Question for Joe or George

[Airtraffic]

I think it safe to assume the office is playing deathmatches from time to time (development purposes only of course)

So who's the best in the Office? old farts or the new kids?

My moneys on Joe,for some reason i think he's an intense gamer http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Weird thread idea... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/redface.gif
Anyways..! My guess is Charlie Wiederhold... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Don't kow why... He just looks like a gamertype dude..! http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/redface.gif

Allen Blum. He has been there for atleast 13 years that means he has been a gamer for atleast as long, very likely longer, much longer.

Plus he is the lead level designer(I think) that could help him seeing as he probably knows the levels in and out. But ofcourse Scott has been a gamer since what around , what 1975 ?

Keith Schuler is also a level designer and has also been there for a long time.

George is the project leader and an avid gamer, he to could be a safe bet.

Yeah, Kieth..! I forgot about him..!

George has answered this once before I'm sure. He said somebody "came out ahead" in a then-recent DM match he used as an instance. Wish I could remember who it was.

[hell-angel]

I doubt it's Joe because he has recently said that he does not know much about DNF because he is to busy with other things (i.e. the forums, network, etc.)

So, was he important or not? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
I bet so, he was lead modeler/animator for some time at 3dr http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

[Kristian Joensen]

That is probably why he left, he like level design better !!!

That is it. He certainly must have left on amicable terms seeing as he got everyone at 3DR free copies of HL2.

[FireFly]

How do you know he got everyone free copies of HL2? I thought it was standard practice for game companies to send each other games for free. For example, I know Remedy sent everyone at Valve a copy of Max Payne 2.

Do you think he's as good as the other Matt Wood? (http://www.mattwood3d.com/index.htm)

[Kristian Joensen]

"How do you know he got everyone free copies of HL2?" Joe said everyone got free copies of HL2 because they knew someone over there.

I might be standard practice, but that doesn't mean that they will send them to just any company.

Btw, Matt Wood tested MP2, so it is probably the same connection.

[FireFly]

No, but I'm just saying we don't know the complete reasons behind the decision.

[Kristian Joensen]

Ofcourse not, I am not claiming that. I just think my theory is likely, very likely even.

True, but isn't Scott the owner of 3DR, while George is only Co-owner..!?
(Even though, i think both are equal to each other in the gaming industry..!)

[Kristian Joensen]

There is no distinction there both are co-owners. Beeing a co-owner just means that there is more than one. Fujitsu and Siemens are co-owners or Fujitsu Siemens. In that case they each own 50% of the company.

[SyntaxN]

My bet goes for a programmer who knows some little commands ( http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif ) or for a level designer who created some secrets on the maps for the 3dr matches http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (A Bungie level designer did that....he created a room (behind a wall which wasn´t a wall) with all the weapons, extras etc... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)

I can already imagine them threatening each other with a lower payment..!

George: "Hey Scott..! If you detonate those pipebombs, i'm gonna cut off 25% of you payment..!"

Scott: "Oh yeah, well, if you do that, i'll cut off 50% of YOUR payment..!"

Kieth: "Haha, you guys should have seen when..."
