I mean I just got used to the idea of Tim being First Warden, and was preparing for a whole new kind of world order. And now, you're telling me that things have gotten back to a less brave new world?

Hmmm....maybe this is a conspiracy.

It is telling when an organisation is so desperate for so-called 'free bumps' that it resorts to fabricating a pretext for making an announcement, and revoking that selfsame announcement with another one shortly thereafter. I could suggest that this development belies a complete lack of shame ('elevating' Tim Stark, of all possible candidates supports this assertion to no small part, ) but it is evident that any such feelings were left behind in the dirt long ago.

You were right about one bit. I for one have absolutely no shame.

As for the rest, if you don't know how to take a joke then this isn't the thread for you friendo.

"I'm not sure if Altmoras has ever been wrong about anything."

Inhumanly good at the game according to official word of site staff.

The defining characteristic of a joke is that there is some form of humour to be found, Altmoras.

Perhaps the word you were searching for is instead 'shitpost'.

Fair enough, could have made my point better than that.

*hands Fris some apology-cookies*

Point being what Tim and Vac said, basically.

I was gonna leave my previous point as all I was going to say, but I feel the comment on this. We've been running regular 10+ defense updates, and could easily just be reporting on that every day if we want to. We liberated Philippines today and could report on that if we want to. The fact of the matter is, we're fucking good at what we do and don't really need to be "desperate" for "free bumps". If you had any actual idea about the Grey Warden culture, or really R/D culture in general, you might realize that this is just a continued extension of our brand. In fact, we'd been running this joke for pretty much the whole day prior to the initial announcement across pretty much every server we're active in, so all you're really reinforcing with your commentary here is that, much like everyone already suspects, you're a player hiding behind a puppet who is not welcome in and/or not knowledgeable about the parts of GP that you attempt to lambast.

Feel free to keep this complaining about our content, though, I hear we're big fans of "free bumps" ;)

A long explanation for an absurdly weird title. You could've made a better joke.

Shame is for those that do shameful things, such as invading. We are proud of what we do, therefore we shall do it shamelessly. Reading the two update posts has sent me into hysterics and I love that Jack and Land have gotten in on the fun. I love TGW :hug:
