Ask Paradox (almost) Anything Thread (no support/tech or code questions)

[Davisx3m]

I read on Twitter the other day that you've got a new girl, Sara, in a market/PR position IIRC. I just wanted to say hello and good luck to you Sara, and ask you what is the best part of the job so far? I hope there's been no freaky encounter with Mr Nibbles yet?

I warned her of Fredrik, but she replied: "
@Davisx3m @TheWesterFront det är alla andra som borde akta sig för mej..."

For all who doesn't understand: Moahahaha

 

[Nikolai]

She has balls. Good for her.

$100M USD isn't enough.

I think Gabe Newell described the situation aptly when asked the same question:

I very much think the same thing would happen with Paradox.

ps. We'd use the money to start Enigma Interactive.

So roughly speaking, how much would PI be worth these days?

Probably around 15 million SEK or 5 DKK.

 

[Shams]

Probably around 15 million SEK or 5 DKK.

How did you come up with that number?

And Holy hell is the DKK worth a lot!

[Nikolai]

Or perhaps it's just that the SEK fell into hyperinflation and you haven't noticed yet. Swedes...:shame:

Which reminds me of a joke.

There once was a Norwegian and a Swede who was on plane trip. When they were about to land, the pilot said: We're too heavy, one of you must jump off. The parachutes are located under the seat. But you can try and hold onto the wheels. So they did. It's too heavy still, one of you must jump, the pilot said. The Norwegian then said: I can jump. And the Swede was so happy that he clapped.

How did you come up with that number?

I estimated by all the posts you were able to make while at work, and assume you must be doing great.

And Holy hell is the DKK worth a lot!

Which is probably why Swedes think beer is so cheap in Denmark!

'Ja, ja, två krona?'

'Nej, ja, altså danske kroner.'

'Här är två krona!'

'Men øh, det er svenske kroner!'

'Genau.'

(My knowledge of Swedish still needs some polish.)

Probably around 15 million SEK or 5 DKK.

I would buy Paradox for that amount, considering they had 20 million SEK revenue (before tax) last year

Paradox got a yearly turnover of 143 million SEK and 70 million SEK assets (2011) according to public available info.

I just wanted to make a DKK > SEK joke.

 

[Alex_brunius]

Actually in Sweden we are happy the SEK is not worth more.

It would be aweful for our export industry and no one would buy our Cars, Trucks, Ballbearings or Iron Ore.

Why do you think China want their currency to stay at low levels just like ours?

Dem ballbearing exports.

I hear they just roll off the production lines.

Danes really seem to think Swedes are simpletons, don't they? When I was there they were always makling Swedish jokes

It's not only the danes

Listen, that's how we pass time in Scandinavia. Never made a crack about an Englishman? I actually have a lot of respect for my Nordic brethren, but don't tell them I said that!

What Sn3ipen said, I can echo.

 

[Raph]

And in Sweden we make Norway-jokes. Pretty boring if you ask me. Though I'm an avid Scandinavist.

Let's see how avid you are; where will the capital be of a unified Scandinavia be?

 

[jdrou]

Let's see how avid you are; where will the capital be of a unified Scandinavia be?

Where would the center of mass be in population terms?

 

[Davisx3m]

A new city called Osholmhaven, it will be built on an island here:

It would make everyone happy!

Folks, don't you think we should continue this discussion in the OT?
