I don't like to accuse anyone so I decided to consider him as a Trickster from Supernatural. Now I'm waiting for Dean to kick some 🐸🐸🐸🐸 or at least sing eye of a tiger.
I've said all I'm saying. I wasn't suggesting anybody was trolling anybody, just that there'd be more of a reason to do it in that situation. I can't unsay it, nor will I. The end.
I didn't think they were. I wish I could explain what I meant in a better way. Since I can't, I won't.
X: I just received an e-mail.
Y: Ok, show this email.
X: <Here comes silence>
Y: So there is no email?
X: You don't have any evidence!
No, I don't have. But I don't have also any evidence that this email exist. I don't know you and I don't have a habit of believing strangers. As I said, I don't want to accuse you of anything and that's why I have chosed to think about you as a Trickster, not someone evil. Its nothing personal - I have 'no proof no fact' policy since I was a little kid. And I'm not buying this whole 'protecting leaker' stuff because you can easily cover traceable parts.
Ima just leave this here...
But we're all pretty sure at this point that these leaks are coming from EA themselves. How else would they:
a) Know the email addresses of everyone on the forums
b) Have information about the pack at all
c) Create a Speculation/Rumours section just after the pack was rumoured?
Therefore, the actual creators of the content must want to leak the information (as the leaks are probably coming from them) but management won't let them. It's a good business move because I've seen many people on this forum losing interest because of a lack of information, myself included.
How do you do this? I am so terrible with computers...
@Swiftlover13 - easiest way: use print screen option on your keyboard, open Paint, click 'paste' and then cover by any option (draw a square or use pen). 'Save as' and voila!
I'll work on it right away!
What really gets me thinking is this: Lets say this is indeed a team member that has decided to go rogue and spill these tidbits, why only on the expansion pack? Why not elaborate on other areas the community has wanted more information on? If you are going to violate an NDA might as well go all the way.
If this leak turns out to be true I am almost pushed towards thinking this is some sort of strategic PR move from the marketing side of things. I just feel that it is a bit "weird" for the team to go essentially radio silent for so long, and go through great lengths to explain why they can't discuss X, Y, and Z. Then out of nowhere someone on the team decides to rebel? If it is a marketing scheme I'm not amused at all. In fact, I'd find it rather distasteful if the best they can come up with is to take advantage of the community in this way.
Anyway, time will tell whether or not this is in fact real. I'll wait it out.....
I am pretty sure these leaks are not coming from EA. As a group, they would not go against what their management has decided to do (or not do) and release info as leaks just because they want to. They all would be fired. However, that doesn't mean one employee didn't make that decision on their own.
a) They do not have our email addresses unless we have given it to them. Have you given them yours?
b) Maybe they work for or know someone who works for EA. Still does not make it right to break your non-disclosure agreement.
c) The Spec and Rum thread was created because the Gen Disc thread was being over run with speculation, so, now it has it's own home out of the way where fantasies can run amuck.
It's possible one employee (who may lose their job) leaked info. It does not follow that all were in agreement with that person and gave them their permission. And you still are not admitting to your part in this process. You may (or may not) have been sent info that should not have been sent to you. It then becomes your responsibility to do what is right and ignore it or do what is wrong and post it. You choose the later. You can not say that just because someone else broke their NDA and sent you this info that it is out of your hands and you have no responsibility in the matter. You are an accessory to a crime, and it is a crime because an NDA is a legal contract with legal repercussions. As I said before, they stole the banks money, you drove the car.
I've send you Private Message, I hope it helps.
homestyle cooking just means non-gourmet cooking (aka "regular" cooking). It's what its reffered too if you need to type in the skill level though the skill level cheat
Thanks @Shakuahi !
Not buying it, @Swiftlover13. Points for not giving up, though.
Calm. Down.
Have a Snickers.
Edit: I am calm. You don't want to see me otherwise. And I'm allergic to peanuts but thanks. Candy is always appreciated.
Why? For giving the community their wishes? Pretty awful company to fire they most helpful employees...
