Personal message to SOE President John Smedley. Everyone else DO NOT READ!

Dear Mr. Smedley,
I am writing to you using the medium of this forum because I know you have had to change your own personal email accounts several times over the course of the last two years due to the mass hostile traffic received relating to the NGE. I also know you read this forum relentlessly like a serial killer visiting and revisiting the scene of his greatest crime in an effort to expiate his self-hatred.
It must now be evident to you that the NGE has proved to be a commercial and, certainly, marketing failure. Subscriptions have fallen from a high of 264,000 in November 2005 to a low of below 50,000. It seems that Bioware and your partner LA are creating a new SW MO leaving your company out of the loop. And then there's the persisten rumour your company is going to be sold out beneath your feet to Zapak; hell, can you imagine being bought out by Harold and Kumar and the Kwi-E-Mart, for goodness sake?
In other words, you're up a certain creek without a certain paddle. So here's my offer:
You bring back a few pre-CU servers and I personally will give you $200.
It's a one time offer. I'll paypal it to any account you name anywhere in the world. You don't have to declare it to the IRS or even your puppet-masters in the Sony Group. It's just an easy two hundred fat ons to buy Johnny a treat. Sweet.
I am sure that, shall we say 'like-minded' mmorpg.com-ers may also chip in with a few bucks. They'll make their offers in the posts below.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
Hubert Grove
PS. I'll chip in another deuce if, next time you see Julio Torres, you treat him to a little chinmusic like from a Mickey Spillane novel if you can raise your doughy mitts that high without getting out of breath.

I'm in for $200, but I don't have PayPal do you except checks?
See that John? With my $200 and Swift's $200, that's a sweet $400 or, if you use SOE's numbers-inflating calculations, a million dollars. What are you waiting for? Push the 'On' button, Smegley! The world is waiting!
but seriously before this gets locked please refer to this thread

almost done...
so close i can taste it..
It's a push in the right direction guys, but something tells me 400$ isn't really that appealing to Smed.

Excuse me! Please don't rub John's face in it. Our $400 will go to buy him hot food and shelter when he gets canned and are dancing, singing, eating fine cheese and crackers as we play the [FORBIDDEN GAME] and, if we get tired of that, the Bioware SWG MMO.
This is pretty funny. I mean seriously you are really desperate. I won't be giving any money, but I can guarantee i'd return to the game if they released a "Classic" server. EQ1 did it. DAoC did it. SWG can do it.
Maybe he's to proud of himself? I dunno.

Well come on then, chip in:
$5 will buy Mr. Smedley a moment on the toilet when he pauses for a moment and reflects, 'Was the NGE really the right move?'
$10 will buy a reflective two minutes looking out of his office window while the rain falls on Austen to sad music
$25 will buy a ten minute session in the confessional of his local church as he weepingly tell the priest, 'Forgive me father but I introduced the NGE'.
$50 will buy a long pull-back chopper shot of Smedley on his knees in the dust screaming 'Nooooooooooo!'
$100 will buy a long, drawn out, wheedling conference meeting with the combined SOE and LA development team as Mr. Smedley tries to ask them to bring online a pre-CU server without iusing the words 'I' or 'Was' or 'Wrong'.
Finally $200 will get you Smedley trotting into the NYPD 4th Precinct station like Kevin Spacey in '7' but instead of confessing to a string of serial killings, instead he says: 'The NGE? It was me. I couldn't help myself. I waive my right to legal representation. Now give me the chair'.
LMAO!!!! That's too funny! I wonder if Zapak would give oh Smed a job cleaning the slurpee machines?

It's not pride...it's ignorance (lack of intelligence). When some people make it big in any career, it goes to their head and it's hard for them to admit they are wrong or have made mistakes. Hell, Britney actually thinks she's a good mother........They actually believe they are perfect in their distortion of reality.

You mean the thread that got WTFPWNED by Taera? Seriously, do you jokers ever learn? And anyone who agrees with the OPs post, and thinks it's in any way going to influence anything, please stay the hell away from the Bioware mmo, no matter what it is.
EXCUSE ME?????????? AFTER HOW MANY BLOODY YEARS OF PAYING FOR A game we have to pay more to bring back the game we once paid for in the first place?? WTF?????? IS THE MATTER WITH U PEOPLE?? I tell u one thing if I had the resources soe,la, and who ever else has something to do with SWG would be in court for many years and sued for every dime WE THE PEOPLE HAVE PAID FOR!!
Dam u lucas,soe for pulling the greatest mmo we have ever played!!
Unfortuantely, we are a nation of laws and liars and the lawyers and courts would just take your money. HEll, if you had that kind of money, develop a SWG clone and alot of us would pay to play it.

Taera doesnt understand a whole lot of things actually , dno how that person managed to become apart of the moderating team since the person claims that SOE have never officially allowed swg emu / pre cu servers, but funny enough it was them who released the old server code in public for people to use it as they wished , but yea oh well can't expect poor Taera to understand that
List of SOE lies
No baiting the mods! Not before I get my bribe for Mr. Smedley up to £210 (ie around $440) - ie. enough for us to afford this:

I love when people speak with logic and actually know WTH they're talking about. Thank you Kwai.

Thats the whole problem ... we r sheep we do as the "kings" say no one has the balls to stand up and say "HEY SCREW YOU" till then we all sip on slop and alfalfa!!
ALFALFA......
Please stop trying to have my funny little thread closed down by spamming when the rest of us are just joking and having fun.
$250 will be enough to get Mr. Smedley to use the Sony corporate jet to fly to your nearest city, visit your house in the corporate Sony Myata and sit in uncomfortable silence, moaning and groaning on your living room sofa while your mom whispers loudly; 'Is your friend all right? Does he want to use the T-O-I-L-E-T?', as you realise that John is actually trying to say sorry but unfortunately his Apology Gland is so withered from underuse that to do so would be like passing a giant steel pineapple.
People please keep this post on topic,
Thanks.
Poor old Smed. He's just as hated as the guy who cancelled Star Trek!!
I agree. So, how much can I put you down for? $300?
$300 will buy a every special moment when you wake up with a start one morning, as the sun dapples through the window shutters, to find yourself being spooned by Mr. Smedley.

Now most people would have placed my above post in the 'Horror' genre.
A Smed-a-thon?
I love it!
Put me down for 200 credits.... or free buffs for 1 month. : )
Hell, I'll even throw in a slightly used light saber.
