Anyway, three cheers for Gaile. ^^ A great community rep for GW, even despite the fact that I disagree with some things Anet does sometimes.
Gaile Gray (the face behind the myth)

Well, Gaile you actually do look like your ranger, at least an awful lot more than I look like any of my characters. 
Cool pics, though I was unaware of any myths (?).

I'm just waiting for someone to ask Gaile's age so she can E-slap them.

Filing Cabinets on the other hand are usually in closests.

So, Aunty Gaile, seeing as how you always watch guild wars "encoded" would you mind telling us who is The One, and how we go about finding him?

cosyfiep
hm, as she is proabably about the same as as I am, I would rather call her sister.....since my aunt is 77.....

I have a flatscreen monitor, now, and I use the old CRT for the second monitor. Gotta love dual monitors!
I now have four file cabinets! It's where I keep swag, like t-shirts, hats, skill pins... all those tasty contest prizes have to have a home somewhere, right?
My team is moving to another office next week. I'll still have a couple of windows, though, so that's cool. Ooh, I'll see if I can post up a picture when I have it decorated for Halloween.

Oh, for those of you wondering what "the myth" part means, I think it's any one of these possible conspiracies:
1. The Myth behind Gaile Gray is that she doesn't really exist, she's just a highly advanced AI designed by Anet that far exceeds that of Alesia.
2. She is the collaboration of all the devs, any one of them talking as her or Alex whenever they're feeling 'chatty'.
3. She actually is Alex Weekes in disguise (this is still possible!
)
4. All her messages/posts/in-game chats are just random gibberish binary code that just so happens to create coherent words and sentences that just so happen to relate to the discussion.
5. She is actually the Goddess Lyssa performing pointless illusions for our enjoyment.
6. Gaile Gray is actually a guild name, and we've been talking to average 'know-nothing' players this whole time. I feel cheated! Get a real dev in here!
7. Gaile Gray is PR, not CR. (HUGE misconception! I smell conspiracy!)
8. She's actually an ordained minister, and recieves tax breaks because she's declared Guild Wars as a religion. (this, too is still possible!)
9. She's the central hive mind of the insect-like race that is the Anet devs. (see #2)
10. Gaile's a desperate supermodel and is actively seeking any and every young male that plays Guild Wars and has amassed countless 1,000's of hours of gameplay, millions of plat with FoW armor on all 36 of their characters, to actively date - with hopes to get to *gasp* 2nd base with! (huge misconception, yet again! She's actually not that desparate )

Four file cabinets FTW however. Proof we need 4 storage units ingame too I think...

but i have another ?
if she is just a community relations manager y does everyone get so fussed up about her. like making myth's and stuff its pointless. i mean id understand if she created guild wars. but y would u guys have to get all fussed up about her. it doesnt seem like shes that important in the guild wars foundation. and people i dont think she really wanted her picture put online for public viewing. i definitly wouldnt either (not that im ugly or anything or am i calling gaile ugly) its just its personal buisness.
(if my comments have offended u in anyway gaile gray i will delete this post just say so)
