I know the VCLs put this info in your reports. but i would like to know if the higher ups are leting you know that they know or just ignoring it.

Oct 22, 2010 16:18:37 I can't speak about now, but back in the day there was a lot of upset feelings from the authors and illustrators (for the fiction stuff) as I recall a special rule made for them about not insulting them or something like that.

Oct 22, 2010 16:21:08 Hmm... I'm getting tired of answering questions for VCLs. No one ever asks the News Guide guy for his opinion. *sniffle*

Anyways, yes, the powers that be are aware of the situation. We have been told that much. If anyone has said anything about how they plan to react to it though, that news didn't get to me yet.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go have myself a good cry and a pint of Ben & Jerrys. (Chunky Monkey, ftw)

This post actually contains an interesting implication.

AL has not been told the plan. I'm guessing that if he had, he wouldn't mention any plan due to his nda. He wouldn't even say "there is a plan but I can't say what it is" because we've recently seen the negative backlash of that kind of statement.

But he has not been told of any plan.

AL is under NDA. There is no reason for his bosses to not share with him the plan, if they had one.

Implication: there is no plan. Wotc is going to keep doing things the same way, without changing a thing.

Oct 22, 2010 16:43:10 My apologies. I assumed you were under the same conditions, limitations, and access to news that VCLs were.

I am mistaken it seems.

Here, have some Chunky Monkey with me. We'll drown our sorrows in a bannana flavored sugar high.

Oct 22, 2010 17:09:17 Cherry and my stomach had a disagreement. They've decided to remain friends, but to see other people. It just didn't work out.

Personally, I think that my stomach was seeing Karamel Sutra on the side, but thats pure rumor.

Oct 22, 2010 19:15:07 I'm an individualist, no Ben & Jerry's for me. Instead I'll have some Green Tea Ice cream (not sure the brand)...provided the firking ding blasted Asian food store has it, which half the time they don't.

(Though now you have me wanting Ice Cream, so I am going to have to check tomorrow)
