It’s Getting Hot and Steamy in Age of Conan
Posted by Stropp on August 14, 2008Remember that Seinfeld episode where George gets fired for having sex with the cleaning woman on his desk at work?
I came across this on Lum’s blog, Broken Toys. He links to an escapist article about how a Funcom employee, a GM for Age of Conan was recently fired for having cybersex with a player.
I imagine the conversation in the boss’s office afterwards went something like this. (With apologies to Seinfeld.)
Boss: I’m going to get right to the point. It has come to my attention that you and a player have engaged in cybersex while playing Age of Conan. Is that correct?
GM: Who said that?
Boss: She did.
GM: Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.
Boss: You’re fired.
GM: Well you didn’t have to say it like that.

Interestingly enough, anyone who applies and can answer some obvious questions and go through a modicum of training, can be a “GM” or as Funcom calls it, Follower of Asura. I’ve heard of some shamefully poor conduct going on internally there, even beyond what that article suggests. I’m honestly not surprised.
