The unofficial Red-name Retweet Thread


AlienOne

 

Posted

With the temporary loss of a fully-functional dev digest, some folks got the idea that the devs are spending more time tweeting than posting. To re-assure the worry warts and catch the occasional tweet that DOES enlighten our corner of the world, this thread will have copies of the dev tweets posted to it.

Note that I make no claims to know the Twitter accounts of all of our red-names or to be following them all. If anyone wants to contribute, feel free. This thread is being launched as an honest effort to help out the non-Twitterers on the forums, so while it's not all "tweetin' is srs bsns", posting fake tweets as a joke should be frowned upon. We want to provide actual nuggets of information here.

A key to the personalities we're following (Sorry, I don't know everyone's real name):

Positron_CoH = Matt Miller, aka Positron, Head Honcho
CoHBaBs = Christopher Bruce, aka Back Alley Brawler, Lead Animator
MelissaBianco = Melissa Bianco, aka War Witch, Senior Game Designer
CoH_OCR = City of Heroes Online Community Relations
BruceHH = Bruce Harlick, Game Designer
Niviene_CoH = Niviene, Community Specialist
Avatea = Avatea, Community Specialist
TheDarkWatcher = Vince D'Amelio, Senior Programmer
_EMpulse_ = Empulse, Community Specialist
plaync = NCSoft announcements

Note that I have no intention of posting every tweet ever made by these people. If you're THAT interested in what they have to say, you can darn well learn how to Twitter yourself!

A posting beginning with "RT" indicates a "retweet". That is, the poster is reposting a message they got from another source. A post beginning with an @ sign followed by a Twitter ID is a reply to previous posting by that other person.

*Edit* Niviene actually had a bunch of stuff that was relevant while the boards were offline but not so relevant now that they're live.

Actually, no, it's not. That's kind of the point. The initial barrage was just the "bootup sequence". In any case, the thread was born due to an actual concern by some players that they were missing out on information, not as a post-padding method. I've been here since beta wave three. If I wanted to pad my post count, I'd have been in the forum cartel years ago; trust me.

Anywho -- Here's proof that our devs have a sense of humor, or at irony anyway:

I think Niviene's having a bit of fun with the whole Twitter news discussion since this isn't really "news", but it might be that she's replying to people who have been tweeting her with questions about the state of the forums.

In any case, it IS CoH-related, so...

This last is primarily interesting in that anyone who is having similar problems has some assurance that the community people are aware of it and, presumably, working to deal with it.

Well, there's this:

CoHBABs "Lava" and "Crystal" themes for Stone Melee and Stone Armor.
Though I'm not sure if that would mean that they're cool ideas, that they're working on them, or that we're actually going to get them.
