Thief (4) Features. What we know is in, what we know is out.

not everyone knows the usernames of EM people at Eidos forums.

I've been following the development news regarding T4, yet I have no idea who's who over at the EM forums, either. I stopped frequenting that site long ago and if there's a post somewhere in the Thief Forums giving the names/nicks, etc. of EM employees who also have EM forum memberships, then I must have missed it. There have been posts in TTLG wherein certain EM employees' names have been given, but not their EM forum nicks. As far as I know, that is.

:confused:

But you know who B1skit is, right?

Dia on 25/4/2013 at 00:33

I do now.

Though I have to admit the name sounded familiar; just couldn't place it. Him. Whatever.

One must admit, it is an awkward and forgettable name.

Renault on 25/4/2013 at 00:45

I was just wondering, I thought most people here knew who that was, even if they don't go over to the EM forums. No big deal.

For EM's CMs, we've had René (René Valen), Coyotegrey (Kyle Stallock), and now B1skit (Adam Badke).

For Eidos forum moderators who are members at TTLG, we have, off the top of my head:

thiefessa -- known there as MyImmortal, a.k.a., Viktoria (previously VIKTORIA), and her known accounts there have been merged under Viktoria, so references to MyImmortal, especially in quoted posts, are still there, as well as the all-capped variant.
Mr. K -- known there as Mr. K until he changed it to Jerion.
Master Taffer -- a recent addition to their mod squad, but registered years ago, known there as Master Taffer.
Romeo -- known there as Romeo.
smithpd -- our old friend, known there (and among friends) as Peter Smith.

Here's their Leaders list, if it reminds anyone:

Everyone here who followed the development of Thief 4 even slightly knows who the community manager is. Get out.

So what do you have to say to me now?

I don't get how you can't see that its totally, totally unreasonable to expect everyone who is interested in a game that is in development to know the username of a person from a forum that they the interested person doesn't frequent.

I hope you're not in charge of anything important in RL!

And I'm wondering if you ever asked me for a copy of the Fan Mission piece I wrote for thiefpetition.com when we were campaigning for the release of the Thief 3 editor...?

Vae on 25/4/2013 at 06:19

To be fair, I would say that most here are aware of the unfortunately named "b1skit", and his dubious role...So, both Brethren and Briareos are well within reason to think such a thing.

LOL, like I said, you're in a grumpy mood. You seemed so pleasant in our PMs. :laff:

If people post stuff in here, its up to you what you do with it.
Though spare us your lectures about the 'politically correct' way to go about it etc. Too ridiculous.

Listen dude, besides a four post-discussion about the editor that originated from a TTLG link, I haven't been to the Eidos forums in more time than I'd be able to count, I didn't even remember at first whether I had an account there. My point was that by reading TTLG and TTLG alone I knew who their CM was and what he had said. Quotes are everywhere, discussions too. If you have been following, you know who the people are and what's been said about the game.

Now, you're a person who started a thread hoping to compile a list of things that are official about the game. That's something rather commendable, especially considering the habitual level of discourse. Yet of all people, you mock others for expecting you to know about the Eidos community manager, although the information has been available all over the place in multiple threads? Give me a break.
