What I don't get is why, if an announcement would be out "soon (days)", why not just wait until the announcement was out to say anything? It's not like anything was going to happen in the next few days that needed to be prevented, was it?

Bored people with lots of pent up energy and nothing else to do often cause damage, including to the object of their boredom and each other. Some light and communication settles the nerves and things are less frightening. It doesn't hurt the buzz either.

because that's not the way cyan does things.

no, nothing needs to be prevented (i wouldn't think).

what IS needed is obtuse tidbits of info to feed the incessant speculation that we uruites are so ungodly good at - we never need much to spur that on. in fact, that one little tidbit has us plenty occupied and will continue to keep us focused on just what it all means...so focused, in fact, that we may just miss the actual announcement! :lol:

when it comes to cyan, it's all about the details and a bit of slight-of-hand. and storytelling.

a good storyteller ALWAYS keeps you guessing and always throws in a curve or two - and cyan has always done an excellent job at that!

Hold on everyone.
We are discussing about drastically changing the landscape of MystOnline.
I can't give any details yet but I promise it will very soon (days)!

Stay tuned! (and be civil out there).
Thanks,

I'm thinking a new community webpage. Yeah, that would be something.

I hope for Chogon sake the drastic changes in the landscape of MystOnline is worthy of the cauldron he started stirring within the community. Although I must commend him on the excellent way he can say so much and in the same post say next to nothing, its the one skill with words I never could figure out.

Political campaigns?? OMG he's a politician or a public relations or something :shock:

Remember folks: Chogon used the magic word "discussing". I take that to mean, "We just came up with this great idea we may or may not be able to deliver on (and still have to develop), but wouldn't it be cool if we could?"

Then again, maybe it just means the forum will be Christmas-themed for a few weeks! (runs away)

Like I said, people just can't resist having the last word on a thread.

Therefore, the last word is ---->BLIBBLE

Oh, darn, forgot my signature :cry:

Lynnutte · **Posted:** Fri Dec 12, 2008 1:18 pm

Nope. The last word is tomato.

I was thinking of throwing it at TOOO, but I think I'll eat it instead. :lol:
