What abusive parting gift would you leave TJ Kim?

Anything with turds or death threats not permitted please, be more imaginative.

Personally I'd leave him with some discount vouchers for a night with Lillian Tyler. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/s.../lillian-tyler

When in doubt, go with the classics -

"May an unclean Yak sit on your dinner."
"May your platform shoes fail you in a camel pasture."
"May a love-starved fruit-fly molest your sister's nectarines."
"May a crazy holy man set fire to your nose hair."
"May a crazed lizard unravel your underwear."
"May a nearsighted sand flea suck syrup off your short stack."

- Johnny Carson as Carnac the Magnificent

Nothing abusive. Maybe a shot of truth serum to get the real inside story of their decision to kill the game, but I'm betting its a pretty short story and ends up being a simple "Because we wanted to...." sort of answer.

Take the man, as he is, with no super powers. Drop him off into an underground labyrinth controlled by the COT (or the carnies) and give him perma speed boost.

Seeing as I have nothing against him or NCsoft - nothing.

I did send him a letter thanking him and NCSoft for their support of CoH over the years.

sending something abusive to what end? So they know we're pissed off at them? Well they possibly already realise this.

But as I've said before they looked after this game and kept it going and invested in it for a long time so personally I think that's a misdirected emotion.

If I were to send him anything I might write a cheque for a couple of thousand £££ (unsigned of course) and send copies of it to him and all NCSoft shareholders and say "this is just my contribution for the next few years to City of Heroes. But you can't have it. Multiplied by several thousand because the game doesn't exist. How is that a good business decision?"

The best we can hope is that the board of NCSoft is given some stick by the shareholders but I doubt that will even happen

Nothing. I'll watch with perverse satisfaction as NCSoft dries up and crumbles as they continue to piss people off. Kim himself could care less as he has already banked plenty offa the company, I imagine, selling his stock at the higher price he did to Nexon, so nothing I or anyone does will matter... he's still gonna drive Ferraris or whatever he chooses.

nothing. I have nothing against them. Probably just thank him for the good time and walk away into the sunset until we meet again.

Nothing. Sending hateful gifts is a notch more childish than comment bombing game reviews of NCSoft games with anti NCSoft rhetoric, but hey.. do what ya gotta do

Nothing. Nothing at all.
Not even a post-it note.

Not that I have any great ill will towards TJ Kim as I suspect the decision to close CoH was made further down the line, but here's what some of you might wish for him: The NcSoft board members giving him a letter of resignation to sign.

When I see those I just giggle at the absurdity of it all

I shall salute him as the Klingons would one who is shunned for being cowardly and treacherous. I turn my back on NCSoft, forever.

Let me preface this by stating that I'm not actually inclined to do anything like this at all. I'm unhappy about the game being closed, and the manner in which it was done will probably cause me to avoid buying anything from NCSoft in the future. But behave abusively to an executive for making what I have no doubt he thought was a sound business decision? Sorry, I'm not 12 years old.

However, if I were so inclined, I'd send him a Statesman figurine casually glancing over its shoulder and turning to hand him a business card, written and trimmed in red, with its left hand. If you know about Korean business culture, then what's on the card is pretty irrelevant, given how it's being offered.

the gift of the most annoying sound in the world in which he could not escape from.

A lovely, permanent installation of this on every possible billboard in the Gangnam district.



NCSoft did say CoX was a much-loved member of the family so they should be happy to see ol' Statey's picture at every turn, right?

Your utter lack of knowledge of true kibun techniques and relevance is on par with other non-Koreans.

Reopen the DMZ. Red Dawn is far more plausible in Seoul.

What's that? Civilian casualties? Bummer. If only you had some, I don't know, HEROES?

I don't know. Maybe if I ONLY HAD A BRAIN I would know what to give him.
