    She...erm...didn't want this discussed in the forums until she said something. That's all I'm saying.

    I miss her too, though.

    I miss her too. Have for a while. I'm working on a plushie for her though so that helps missing her less.
    Wouldn't have started a thread about it but... There is one now, so I don't want to stay silent about the way I feel. I miss her.

    I know nothing.... and I assume nothing.... I was just observing a lack of her presence in the areas to which she was commonly seen.

    I think a thread appreciating her contributions is perfectly OK... If Yare was all of a sudden absent you know darn well I would make a similar thread.... only with more argyle..

    Yes, I think merely starting that we miss her is fine.
    We could even all contribute something to show that. Like my plush. Fanart, pic, text... As long as it's positive I fail to see a problem with it. We do love our nikasaur after all.

    Definitely.

    No one knows what happened to her? Did anybody check the prehistoric exhibit of a museum?

    That joke is in bad taste, I apologize. Honestly, the first place I would search is the trunk of Yare's car.

    >_>

    <_<

    >_>

    NOW the joke IS REALLY in bad taste.

    Who changed the title of this thread, how and why?

    Now it has the dreaded "A-word" in it...

    I did, just in case. We don't know where nikasaur is or why she hasn't been showing up. Just in case she's gone to do Humanitarian work in Louisiana I changed the thread title to something more ... adaptable.

    Ah. Okay, then, although I'm sure you're allowed to miss people who do Humanitarian work too :p

    Fine by me though. Maybe I'll use this thread for the pics of her dino, rather than the plush thread. Everyone should feel free to do the same... Ginny, didn't you draw her at some point?

    Oh my gawwwww you guys are so sweet and awesome.

    Okay okay, time to clear things up, but with some good news to boot. Nope, I'm no longer with Telltale, but as of yesterday I got a wicked-awesome Community Intern position at Riot Games which I'm very excited about. I don't know if any of you are League of Legends players, or are familiar with Riot at all, but they're super community-centric and I know I'll learn loads. Sometime soon, if you get lonely, you'll be able to find me there.

    I loved every minute I spent at Telltale and love every employee just the same way. I adore you guys and it's been hard being away amidst all the speculation on whether or not I would return- I didn't want a false alarm and be back in action a month later, confused fans in tow. Now that my position is official, I'll be back around to comment on all the friggin' dino threads I want, and I know I'm leaving you in the good hands of Will, David E, Jake, and er... Yare.
    Maybe "good" hands is a strong word...

    Thanks for making my Telltale experience amazing and full of laughs. You don't know how great you guys are. Now stop flattering me!
    (But still give me crochet-dino! So EXCITED!)

    And to clarify any current standings on the war, ambassadors from Argyle and Cootie are in discussions about a peace treaty, with no further comment at this time.

    Insider sources say the terms may include playing Lego Star Wars at Argyle HQ. This is unconfirmed.

    Let us sing a song of remembrance of Nikasaur's service at Telltale games...

    ...

    GIve me a couple days to write the song.


    Anyways, We will never forget what you have done for telltale.

    I was wondering where she went as well. My last attempted e-mail was met with a delivery failure notice. Thanks for posting in this thread, Nikkasaur!

    I just wanted to give you a personal thanks for taking the time to talk with me about Telltale's job application process. Whether I get the job or not, I appreciate the feedback, advice, and kindness you offered. I have little doubt that you'll succeed at Riot and wherever else your career takes you! Thanks!

    Well, I'm happy for her. New opportunities and all that, right? And she may no longer be a part of Telltale, but she's still a part of the community.

    Nikki, it's great to see you back around here and I wish you all the best at Riot.

    Ah, just like Internet name service domain registrations....

    I noticed in Sam & Max 303 that the dinosaur billboard is still prominently featured in the opening credits, so she must still have enforcement rights on that clause of the agreement!

    Good luck, Nikki!

    Nik, like Mary Poppins and Puff the Magic Dragon, goes where she is needed, and after changing the lives of those around her for the better moves onto the next game company in need of a little, dino magic. Cheers niksaur, and here's to making Riot Games a little more dinotastic! *imagine I'm holding up a champagne flute or something*

    I'll have to go check out Riot then. And it's not crochet! It's knitting! I can't crochet at all.

    Yeah, it's official. Will is now the new Yare. (I guess Gentlemwomen really do prefer Blonds.)
  • AvistewAvistew
    edited June 2010
    For the record, I already preferred Will when the Yare thing started.
    And I owe him lots of hugs (and a cookie. Ask Psy about that one) so it would be a problem if I couldn't get access to him at all. But without his hands? I can hug him, I can kiss him and I can talk to him. AND he can hug me back since puzzlebox only wanted his hands and not even his arms.
    So there.

    EDIT: wait, he's blonde? I thought his hair was brown. To be fair, it changes colour every single time I see him somewhere.

    Technically, I am not a "Telltale" woman, just a woman who likes Telltale a possibly unhealthy amount. Nobody "owns" me; I am my own Master, sistah! *pumps fist in the air*

    And Will is a strawberry blond. Not ginger though, don't worry.

    I'm just really weird that "Let's appreciate the intern" thread turns into "...and molest the hell out of her coworkers."

    Ladies, LADIES! There is an intern spot open, this is your chance!
