Welcome our new game admin: Ballotonia!

Postby [violet] » Wed May 09, 2012 12:24 am

To be honest, he's just a junior admin. Like, we're letting him play with some of the cords. He can't do too much damage to those. We think.

But: we have a new tech! Ballotonia has been proving his coding chops to us in private for a month or so now, and we're pleased to finally bring him on board officially.

B's first order of business will be to eliminate that pesky invasion game!* But after that, we hope to see a steady drip of little improvements that certain unnamed admins** are apparently just too lazy to implement.

I'm very pleased to have another pair of hands on deck. Please join me in welcoming Ballotonia to his brand new completely unpaid role!

Good. I am sure he will be a good addition to the team! And if he's not I will claim I knew he would be horrible.

Congrats Ballo. I look forward to the annihilation of all invaders :) Please to turn them all into mimes.

It is great to see another admin added for me to bother hold discussions with.

The dossier download/upload mechanism are clearly the first signs of a defender plot to end the invasion game.

Clearly.

Congrats Ballo!

Bewdy. Now he'll be too busy arguing consulting with the admins to notice ... oh, nothing, nothing at all. :twisted:

EDIT: Damn, that was Artichokeville. I say, "Congratulations! Jolly good choice!"
