    I understand that they are busy (especially Mr. Gatekeeper) and I like the idea not allowing trolls to get in.
    But I am waiting for about 4 years now and no reply. :(

    I am the guy who developed Plague, Inc. iOS game which is still at ~30th top paid US position.

    How should I know if any gamedev friend is here on TCE to help approve me? To be honest, I don't know many other game devs because I am from the country where game development is not so popular...

    Perhaps now that you have pretty much told everyone who you are, someone who knows you might vouch for you? Seems like that happened for the OP.

    One simple way would be to post a coded message in the Ndemic Creations Facebook page (as the page owner). Like something that uses the word "shenanigans".

    EDIT: OR MAYBE I DON'T KNOW - CHAOS?

    Well, obviously legit. :)

    I'm not a mod, but hopefully one of them sees this soon.

    Blimey that took me ages to find. There were loads of dots on my display* - but at least it's nice and clean now.

    *No, they were specks of dust. Shesh. Some people and their dirty minds.

    [edit] also not a mod.

    Is nobody else more than a little nervous about admitting someone who so blatantly despises the very concept of TCE?

    Well, he didn't blow the place up in the 3 months since he's been let in, so I think it's probably safe. I also think 'despises' is overstating it a little. Unless... You think he's a sleeper agent? Waiting to be activated and then bring DOOM UPON US ALL?

    <coughs>

    Sorry. Turned into this guy for a minute:

    Isn't the problem that we wouldn't notice even if he was?

    Also he was pretty antagonistic about how this place was run and blatantly doesn't agree with the community tenets.

    There was that thing a little while ago, where someone took things they shouldn't have taken, and made it public and tried to make money on it. It was a little thing you might have heard of, called Enron!

    That's cool and I hope it worked. It reminds me of one of the guys on the Filthy Truth writing "TFT" on the back of a notice board at the end of one of the bridges in a GTA game. Maybe San Andreas, as that would have had the Golden Gate bridge in it.

    Want more of this.
