DAE2008 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Especially not from the new CEO. "...slightly over 21. :)" What. The. *scream*. One of the top fellows in Jagex used a smiley face in his introduction "speech". You wouldn't get someone who's to take over a company giving a speech and in the middle say, "wicked". SORT HIM OUT.

langer Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 That's just the new CEO trying to reach up to the average player..hence kids. What's wrong with trying to stay young? Would you have liked if he had showed you financial charts of why removing the old wilderness was more profitable? Corporate announcements can be painfully boring and impersonnal. I'm glad this one was more human than what you can expect from a bank. Stop being so uptight.

Nurse_Renard Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I could just imagine this in real life; "I have came up with a plan to stop the credit crunch, forever!

wurmskin Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I agree with the thread author, don't be taken in by his false words and smilies! This is what he wants you to think - after he has what he wants he'll just throw us away like we're expendable rubbish.

Smapla Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 you're angry because the new CEO of an extensive company, who is just starting the job, took the time to smile at you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenkana Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Lay off the guy. I happen to agree with what he's saying. I.e., that things like using symbol smiley faces and trying to sound hip make this sound like just another lame corporate attempt at gaining children's favor. It feels false and patronizing. Now, it may be that he's totally honest. But this sort of talk lends a "I'm one of you guys and not, in any way, shape, or form, a soul sucking corporate vampire who only sees you as future pounds and pence. Now, let's go shred some mad pipes, dudes!!!" If the CORPORAL beast is this hard, imagine how hard a GENERAL or COLONEL beast would be. a corporal is not even an admirable rank in armies that use that ranking system. Yeah, it is a pking minigame, so any arguments anybody makes will probably be biased.The best way this will end :Everybody just says,"I'm not arguing with you anymore, goodbye."The worst way this will end: I don't really know, psychological warfare?

Wongtong Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 He's just trying to come off as a nice person. So what, are 21+ people banned from using smilies? Or was it just because of what it was used in? (a 'speech'?) 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

unjustblood Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 It took you 5 days of looking at that news post to realized he made a smiley and that you needed to rant about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Shahdie Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I think it is very humanizing that he used a smiley. Its nice to get the impression that Jagex's CEO isn't exactly all that uptight. Of course that post could have been entirely written just to keep up with appearances but I'm remaining optimistic for now and will take it as genuine. ~Retired 13-July-2010~Thanks for the great memories folks :).

Piccy Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 He's just trying to be nice to US, HE could just close the whole game and laugh over it tbh. (not likely :P) If he wants to smile to us, let him do so :D And honestly, if he can't use smilies, we all could be banned for using them :XD: Thanks to Vey for the hawt siggie <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veritas94 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I rather like him. Take it easy, he sounds like a person who is genuinely knowledgeable and invested in Runescape, wants to see it and all its players have a great time, and is willing to take responsibility for his actions. He even apologized for a few mistakes Jagex has made in the past. Using a smiley doesn't detract from any of the above - cut the guy some slack.
