Walsh lost control of CoE Sub Reddit

Slapshot1188

Seems like, in a continued pattern of ineptitude, Caspien and his merry band of speech-squelching Mods restricted the SubReddit so nobody but them could access it…. and forgot to login for 2 months so it then became claimable by anyone.

So someone claimed it, banned the inept Caspien and his mods… and reopened the doors for the public.

Just in case there was some sliver of doubt about the ineptitude of Caspien and his cohorts… this should seal the deal.

Sounds like a comedy of errors.

This is a pattern we saw from the start, the first for me being their seeming inability to understand that PvP players are not carebears and don't behave according to some sort of gentleman's gaming agreement. Other posters like Slapshot pointed out that that was just the latest in their mishaps including wasting time and money with a voxel version.

The key note here is a lack of management savvy; knowing your customers, good PR and sound planning of any kind seems beyond them.

Old news, I posted same story yesterday while many of you were sleeping, still on the front page.

Wrong section.  Nobody looks in The Pub.

Or the forum's front page apparently.

Yeah.  This would make a fantastic sit-com TV show.  But like a great show that just went on too long, the jokes are getting stale and most of the cast are just going through the motions.

If you could see how little progress he is making on his KoE game you’d have to wonder how even those few dozen diehard fans can not wake up.  

For a long time it was like watching a train wreck... but now it’s like watching another train on the same tracks... heading straight at the wreckage.

Recall when he shared his "team" structure he was their only engineer.

Failure (again) was inevitable.

Only, this may be the fifth (or later) train incoming, to match the train analogy and the facts.  How many clowns can get out of this insignificant little car?

The Office 2 staring Jeremy as David Brent would be great to watch though, maybe he would say something like this:

"Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain." Do you know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits."

I was actually going to mention The Office... it's what I had in mind when I posted.
