Title: Whoa! Big news at HTC!
Post by: Wanker on April 01, 2002, 09:38:18 AM
Just got this email from Pyro this morning. There was a big move made today, that I think you all should know about. I'll just paste the email here:

"Hi John, we've been pretty busy this weekend working out the details on some things that will transform Aces High into the high-powered money making machine that we've wanted it to be all along. First, we've made offers to a key member of the community to help us improve gameplay in AH. Therefore, I'm pleased to announce, effective immediately:

Lazs has accepted a position as Aces High Gameplay Czar . Lazs' multiple years of  positive and constructive suggestions on how to make AH more fun has finally swayed us to bring him onboard. We look for Lazs to grow our customer base in the MA and CT by eliminating the over-hyped bombers, reducing gameplay choices and focusing on what really makes AH rise above the plethora of other online sims out there: furballing. Yep. You know, HiTech and I were really out of the loop on how important furballing was to the general AH community, and thanks to Lazs we've finally woken up. Man, this is going to be great. Hitech is kicking himself for spending all that time trying to develop more interesting and varied forms of gameplay choices for everyone. He realized that Lazs was actually right, and that most people who have been flying online flight sims for years and years, really only want to furball.

Yep, ol Lazs is gonna be a great asset for us. His personal charm and ability to use logic without hyperbole is really going to help us contract our gameplay options for the community. I mean, the man is brilliant! Who would have thought that the solution to growing a business and making money is to shrink your options and choices for your player base? Whew, I'm glad that he's onboard with us now. Dale and I are feeling great about being able to stop development and just rest on our laurels.

Just thought you'd like to know this ahead of time before I make the announcement.

Talk to you later,

Doug"


Wow, congrats Lazs! You've really earned this, and I'm really looking forward to your contributions to the community!

April Fools?  Does this mean my job offer for HTC Customer relations was most likely an April Fools joke too?

And here I was expecting something subtle for All Fools Day.  You know, set up a terrain where no country has two fields geographically next to each other; they're evenly distributed across the map.

:D

Think deeply on the chosen subject and subject matter.

The unpublished last paragraph..

"Sadly, these changes obviously neccesitate the disbanding of the Scenario Corps as useless dead wood. I'd like to thank you and your team for your efforts in the past and once again for showing us that a Committie is the only creature in creation that has 50 stomachs and no brain."

:D
