    As far as my team badge, I am not an employee of Uber. I was brought in to craft the lore for the game, I do not work in their offices. There are basically two types of writers in the game industry: Those that are part of a big team of writers for a developer (Bethesda, EA, Bungie, Activision, etc) and those that are brought in from outside the developer to work on a certain project. So while I work with Uber on PA, I don't have a desk in their office.

    These are all really great questions! All I can say is that as more of the lore is revealed you will get answers to these questions.

    As far as humans being tasty? You'd have to find a Xziphid and ask it about that!

    So you are the demigod that is responsible for the lore! ;)
    I've always been wondering if there would ever be an opportunity to ask a bazzilion questions, but at the moment, I have like zero questions that come to my mind. :confused:

    Well, perhaps...

    What do you think about the various fan-fiction stories that roll around on these forums?
    Here's a link of my ongoing fan-fiction series that I've been working on since February. If you look below in the first post in that thread, there's also a list of various other fan-fiction authors.

    I'm not a particularly good/great writer, but hey... I'm just some dude that works in a factory. :p

    PS.: You could always get a flashy forum title that says "Planetary God of Lore". :cool:

    Fan fiction is fantastic. It is part of what makes a writer love what he/she does. I consider it the greatest of compliments when people can take what I have written and branch off of it with their own creativity. So keep writing!

    As far as the flashy forum title, I think you should constantly hound Brad to get me that title! I like it!

    I understand that but shouldn't you have that dark blue badge then?

    I guess you'll have to ask Brad about that. I just write the lore! ;)

    While Mr. Matt is the God of Lore, you sir deserve the title of "The God of Gifs".

    How would you feel about a romantic fanfic?
    Invictus Commander x Delta Commander is my OTP :eek:
    Also Scipio would've been a cooler name than Invictus only because Scipio was the most badass general to ever live amirite

    So based on what people have read in Galactic War and from the four Commander factions, what stories would people like to hear more of? What so far has intrigued you the most?

    Can someone at Uber please give Kehm a different color. a color means a lot to us plebs. Sometimes I don't read topics because it is missing color of some sort.

    I like to think of it as rank. Plus it's uncommon, like getting a hat in TF2.

    Regardless, didn't mean to derail this post.

    Since my questions already been asked. What does a lead writer read for inspiration?
