Do the trolls read their mail?

ZeornWarlock · Post by **ZeornWarlock** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 11:25 am

I'd love to have access to the CKG forums, so I've been trying to e-mail the trolls forever, but they don't reply at all? Even to other e-mail subjects for that matter...
ZW.

Technology doesn't agree with the Trolls.
However, I can probably help you. Drop me an e-mail to ccsociety@gmail.com and I'll do my best to hook you up and get you access. It might take me a couple of days (new baby) but I will get around to it.
(You'll need to sign, scan, and return a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which I'll provide to you in my response.)

Any new NWN modules lately? I haven't checked the Vault in a while (been occupied with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.)

*chuckles* Steve gets 400 emails a day. Sometimes a few get lost in the shuffle. It's faster to send NDA requests through me.

I get well over 400 emails a day. closer to 800 (including the spam messages). managing that volume isn't a big deal (takes time sure to sift through it) once you put in place a *system* to manage them.

I too have had problems contacting steve, regarding a product never reaching me.

I've just given up

no comment other than, if you are going to give people an electronic address to contact you. then reply to those messages.

if it's 4 messages in an inbox/day, 40, 400, 4,000 or 4 million.

Cheers,

J.

Peter,

Even your bad sometimes. You promised to send me some stuff that night and I still haven't gotten it weeks later.

Hey folks,

Sorry for not replying to your email. There are reasons but I'm not going to go into them as they have no meaning.

Jman, we shipped you the missing Crusader over a month ago. Have you still not recieved it?

Zeorn i'm not sure I've gotten anything from you. I have my spam filter set at HIGH, so if it is anything suspicious it will not get through.

PM me here.

Steve

I've been suspecting that, since the Trolls made a similiar promise and they have yet to send anything. So if they can't do it, how am I supposed to expect you to be able too?

I just hope its all straightened out and "happening" soon.

I had sent an email a couple weeks earlier for the same request, so I PMed as well.

Hope this is OK and I'm accepted...

Hell, even the people that deal with Steve daily don't get emails. I know it takes a while for me to get a response... so, I use alternate means.

Although I have a few, they are on the side at the moment. I've been way too busy with work; I hardly have time to play my C&C sessions these days. I may check out NWN2 if I can as it sounds nice and I can't wait to create new modules again.

Hehe, I'll just throw my 2 cents in here. Maybe I've been lucky, but Steve has always sent/answered my e-mails very promptly. I've only had some minor problems that were taken care of very quickly.

I'm sure Steve will get you guys your stuff. Hmm, maybe it's time for a customer service rep for TLG!

I keep telling Peter that I need a secretary to help funnel all these emails and what not, and he keeps giving me the lame excuse..."Dude, you are in charge of hiring people! Hire one!" What kind of crap is that? LOL

I'm just too cheap.

LOL, he already has a few gamers that have done work for him in exchange for product, I'm one of those few, proud, etc. etc.
Steve is a horrible horrible man with scars like the mighty grand canyon and a devil may care attitude. In the immortal words of that one guy at the mos eisley cantina: He doesnt like you. I dont like you either.

J/K Steve, you are one in a million.

PS- You owe me a beer for being nice to you.

Davis is a philanthropist. He's helped a lot of strippers become rich and retire instead.

As of today, Steve has all of his email addys imported into a newer and more streamlined email system. We also have him up to speed on the creation and utilization of distribution lists. FEAR the massive volume of replies which shall issue forth from the TLG network operations center. FEAR the slowdown caused to the world wide web as Steve single handedly lays down a withering barrage of clear text into cyberspace. OK, maybe not, but I *did* get him hooked up on his email program today so maybe...?
