You know... I though I was being creative when I was designing Santiago-Yuri, my evil corporate conglomerate for the Phoenix Project. As one of their chief illicit tactics, I cited blaming crimes on a subsidiary, gutting it, firing everybody then buying up the assets through another subsidiary as a means of dodging litigation.

It appears I need to try harder, huh?
Yeah, you do. The statists in our government have been using that tactic for a while now on the private sector in the US. It's hardly novel.  :P

I know, right? Here are the rest of us, enjoying a perfectly pleasant conversation about avian carrying capacities and cargo storage techniques, when someone else wanders on in and derails the entire thread by getting back to the original topic.

Some people have no shame :P

(Edit: Just want to point out that was a joke, in case some people might think I was serious)

Right. I'm warning this thread to not get silly again.
It started out as a nice thread about a perfectly reasonable foreign company enacting some suspicious realignment, but then it just got silly.
I'm warning you to not let this thread get silly again.

It's getting so an honest shrubber can't make a decent living, anymore.
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

OH NO...

Another one of my dreaded mental collisions strikes again!

Replace the Knights and King Arthur with (or label them as) NCSoft Execs.


The Vorpal Bunny of Death (with nasty sharp pointy teeth!) is the Save COH movement.

And Tim the Enchanter is... well... Tim the Enchanter - and laughing outrageously as NCSoft gets torn to bloody shreds,

I have not seen so many people interested in the activities of tax accountants since Stuart used the Venus Butterfly on Ann on LA Law.

I am quite amused at my memory of this.

It's silly for this thread to get so silly...

Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

But does that mean that this new NCWest subsidiary is the holy hand grenade?  :(
