Having been unfortunate enough to have been laid-off, I can tell you that if I chose to accept the severance package that was offered to me I had to sign a very thick and comprehensive legal document. That document prevented me from doing anything out of line against my old company as I was looking to get another job in the same field.|

Why would you need permission from former employees? |
Long story short, if the Paragon folks were offered a severance package, they are a TON of things that they can not do or say. Unless they go rogue....
Go Team Venture!
Yeah that's why I wrote that part in there - that must be it then.

I have been meaning to fix it (brighten it up a bit and make it a smaller file size...) ever sine I first uploaded it... Sorry!
I originally had just E-K in there. Then I was playing through some character story arcs with friends where my villain severely injured E-K... and removed E-K and put that villain, Malfaz, in his place. That was an animated one of Malfaz, twitching and convulsing from electricity.
Then, when E-K was getting better, I replaced that with the current one.
The same Malfaz twitching image, but then E-K leaps in with a havoc punch and takes his place, giving a thumbs up.
Yeah... there's a longer explanation... because it involves a short in-game movie I made of their fight.

Malfaz's (hack job of a) Virtueverse entry.
And E-K's
And, to stick on topic...
I can neither confirm nor deny that the top seekrit projekt was about Malfaz...
EDIT:
And yeah, I had planned to change it and make it more of a "get out of my way, this is my forum image" *shove aside* "No, no, YOU get out of the way, it's mine!" over and over.

Also... haha, about the skeleton effect. Never guessed that one, but I can see why.
Sheesh... you know you all love me... you should have clicked on my links and found out, ya bunch of sillyheads!

It was a Paragon Studios project. I'd already inferred that from the very beginning.

I didn't say it would be unobvious. I only said it would be the truth.

Well, here's hoping we can get a big reveal sometime later this week - though frankly if I had to pick between that and cracking open the Lore Bible one last time, I can leave this detail hanging.
Also, Arcanaville - my fiancee is now hooked on the webcomic in your signature. I'm not going to get my laptop back for a couple of days now, but that means I get to keep my desktop, so it all works out for me.
My first "turning point" in this city was during the Rularuu Invasion, and charging in with my BS/Regen Scrapper. Skyway City, at Level 10. It went...poorly.

Well, I had worked out that normaltext guess meant a real guess and the others were nothing of the sort, but not the distinction. Not bad for only being here a year, I guess (or is that "guess?")

Hey!
Listen!
Hey!
Hello Castle do you remember that one time in band camp!
Look out!
Listen!
I was responsible for the I5 defense changes!
Hey!
I know of at least fourteen exploits with Brawl the playerbase hasn't discovered!
Listen!
There is something else at work but I cannot talk about this!
Listen!
Look at me!
Hey!
You flew around red names like you had set up your phone to ring whenever the dev digest updated, and consistently tried to make jokes with them or engage in personal conversation, as if you knew them more than a normal player would. Your "subtle discussion redirections" consisted of you spamming a topic ten or fifteen times in a row, with wording that made it unequivocally you weren't getting your info any legit way.
It was so over the top I actually believed for a long time you were like Mishii, just pretending to be an insider and got your knowledge out of pigg file diving or somesuch, because surely no real insider would act this obvious, and no devs would tolerate someone that insufferable.
