January 31, 201015 yr Forecast of ****storms today - word is, Paris news crews caught footage of an Alpha Protocol agent on a mission gone bust. I'd presume it's referring to the GTTV footage, given it ends with Thorton getting, well, busted. And if it were set in Paris... IIRC it's in Rome.

January 31, 201015 yr Anyhow, it's not in Paris. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
January 31, 201015 yr It didn't specifically say "Mike Thorton", only "an Alpha Protocol agent". Maybe any of the Obsidianites has been to Paris lately? Edit: "Orientation training sandbox again for second-stage drills. Sandbox stage has a PR evaluator, who tracks our "visible presence" in-mission."... that was two days before Matthews Rories post about new PR agent Edit2: "Not sure who leaked the Beta Protocol news, superiors are classifying it under Operation: Constantinople. Not Istanbul. Constantinople. " Rumour thread “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
January 31, 201015 yr I still don't get the Constantinople/Istanbul joke. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
January 31, 201015 yr The Sega employee who talked about AP2 is named Constantine, hence Constantinople. The Istanbul reference is there to nail the point that it is NOT a reference to the city, because if so they would have named the operation with the current name of the city. You've never heard that joke? "I've had breakfast in Byzantium, lunch in Constantinople and dinner at Istanbul, and yet I haven't moved all day!"?
January 31, 201015 yr I don't think so, no. Thanks tho. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
February 1, 201015 yr I still don't get the Constantinople/Istanbul joke. Have you somehow lived you life without having heard this song? (Or the probably-more-well-known cover?) Edited February 1, 201015 yr by Enoch
February 1, 201015 yr Yes. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
February 1, 201015 yr I hope you had some history lessons in your "youth"? Constantinople's history was a good chunk of the Crusades' era when I was in my equivalent of the high school.
February 1, 201015 yr .... No, I'm an illiterate retard who doesn't know what Constantinople is. Hint: We never got specifically taught that Constantinople=Istanbul (kinda irrelevant to Hungarian history which unsurprisingly, was regarded as a bit more important than Istanbul's) and years later I didn't exactly feel an unquenchable urge to compare medieval and present day world maps millimeter by millimeter. So sue me and sorry for daring to ask.

February 1, 201015 yr Sorry for that, it was uncalled for Another twitt about Paris : Still doing damage control on the Alpha Protocol agent in Paris - apparently, they cut him loose for real, not just in name. Either a french website is going to get a new trailer soon, or Paris is the last, "hidden" hub of the game
February 2, 201015 yr Sorry for that, it was uncalled for No problem. Another twitt about Paris : Still doing damage control on the Alpha Protocol agent in Paris - apparently, they cut him loose for real, not just in name. Either a french website is going to get a new trailer soon, or Paris is the last, "hidden" hub of the game While I wouldn't mind a trailer (hey, we have to get by somehow till the game comes out), I don't think he'd use agent as an analogy. Training video or some such seems likelier.

February 2, 201015 yr Maybe it has something to do with SEGA Europe, or their old PR agency. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
February 3, 201015 yr Maybe it has something to do with SEGA Europe, or their old PR agency. The agent being cut loose could easily be the PR agency.

February 15, 201015 yr http://twitter.com/MikeThorton/status/9148128216 "Still awaiting deployment, looks like come early spring, the thaw's going to be over."
February 15, 201015 yr Sounds like a PR push fairly soonish. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
March 17, 201015 yr I'd say more that the people in charge of the feed aren't finding new things to write about. We might see a big jump in tweets in the next few months.
March 17, 201015 yr I for one wouldn't mind a new blog post either. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
March 17, 201015 yr I'd say more that the people in charge of the feed aren't finding new things to write about. We might see a big jump in tweets in the next few months. I really doubt that MCA can't find new things to write about. especially with announced "deployment" date
March 17, 201015 yr I think that with Sega now in full PR gear, they asked MCA to stop the twit. Something he must have welcomed in a way since he must be pretty busy on NV right now!
