hobo Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 May your first act as President be to take some more of our money and allow us to preorder CMBO. That is once you have sobered up. Good Luck, Hobo :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerxes Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 So moon gets all the dirty work, and you get to make games, fiendishly clever. He should really get the COO and CFO titles too. That way he has to do the taxes. But seriously, congratulations to moon and the BTS crew! Great game, great company, looking forward to lots more great things from you. -marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Adding a fifth staff member increases your staff by a full 25%. BTS is becoming a regular ENRON! Have you considered opening a couple hundred off-shore accounts or sponsoring any idiot presidental candidates recently? My only advice... take the fifth before the Senate hearings.

Enoch Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Ok, you've got President, Vice-President, Sargent-at-Arms, Progammer, and Graphic design all covered. When you want to hire your first corporate lackey just let me know. Congrats to Moon and BTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Folks, once again, thanks a lot for all your kind words. It's an honor and a challenge to be part of this as much as being part of this superb community without which all this wouldn't be possible. (that's you guys, well most of you ) Honestly though, nice things are heading your way and adding an extra person to take some pressure off the people doing the important stuff (that would be Charles, no clue what the other's are doing? ) was well overdue. Hm, five people - a few more and we'll need to form an Union. Now let's put this thread to a well-deserved rest on second page. There's work to be done! Quick, somebody hand me my cigar!

Here's hoping you never need that and long life and good fortune to BTS. Sounds like they made another good decision. Heartiest congratulations, Moon. Now, that you're comfortably ensconced in your palatial office, I had a couple of questions. X. When does CM:BB come out? 1.2: Can I pay now? You need operating capital, don't you? aa. pp.23. Is the glacis of the Panther really mismodeled? ~6/7. Brens were used with tripods, why aren't they modeled? 432. Flamethrowers, who needs them? MCMXV. Why do you let those Peng imbeciles use up all that bandwidth? xgi. How come nuthin' happens when I hit the "Go" button? (just kidding about the questions, of course) [ 01-25-2002: Message edited by: Moriarty ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hofbauer Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 It sounds smart to add a fifth guy to handle the business and administrative things and to free up resources for game engine work. I am very glad that this fifth person turns out to be Moon. Moon, I wish you all the best in your new job and function, I am sure you will need it, I think there's no little effort involved in your new responsibility. Alles Gute!

Kingfish Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Sigh, I guess this means now I'm the one that has to go up against Fionn in the CMBB Alpha battle. There goes my weekend. Anyway, Steve, please send me the setup as soon as you can. I'd like to start right away. Either side is fine with me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Okay, shows over. Moon may be the new El Presidenti but I hold the keys to the White House and as his personal body guard and aide I tell him what and where to go and do, and its time to GET BACK TO WORK!!! Welcome aboard Martin, feel free to pop in to my office whenever and we can discuss the "issue" of how to expedite the outgoing administrations "things"... BWHAHAHAHA...one step closer to the top...

Seanachai Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Congratulations, Moon. Though I shant recognize you as 'President' until you are appointed by a majority of conservative Supreme Court justices. Now, we've enough BTS employees for things to become interesting. When do the power struggles and purges begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 A well deserved honor for you Martin. I've enjoyed working with you in the past, especially our joint efforts on the CMBO tutorial. I wish you the best. I know you are qualified. BTS has a top-notch team. If you can just keep Madmatt sedated, it should all go well. A cheer for the Moon! Wild Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splash Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Seeing as I'm in the newbie tournament I figure I get to ask a newbie questions anywhere I want. BTS member number #42-- who is member #1? Let alone #12? brightly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's up to us to order enough copies of CMBB to pay all those star salaries ......... :eek: Cheers, Stefan.
