Poor bloke. They asked him so many questions, he bit his tongue until it bled.

My hypothesis is that the Frog and the Scribe are one and the same, or they whisper at the ear of each other. Their writing style is too similar...

Maybe the scribe was ran down by the roller beetle.Since the last issue was about Canthan New Year.He might be back after someone cleaned up roller beetle track.

It was definitely Gaile Gray although I didn't check on the exact spelling. Perhaps it was Gaille or maybe Grey, not really sure after 5 or 6 hours all names start to look alike.

Even if there is one editor, the scribe is a group effort. You can't possibly expect 1 person to go hunting for random (or maybe not so random ) acts of kindness.

But the personification of the lore of scribe IS a male monk's perspective.

But this little feature is great fun, and I believe in my heart that it truly enhances the Guild Wars experience.
The problem is Gaile that this is the downside of human nature... You can't please everyone, especially the Guild Wars community, but oh well...

On that note, I love reading the scrolls and I actually intend to use some of the scrolls for my weekly shows on SI Radio

Hmm, maybe seeing a random "The Scribe" NPC would be a nice lil touch in a random outpost from time to time

People obviously care, it is just a matter of fact of what your play experience is like. Obviously people playing since beta or whatnot may not have a high or huge priority compared to people who are not as fluent with the game.

This is a great method to show how Anet relates to the community directly from a perspective that is purely general. The freak accident that had happened earlier has probably discouraged this, although they should not be.

I think it was a better wake up sign of: Watch what your doing.

People really critiqued it and I was one of them, we thought something should have been explored more, and perhaps the writer should have dived into some different material to balance the article.

People wanted an apology, because we invest our time into it and were disapointed with it one way or another. Why? Because we want better, not nothing. We're asking Anet to step up their game, not turn it off!

I'm Bored With This Game!


If you can believe it, I have gotten so bored of Guild Wars I, your scribe, has moved on to a wonderous game called "World of Warcraft". BBL.


Random Acts of Kindness:
None, I stopped playing Guild Wars.


lol

Haha!

The Scribe has returned, perhaps he was just on vacation. Welcome back we missed you.
