a better idea of how the players actually behave in the game instead of those polls.

By false alarms, I meant people who lie just to see a GM, AKA "Halps, I Be stuck in IMC!" when he's not stuck at all.

Oof, sorry for not responding

Oof, sorry for not responding before; I was on vacation and therefore not watching these forums!

> I loved the old Clockwork Confidentials, though I wish the interviewee responded in real-time not all at once.

Thanks! I intend to do more of them. Things got a bit harried for a while, but Clockworks Confidential will be back in the future.

The format you refer to is a compromise so that staff can fit answering the questions into their schedule as they are able, rather than having to block off time and compose answers on the fly. It also enables them to put more time and thought into their responses.

Of course

A lot of things come back eventually. The past always makes a comeback in some way whether you like it or not.

I look forward to viewing the questions and answers one day.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

My question is strange...

I'm not sure how many of you are familliar with CradleBound, (fan game) but I'm planning on hiding an optional GM fight somewhere featuring 4 to 5 GMs. (Leader, Recon, Technician, Guardian, and Striker/Masker(Supportive role)...the roles of the 5 heroes) The question is...would anyone be especially interested in being part of the hardest boss fight in the game? At this time, I won't be asking for any particular names because that will probably be a surprise! (I'd discuss that via support emails.)

Man...that'd be awesome...

What do YOU think? It sounds like you've put some thought into it, I'd be interested in hearing what you've come up with.

do you play incognito any more? Say, when you're off duty.
Yep!

By false alarms, I meant people who lie just to see a GM, AKA "Halps, I Be stuck in IMC!" when he's not stuck at all.
Oh, that. Not as often as you'd think, and it's usually pretty obvious what's going on. I did arrive once to a party who'd deliberately sabotaged themselves by triggering a well-known bug that caused them to get stuck, and gave them a giant lecture before I let them out. I think it started with "I'm very disappointed in you", travelled on through "what if someone else genuinely needed help and had to wait because I was rescuing you?" and moved on to a warning that we might not rescue them in the future even if they'd become stuck legitimately. I was Not Impressed.

Okay, I laughed out loud at that. I hope it's a bubble pipe.

Which console do you like better? Sega genesis? or N64?
I'm actually pretty strictly a PC gamer. I've only tried one of those consoles, so I couldn't really make a judgement between the two of them.

This is completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but Zaffy? Mind adding me to Steam? Someone misses you. My Steam name is Psychodestroyer; same as my IGN.

Do you likez mudkipz? Do you like Pokemon?

Of all the pokemon, which would you be?

How do you react when this thread suddenly becomes a Clockworks Confidential about you?

How does it feel that now you've pushed yourself into the spotlight?

How do you feel about the game as of late?

Do you, as a GM moderating the forums, inform the developers about any cool posts?

Do you, as a GM, get access to some of the works and doings the developers have been working on?

Ah old Almire.

The beautiful landscape.

Evergreen trees of permament yellow. Grass of rich gold . The shining, clear lakes that traversed the land. The forests that were beatiful no matter how dark it was.

Mountain tops of crystal white, that peaked, but never blotted out the warm sunlight.

The castles that were like polka dots. Like the Garden that even in the coldness of a castle, grew gardens and matched the pink stones.

Or the Duke's castle, where people judged in court, and dealt with their matters.Destpite the seriousness, it was amazing.

When you visit a small village, the dark faces of the citizens lit up and were nice. Giving you drinks, serving you, hospitality and their frendliness. Despite the small size, it was millitaristic.

When you get tho the largest tower, my, my.

The chancelor resides there. Pools of water in the basement wells were fresh, despite being a cemetary, it was surrounded by gates of stone, and fields of green, where the smell of blooming flowers was like heaven. Governing law, and money, it was the worlds greatest.

But, the Grand Citadel!

The largest Castle, where the Crusaders trained day and night, honing ther skills. They may bnot be the best, but there were unrelenting. Like true heroes.

The courts where they drink and feast, where they played and entertained.

The king, sitting in hius large throne, was oung and smirked. Arrogant, but kind.

That is Almire.

I can't pick what would be the best, as it's all good!

May I ask a question?

I quickly noticed that most GM goes by the names of Greek Deities... Can you explain why they chose that as their names?

Well, it makes me quite happy to see GMs of a game actually interacting with the community like *gasp* NORMAL PEOPLE! Oh wait, none of us are normal here, disregard that last statement.

P.S. Btw Hyperion, still grateful you saved my party and I at UFSC due to the zombie that ate a golden mushroom. Yes, you can still have your valentine cupcake!
