[PaulOakenfold]

I'm the CEO bitch! I ain't taking this email! Hold on, heh heh, let me have my COO take care of this very important matter.


wtf?

[Eeks]

Was the assurance that these emails were real not enough for you? I don't know what you intended to accomplish by contacting them.

He probably just wanted to get himself noticed.

Page 4, thread shoulda died in flames on page 1.

I will let you guys know of anything from the support from RapidShare. I'm using my email account from the law firm I work at to make this sound a bit more serious.

[veetee]

I was hoping that a serious suggestion that makes a 'global' change would require a professional representant. This could be either fake or relatively unimportant for them. Anyways the idea itself is interesting enough to negociate on it (despite the fact we have no say), so as to get an in-sight on their (if real) suggestions on the matter.

This, however, gives us a strong impression that this zone and game overall are in the need of, even drastic, changes that might manipulate the population trend. Best thing is to consider money gain, but how? Perhaps add adverts to zones or league? I do not know, but it could be a start for another thread: how to take actions that could resist the diminishing population? - Yes I know it has been discussed, but little or no actions were taken. Perhaps merging with another zone could do something?

I'm sure your German is impeccable. Really, out of the whole thing this is what you pick to talk about? Come on now.

A serious company has someone that will write these things for them.

[D1st0rt]

The dude can't even use proper grammar or syntax.

[DankNuggets]

so been absent awhile, is this really happening or is this sort of a eastern orthodox calendar April Fool's joke?

[PaulOakenfold]

And the whole topography of his motives, reasonings, and potential actions derived from those emails underlines that he is not a very competent leader either.

I doubt he's really 'running' the company. He might have the CEO title, but he sure as hell has a group of high paid managers that do most of the work for him. I'm sure he is the 'visionary,' whatever that means in these types of companies :grin:

[Lofty]

Yeah, semi-legal warez website doesn't have an educated owner go figure!

Yeah honestly, did anyone expect anything else? Nowadays internet success is sparked by random college undergraduates with a bit of luck. The dude can't even use proper grammar or syntax. And the whole topography of his motives, reasonings, and potential actions derived from those emails underlines that he is not a very competent leader either.

I think bram is in love with me. :wub:
