I'm sure they'll screen all Denners out in their hiring process.

Only one way to know for sure. Science! (Apply and hope for the best.)
I had a signature here once but I've since lost it.

I guarantee someone, somewhere from Paizo, is skimming this forum every once in a while, just to keep up to date what's being written about them.

I looked over the job description. It's basically a gruntwork editing job with no design opportunities..... basically a "we need a job for my girlfriend who is otherwise unemployable" job. They won't even list the assumed wages.

So if you are willing to edit for 80 hours a week for low wages and not get to create anything, then apply. You also get a chance to sit in their office.

You will get a title..... that and $4 will get you a coffee at Starbucks.

Yes, from what James Jacobs has said in the past, "developer" means something like "module (sub-)editor".

The only "creation" work they want out of you is drawing maps. So yeah, your mission is to edit adventure modules full time for low pay. But you get to be called a "developer".

You could always be subversive ... if editors can get away with butchering classes so they end up looking like the Invisible Blade they should be able to get away with turning bad content into good. Of course, still for low pay.

If I applied, all the Paizils would run in fear from my name. Which would be funny and all, but then they wouldn't be around to continue amusing me.

And there's a couple of Paizils who lurk the Den just to see what I'm saying about them. Hi Paizils.

"Hmm, I have a problem with this map you drew. It's just... well I'll put it bluntly, the castle looks like a penis."
"Does it? Wow, I totally didn't consider that."
"And the mountains here sort of look like an open mouth, surrounding the knob of said penis. I can't help but notice that you called the mountain range 'Mount Paizil'."
"Are you implying anything?"

Calling what they serve at Starbucks "coffee" is like calling Pathfinder "fixed 3.5".

Hi Roy!

Did you managed to do something for that little Multiple Personality Disorder?

And... no. I lurk the Den because

1) Even if I don't agree on most things with people here, I consider their opinion interesting.

2) Coprolalia is fun.

3) Your off topic forum is actually very interesting (I'm serious - I found few american politics topic interesting in particular, sadly because of few analogies with the mess in my country and how conservative people reason).

And by sock puppet, they mean anyone who sounds like me right?

Because I've had other people who are most definitely not me get called one of my sock puppets, simply because they sounded remotely similar.

If you go over there right now and start bashing Monks and other fail tier classes as a waste of space, you'll be me too.

K is over there. 50 bucks says he's been called a Roy sockpuppet at least once.

Because as we all know, if your views are even remotely similar to a person, you must then therefore be that person.

Which means if the CO boards ever invaded them, there would be over 9,000 mes running around, in the eyes of the dumbfucks.

Yeh. I've been accused of being Roy.

Usually it's by people with the grossest avatar pictures. What's up with that? Are they just trying to troll so hard they want to offend you with their avatar picture too?

100 says at least 3 of the following people are involved: Gorbacz, Auxretard, ciretose, Abraham spalding, that guy who made the 14 prime stat thread and of course this wang guy who showed up for no reason other to insinuate that I am crazy. Which I am, but not in the manner he described.

It does seem like they accuse people of being sock puppets on a somewhat regular basis. I remember being accused of being Frank at least once.

Well, it's like I said. They're so wound up about me, that the slightest indication I'm there sets them off. Regardless of if I actually am or not. Especially if I am clearly not.

The sad thing is is that when I said it I was being partially facetious. I didn't expect them to actually be this pathetic. Then again, they are Paizils. Failure is literally a part of their name.
