[QUOTE="Hard8Staff, post: 19051, member: 1386"] Heh heh. Seems like my bad mood last night has really po'd some people. Mark, I apologize if my post made you angry. I apologize doubly if me or anyone on my staff made you, Piratecat (love the name...) or anyone else feel bad about anything. Honestly, my only recollection about the encounter was a couple of guys I didn't know came up to our booth, very irate that we hadn't sent something to them for some awards called the "ennies". If I had heard about them prior to it, I had forgotten or assumed they were running in 2002 for 2001 product. AFAIK we never fail to send in our stuff for consideration for any award. As far as my "Kalamar sweeps" comment, it was a joke. I'll use the :) symbol next time. To be honest, I doubt we would have won. There were some good products out there and I don't think many people even know about Kalamar here and certainly not in June/July of 2001 (presumably when the voting occurred). So there you have it. A public apology for me and/or my team being jerks for no reason. Certainly any gamer, let alone you, would deserve better. We usually try not to make anyone feel angry. Ever. So much so that sometimes members of the "industry" walk all over us...we're like the Buddhas of the gaming industry (or try to be). But I digress (again). The point is: I'm sorry, Mark. Feel free to email me if you have an issue with anything I've said (or post publicly if it's more convenient). Dave [/QUOTE]
