As I watch another app on a game enter its third week of inactivity, I draw a great many conclusions about the people who staff it. Volunteer or not, after a certain point, my interest doesn’t wane, it rots.

The concept of “the squeaky wheel gets grease,” combines with “the second rat gets the cheese,” really. If someone speaks up against staff idleness, they’re being un-mutual to the game itself; if they remain silent, well they clearly enjoy the silence, and are hoping it doesn’t change.

What constitutes a polite reminder by intent may not appear as such to a particularly-idle staffer.

A tragedy to the entire Terminators-fueled-by-kittens community, I’m sure.

After a long time of patience and effort, my physical degree was sent to me in the mail, and my happiness is immeasurable.

It hangs on my wall over my desk, right next to a framed autograph of Jeffrey Coombs, because the frames match and I am not being monitored adequately.
