I think the Correspondents Board could use some Breakdowns™.

Not that i will ever see them. But to know they are there would make me feel a lot better already.

It's for that very reason why I'll be surprised if TK gets the job... although I think he's very capable of doing it. The scene from A Few Good Men comes to mind, you know... the "you can't handle the truth" scene.

Well, if he does that the poor unknown has one hell of a greeting a-waiting for them. I would hope he would not be that cruel or indeed misguided.

TK might be too snide for the job....LOL


Why would anybody WANT such a job is what I want to know. It's not like they give you free subscription fees or anything.

I nominate Droid Engineer Rho. As soon as we find him.

And I also nominate Ackis, and Woody. Mostly to bring them back to DE.

That Bioengineering freak? Where is he. I haven't seen him enough lately. Wonder if I should inhabit the BE boards a bit just to torment him

With all due respect. Its up to you to decide if you want the job, its up to SOE if they'll give it to you. Step up man, and dont be a MSE. You need to send a clear message you will take the job before they will offer it.


As for the DEA.


The DEA isnt going to have any use if we dont get the droids to promote. Knock the fish around and get him to take back his job, its time he stopped having fun and get back to work Failing that, I suppose I could take over the DENet on Ahazi if need be.


As for TH picking someone we've never heard of, thats the precise reason I started this thread, to try and prevent the random appointment.

Okay, then....to be clear:


Yes, I am interested in filling the available Correspondent position andlook forward to the opportunity to do what I can to move droids and DEs forward in a positive direction (if you all are comfortable with me taking the position that is..).



As for the DEA.

He's always been there, behind the scenes. I sense in him a yearning to return to his post (Note: I like double-puns). Woody? You wanna try to make a return official or what? If not, it's all good. I can probably fulfill my 'post' as DENet / DEA head...it will just get more challenging.


Failing that, I suppose I could take over the DENet on Ahazi if need be.


At some point, I imagine I'd want to hand off to someone else anyway. That's always been the plan. Both Woody and I want DENet and DEA to live on long after he and I have gone the way of the dodo.



As for TH picking someone we've never heard of, thats the precise reason I started this thread, to try and prevent the random appointment.


I'd have to think they would want to give the position to the community's choice first (as long as they didn't pick a wacko). Oh....I guess that means I'm out.

My vote goes towards TK-421, of course.


Coincidently, I was wondering if you, TK, are the same TheRealTK-421 on theforce.net fanfilms boards?

Send a PM to TH and see. He's said several times that a lot of the correspondants got their position simply because they took the initiative and asked. If they want you, they'll take you, if not then they won't. That simple.

Personally, you were the first person I thought of to take over when I read the job was being vacated. A lot of us here want you to do the job it seems, so you've got to decide if you want to do it. If you do, stop wasting time and throw your hat in the ring

Nope...at least I don't think so. I've been on TheForce.net but I don't post on their boards (at least, I don't remember having done so in the past months and/or years).
