As far as pie goes! Here is the list in order of favorite: Pumpkin (Homemade whipped cream if any topping), Lemon Merange sans merange, key lime. Otherwise Cheese Cake FTW.

A worthy adversary!
When I was considering this position I was trying to come up with my public alias. I wanted Rook or something along that line and no it isn't for chess reasons, more about the birds than anything.
_Castle_ is the nicest enemy I have ever had!
He has since been forgiven for his unknowingly disappointing me, probably because I love the Ex Libris concept far better than my Rook renditions.

Since the dev's are chained up working, I thought I would show you where we allow them to play on a short term basis each day.

_Castle_ is based on my Champions character named "Rook." Unfortunately, way back when in Beta, when I went to make him Rook was taken. Thus, Castle was born. The underscores were added when I could not get the name Castle here on the boards, since someone else had the name.

You ever been hanging out with co-workers and heard one of them grumble "Lets not talk shop"? I think that's the case here. These guys are no doubt putting in serious hours concerning I11 so taking a break to interact with the community in a laid back manner is cool with me.

This would be the case if the last 2 years have been their coffee break. CoP/Base raids were advertised features that have been undelivered, then bugged, then rescinded and remained missing for almost 2 years. The people who have paid for those advertised features have continuously asked them for an update as to the status only to receive silence. It is an embarrassment to Cryptic and to the devs, and their unwillingness to communicate just exaserbates the situation. How long should their "break" be? How much time does it take to type : "We are sorry, we acknowledge that there is a major advertised feature that we haven't implemented and fixed 2 years since it was sold." But of course, dodging their responsibilities and talking about Photo 1, 2 and 3 is so much easier.
The only thing worse than devs making bad decisions is the hoard of fanboys and bootlickers that keep cheering them on.

Actually, they have apologized for it and many other "undelivered features" over the years, and in many cases have given at least some kind of explanation (whether it's to your satisfaction or not).
Ultimately it comes down to time, resources, and popularity. While CoP might be something they really want to get in, it simply might be something that is resource-costly to get working for what is probably a small % of the user base. And it doesn't make sense diverting resources from features everyone can enjoy to work on ones that only few can enjoy. Good or bad, that's just the way things go.

Not calling you a liar of course, but can you link to a dev post where they have apologized for CoP/Base raid? I sure can't find it. In fact, I tried to go as far back as the forum will allow to find explanations or even a status update on its future and had absolutely no luck.

I'm sure it's long gone by now. You'll just have to take my word for it.
You know, threads like these are exactly why I love this game so much. Community ftw!
I am posting just because I want to post in an incredibly cool thread. Now all we need is a word from BaB and this thread will have all the cool people on it...well...only cause Sexy J has his own personal thread

Well I found this here. Not quite an apology by most standards, but for Jack it's about as close as you'll ever get.
Well States does spell it out and address it head on. There you go.
