Subject: Employees Posting

So something I've noticed and with good reasoning is that the two main employees to post in the Bungie.net forums are Urk (our community manager) and Achronos (our god I mean Webmaster? Website Developer? Creator of Awesomeness AKA bungie.net)

Either way have you ever noticed how Urk's post seem to be much more layed back and Achronos's are much more business like... Well I guess thinking bout it now there is also jeremiah and stosh and other people but Urk and Achronos are the main ones.

But has anyone ever seen Urk make a post in the public forums that is strictly business related (like explaining something) with no sarcasm or sillyness? And vice versa have you ever seen Achronos just do something silly like crack a joke and that's all? Or post a smiley or something...

This was just crossing my mind as I perused(I think that's the word I'm thinking of) the crimson forums...

I also think this was a creation of my subconscious hope that one of them would post simply to prove me wrong. But I doubt they wanna browse the site on weekends during there time off... Do I sound somewhat ranty?

I believe Achronos once said that "It will be a cold day in hell when I allow smilies on Bungie.net".

There is also the possibility that I have it backwards, but usually I laugh at achronos posts.

Achronos on himself/Bungie.net:
Of course not. Have you seen the guy in charge? He's inside, but wearing sunglasses? He's obviously hiding something. Possibly something about your Mom... And what the hell is up with that lightning in his avatar? That mad scientist vibe is a little creepy. No, I certainly don't trust bungie.net.
I believe that to be a sarcastic post indeed.
Also he's the Overlord. He cleans up after the Webmaster, he isn't actually the Webmaster.

... Or is he?

This. If they feel they have something to add, funny or not, to a thread they will.

I vividly remember Achronos stating: Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

Achronos does have a sense of humor, its just more subtle, it's pretty funny if you pick up on it,

Well what I mean is like, achronos has always come across as a no nonsense guy and gets straight to the point. Urk tends to lead you on with witty banter.

Like when I remember one post about someone complaining about people posting "this" (I won't name names) Achronos was straight to the point, "There is no reason for it, why are you trying to add more rules?" stuff like that.

Where as in the crimson forum I remember a post about someone complaining the IPad is not a gaming platform and that they shouldn't help an mobile dev company and focus on pc/360.

Urk could have been straight to the point about what makes the IPad a gaming platform by defining what a gaming platform is, and such that the IPad has thousands of games there for making it a legitimate platform to develop games.

But answers with

I played it and I can confirm that it is, in fact, a game. A game that you can play on the iPad.

Furthermore, I'm not wearing pants.


Which prompted the guy to mention you can also play games on some watches leading Urk to say this

You can play games on a table. A table is not a game.

YOUR MOVE


Almost seems more like a game, or a cat toying with it's prey so to speak. Urk knows he's right and has the writing skills and knowledge to completely disprove the guy but he makes a game out of it and enjoys himself.

Maybe I'm over thinking this...

EDIT: After reading the quote from achronos I take back my statement about him being all business all the time...

I'm tired and going to bed before I say anything else stupid or make a fool of myself in some way... Good night B.Net!

Correct. The difference between urk and Achronos' posts: urk doesn't have a dull response to a thread (eat it, Achronos). But whatevs.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Achronos saves all of his witty banter for HFCS. It's a barrel of laughs in there when he's posting. Usually he makes spam threads, forum games, or posts links to shock sites, but sometimes he trolls us hard or evades the profanity filter.

On the other hand, Urk is all business in HFCS. No-nonsense, no-bull, no-hand-holding straight talk.

I guarantee* you this is the truth.

You stress a good perspective, but when Achronos posts then it's usually to help someone, but when Urk posts it probably meant for humor.

Of course this isn't always the case, as I've seen both be sarcastic/funny and business like/helpful.

I remember Achronos once posted a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head that said "I don't know what you're talking about, so here's a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head".

I'm sorry to be saying anything about any Employee of Bungie. But Achronos has his Funny side he does post photo's in some Threads he makes Humor jokes, and stuff URK his job is to be apart of the community it's in his description at bungie but he does'int have to be how he is. He can just be all about Business like BS Angel on the 343 Industries website thats, why we love BUNGIE!
