I always invisioned Gaile as being mature, she doesn't fluster and break-down like a 20 year old which is good to see :P.

Lets guess her age, I bet she'll flame anyone that goes higher than 20 *flashes his eyelashes* lol j/k

On the topic of age, which, for the record, doesn't really matter. I for one never thought Gaile was 20-something. The way she handles herself and the way she speaks made that much too obvious.

This morning I awoke to find my computer had booted up itself in DOS mode. Then the cursor at the top began to write automatically, and this is what I saw.

computer: "Wake up Kurt"
me: "What?"
computer: "The Arena Net has you"
me: "What the hell?"
computer: "Follow the white rabbit."
me: "Follow the white rabbit?"
computer: "Knock knock, Kurt"

There was a knock at the door and I jumped.

me: "Who is it?"

"ITS GAILE GRAY!"


Let me tell you I was really glad it wasn't Morpheus.

So, now I know what the infamous Gaile Gray looks like! Bwahahahahahaha! And yet I am saddened by the fact that my theory about Anet (That the Dev's are kept in a windowless room all day, fed on dry bread and luke-warm water.) is false.

Now that you've established a little shrine to worship "the myth", maybe you should apologize for misspelling her name in the topic, first of all?

I'm not sure it's a good idea to have a forum topic that could so easily invite a personal attack against someone that so many here adore. Eventually some creep is going to post something mean or rude against Gaile personally.

Sure, say all you want against Gaile, Anet Community Relations manager, but lets leave her personal life out of this.

I don't know a thing about her personal life and I would like to keep it that way. I am however interested in anet and their employees, the athmosphere, how they look like, it gives a human touch to all the cyberstuff. It's a company in the real world with real people.

The pictures are exposed on another fan site.

The mods would've deleted this already if they thought you'd done anything to offend Gaile or Anet, so don't worry about it. Also, pics have been posted of her here and other places already. I'm sure as long as people are courteous and respectful she won't mind. Gaile's good people.

I'm honestly disapointed by the pictures. I was expecting to see her in purple leathers with a pet lynx and flowers in her hair

*rolls eyes* You know, at GC, I almost said "Oh, please, no pictures cause they're always awful!" But I made soooo many friends there, and saw so many I was already friends with, and that would have been abominably snotty of me. (Or is that snooty? )

Anyway, that really is sort of an awful picture of me. I mean, I was sleep deprived, jat lagged, I'd lost my hairbrush, and the place was about 110 degrees on stage, so I was really ratty. There might be a better one. Somewhere. But... well... probably not. *sigh* (I'm done apologizing I don't look like my Ranger. )

GW Story: I told everyone a GC, "Look, you're welcome to a picture, but not of me but with me, please because that's just more friendly." (As if I wanted pictures of me alone. Ughie!)" Anyway, 'cause I believe in "truth in advertising," I honestly did warn everyone, "I haven't had a decent picture taken of me since I was 6 years old." (Which is the age at which my mother had my hair cut short and then began nagging me to cut my hair. Weekly. For years and year until she gave up in despair, knowing she was never going to win that one. )

No, I am not anyone's grandmother, Ulivious. *snicker* I like to think of myself as sort of the Auntie Gaile sort, though, because aunts are allowed to be a lot more fun than mothers or grandmothers, you know?
