But what rat would announce that he jumped ship to avoid the ship from sinking? And what rat can swim anyhow? Stuck on a ship in the middle of the ocean and jumping off to gnaw holes in another ship? I like pie.

I will quote from the interweb: Quote: Rats are natural born swimmers. They can tread water for up to three days, dive to depths of 100 feet and hold their breath under water for almost 15 minutes. It makes me wonder why they never enter the Olympics!

But... But... 2013 was a very good year?! How will we get pirate themed airships? Or player housing? Or yet another crafting system? Or moar epic commoner levels? We've got PLANS! This must be a vicious prank by those vile cheating Vaulties, intended to inflict suffering on the poor Turbine staff. I refuse to believe it. Go away.

	We must get that ladder exploit to dupe stuff consistently so that otto's boxes sales will go up, thereby increasing revenue so that them employees can return. How ever shall we manage if ever our beloved community manager gets replaced by a low-paid, yet reasonably more functional, yet-unknown peon that we shall for now label as "Flav?"

	If Jerry gets laid off, who will be the Council's new sugar daddy? does that mean they will have to start going down on Tolero instead of Jerry?

	I wanna try this: Saturday they are replacing many of the managers with Vaultie approved people, information obtained from years of research on the ddo vault via turbine. Tuesday they will start a rehaul of gear in ddo. With the knowledge of so many updates having 80% (generous number) of their gear worthless, they are remaking the gear to bring ddo players to explore and play old content that everyone ignores. Wednesday they start making Epic ToD/Amarath. P.S. Knowing how horrible it is to nerf quivering palm and give it a sad +4 boost for failure, they are going to allow momentum and lay waste to work with handwraps for monks.

Most of turbine staff are working on IC. To cull another 50% out of the few that remain on ddo is simply crazytalk. Now, if you are insinuating that IC is ready to ship and turbine will eliminate 50% of ddo's positions counted from prior to them shifting staff, that I could believe.

	I heard they are simplifying things a bit to attract more people to the game. You get to choose Warforged SORC or Warforged Wizard. SORC or WIZ. Spell choices are ummm...spells that slow. Oh and spells that have missile in the name. Less developers are needed as a result. Choices are HARD
