Funny Email From a Publisher re. Reviews

[tleilaxu]

Let me be a voice of dissent here. I'm not sure what position the person who sent Morrus the email has, but we can't assume that a whole company is unprofessional just because one email implies that they were doing ENworld a favor. I'm not saying that as an excuse for them (like I care, right?) but I know that in businesses sometimes what the PR say isn't necessaryily the intention of the high ups. Granted, I assume this is a small business, so such stuff shouldn't be very common.


editing out ^most^ horrendous grammer mistakes

I'm with ColHardisson, Tleilaxu. It looks like they thought they were buying good reviews, or at least investing in good reviews. It would be better to invest in better products.

Not to be argumentative, really, but that's exactly what makes them unprofessional. Why is someone who obviously is "in the know" or in a position of authority with that company sending out such e-mails if that isn't the company's position? Now, perhaps the e-mail should be forwarded to the CEO of that company for clarification - how that person handles it would be further indication of how professional the company is.

Oh my.

While I have no idea who this publisher is, I have a number of ones that I hope it isn't.

Wow. I don't know what to say, other than two things:

"Would they like some cheese to go with their 'whine'?" and

Match up the reviews (publisher has received two 4/5 scores from EN World staff reviewers, a 3/5, along with two 2/5 scores. Average score = 3/5) and see if ya can figure out who it is.

I'm doing that now. The funny and shocking part was when I first did it, I came up with Necromancer, lol. Due to a scroll of the wheel gone awry, I missed a few reviews of them, so Necro is safe.

Ha. It's not Necromancer Games, I can assure you of that.

Hey, I know you, Clark, and the rest pretty well... I never doubted you guys -- just missed a couple staff reviews for Necro.

 

[Morrus]

No, it's not Necromancer. I can't imagine Clark sending an email like that even in my wildest dreams.

Someone will figure out who it is eventually I would imagine. I myself am most curious as to which company actually did that.
