    Calling all Uber developers! This is a chance for some of the quieter developers to brag about what they've been working on! We haven't heard from @pinbender, @forrestthewoods, @o, or @varrak lately about any of the interesting things they've been building... so here's your chance to brag. Any cool graphics optimizations, effects, pathing-updates, architectural changes coming along?

    @o doesn't really talk much.
    No one even knows if he's real.

    The devs don't really talk to us about what they're doing.

    It makes me sad. :-(

    @OP you've not actually chosen the quietest team members there :p

    I suspect you'll hear from some more devs in the documentary when it comes out :)

    @o is usually working on being CEO, but sometimes gets time to work on performance analysis tools, affectionately known as UberProbe.
    @pinbender has been working on improving UI responsiveness and has made some progress.
    @forrestthewoods has been working on a revamp to pathing with Eli, weapon systems, and sim efficiency
    @varrak has been working on multi-threading the client to do things like double the fps on his test machine lategame and other fps related goodies. Also he does UberProbe work too.

    The answer to your follow up question is, "soon".

    The real question remains. Who is @o?

    If anything is clear, it's that Mavor, who I thought was @o in disguise, is actually Uber's CTO, as stated on this page.
    http://www.uberent.com/pa/the-team/
    And as per a "normal" company structure, the CTO answers directly to the CEO. So if it's not Mavor in disguise..

    Once again, the playerbase is baffled. Who is this mysterious o? AND WHAT WILL HE DO NEXT?!
    Props to who gets that reference xD!

    If that's a guess, then nope. Never heard of it. Though my specific reference probably used the phrase as a reference from something else, so there may be an original creation source of said phrase that I don't know of.

    RUINING THE MOMENT

    Also, thanks. I recognised him, but I guess I missed/forgot any obvious implications. Can't win em all. :/
