"Do you believe John David Stotts shot Buckwheat?"

"Oh yes, it's all he ever talked about!"

Or something along those lines

One of my all time favorites as well!

The games I have enjoyed the most over the past few years:

My favorite classics:

Shivers 1 & 2
The 7th Guest
The 11th Hour
The King's Quest Series

Like I said in this post... we have had some things to get in order regarding the change in publishers. There is a lot of red tape involved in a change like this. There are many details that need attention. And during this transitional time, we aren't releasing any new information.

But April Jones, (our Senior Manager, Marketing & PR) is working closely with the folks at SOE to get plans into place. As soon as everything has been worked out, you will start seeing a steady and continuious stream of information leading up to the release of Vanguard.

Thanks so much for your support and patience. We are all really looking forward to sharing more information with you very soon!

I am very impressed by the talent displayed in the submissions for this contest. Nice job on these!

At Sigil we take our NDAs very seriously. So asking for people to break their NDA to contribute to your story is completely out of line.

As for complaints about WOW, we do not allow bashing of other games and companies on our forums. When it happens we deal with it and people get suspended and banned.

I have removed your email address from your thread and would kindly ask that you not continue with this type of solicitation on our forums. If you want further information on Vangaurd or its community, you can contact me at cbowens@sigilgame.com or or our Marketing & PR Manager April Jones at ajones@sigilgames.com.

Thank you for your understanding

I have my MP3s on shuffle so I'll list the last 5 songs played

Red Hot Chili Peppers- By the Way
Jason Mraz- Curbside Prophet
The White Stripes- Same Boy You've Always Known
Sublime- I Saw Red (accoustic version)
Live- I, Alone

You know, from this side, I don't think things have gotten any worse than other times in our history. Each time there has been a burst of new information released, we have seen an influx of new people and gotten lots of threads and posts that are unacceptable on our forums. Glip usually loses a few nights sleep as he warns many of the new posters and tries to get them under control. He eventually has to suspend and/or ban a number of people and then things quiet down and get back to normal.

We have seen this pattern since before we announced Vanguard. But the community is now a lot bigger and a lot louder. So please be patient. We haven’t changed in what we want for this community… it just gets harder to keep things in check as we get bigger. But we are committed to doing all we can to keep this a place where ideas can be exchanged and discussed in a mature and civil environment.

As for not hearing much from us since E3, we have said before that you won’t hear much until we finish our transition over to SOE. Launching a game of this magnitude takes a lot of careful planning. Everyone here and at SOE is working hard to get everything in order so we can move forward and start releasing more information to you and the rest of the general public.

We really appreciate that you have so much enthusiasm for Vanguard that you would be this anxious over a few weeks of no new information. But be patient a little longer and we will have lots of new info for you. I promise!

Thanks for hanging in there with us through all of these changes. We will do our very best not to disappoint you and to give you the best game we could possibly make.

Hey all-

As many of you know, I have been away for a while having some necessary surgery done. It is great to finally be getting back to work.

A lot has happened while I was gone and some things have changed. We changed publishers, we released a lot more info and our community has grown like crazy! Welcome to all of you folks that I have not met yet!

I have also noted some changes that make me unhappy. While we are thrilled with the increase in the number of community members and the rising number of posts, we have also seen a disturbing trend in some attitudes here on these forums. I have even seen these things referenced on other forums.

We welcome all comments, questions and opinions from every member of our community, provided the poster stays within the guidelines of our forum rules. All are welcome to express their opinions (whether positive or negative) as long as they are not being abusive or offensive to others (again, as defined within our forum rules).

There seems to be a disturbing trend lately to call down those that are in disagreement. I see a lot of sniping and name calling going on. And since we welcome everyone that comes here, I do not appreciate forum members telling people to go away or go back to another game.

This is not what we want for our forums and we will not allow it to continue. Glip has been very busy the last couple of days doing a lot of banning and suspending. And last time I checked, he still wasn’t finished for the day. So fair warning- this behavior is not going to be tolerated. Consider this a friendly reminder of the rules of the forums. Take a minute and read them again.

It has always been our goal to keep the atmosphere here welcoming and open to all opinions. If you truly consider yourself a Vanguard Community Member, please take responsibility for helping us to keep it that way.

Again, it’s great to be back. I can’t tell you how much I missed being around here!
