Where are all the blues?
I was looking at the Blizzard's job page, few job offers are in Paris, France, but I was amazed to see how many jobs are offered in Cork, Ireland (especially many GM posts for different languages).

So question, where are the blues (the ones on these forums) located? Paris, or Cork?

I've been to Ireland once, visited the whole country (Dublin, Cork, Galway), and gotta say, it may be one of the most beautiful country in Europe. Having a job over there must be pretty awesome.

Q u o t e:
Paris is in France? You lie!

Clearly!

Coincidentally there is also a Paris in Kentucky, US ;)

Q u o t e:
Ah-HAH! See?! I'm on to you, Slork! Do not think you can hide!

I'm not the one hiding! Vaneras and Ancilorn who are at Dreamhack Winter 2009 are the ones hiding! /duck

Although it could be argued that standing in public at the Blizzard booth at such a popular gaming event isn't really the best definition of hiding. ;-)

I must say for Frenchies your very well spoken :)
We're not French, actually. Both Slorkuz and I come from countries starting with the letter N, but not the same country... :)

Q u o t e:
Does that mean you guys live around Paris, and speak French? Or are you just tourists, live in a hotel during the week, speak with nobody, and throw hate stares at everybody in the Metro while swearing about how crazy we are for eating baguettes?

There are very few corn products as good as the French baguettes!

Q u o t e:
Netherlands is definatly the correct 1, as everyone is from there....I'll guess the other is New Zeland
It's Zealand with an A, but yes, New Zealand is the other correct answer.

Q u o t e:
Hm, was it you or Wryxian who came to the dentarg realm forum and talked Norwegian in a Norwegian flame thread, asking us to calm down? :-P
It wasn't me, I don't speak Norwegian sorry. So now you know which one is which... ;-)

Q u o t e:
Yeah. I bet Wryx and Slork are all "I vote for the guys in blue" while all the frenchies around them go /facepalm.

The irony of that statement is that the colour used by the football team in the city I grew up in is just blue, and their 'theme song' is about being blue... ;p

Q u o t e:
By the way, are there any other CM on the EU forums other than Wryxian and Slorkuz?

Vaneras and Ancilorn (EN forums), who are currently at Dreamhack Winter 2009 at the Blizzard booth :)

Q u o t e:
What about Thundgot?
Thundgot, though still around and still very much active on the EU team, isn't actually on our EN team anymore.

Q u o t e:
So what does that make Thundgot?
He has evolved... ;-)

Q u o t e:
What everybody refers as "CM" seem to be called "Online Community Representative", while Thundgot is a "Community Manager". Does that make him your boss?
They're official titles, but we're all "CMs" as it were. Thundgot is my boss, but not anyone else's on the EN team. </cryptic>

Q u o t e:
First : Epic thread guys.I allways enjoyed reading CM conversations with the community but sadly most of those occur only on the US boards.I am happy panda you are taking the trend here as well.
A little harmless social interaction can be a good thing now and then.


Q u o t e:
I have to ask this tho...are there plans for update on your avatars.Don`t get me wrong they are really nice and represent the person behind them but I allways wander you know... that Veneras has a t6 set with a badass bear and Thundgot has a cool cast animation as well as new outfit...can we expect Slorky evolving in to something ...more (Outland was only a setback) and Wryx...well growing up for example?.
What, no more baby croc? I refuse to grow up! ;-)

Dreamhack is going very well, it's super cool. We're just wrapping up our first (fully booked) SCII hotstreak contest, and are on route to our second, also fully booked, Goblin Race! It's all go go go!

Awesome-sauce. What's a Goblin Race? Is it something to do with their awesome go-cart mount? ;-P
It's a leveling competition, but we're also working out a new and even more awesome-sauce level 8 Goblin Vs. Mega Shark raid!
