Maj day!

[Culver.Civello]

I declare today, April 4th, Maj day in name of MajMalphunktion! Let's show him support for all the things he does for us, regardless of the Nay-sayers! He lays it out on the line straight and to the point! We'd be a bunch of lost confused little puppies without him. You know it's true. Don't deny it.


TGWHTPTDWNRGG!!!

I was thinking about how this would work, and it seems awkward in my head and it is probably more so now, but hey! If this guy...

*Gag*...can have a million fan-girls, then surely MajMalphunktion deserves some! So today, show your crazy undeniable support for one of our favorite Turbine staff members!!! I'll GLADLY start off! I got my first companion today, and here he is. :D Dedicated to the MAN himself!

Eff Team Edward. Team Maj all the way!

I just threw up in my mouth.

[grayham]

Heck, why not. The more bile that all the d00msayers spew, the more I want to side with the developers. Happy Maj day!

[Dandonk]

Hail to the Maj he's the king of all Q-A-ters

I've always pictured MajMal as James Doohan. Unfortunately, the DDO code base is no where near as resilient as the Enterprise.

Thanks for stepping up, potentially to the chagrin if your superiors.

Sorry. Proof of your dedication. If you appreciate Maj enough to post after seeing that, then you are worthy of this thread. :D

Hmmm... I always pictured him as a Kobold. O.o Maybe a Kolbold with a MUSTACHE! Epic Kolbold. :D (Afterall, we all know that the driving force behind Turbine is a large amount of overworked enslaved Kolbolds. *The Sad Truth Reveals itself*) Hmmmm.... PHOTO EDIT!

And now this gives me the incentive to snatch-up one of those cute lil' kolbolds!

And, /props Culver for your effort to generate a support thread for the guy that we, the forums, just crucified (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?p=4392490#post4392490).

Perhaps he'll return to us. I truly hope that he will. But all of these folks that direct all of their DoooOOOooommm, hate, and negativity towards the Turbine staff through the forums really ruin our chances for open dialog. If you really hate the game that much to spew so much flith and poison at the Devs, just do us all a favor, and go ahead and /ragequit.

I too have never found a cause worth signing yet, until now.

Maj's presence on the forum has been invaluable on many levels.


Thank you

We meet bad******es in RL, while questing, in the forums, ... it happens, and we just go on.
Maj, don't let them prevent you from doing the right thing, because doing the right thing is, well, right.
Talking to your playerbase is right.

[RabidKoala]

we need Maj to post on here and see how much we all appreciate him

[Sleepsalot]

+1 OP this is what I posted in another topic ... And I will keep saying it. Yes I have had days and times that I may have been a PITA to Maj. But he is open and honest. Doesn't seem to hide behind words. Straight to the point. Sad so many Grown people need stuff all covered in fluff so their feelings don't get hurt. I have been accused several times on the forums for speaking my mind and not playing the Fluff game. I was raised not far from Boston must be a local thing say it plain and how it is.
Maj. Is in one of the hardest jobs out there..

Sleeps :D :) :D


Well I will say this. Devs and QA catch all kinds of junk. It is the most Thankless job going. Every one thinks it is just so simple. Wrong it takes many hours to make what seem like a min in the game. So yes I say good job when I think it is needed. I have been on both ends Dev and QA.. Devs get rode hard by QA when some thing gets Broken. Devs and QA get rode hard by people with the thinking I can do that. They must be Dumb..
Just my take and Rant..

yay Maj

/Signed

I remember what it was like a couple of years ago and we rarely if ever got any info about anything. Maj and the rest of the Turbine peeps are far better than those days. Better real information than sugar-coated platitides or total silence.

Long may it continue.

Please keep working on new content rather than minor bugs too!!!

He and all the devs deserve more thanks than they get. +1 OP.

Some people just love to be upset about anything and misunderstanding anything... ALWAYS ASSUMING the worst from someone on the internet, as in the 3D world outside your window, isnt an approach to life that I find worth living.

You paranoid people need to take a chill pill!

seriously? take your negativity somewhere else.


i'm no fanboy, far from it, but when a member of QA/dev team does as much as Maj has to communicate with us players, they deserve our recognition and praise, not derision and negativity

I did and named him MajMalphunktion as well. In fact I think we should start an drive to get everyone who supports Maj contribution to the community to get one and name him MajMalphunktion to show our support. Then all get together with the companions out and snap a pic.

Edit: Ilmost forgot /signed

As I've had, yesterday, to do to one of my customer what he did to us monday : tell him that the fix for his puny problem was going to take a looooong time to appear.

Oh and I need to rename two of my Kobolds : MajMalphunktion and Kookie Kobold. :D
I will keep the third one for a special occasion...

Hmmm... On a community forum that I moderate, our members have this little ritual they do when they want a staff member to appear and it usually works. Perhaps I'll try that.

Well I went further then that I sent him a PM. Still not here. He must be busy or I'm sure he would look..

Nope. We ran him off by being insulting, and petty. I wouldn't hold your breath about seeing him again soon.

*Diplomacy*: Rolls 1

Dang it. :/

[danotmano1998]

I'd say Maj deserves a pat on the back and a thank you for his straight talk.
His post wasn't over the top, nor was it bad.
It was tellin us straight up like it is.

I'd rather have them tell me "NO, we can't do that now." than glad-handling us and feeding us fluffy rhetoric designed to keep the mobs pacified. The posts crucifying him were totally uncalled for, IMO.

Time to buy me a kobold critter I guess. Are they still going for 30billion plat on the AH?

I didn't see a single post 'crucifying' anyone. I love how its everything is easily divided into either intense hate or undying love in people's eyes. You don't like X = YOU HATER! You like X = FANBOI!

His post was hardly empathetic, I'll leave it at that.

lol but there was. :p I remember a particular thread where the OP said turbine needed to fire him and just went all out crazy person. Harharhar. Course, that thread got deleted after soon after, but not before forum people flooded in an caused tons and tons of drama. :p

But this isn't the place for that. This thread celebrates Maj! Haters can have their own thread. :p Maybe they won't get deleted. :D

[Sleepsalot]

Yes there was but the Cube ate that topic. And others talked about how Maj.'s response about the Bags was rude and all. Maybe you missed that thread.
Sleeps :D :) :D

^^ This. QA has a tough job and they get a lot of flack. Sometimes undeserved. Maj has been the target of undeserved comments because of his undiplomatic way of telling the community exactly what is going on and why. We want him know we appreciate and (for me at least) prefer his frank way of communicating.

I say we keep this thread up until Maj actually replies

Hey the Devs need love too, but Maj used to come on the forums and communicate with us, until some prat attacked him.

It seems that no good deed goes unpunished.

All hail MAJ!!!

[Sleepsalot]

I am sure Maj. will be back I think most the Gang has been Busy at PAX and Unlike some I rather have a none beat around the Bush answer even if it is a bit less tactful. Honest and straight forward answers are what I call much better then a sugar coated reply. If I wand sugar coated I will go buy some powered Doughnuts...

He started showing up in the forums when things were looking the bleakest...injected some life into the place. That gesture was not lost on all of us.
