So, while sitting here in bed, munching tasty peanutbutter cookie, it occurs to me:

What are y'all's favorite cookies?

no matter the cookie I prefer to just eat the dough. but any choc chip cookies are good

 

[Darkrenown]

None. "Going Gold" normally reffers to the master copy being sent off to be copied and boxed etc. Sometimes people complicate matters by releasing a "Gold edition" later with expansions/patches included etc, but they can do that whenever, there's no set numbers they need.

+1!

Odd, its at the end of every manual. Must really like the team.

This is our CEO.

The funny thing is that not everybody at the office likes the team. Imagine how some people that likes rivalizing teams feels . (Personally I could not care less about soccer/football.)

What does the saying at the end of the Paradox game manuals mean: Forza Djurgar'n? In English please.

Its the greatest football team on the planet. Djurgården's IF.

This is A lie I will never acKnowledge...

I tried switching it to AIK before Rome release but johan spotted it in time

 

[Johan]

random ramblings

Well, there is always the pay review you know.

 

[Kallocain]

Until it makes you sick.

That's actually a superpower of mine. I can eat all the cookie dough I want, never get sick or stomach aches.

 

[Captain Gars]

That's a lIe oF course, everybody Knows which team is the best.

Oh, you mean the team who lost all three finals against AIK last year...?

 

[Darkrenown]

Bootcamp!

Is there going to be a way to see who is ranked #1 on Paradox Connect? I see it ranks your points, hope there is something added to the home page.

We have a lot of ideas for how to develop it further, you'll just have to wait and see!

I'm also very curious over who's #1. I only know who's #2

 

[Captain Gars]

Who's #2?

I hear he's a friend of the Emperor...

At least I'm not #756.

Hey, that's a cheap shot! I fought very hard for that Royal Marriage...

 

[Captain Gars]

King! should have known.

You choose...poorly. King is only #22. And Johan is not the Emperor... (he's apparently God)

 

[Captain Gars]

Doomdark?

Way off. (And the Emperor isn't a Paradox employee.)

(SAS: I'm disappointed, I thoght you should get that reference)

 

[Captain Gars]

Helius is the Emperor and pigglet82 is #2

Well done

Paradox Interactive does not own the rights to R. Howard's books, it's Paradox Entertainment who owns the rights. Paradox Interactive and Paradox Entertainment used to be one company but now we are two.

 

[Darkrenown]

Paradox Entertainment does, that's not us

 

[Captain Gars]

I also am not really familiar with how this happened and why.

I let others answer the how & why, but it happened in 1999.

Is there still any connection between the now 2 corporations or are they completly independent?

No formal connection. But the online card-game Mutant Chronicles: Doomtrooper that we are developing is licensed from Paradox Entertainment. See Fredrik's announcement here if you've missed it.
