Oh jeez xD

Is this even real? It just seems to hilarious. Even moreso if the boss could keep a straight face after reading the log.

Oh come on.

This is the oldest griefer game in the book, lure someone into a cyber-sex encounter and post it.
I can't believe you guys are feeding this nonsense by giving it column inches.

Yeah, can the GM cause he proved hes too damn stoopid to be trusted with GM powers. But lets all otherwise grow up and get lives, shall we?

They fired him!?

I'd fast-track him to the head of PR and marketing! Heck, its a lot better than their idiotic attempts at attracting attention recently! 'Oh, look! We're better than WoW! Well, kinda. Maybe. Ish. For the first ten levels, anyway!'

But now, it's 'COME TO US AND WE HAVE CYBERSEX WITH YOU!'

That is novelty.
No... that's second life.

You have to pay for it with $L though.

It wasn't his job.

The AoC GMs are volunteers.

A very very bad idea... putting volunteers in charge of running your tens of millions of dollars project. But when you don't care enough abt your customers to do real customer support, its about the only option.

Btw... I don't get it...

Why does it being a "real life female" matter or not?

( A ) Your not really sticking your dick in anything other then maybe your left hand

and

( B ) Aren't there plenty of 'real life females' you'ld not want to do? I know there sure are oens I wouldn't.

How does knowing that the other set of hands on a keyboard have some boobs attached and don't have a dick really matter??

It seems to me this is the equivalent of having to know that a porno novel you just picked up was written by a women to somehow make it "alright."

So relax, homophobes of America. Reading and even enjoying sexy stuff about a woman written by a guy does NOT "make you gay."

Wow, that is a major flaw. Who figured that would be a great idea?

Lol if you sad enough to do it then once it has this much publicity I would say thats punishment enough (although I might put up a few 4 foot banners in the office with pics of him, screen shots and quotes)

It's free.

As for the GM, well, my question is why couldn't he just go online and look up pornography? It seems less risky...

AHAHAHAHAAHA BARNYARD ANIMAL!!!11

sorry bout the caps XD

But really, I think cybersex is the most ridiculous thing humans can do. Yeah, i feel embarrased as a human that other humans do that. I can just imagine that guy's dog watching him thinking "Wtf? Freak, I'm going to go take a dump on the doormat and YOU can clean it up...dumbass"

Holy shit, holy shit-- I'm tearing up here. This is the best thing I've seen in weeks.

This is like, the gamer's equivalent of the Bill Clinton scandal.

Well that made some form of priceless reading. To the fellow involved I salute you sir, and kindly request you remove yourself from the genepool, and thank you to Candy who has brightened my day immeasurably.

Now back to work ... maybe if i can stop crying with laughter

That was even better than this:


uh, never played AoC or anything by "FunCom" but is no cyber sexing in the terms of service? -or are Game Masters not allowed to have sex on the internet, and in AoC of all things...probably with Yahtzee's character or something of that nature? Is it because GM's are "customer service" employees?

I need answers because right now in my eyes, this is just a fucking hilarious cyber sex convo that I see no real reason why he should have gotten fired, but, it's still funny. Yeah he's an idiot and unprofessional but I don't know what the hell a game master is anyway, nor what the AoC ToS is.

Candy: You're just as kinky as me
Candy: Infact you're so kinky, you just cybered with a dude :p
Candy shouts: THIS IS SPARTA
Yeah, Zack Snyder should have had that in the 300 sex scene.

Precisely. Funcom doesn't understand that the most important part of an "Online Game Service" is that it is a *service*. They are still thinking like packaged game developers. They don't really want to be bothered with how people use the content, after they write it they want to wash their hands of it.

This shows in their entire abysmal attitude towards customers and customer service and is killing an otherwise promising game.
