Week Thirty-Nine: Let's Dance All's quiet on the western front. As usual it's been a crazy busy week, but all told, a pretty fun week. Unfortunately, I can't always talk about all the fun stuff that happened, or in what context it happened. Because there are secrets. Horrible, horrible secrets. This week's going to have a short entry because I can't think of anything else to write about that isn't a secret you'll find out about over the next couple of weeks wink Gaia: The Gathering Meetings are the things we hate to love and love to hate -- they're an essential and annoying part of being in a company that's trying to do 203948 different things, but still make it seem like our site has some semblance of cohesion. If you're unfortunate enough to work on the Event/Sponsorship/Quest team (see last week's update) you're in about 15 meetings a week. Some meetings are a blast. I mean, when you get 5 or 6 Gaia HQers together with the objective being to make something fun, and there are no rules, we usually end up laughing our asses off before the meeting is done. Asses successfully removed, we can then proceed to serious business. A major source of humor is the tremendous, unfettered evil of several Gaia HQ staffers (yours truly included). Gaians everywhere should consider themselves fortunate that we haven't executed some of our more twisted ideas, unleashed some of our more brash punishments, or turned Gaian against Gaian in what surely would be a gruesome digital Civil War. (SIDE NOTE: Does "gruesome" mean "filled with grue"? What is "grue" and where can I buy it?) Fortunately, we talk about these horrific ideas, but an hour of laughing about it usually gets it out of our system long enough to come up with the actual ideas we end up turning into events and features. On the other hand, some meetings are incredibly dull and tedious and can only be likened to a Friday afternoon Calculus 2 class. No pain no gain, though right? Everyone's got to eat a little dirt before they die.

	A part of me wishes Grue was real, and tht you would release the horrors you discuss onto gaia... Of course, not just shuttign down the website, and deleting all the valuable items or anything like that, maybe giant slugs that eat flesh or something.

	I seriously wouldn't mind a Gaian Civil War. It might throw some excitement into the mix. I don't know what we'd be fighting about, but it'd be something interesting.

	Hey, I think cruel punishment is sometimes needed. The main thing being sometimes false positives are fine if the method needed to generate it requires an enormous amount of stupidity. I mean, if someone posts DO NOT POST ON THIS OR YOU WILL BE BANNED. and someone replies, they sort of deserve it personally.

	I have somewhat of a feeling about what you're referring to when you mentioned civil war on Gaia. Heh. You should have been there when they were showing ways to cook and eat Zurg. Anyway, a grue is that thing that eats you if you spend too much time wandering around in the dark without a source of light.
