Salute to sebel Topic

As a way of saying "Thank you" to Scott for keeping the lights on all these years, I wanted to share a Triple Top Secret Transcript of the last WIS Staff Meeting prior to Adam and Chris coming on board.

SEBLE: Good morning everyone, welcome to the weekly What If Sports Support Staff meeting. Let's get started with Roll Call... Development - I'm here. Level 1 Support?
UNPAID INTERN : Here.
SEBLE : Level 2 Support?
UNPAID INTERN : Here.
SEBLE: Level 3 Support? ... Level 3?
UNPAID INTERN: You're here.
SEBLE: Right, that's me. OK, QA? That's me. Software Deployment? Me. Web Development? Me. Engineering? Me. Future Enhancements Planning? Me. Customer Relations Interface? That would be mine, too. Supply Acquisition?
UNPAID INTERN: Got your Jolt Cola right here sir.
SEBLE: Great. Public Relations? Me. Server Support? Me. Vendor Relations? Mine. New Business Development. New Business?
UNPAID INTERN: I think that slot's been unfilled since Fox sold us.
SEBLE: Come to think of it, you're right. Someone from Documentation needs to fix that. Speaking of which... Documentation?
UNPAID INTERN: That would be you again.
SEBLE: Yep. Nice to have such a good turnout. OK, on to the agenda. Any pressing business?
UNPAID INTERN: Some guy named mojodude is making noises in the forums about how we insulted him.
SEBLE: Nice work.
UNPAID INTERN: But we didn't this time. He was complaining about something not working right in the game, and we looked it up in the Knowledge Base ...
SEBLE: Oh, that reminds me, I need to add Knowledge Management to the roll call. Go on.
UNPAID INTERN: Anyway, the KB article we found on "Things Not Working" says that the application is functioning as intended, so that's how we replied.
SEBLE: Hmmm -- that didn't satisfy him, huh? Ok, let me read the fo--- hey wait a minute! What are you doing reading the forum? That's not in your job description!
UNPAID INTERN: Sure it is... look at my "Customer Communications" title.
SEBLE: By golly, you're right! OK, let me read the forums.... hey, these look different. What happened?
UNPAID INTERN: Those changed months ago.
SEBLE: Wow. I've been so busy working on GD, HD, HBD, HBP, RBI, and FUBAR that I guess I haven't found time to read the forums. OK... let's see... OH. That problem. That one really is a bug.
UNPAID INTERN: Oh. Wow. My world is shattered.
SEBLE: Get ahold of yourself. I'll just explain it in the forum thread. Any more business?
UNPAID INTERN: Complaints about the Coaches' Council....
SEBLE: You mean the GD Illuminati? Don't touch that one.

<two hours later, the phone in SEBLE's office - also known as the Janitor's Closet, since that's yet ANOTHER responsibility that falls to him - rings loudly>
SEBLE: WHAT? Can't you see I'm busy programming here????
UNPAID INTERN: No sir, I can't see you, because you're in the closet.
SEBLE: OFFICE!
UNPAID INTERN: Right. Anyway, it's about the forum -- now they are saying that your explanation makes about as much sense as the Yatzr Issue.
SEBLE: What Yatzr Issue?
UNPAID INTERN: Something about logging in and Ric Flair in the Clouds....
SEBLE: I installed the fix for that over two years ago. Let me look.... Oh Crap. I forgot to change the line FixGlaringLoophole#9 = 0 in the GridIronDynasty.ini file. Let me just correct that now. There. Done! No more complaints.
UNPAID INTERN: THAT will be the day.
