Post by: dark-daventry on February 23, 2006, 10:16:42 AM
I'm wondering what you all think POS will do for their birthday this year. If you have some specifics, or hopes, please don't hesitate to post them.

I know it's really early for this, but I just couldn't wait! And I know none of you will choose the last two options! (I hope) And it would be a shame if a team member did it!

I think it's sometime in May. Though we probably won't have the party for about eight months (the time when KQIX died and TSL was born).

Same with me!

I think POS's B-day is in may. I think it's may 15th. Last year they had an entire countdown to it. They revealed the release date (the one before VUG interfered.) and a whole bunch of other goodies. I just hope this year's better!  ;D

A POS POLL! <3

Anyhow, I must clear up this. May 15th is ex-KQIX now-TSL birthday, Phoenix Online Studios actually got born down the road but to give you an specific date might be unaccurate at the moment, because I don't really remember. First of all, it was Phoenix Freeware Online and then it became Phoenix Online Studios.

But yeah, we haven't really thought through what we would do next May but it will be, for sure, something good :)

Why not have another countdown for the birthday if you did last year?  It really doesn't make sense to keep dwelling on a sad event that's behind us now.  Besides, the project was allowed to continue.  I say PARTY PARTY PARTY!!!

May 15th was the birthday of the domain KQ9.org, but we stopped using that domain a few months later (and switched to KQIX.com).  I forget if this was the same time Phoenix Online Studios was born or not.  Technically Phoenix Online Studios formed from Phoenix Freeware Online, and I have no idea when that was born. :P

We'll have to switch from KQIX.com to our new domain eventually, so we'll probably celebrate the birthday of that instead of KQ9.org.  As for when that'll be... :suffer:

At least that's what I hope. What I'd really like to see for this years birthday is Part one of TSL ;D but I don't know that it will happen, but one can hope right?

I hope it's good. And sorry for wrong info. It gets confusing when things are shut down, then started again... I'll wait as long as needed!

Fine, have it your way. Dark-Daventry, you are under arrest for giving Cesar an opportunity to reveal his evil side. You have the right to remain silent. If you choose to give up this right anything you say can and will be used against you in the TSL Asylum. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, an annoying talking owl will be appointed to represent you before questioning if you request him to.

Guys, I wouldn't use the acronym POS for Phoenix Online Studios.  When I first saw the topic, I thought it was a joke.

POS, AFAIK, has always stood for Piece Of S***.

Phoenix isn't that.

If we've been punk'd, then Ashton Kutcher would start posting it on the forum. Wait, from the distance, I can barely see something. It's a bird, it's plane, it's Ashton Kutcher! I crack myself up sometimes!

Actually, the acronym POS stands for a whole bunch of things (http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?String=exact&Acronym=POS).
When googling for the acronym POS, only ~45,000 of the ~222,000 hits mention "piece of", so this usage can't be the most common one ('Point Of Sale' gets even more hits). Also, googling for POS finds several companies which use it, regardless of the 'alternative' meaning.
Whether you see it as a 'Piece Of S***' or not is totally up to you, I guess... :-\

Yeah I'm used to POS as piece of ____, but it never crossed my mind.

That's fine, but alot of people (yes, alot) are like me, and when I saw POS, I thought "Wha?  Who are they talking about? Who's a Piece of ____"  You get my point.

Just something to think about.

I certainly didn't think "Man, it's Point of Sale's Birthday!" (Off Topic, I almost took a job at NCR, the supreme Point of Sale creator).

Either way, in this place POS stands for "Phoenix Online Studios" and I believe that has been already cleared up.

Whatever other connotation given over here would become personal, anyhow. Whenever we've been featured at an article usually they write "Phoenix Online Studios" first and therefore they write down POS, obviously as it goes in writing.

No, we're not a Piece Of sh*t, but I believe the whole point about that matter has been cleared up by previous posts.


Going back to TSL birthday, Cesar and I have been discussing about it and it, although nothing is set on stone what we're going to give out/do that day, is going to be awesoommeeee :)



Title: Re: POS Birthday
Post by: Cez on March 02, 2006, 01:09:09 PM
talking with meh?

I'm not giving out NOTHING!

;p

and I don't give a POS what you all think ;D
Title: Re: POS Birthday
Post by: Say on March 02, 2006, 07:55:25 PM
Hahaha, someone please tie up the crazy man away :P

Either way, I'd like to hear what you think will happen that day!!

My guesses are:
1.- Cesar will dress up as bunny and dance around  :o
2.- The website will disappear!  :dead:
3.- Neil will give out cookies to everyone :D


I vote for... number 3 :P

Although, seriously, you've got 2 months to start wondering what the surprise will be ;)

Yay, cookies! Are they sugar cookies? I hate Chocolate Chip! Aww, why can't you tell us? I've been a good boy, haven't I? I've done the drooling over the wonderfully done screenshots... My guess is this: You will A. Bring us closer to the release of the game, or B. You WILL release the game that day! I hope it's option B! (It have better be, or else!)

I would love to see option 1! And option 2 would be very dissapointing!
