No, no. I may be evil, but I am not silly. Will see what he thinks first.

Yes I agree, but you must indeed work more on your evilness, it's your weak point. :devious:

:baby: ahhhhh newbs....

The curse of the RTW continues. I remember back in the day when those who made the RTW were flogged soon after for ego driven moments of wild threading.

You think it was an innocent expose???

They never see the bugs placed on them in the interview until it is too late. I remember HodgePodge innocently going to a StarForce boycott parade, all caught on film. It took a collective board thirteen months to find that poor Panda after his "expose." You think that username was always Caradoc? Guess again my friends! Ethric now deletes three out of every four posts in fear of being re-examined. When will the RTW madness stop?

I shouldn't even mention the disappearance of the sixth cloud since we switched to the new sight but it does :beg: to question. Where are the other mods and why have they let this RTW issue go on so long without saying anything?

Just my ladle worth.

And when will our little weekly editorial do a quick review of that big wig auction anyway?! A few interview with ppl about what they got would certainly be interesting.

No, something more about the ups and downs of the ppl playing, and of the auctioneer if you insist.

Studio Commentary: "In this edition, we have brought in a guy called Fabrice. Apparently he's got something to do with video games. When our producer heard this, he nervously asked: "Fabrice who?" and when he got the answer he ran to his office and committed suicide, apparently having forgotten that he had the authority to stop the interview altogether. Seeing as he is now dead, however, nobody does. So, it airs now. Those of the technicians who are afraid a certain company are gong to buy us out and close us down in response have resigned and left for a safer place (North Korea), the other one is hiding in the kitchen. Before launching this interview, applicants for the vacant position as producer here at RTN may file their résumés with our secretary in the lobby; the most important qualifications are an ability to read and write, hide large amounts of cash in very little time when stuff goes badly, and stand on one's head while farting the national anthem of Cameroon (don't ask me why). Here now, the interview."

Anchor: "Fabrice, welcome to our studio."
Fabrice: "Thenk you."
Anchor: "Tell us a bit about yourself."
Fabrice: "I am Fabrice Cambounet, I am the prodýseer of Hirós of Might and..."
Anchor: "We know who you are, tell us something we don't know. Like what it's like being a frog."
Fabrice: "Weel, it's... nice, em... tü be French, I..."
Anchor: "Eat frogs and snails for breakfast, do you?"
Fabrice: "Now, I think I need tü cleer up a few rumours – yes, I am French, and yes, I wear silk underweear, and no, I duu not eat frog legs för breakfast."
Anchor: "Let's talk about the game for a bit. You've got an expansion coming up; is it true that most of the work at your office is done by Oompa-Loompas and that this is the reason why dwarves now make a comeback?"
Fabrice: "No."
Anchor: "No, it's not true?"
Fabrice: "No, it's not why they make a cömeback."
Anchor: "But you have them employed?"
Fabrice: "Ouh, yes, they make an excellent cup of coffée."
Anchor: "And that's important, I gather?"
Fabrice: "Very important. It is, in fact, the reasón we bröke off with the StarForce peepöl."
Anchor: "Really? I thought it was public outcry... Tell me more."
Fabrice: "Weel, as you know, lots of fans wanted the StarForce gone, so we were looking för a reason to dump it – and then one öf them spilled ink in my coffée so we häd them firéd."
Anchor: "So what was all this about devices causing electric shock?"
Fabrice: "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."
Anchor: "If I let you smack me around a bit, will you give me a hint?"
Fabrice: "Sadly, no."
Anchor: "OK, let's talk some more about the expansion. What colour skin will the dwarves have; are they redskins, as some suggest, or pure-blood Goths from the heart of Scandinavia?"
Fabrice: "Weel, they are neither; not Goths, not Indians, just dwarves. We are not góing into race here."
Anchor: "No race, only different races?"
Fabrice: "Exactement."
Anchor: "But if there's no race, who will take the checkered rally flag?"
Fabrice: "The one who gets tü the bathrüm first."
Anchor: "I see. Now, this is getting a bit silly, isn't it... Why don't we talk about the Random Map Generator; what made you decide to put the RMG in the expansion? What the hell took you so long?"
Fabrice: "We had tü figúre out what RMG meant first."
Anchor: "Ah. And now that you have, can you tell us what it will do?"
Fabrice: "It will create maps randomly."
Anchor: "Wha... you mean, just... the player starts up his game and all of a sudden there will be lots of maps flooding his database?"
Fabrice: "Yes, and they will all be álmost the same."
Anchor: "... WHY?
Fabrice: "Oh, we don't deal with thöse kind of questións – we leave that up to the Marketing départment."
Anchor: "What about the editor then, do you like how that turned out?"
Fabrice: "Oh, yes, becáuse now we hardly have anything tü dü any more – the players modify and add to the game themselves and we can focus on making another cash co... I mean, great playing experience."
Anchor: "Now, of course, I could ask you some more trivial questions, like 'when is it going to be out', 'will the editor be updated' and 'what about limited editions', but instead – for no apparent reason – let's turn to how great a success Heroes V has been; you think the game has been successful?"
Fabrice: "Yes, a great success."
Anchor: "How much cash did it bring in?"
Fabrice: "We don't keep track of thöse figures. But I know it was a great súccess from the number öf emails I got the week aftér release."
Anchor: "How many?"
Fabrice: "Well... eight. But that's a lot för one topic."
Anchor: "How many of the eight were from your own employees?"
Fabrice: "Now, that's enough öf that, thenk you very much."
Anchor: "Seriously, though, the future of the franchise is at stake, isn't it – the level of success the expansion(s) have will have an impact on future games? Theoretically, if they don't sell very well at all, there might not be any more coming?"
Fabrice: "Riiiight...?"
Anchor: "Tell me, right now: Will you make a Heroes VI?"
Fabrice: "I have no idea."
Anchor: "Well, that's that out of the way then. Let's move on, where did you get those fabulous pastel trousers?"
Fabrice: "I thought you'd enjoy them – they just go so well with my skin tone, don't you think. And now that UbiSoft have issued a French dress code in the Nival offices as well I think we can all say that our culture is expanding into new corners of the industry."
Anchor: "The Russians will wear things like this, you mean?"
Fabrice: "Ouh, yes, the pirate shirts are back, you know. I think pink will look very nice in the office also."
Anchor: "How 'bout food?"
Fabrice: "Hm? Oh, yes, the lunches were a bit dull, so we spiced it up with garlic pies and some other tastynesses."
Anchor: "Um... 'tastynesses'? First time I've come across that word? Is it a word?"
Fabrice: "Is now."
Anchor: "So you are going to dress the Oompa-Loompas in pink pastel and pirate shirts?"
Fabrice: "No, they can't fit them. We'll have to dress up the other peepöl."
Anchor: "Like?"
Fabrice: "Weell, I heard from my bosses that they were buying this place so I suppose you could start shoppïng för somethïng new and excitíng."
Anchor: "Ah."
Fabrice: "Oui."
Anchor: "Velvet OK?"
Fabrice: "OK."
Anchor: "Right. Well, as you know, dear viewers, the freedom of the press has been guaranteed for some time in civilized countries, but as this station will be a part of France, I guess that's out the window. Now, I planned to stay here for some years yet, do a bit of one-on-one, maybe get my own show after a while, possibly leaving the podium for a position as producer or director later on, grooming a young, intelligent mind to take my place as investigative reporter... But now there's been a change of plans. I'm off to the canteen to gouge my eyes out with a big fork. Bye."
