Tom Chick, Is this Anyway to Treat a Developer?

[Ed Solomon]

I don't know if Tom is still handling the vetting of new accounts, but somebody please activate David Dunham's (http://www.quartertothree.com/features/selling_direct/direct_sales_salvation.shtml) account. I mentioned I was from QT3 while exchanging emails about buying King of Dragon Pass, and he'd love to take part in Kalle's awesome KoDP thread. Which is pure kismet, since that thread is the whole reason I'm buying the game.

[Pogo]

Conspiracy!

[Kalle]

couldn't this have been handled with a pm?

[stusser]

I don't think he's deliberately dissing anyone. Try sending Tom a PM. Qt3 gets roughly 40-50 registrations per day, so there's a fair bit to thoroughly vet.

[Stroker Ace]

Tom Chick has shamed his ancestors!

[Ed Solomon]

couldn't this have been handled with a pm?

I could have and has been, but I didn't remember we even had private messages until after I finished the post. And it seemed a little anal to go back and delete my post, but then I'm not Scandinavian.

[stusser]

No, anal is Greek, not Scandinavian. As far as I know "Scandinavian" isn't slang for any sex act, although Swede is slang for giving head.

[Robert Sharp]

I once emailed ASharp about burning a disk for me. They did not. I say he should rot!

Wait, did he help make the game? If so, welcome aboard!

Oh yeah, I didn't actually think Tom was snubbing anyone, I was just riffing on the QT3 loves developers meme.

What would "Sweding the Greek" mean?

[Jon Rowe]

So what? A developer gets special treatment?

[stusser]

What would "Sweding the Greek" mean?
Analingus, which for some reason is not colloquially alluded to as any specific country. It is also known as "asian".

More specifically, "Dirt".

Did you not get a "welcome to QT3" gift basket of assorted soaps and chocolate? Had no idea it was exclusive.

[Pogo]

I joined QT3 and all I got were these stupid broken dreams.

[Robert Sharp]

That didn't give you the right to do the same to us, Pogo.

[Tyjenks]

I once emailed ASharp about burning a disk for me. They did not. I say he should rot!

Wait, are you sure you did not email yourself accidentally. You are A Sharp.

Hey-Oooooh!

[Niclas]

So what you're saying is that the application's mandatory lube and administrator housecall weren't mandatory after all?

[Morkilus]

Wait, are you sure you did not email yourself accidentally. You are A Sharp.

Hey-Oooooh!

Why don't you try emailing B Flat instead, I hear they are one and the same.

Hey-Oooooh!

[Pogo]

That didn't give you the right to do the same to us, Pogo.

Well if I can't have my cake and eat it too, then I might as well lace everyone else's cakes with cyanide.

[TomChick]

I'm perfectly fine with being called out for any accounts that are in limbo too long. You guys can post a thread, PM me, or drop me a gmail at my tomwchick address. A lot of times, I just ignore accounts for a while and then go through them all over the course of a couple of days, but I'm sure I've missed some here and there. And for guys like David from A-Sharp who don't know to send in an email, a word from someone like Ed should get everything taken care of.

P.S. And ducking into my Qt3 registration email folder, I see that David did indeed send me an email, so it all would have worked out in the end!

Yes, Scandinavian will probably just have to remain slang for being tall, good-looking and ridiculously fluent in English.
