I'll would also have a heart attack sometime next week.
How about some palpitations?

I assume he's talking about Bill Slavicsek, the guy from that other thread.
I will speak no more on the matter, lest Ross come 'round and delete my posts.
You were totally on that thread, Mair! You're all over it like flies on... golf balls in the fairway!
We had a denial that it was Slavicek, and the only other designer named Bill that I can think of wouldn't be looking to do this. But maybe I havent spent enough time on golf courses.

It's Monday and past 8 in Paizo-land. Anyone want to step forward so we can congratulate you?
For what its worth, the new developer just showed up for work.
Which means you have at LEAST a little while longer before technical stuff gets set up.
More if the new developer decides to have fun and draw out the suspense.

Point of clarification: with the exception of customer service and Gary, if anyone is posting here before about...let's say 10:30, they're probably doing it from home.
We start a bit later than normal. We love our flex schedules. And our sleep.

10:30? Must be nice, I've already been working 4 hours by that point in my day. Well, I've been at work for 4 hours by that point in my day.

Yea, its really funny when I send an email off to someone at Paizo at 8am east coast time and I get a reply back at 2, knowing they just got to work. But then again, I also get replies back when I'm home from the day job and the GF is asleep and I'm staying up writing. I know you guys are still at the office.

You might have met "Developer X" at Paizocon 2010, but not 2011. Not that the guest list would help with that.
I agree that Owen is a good guess. He wasn't at Paizocon 2011, but I think he probably was on the guest list since I gather he had to pull out late. So the guest list wouldn't help. I think he's also a good choice if it is him!

One of my SGG freelancers just wrote me an email begging to be told if I was the new developer. I had no idea this thread had gone off on wild speculation... but I should have realized!
It's really, really awesome to have people suggesting that Paizo might hire me, and even more awesome that so many of you seem to like the idea. I am a huge fan of Pathfinder, and the Paizo staff, and I plan to keep writing for both the game and the company for the foreseeable future.
But right now, it'll still be in the capacity as Lead Developer for Super Genius Games, and as a freelancer for Paizo. I'm absolutely not ruling out being on the staff at Paizo someday if the stars align correctly and Paizo wants to hire me, but that's not in the cards right now.
Of course if Paizo continues to kick butt, they may grow so much they need another developer...
Thanks folks, really you made my day, but it's not me. Let the rampant speculation continue!

my guess is Bill Slavicsek. Who better after being booted from WoTC?
<grumbles>
I have just had to squash a Lucy Fury post. But basically, Wes already said some way up thread that this is not the case.Edit:
Actually, no, it was on a now locked thread in the Edition Wars section of the board: *link*

You sound skilled in randomness. Come to the OTD!
Oh, was this thread for something?
Edit: That was a lame hunt. But congratulations.

(Introductions really aren't my forte. Expect a better blog post.)
(edited, slight tidying up)
Dear Mr. Renie,Introductions are of course a matter of etiquette and depend for their character upon the circumstances of the social situation in which they occur. What is quite appropriate and may involve a plate of cucumber sandwiches at a discreet little garden party hosted by Orcus may not quite pass muster at a Pathfinder Society gala or Galtan celebrity execution. At a masked event in Absalom, it is of course more difficult than usual for most folk to be certain if one or more of the audience are in fact influential senior members of the organization (though of course there is always the old joke that on such occasions the Decemvirate are amongst the few who deliberately go unmasked); At a guillotining in Galt, the Maitre d' has to be absolutely certain he introduces his victim(s) correctly the first time, since he may not get an opportunity to apologise later for muddling things up - not least because if the crowd is expecting to see the Count d'Escoffia lose his head, they might get annoyed if the executioner announces 'Baron Rougan' just before he pulls the lever. Galtan crowds are known to be quite vigorous when it comes to making their displeasure felt about not getting the expected guests on such occasions.
To some extent you are in the position here of a Galtan celebrity. The lever has been pulled, the blade has descended, and all you can hope for is that your friends in the Grey Gardeners whom you had arranged with to switch out a mundane blade for Razor Jenny and to fix your reincarnation afterwards don't manage to bring you back as something which everyone points their fingers at and laughs at too much, but instead arranged a form which gets you reverence (or at least respect) and which means strangers in taverns tend to treat you to drinks.
Congratulations on your reincarnation, I trust that it's successful from your perspective, (or at least gets you what you want), and best wishes for the future.
Oh, and mind that... oooh. Too late.
Hoping that this post has been Helpful.
Yours,
Ask A Succubus.
Disclaimer:
This post constitutes the view of a discreetly successful and moderately accomplished Abyssal temptress. Several Galtan executioners were fatally harmed in the making of it (they just couldn't get the crowd scene right) and the aristocracy of a small village in Taldor was utterly depopulated. On the other hand a brewing establishment in Druma did quite well financially, and the last (and successful) executioner has now retired to write his memoirs.
