We've Been Named a North Carolina "Company to Watch"

[2fish]

Nice, now you are on the path to corruption and screwing over your users...erm the big time corporate world!

Lets hope you go big and take over more of the internet. I think this calls for a staff picture in the mr burns pose.

 

[Sevre]

Naturally I'm going to go for the impetuous route and start buying Themis stocks. If acting on impulse has gotten me this far...

 

[Giest4life]

In my haste, I read "We have been banned from North Carolina." Good thing that's not the case.

OT: Great job, guys, but I'm actually not surprised that you received this award. Now if you can move some place better, say, Northern Virginia, that would be perfect.

*applauds* Well done, well done.

 

[Atheist Pope]

Woot! I live in Chapel Hill, like 20 minutes away from Escapist HQ

 

[superbatranger]

Congratulations guys! Russ, break out the champagne and bonus checks!

Strippers too?

Si si, we need zee strippers with their skimpy bikinis and implants.

Well, now that you've been named a North Carolina company to watch, there can be only one thing left. To become the company to watch. Then we shall conquer the world!

If I'd known you guys were based in North Carolina while I still lived there, I... well, I'd probably have moved out of the state anyway. But I'd have felt much worse about it!

[small]Seriously, I couldn't stand those 106-degree summers anymore. My car has no working air conditioner![/small]

Still, congratulations!

I thought you meant like, government watch list.

They saw Ryan's Nerf arsenal on the last LRR and now they're watching for signs of a soft-foam insurrection.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Congratulations. Keep up the good work.

Is Themis Group some company over you that also owns other stuff or just a company founded for the Escapist for some off reason such as tax benefits or something similar? I don't like the idea that somebody has the power to change the one relieable gaming site.

 

[Snotnarok]

I think we need some truly under used words here. The escapist is Radical one could say ...tubular.

 

[VulakAerr]

I hope this place doesn't get spoiled now more people might know more about it...

This place is like 4Chan for people aren't cunts.

 

[smithy1234]

So when can I buy stock?

I thought when you said "Company to watch" I thought you meant in the McCarthy/Terrorism sense of the word. Got me worried there.

What's with the McCarthy terrorism comment? This is a real question. What does it mean or what is it about?

My surname is McCarthy and I do remember once when I was about 10-11 I was pulled over at an airport because of my name and related to terroism (I was on the terrorist watch list they said 0_o). Is it blatently obvious or well known 'cause if it is I will feel dumb.

Oh and congrats to the Escapist and Themis. Nice work but you are just that awesome.

 

[rddj623]

Congrats! Glad you guys got noticed for being awesome!

 

[Bassman_2]

For a sec I thought "Company to Watch" meant, "Keep an eye on it, it might go berserk!"
Gratz!

 

[Thunderhorse31]

I demand badges for all, ones with that logo in the OP.

Nah, when I say McCarthy, I'm referring to the senator Joseph McCarthy and the doctrine of McCarthyism. It's this paranoid anti-communist thing from the 50's, really radical and hateful.

When I say this is sort of like a McCarthy/Terrorist thing, I mean as in I thought that saying The Escapist is a company to watch sort of meant that the government was watching them at first.

Ahhh. McCarthyism. Isn't it nice to know that you are named after being accused of harsh and radical communism. Refreshing.

I read a little bit about it in my history class. (We were surposed to be doing WW2 but we seem to have done that subject so many times now it gets very grating) It's interesting stuff. Thanks for the information.
