Staff announcements

*Stinger* · 10-09-2004, 09:16 AM

A couple big announcements for you this week.

First, we're extremely excited to have the one and only Laura MacDonald joining Adventure Gamers as Senior Editor. Laura brings with her a lot of editorial experience from her tenure with GameBoomers and a frighteningly extensive knowledge of the adventure industry and the genre's history. Having her on board is a wonderful opportunity for the site and I couldn't be happier that she's with us! Look for Laura's first contribution to our site within the week.

Also, I want to recognize that three of our writers have been going above and beyond to be involved in the direction of the site since joining us earlier this year, and I feel the level of responsibility they've willingly taken on should be reflected in their title (and we all know I'm pretty much a whore for titles). So, we have promoted Jack Allin to Assistant Editor and Kirk Latimer and Emily Morganti to Senior Writer. Please congratulate them. As a special bonus for this promotion, I have doubled their pay.

We need, like, a confetti smiley or something, but in the meantime this will do:

***Marek*** · 10-09-2004, 09:22 AM

Congratulations all around, and a special welcome to Laura!

Congrats to Kirk and Emily! That other guy is a moron.

Yay for Laura and the promotion of good people!

LauraMac · 10-09-2004, 11:26 AM

Ahhhh what a great cocktail, mmmmm

Hi, thanks. no not Laura twins - brrrrrr scary thought that one.

Yup. Damn glad to be here. I mean I can't leave, Evan took my keys so well I guess I am officially in the house now.

And the promotions were all well deserved for Kirk, Emily ..
and that other guy too.

Gatorlaw, is that you?

colpet · 10-09-2004, 01:06 PM

Congrats to you all! Nice to see more familiar 'faces'.

Kirk · 10-09-2004, 01:09 PM

Evan, you made me cry.

I'd do anything...I mean anything...just to see you call yourself a whore again.

Love it!

Congrats, Jack. Your efforts and continued presence at the site is more than admirable.

Emily, you too are most valuable, and I am beyond proud to share such a title with you.

Without a doubt, Adventure Gamers is not just a great site; it's a place many people, including me, can safely call "home".

Thanks much!

Kirk

LauraMac · 10-09-2004, 03:37 PM

Yes Monkey man, tis I

And Colpet - good to see you too

Kirk · 10-09-2004, 04:28 PM

My mistanke in not mentioning it earlier.

Laura. Welcome aboard. I hear wonderful things, and I am looking forward to working with you here at Adventure Gamers.

I am sorry I forgot to include you in the list above.

Best wishes,
Kirk

Here's to more strong drinks for all!

And umm... welcome to Adventure Gamers Laura MacDonald.

***fov*** · 10-09-2004, 06:07 PM

I, too, quite enjoyed the whore comment. Though I was hoping for a title along the lines of Queen Bee, I guess this will do.

I am honored to be listed alongside such... er... honorable people.

Congratulations, Laura. And to everyone else, of course.

Having met and been interviewed by her, I can only say that Adventure Gamers has taken a substantial leap forward in its credibility. Well done for obtaining her valuable services.

***Marek*** · 10-10-2004, 01:44 AM

Hear, hear

DasJan · 10-10-2004, 02:18 AM

Hi Laura!

Hmm... What does that say about Adventure Gamers before Laura joined?

Certainly not what you're trying to imply that I'm saying.
