The last time Tarrant posted was Oct 29th:

http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?p=3371893#post3371893


I wonder if Jerry's (Mockduck) taking over for him and that's why Jerry hasn't been allowed to say exactly what his job will be there at Turbine??

What are you going to do with a +1 sickle and bracers of sustenance?

Not necessarily. It's possible someone else there at Turbine is logging into his account to address anything important he might be getting in PMs.

Doesn't anyone find it odd that his last post was on the LAST Friday of the month??

Heh... people do take a week off here and there.

wow... did anyone else just have the "Ding, Dong, the Witch is dead" song from the Wizard of Oz run through their head after reading this topic?

What a pleasant thought to start off my weekend with, thanks Arkat.

I heard a Wizard of Oz but not that Oz,





Well that's what immediately came to mind when I read it, but then this one came to mind:



and seemed to make more sense

His severance agreement (IF he was fired) might not allow him to do that...

Not likely.  He may not be able to talk about Turbine for a period of time but I highly doubt they'd restrict his access to fansites.  Think about the implications of that for someone in his line of work.

Don't you have to actually work at something, before you can take a holiday from it? Just curious  Grin

Do you think he'll even want to come here, given that we might have a hand in it?

Yeah, that is a more likely restriction.

Well if he did, I'd certainly be willing to hear what he had to say before deciding whether I'd want him around or not.

I'm a pretty fair dude when it comes to stuff like that.

I doubt he'd be gone. It seems like Turbine is doing some staff-shuffling, what with 404error going from QA to running Mournlands and Jerry being hired. I know of one other from-the-community hire they've done recently as well.


Could be he's just on vacation, too.


And if he got fired, then I honestly feel bad for him, despite my not agreeing with everything he's done or said. It's a bad time to be jobless - I know. 


/shrug
I'm hardly playing the game anymore, and find the politics of it all getting beyond dull. If he's fired, there will just be somebody else to replace him. He ascended to Q's throne, after all. If not, then at least it's a devil we know.

Holiday season is here.  Staff is going to be taking time off and I would think over the Holidays more players will be on so  they might want some to take early vacation so the game and forums are covered the whole season

Do you think they set up a DDO lottery lookalike to choose who?
