We're sitting in a meeting and our Development Director said "We've contracted some Type R programmers".

I had never heard this term before, so I jotted it down on my notepad, so I could inquire about it later.

Just then our Lead Engineer asks "What is Type R?"

Our Dev Director looked stumped. "What do you mean?"

"You said 'Type R Programmers'" said the Lead Engineer.

"No, I said 'High Powered'." said the Dev Director.

"No you didn't. You said 'Type R.' See I wrote it down." I said, and showed him my notepad that said "Type R?".

So now, everything high powered and awesome in the office is "Type R".

I am now on a crusade to get it used outside our offices. I should add it to urban dictionary or something.

Makes me wonder, is there a Type Z programmer, or is that status reserved for alien supergenius programmers?

Thank you, Niviene

Try as I might, I can't come up with anything but 46 each time I count.

The cameraman perhaps.

The cameraman actually is another dev who opted to remain anonymous and unseen. So there's another +1

Still doesn't explain how in the original The Blair Witch Project that three people can go into the woods with one video camera between the three of them and all three can be seen running in the same shot....

Hey Folks,

Given that I’ve been around here a bit of time now, the “powers that be” have decided to bestow upon me my very own redname. As TheOcho, I’ll be posting announcements and interacting with the community. If you have questions or need any help, please feel free to PM me anytime.

However, I will also continue to moderate the forums as Moderator_08 so please direct all moderation inquiries to that PM box.

Thanks,
TheOcho/Mod08

It all makes sense now!

No wonder TheOcho and Mod08 never posted at the same time!

Nooooo, not the Rikti. Oh well, fun while it lasted and I knew it wasn't going to last long. Definitely got some boring low-level characters up to where I'm interested in playing them now despite the change. Finally, I am close to getting my Brute's T9 lightning power.

And I was wondering why there were so many Farmers of Rikti for the MA missions....

EDIT: I should note that at least some of those are available as a Dev, but my live account sure doesn't have 'em!

So, how's it like to swing lines, wall crawl, and swimming at superspeeds?

Collars for High Collar Capes disappear when the Chest Details Sinister and Onomichi Warrior is selected.

Early Bird badge has to be looked into. It's not Account-wise, at least not for me.

I earned the badge, and I did end up getting it when I logged into some of my characters, but after a while, no more characters of mine got the badge.

Makes me wonder if there was indeed a timer for when you have to log in your characters or if it's just a random bug that I got on my account.

If you look closely enough to the screen, you'll see pics of Devs chained to their desks!

The real reason why the Valentine's Event has barely changed over the years is you haven't been buying enough Valentine packs! So get cracking and buy it already!

You know what... I really honestly do, but that's just me. Gratz to everyone who finally reached level 51 irl!

How hard is it to reach level 51? It's only one XP away!

What I like best about this job is playing connect the dots!

Thank you, Ex Libris, for all you have done

Good fortune in your endeavors

I have a question about the magic Booster Pack.

I was able to find info about what's in the Booster Pack through some of the links before (such as what kinds of fortunes/misfortunes, some of the screenshots, etc.), which included some vids of the costume change powers.

I can't seem to find it again, and I wanted to show my nephew. Is it gone, or have I not clicked on the right sequence of links?

The Mystic Fortune power reminds me of the Destructable Labs in the Tech/Sci Mission Maps. The players can destroy each one and get a random buff or debuff.

In this case, it's more voluntary with the choice of the player to accept it or not (what would be the point of having your fortune read if you already knew it was going to be a bad one?).

Why do I have a funny feeling that someone's going to be upset that there'll be no Wizard's Beard for Female models....

Who named the streets?

The streets, Emmert Street and Dakan Ave., were named for two of the original Devs for the game.

What you do does not matter to me. (Unless it's somehow important to me...).
