You don't need to wory about bred crumb trails, I have experimented to see if they were hostile by giving them a false link to see if they're capable of any form of retaliation. They're not. They are so Amotivated that regardless of how much stuff they're given, they won't do anything. Ergo, we don't have to worry about leaks on the /pol/ front. HOWEVER, the other boards as well as a few select reddit boards, I can't rightly say. Those of you on my Yes... I also got your question. Marvel will be the provider.

If you support the devs of games, please be aware that we also have opinions on inclusion in our games. please read. been seeing a lot of (frankly upsetting) comments from people who follow me / 'support devs' about some of the updates to in-game content being a 'smokescreen for distract from bigger issues' when really... it's being led from within, by people who care, a I love this.

Cronyism - Wikipedia @kenandstuff Als antwoord op @KiraAndrade10 colleagues, especially in politics listen so thoughtfully. it's small now, but very real. The way I see it is that "they" are two completely different groups of people. "They" in charge of company wide policy changes are not the "they" in charge of wow content changes. I agree there needs to be company changes, but that doesn't mean there can't be game changes. 3 63 Cronyism - Wikipedia Cronyism is the practice of partiality in awarding jobs and other advantages to friends or trusted colleagues, especially in politics Kira the Dragon Queen @KiraAndrade10 - 30 sep. The request came from somewhere, though, and in a corporation it's most often than not the top down. Someone has to approve the expenses after all. But either way, I just hope change -does- happen one way or another. A Tip Kenneth Huang @kenandstuff Als antwoord op @KiraAndrade10 I can say with certainty that these changes did not come from requests from the c-suite, these changes came from demands from wow devs.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/002/221/759/a98.png "Cronyism, and the WoW devs approving Patch 9.1.5")
