Title: Anyone knows Ghost's email?
Post by: AnalogGuy on Wed 19/09/2012 22:44:37
Perhaps this does not belong into here... but I must post this anyway.

Since Ghost left the AGS forum, I only now realized I never asked his email so is there anyone who possibly knows some way to contact him? If you do, please send me PM.

I even joined Ghost's "daemons in the attic" blog site but yet I haven't received any responds. I also sent PM for Bicilotti but he hasn't been online for long time.

I would also like to get in contact with Ghost if possible (regarding two game projects we were discussing over PM). Help would be appreciated.

Ghost: if you're reading this, please come back, we miss you!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.  Ghost is gone?  This... saddens me.  I guess  Billy Joel was right....  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERWREcPIoPA)

Why did he leave? And why is his account gone?

Ghost and I were also collaborating on a game. Plus I was helping him with a few little things for the upcoming (?) deluxe edition of RAM Ghost. I was shocked when I tried to PM him and his account had been deleted.  :sad:

Come back, Ghost! I promise I won't tease you about the umlauts ever again. :cry:

I like to think Ghost still watches over us from somewhere up above, sort of like... I dunno, a ghost?
Seriously though, he's not dead or anything, just away as far as I know, so take it easy guys!

He's gone... again? aww... :( Anyone knows what happened to him?

Anyhow, you can find his mail address in the readme of his latest MAGS entry.

guys, if someone intentionally deletes his account to perhaps get a free head and/or get away from gamemaking for some time and/or concentrate on important things in life do you really think he will answer emails about gamemaking? As sad as it is, it was his decision to delete the account and not just not visit the site anymore, and I think/hope he will come back once the time is right for him, as there are some things unfinished and I think he seems like he doesn't like unfinished things. In other words: Ghost, come back!

I thought you can't delete your own account anymore? Or can you? I noticed a while ago he was gone and I hope you're right and he hasn't been banned or something...

If it's somebody you know and you've worked with before, then yes.

Yes, there's a button for that. I've never heard of these forums banning anyone who's not a spambot (and certainly not without a thread explaining why).

He was making crystal meth in a broken down RV and had to go into witness protection once his DEA brother in law found out about his side business. Anyway, that's the story I'm going to believe. ;)

I removed the ability to delete your own account a while ago, because it's dumb.  If you want to leave the community, stop reading the forums!

Perhaps it came back after the forum migration? Because right now the option clearly exists. Go to the 'profile' menu then click on 'actions', and a button 'delete profile' shows up. Ghost's profile strikes me as deleted: he no longer appears in the member list, and PMs from him no longer have a return address.

Seems I disabled it for normal users, but not for anyone belonging to other user groups, such as 'AGS Baker' (to which you and he belong(ed), hence your seeing it).

That sucks that Ghost has left the forums. He is the one that made the golden floppy disk in my sig.
Title: Re: Anyone knows Ghost's email?
Post by: on Sat 22/09/2012 01:07:32
I smash that golden disk up in rage! But only because it's fair to say people go through various emotions dealing with AGS, the community and the fall back from being a game designer. Which of those is predominant with Ghost I don't entirely know - but it's clear nonetheless it sometimes asks for involvement beyond just reading text and opinions, and that's not always something someone can give 100%. Ghost is out there...he's making games...being all ghostey and stuff :)

Even with the email I have got, still no responds. I really hope Ghost will contact me because of Mythaumatology which was almost finished! It would seem very irrational for him to stop it at the near of goal... but then again it's irrational to ragequit without even telling why...

Ghost! Where are you???

I am SAD!

Perhaps we should hold a seance? I can't think of a better way to speak with a ghost.  :=

Did you enter his e-mail using a keyboard or a ouija board?

After reading all this I'm starting to fear I could delete myself someday while drunk.

Surely Ghost wouldn't consciously want to get rid of his account.
Title: Re: Anyone knows Ghost's email?
Post by: Ponch on Sun 14/10/2012 03:30:47
Have we stopped to consider that he may have been a RAM Ghost all along? Perhaps he finally had enough successful spooks and he was able to escape the hellish prison wonderful community that is the AGS forums?

That's how I prefer to think of it. He ascended to the next level of existence rather than deleted his account in a drunken stupor.

Godspeed little ram ghost. Godspeed.  :=

Still no answer or any contacts...  :~(

I will keep bumping this topic until I can find out where the ghost is lurking.

I'm a bit tired, but I'm pretty sure there's a 6th Sense joke to be had here. AnalogGuy can't see Ghost... but you can... like in the film 6th Sense?

Someone make that joke.
