Nate Birkholz: Really Second Measuring Up


Adeon Hawkwood

I just wanted to give a "thank you" to Second Measure. I know he's not the guy behind all the new features that're being implemented soon, but he sure knows how to write a letter to the players.

No fluff, no "soon", just stuff we want to hear, how we hear it. I speak for myself when I say that I sincerely enjoy the Producer's Letter since it's a clear and invigorating way to hear about upcoming content and also has nice little peeks behind the development curtain.

So thanks, Second Measure! See you next month, or sooner hopefully!

That said, Paragon Studios and NCsoft have really been failing lately with the Strike Pack, Animal Booster, etc. Failing to disappoint!


to TO THE END!

My thanks, I'm fortunate to get to work at a place that has great things to write about, and great people to write it to.

Paragon uses the Klingon employment and advancement system. You kill someone who works there, you get their job. You want to move up the corporate ladder, kill your superiors.

In honorable combat of course.

As clearly and brutally evidenced back in Issue 9, when they ate Ian.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

That page just reminded me of the time our family cat ate all but one of her kittens.

100% agree

Sounds like a threat, Mr. Measure. Time to lay off the coffee breaks and get back to work!

Well he specified honorable combat which is definitely the Klingons. In the Mirror Universe you just have to kill them, for Klingons you have to kill them honorably.

The obvious solution is just to work your way through all of them while appointing replacements as you move on to new positions. Eventually you will reach a position that gives you the authority to create the position you desire.

i mean, it wasn't actually specified how any vacancies left by advancement would be filled. i suppose you could allow lower ranked employees to fight for the vacancy.

Here I was going to suggest checking the videos for digital watermarking, from that, figure out who the file owner is or who the software is registered to, then start there.

Or I could theoretically start at the top and assassinate War Witch, but not only do I like her, but she's one of the few remaining devs who actually likes my videos. One must have allies...
