    I honestly don't know. They could have offered him a new position within the organization to be @HCP's personal assistant. You know how corporations do things. They try to make you quit instead of firing you.

    This definitely should be a thread that we come back to look at once in a while.

    No, not if we ever find out the rest of the story (tm paul harvey)..but because of the picture BrianFromWa posted.

    Being HCP's assistant? Damn, that's a punishment worse than death!

    Godspeed Cody!

    It's funny, I used the picture b/c of the shirt being perfect.

    I don't think I've even been on the "Bodacious Babes" thread in years. A) I'm not old enough, and b) I don't want to invite criticism of misogyny any more than my opinions already do. :)

    to be fair, he's been unprepared the last couple of times we've had the sessions. He didn't even know that the Elemental Evil handbook had come out, giving him an extra 3 spells for his half-orc fighter-cleric to use. He might need someone to help him with the details.

    Happy Endings are the only benefits HCP gives out.

    So this confirms he was fired. I doubt the Blazers would ever share why, but the timing is odd.

    For the record, this is a joke, not posted by the Blazers.

    You know, I just have to say that.

    Yeah, there's no verified mark on there. We did get a bunch of O-live posters so ya know, they'll believe anything. :MARIS61:

    I don’t think my title should have been changed. I said possibly over a tweet. That could still be true. I didn’t break any rules. I don’t appreciate my post being edited. But of course it’s a thread about the Blazers front office, so of course it would be edited.

    Do we know he was even fired?

    Nothing was done to protect the Blazers in this thread. They've NEVER EVER complained about that sort of thing or pressured us to squash bad things about the team or management or promote the team as well.

    I wouldn't allow it, FWIW.

    He was definitely fired. He told me over Twitter that he was let go and they wouldn’t tell him why.
