C'mon everybody, welcome Hank Woon ...
... and try to pretend you aren't secretly seething with jealousy when you do. ;-)
Welcome aboard Hank!
And don't worry about the robots, most of them know the Second Law (though I hear they're sketchy about who qualifies for the First...)
Welcome to the great land of wonder and strangeness that is the Paizo Messageboards! Amongst many other strange and deviant folk, I shall endeavor to be one of your guides through the myriad pitfalls here.
"But, unlike you, I am not constrained by the typical boundaries set by the stifling paradigm known as "acceptable social behavior"
Wes! You REALLY didn't prepare him properly! Are you sure he knows what he's getting into?
or ridiculous and outrageous theories like "the law."
Uhh...no comment.
Oh yes! Welcome Hank Woon! I, at least, promise not to cannibalize all the choicest bits your first week...err...how's three days sound?
Wes! You REALLY didn't prepare him properly! Are you sure he knows what he's getting into?
I am, in fact, absolutely sure he has NO idea what he's getting into. I find we retain assistants whole hours longer that way.
Hey... we missed this thread... :P Welcome guys!
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.
@Yasha: Ah, a kindred spirit! You know, after reading many of the posts, I get this feeling that perhaps I should have written, "Unlike some of you..."
@Mothman: Well, if being infused with all the dark powers of Bubble Yum is magic, then yes, they are the most magical Gumbots ever (though, thankfully, still bound by the Second Law).
@taig: Not only will I survive, but I will grow stronger and more powerful than ever before! Paizo will be the throne upon which I sit, and the world will be my groveling plaything! Muahahaha! Ahahaha! Haha! Ha...!...Ahem. (Too soon for a megalomaniacal outburst?)
And Wes has David and me sitting on the other side of the office, away from the Editorial Pit. He claims it's so David and I don't awe the veterans with our brilliant insights and keen wit, but I have this sneaking suspicion that it's really so they can laugh freely at Paizo's two latest unsuspecting victims. ;)
Welcome Hank, Dave too!
Reading what Hank wrote, he seems like a real snapcase (I should know - it takes one to know one). Should fit right in.
Now that you're here to help, maybe they'll get those horrible spelling problems right. They keep spelling my name wrong all the time - see Crucible of Chaos.
Anyway, have a blast. And try that logic thing on the robots, maybe that works.
Two things:
Hey there Hank! Soon, very soon, you too might be able to read through massive amounts of text with the goal of making sure that the plural and singular versions of entirely made up races are used properly. Ha ha, hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHA!!! *cough*
And you know, I don't think we've ever seen pics of the "Editorial Pit". Unless it's covered in naughty pictures or obscene amounts of leftover takeout boxes, it seems like a decent topic for a blog post at some point. ;)

Haha, I'll see what I can do!

Ooh, dibs! Dibs! ;)
And you have insomnia.
This is primarily due to my on-again, off-again relationship with caffeine (though the off-again part is really only a working theory up to this point).

You didn't even tell him that he's going to need an adult? That's just inhuman.
Good dragon. Have a cookie. It's made of people, but not clones. We have a ways to go before Eat Your Own Clone Day.
Hey kid! Get me a cup of joe will you?
Hi Hank,
"Welcome to the House of Fun, now you've come of age.
Welcome to the House of Fun!"Keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times and don't feed the rabid Messageboard Posters.
:D
G'day Hank greetings and salutations
- Madness that's what you will get on these boards
I'm sorry son
But we don't stock
Party gimmicks
In this shop
Try the house of fun
Its quicker if you run
This is a chemists
Not a joke shop!
Flash you're a NovoCastrian with good taste in music.
EDIT: So we have Moth, Myself, Flash and Masika... That's most of the Australian posters saying hello.
Dia Dhuit, Hank!
I hope your tenure at Paizo is great!
-V

Seriously Wes, what's with the new kid? Didn't you get my "will proofread for food and couch" emails? I sent like ... a thousand of them.
Ahoi, hoi welcome aboard. Best of luck to you in surviving the editorial pit and best of luck at getting some editing done as well.
Welcome, Hank Woon!
Welcome!
Welcome Mr. Woon. Are you a native of Pugetopolis or did the cunning minds of Paizo import you from elsewhen?
If nothing else welcome to Snowfest II playing in Bellevue throughout the week.

Hank Woon, Editorial Assistant!
is that a Villain name?
mmm it lacks power, but it sounds descriptive...*says while aiming his sniper andthanking Hank for putting his photo...it would be easier to recognice now that the mad ForumLordshave asked hor hishead...*
now if Icould find a photo of this guy Dave....
Welcome! And good luck!
I think after my complaints about Hank, they sent an order out for a better illustrator for Dave.

this might be so.... or just a devous plan to tell us they are when there is only one and yes Dave might bejusta figment of Paizonians imagination... or a complot to distract us...
maybe there is no Hank Woon... just Dave, and Dave is behind all this moving the strings and distracting us with an imaginary Hank!
I would like to point out that Hank has FLAGRANTLY misrepresented himself in that blog post. He does not currently have a beard.
As de facto head of the Paizonian Beard Council, it's my duty to enforce some sort of standards around this place, such as making sure that Art Director Drew Pocza's braided neck beard remains totally appalling, or reminding people who see him every day that Jason Bulmahn does, in fact, have a beard.
Our retribution will be swift and hirsute.
Good. I knew there were multiple things wrong with that illustration! It probably has something to do with my hirsutorial powers.
Woot! New Paizo Person! *pelts with delicious chocolate chip cookies*
There. You done been hazed. Sorta. :P I look forward to meeting you at PaizoCon!

In 1994, when I was at Wizards of the Coast, we once hired a temp worker that lasted only as long as it took to show her to her desk and introduce her to her team. I would describe her manner of departure as "fleeing."

I demand more details. You're anecdotelette is hardly adequate for we of the Paizo community.

Well, her would-be team consisted of three people: Jillian, the original perkigoth on whom Dork Tower's Gilly was loosely based; Corey, a 6-foot tall, 300-pound bald guy who had actually been declared dead after being shot in the head; and Steve, a guy dressed in leather who was constantly being asked if he was in a band.
Steve also kept a wicker basket and a bottle of lotion at his desk, and if you asked him a question, he would just say "it puts the lotion in the basket" until you put the lotion in the basket; only then would he answer your question.
There was also a human skull, but I don't recall his name.
Awesome. :D
When ya giggle the cage, ya gotta be prepared for what falls out.
now if Icould find a photo of this guy Dave....I'm wondering about that too. Where is this Dave guy? What kind of horrible deformity does he have that they don't show us his photo? Is he a half-fiend Otyugh? Is he Hank's imaginary friend? Me wants know Dave!
LOL! Half-fiend Otyugh indeed! Looking at my picture now, I suppose I must have Otyugh blood running through these veins, what with that %^&*-eating grin on my face.
