well, I''m _a little_ new here (a couple weeks), so I''m not really one to reply, but I took a look at the last couple months of topics, and I can say three things about landfish :

1>He posts a damn lot,
2>he has a lot of groupies for a designer who''s still working on his web page }:>. . . (no offense intended to said groupies, see #3)
3>mainly because he''s Warren Spector''s lovechild.

feel free to paraphrase as necessary, and I''m known professionally as Hank the Tender Plumber.

OK... My $(2*rant/100) if you really give a smeg

Landfish is more than a person, landfish is a man with ideas. He is more than just a crazed anarchist that people take him for. The ideas that this guy has is just freaking amazing! And I do not exaggerate.

Just my small addition, hope you don''t take it seriously though (dons the flame-proof jacket)..

Oh yeah, and GDNeters DO stick together

Thank you, paul. I really appreciate your overcoming a moral dillema to help me out .

So, anyway, if you guys can find it in your hearts to write maybe one word (i hope at least one of you says Insane. But different will suffice) I can throw you on my website and pretend you are all professionals! Won''t that be cool?!

I''m leaving a week to study under hte zen blues masters... I shall return. Goodbye, my friends...

OK, I lied, one more email before I leave for a week. I''m an addict, I can''t help myself.

The stuff you guys have got is really great so far... just as a preview, the copy will be seen one at a time, like a review or something. If anyone ever calls you up and asks about us, just say what you said about me. This is what it''ll be like.

Do you guys see how this works? I have access to some venture capital contacts, and to get at the money I''ll need to make it LOOK like there''s a lot there when there is really very little. This is how the whole freakin industry is. Plus, be nice to me now and I might be able to help you guys out if I get the money, right?

So can I have your permission to quote you all in that way? Any more contributions will be enourmously appreciated...

Ummm... my last name is in my sig. Chris ''Bennett'' I think you will find . You could include my other one, but I will change that to say the following:

"Landfish is more than a person, landfish is a man with ideas. He is more than just a crazed anarchist that people take him for. The ideas that this guy has is just freaking amazing! And I do not exaggerate. But the man is insane. A complete lunatic ! That''s the kind of attitude that makes things happen!"

Like it? Remove the insanity parts if you want a more ''professional'' look (lets not get into the professional debate here either )

Well for me the Landfish is the Goblin Messiah,the savior of their race.
Landfish initiated a new way of thinking in this forum and many other people followed his example.

A lot has changed in our minds since then about NPC''s,stat indicators,magic,storyline,economics,etc.

But it all has its start at "End Goblin Genocide" post.

Well...

That was a start for a new beginning. Landfish is an inspiration to us all

Hey Guys,

Just as a preface, I''m Landfish''s head writer, and head Landfish himself has asked me to monitor this while he''s away for the week. You probably don''t recognize me...but I''m here, lurking in the shadows, always

Anyway, this is great stuff so far, seriously, but I just want to clarify this. I know most of you have only been exposed to our project co-ordinator, who goes by the name "Landfish" ''round these parts. But, Landfish is the group name, not his personal nickname So, while all of you are hearing these (oftentimes crazy) rants coming from the mouth of one individual, more often than not he speaks for the group as a whole. So, what we''re looking for here are quotes that refer to the team, not an individual. Which I know is hard, because you''ve only been exposed to Landfish in the singular So, if you feel that it''s easier to leave comments about him in particular, that''s fine...I''m just concerned about editing the quotes afterwards, because the website isn''t about one person, it''s to represent the team. Also, we want to make sure that we have everyone''s complete permission to post these quotes in the approximate format stated above. And, like I said, nothing will be changed except to make the quotes plural instead of singular, if need be.

Well, I''ll leave you to commenting again, and I''ll be sure to drop in and check on things, and keep you all in line every once in a while

Thanks guys...this really is so incredibly cool of all of you!
