Hello Mattsie - ohhh Bye Mattsie

LauraMac · 12-21-2004, 10:01 AM

First I would like to announce that Mattsie has been added to the staff here at AG as Forum Announcement & PR Assistant. Meaning he already started working and does a whole lot of it.

He accepted this lot in life in exchange for a pile of fake cyber bucks (it was a tough negotiation) and of course the gratitude of myself and others he has been helping.

Now I also say goodbye as he is leaving to lay waste on europe in his quest for world domination while fullfilling his mandantory time in the military.

So hello Mattsie, new staffer - goodbye Mattsie departing staffer on Jan. 10th.

Fastest turnover in the history of quickly created titled positions here at AG and we have high hopes it will start a new trend of hit and run staffers.

So, thanks for all your fast hard work and we'll hold open your position for when you get back.

I was beginning to wonder why he was lately always the first one to open all kinds of key ag board threads.
Like the Bad Mojo developer chat

Here's my congrats for Mattsius on his former/future job.
He most definately is the right man for the job.

PS. Be a man and remember this: don't go to AUK under any circumstances. 6 months is the way to go.

Intrepid Homoludens · 12-21-2004, 11:49 AM

This mean I have to be nice to him now?

Um.....welcome?

Mattsius · 12-21-2004, 01:28 PM

Thanks a lot, Laura. It has been/is/will be great working with you.
That said, how about a raise?

Oh, and I'm a trend setter. Imagine that.

Don't worry. I would never go there. I am stupid, but not that stupid.

Thanks for the kind words.

They didn't give a friend of mine much choice. And you're going to Dragsvik, of all places...

Take care, friend.

***Jackal*** · 12-21-2004, 01:49 PM

Geez, Mattsius. I've heard some pretty wild excuses for shirking AG duties (most of them from myself), but joining the army just seems a little excessive. :eek:

That said, welcome aboard (sort of). And just so you don't feel expendable, instead of covering for you for 6 months, we'll let the work stockpile and leave you the backlog for when you get back.

Yes, we ARE that thoughtful.

Intrepid Homoludens · 12-21-2004, 01:53 PM

Yes, that's how we make staff feel all warm and needed here.

gillyruless · 12-21-2004, 01:56 PM

We will miss you, Mattsie baby.

Give those Russians hell. It's the job of the USA to invade Finland not Russia.

PS What pray tell is AUK by the way?

Don't worry. I'm covered (allergies and stuff).

I will, friend.

Aliupseerikoulu. My Finnish - English dictionary says it's N.C.O. Training College in English. N.C.O means non-commissioned officer.

Whatever THAT means.

Wormsie · 12-21-2004, 02:05 PM

Found it: "An enlisted member of the armed forces, such as a corporal, sergeant, or petty officer, appointed to a rank conferring leadership over other enlisted personnel."

***fov*** · 12-21-2004, 02:09 PM

In other words, don't go getting promoted, Mattsie. We wouldn't want you to have any *real* power.

I'll miss you too you silly gilly you.

Didn't you read Laura's post? I'm aiming not only for Russia, but for the rest of Europe when I'm at it (I think I'll start with Holland

).

AUK, how the hell am I supposed to be able to explain that?! Well, simply put AUK stands for something (hey, I'm not Finnish!) officer school. If you go to (more like get forced to) AUK you will have to be in the army for 12 months instead of 6 and I definitely don't want that. Capische?

EDIT: What wormsie said.

LeisureSuitedLooney · 12-21-2004, 03:44 PM

good luck, stay safe, and remember: Ernest was in the army and came out it okay...You will be, too!

Of course, Ernest also went to camp, got scared stupid, went to jail....

Upon further consideration, DON'T follow the path of Ernest!
