Hello.

I work for a company that targets social projects. We create great solutions and offer them along with support and other services at low prices. We play fairly and have passion towards social conscience.

Our main clients are the governments, who support social projects to promote themselves and, less importantly, social evolution.

The problem is that we have been offering adorable services for around seven months without payment. The political square of some of our clients suffered changes recently. Some politics have been replaced by rivals, and these rivals refuse to pay for the projects. They do not want to "promote" the previous ones.

The situation now is that we have millions of Euros to receive, and have not prevision. I saw many of my dear mates being laid off. Just today, around eight were excluded.

I avouch myself in the market, so I do not fear losing the current job. But I like my company. It gives me many opportunities and wakes up passion towards what I do. The worst thing is to think: Fæces!! My country does owe me money! Because of the rivalry between two or three loathsome men the life of many people is being affected. Millions are a penny for them.

This is the second time we have this problem. The owner of the company and some partners even sold their cars to make investments. Our work is beautiful. This kind of problem teaches us to not be too generous. We played fairly. And look at what is happening. Look at the reason for it to be happening.

Seriously.

What the hell are you? An assassin? What kind of 'social' work do you do for the government? It sounds like you work for a population manipulation company the way you said it.

Anyway, whatever you are, sounds like it sucks. I say, stick it to the man and sue the government for what it's worth (the exact amount can be questionable these days).

If you that much control over society, I say spread the word of Anarchy and watch the governments burn!

Ahem.

lol.

We create educative solutions mainly for projects of professional capacity, digital and social inclusion and post-graduation.

Edit: If I was an assassin or worked for that kind of company, I would not be complaining. So I know that you are just having a laugh.

You could be an assassin sent in by the former Soviet Union to bring down capitalism once and for all...

If it feels good, it's a sin.

Am I the only one who still has no idea what you do?

Are you yourself getting paid on a regular basis? That's basically what matters.

Pus in Buts and Sid, thank you for entertaining me, much. You rock.

Aikicat, I am being paid regularly. But that is not enough for me. Like I said, I have a passion towards what I do, my company gives many delightful opportunities. I am a graphics/concepts designer, programmer, audio synthesizer and advisor.

After many painful losses, things seem to be more stable now; some projects are covering our expenses. But I am not here to moan over a disgrace. I just do not comply with the pathetic conditions. >_<"

I still don't have a clue. Give an example of a project you would use your skill set on. You said your a graphics designer, programmer, audio synthesizer and adviser, so give me an example of something you would work on for your client.

So far, I have this picture in my mind of you and your company making a bunch of Uncle Sam pictures saying "We want you in the Army!" and posting them up in public places.

His job description also strangly reminds me of City 17 from Half Life 2 as well... anyone else getting that spooky, big brother is watching you feeling?

lol What the hell! Is not that enough? Right. With those skills, I am obviously an assassin. I did not want to say, but.. I.kill.people. What else would I use those skills in?

Seriously, I create mainly educative games and applications, vectorial interfaces et cetera.

Cheers.

So wait, what sort of 'educative' games do you make for the government? What sort of games does the government need to promote itself? Unless you mean educational games for government run schools, I still am not getting it.

I don't think the assassin thing is going to go, though to be fair 5louiz is probably more likely to be an assassin than the rest of us.

Good work, Louiz, except for the entity known as "Seppuku Arts", of whom everyone thinks he's insane, nobody believes you're actually an assassin hired to take out Codename "Grandma", the leader of the Evil Hello Kitty empire.

...Wait, is this a public channel?

It's alright, tha_rami is actually a super-villain Rabi, also known as 'the rabi', but calls himslf 'tha_rami' to hide his secret identity.



For the record, Grandma are partners - off the record, well that's between you and I, the rabi.

Yep, geek forums are the no.1 places to find assassins, super-villains, crime bosses and government employees. Just don't fall under Grandma's influence. I heard he takes your soul and stores it in a Satanic doom box, where the greatest evils of the earth are stored. Therefore, to save your own soul, you must bring humanity to it's knees in the process.

If it feels good, it's a sin.
