Did I miss an announcement? The people we don't talk about are talking about another new editor here. Does that mean that EiC Bill's training of the current team has reached a point that they can be let loose unsupervised, freeing up time for Bill's development of TMP 4.0 and training another new member of staff? |

It is very difficult to keep a secret these days what with all this social media availability. Expect a huge announcement soon on TMP. |

Did I miss an announcement? The people we don't talk about are talking about another new editor here. Switching in (and out) of editors is becoming a bit routine, so I haven't been making announcements lately. Editor Jhajha is back to school for her final semester (bye!), and Editor Dianna is our latest trainee. Does that mean that EiC Bill's training of the current team has reached a point that they can be let loose unsupervised, freeing up time for Bill's development of TMP 4.0 and training another new member of staff? Editor Hebber is a trainer now (in fact, she trained Editor Jhajha) – so yes, my time is much freer now! Work on TMP 4.0 progresses… |

Do the Editors have any experience in wargaming or the hobby in general? |

Hi! My name's Dianna Storm, 29 years old, living in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. I'm the newest editor here at TMP. It's so nice to be working at TMP. I heard about this job from a friend of mine – you know her as Editor Claire! At first, I didn't understand what she was doing all the time – I just knew she was busy! But now that I'm training as an editor, I see there is so much to do and learn. I want to learn everything, as I find this hobby very interesting. I am also excited and eager to learn, because this is such a great job compared to other work in my country. Though I am sometimes confused and even scared, I know I can do this job and prove that I can make it, and also be proud to be on the staff here. If you have more questions, you can ask anything you want. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. Have a nice day! |

Do the Editors have any experience in wargaming or the hobby in general? As I said, I am new here. I want to learn all about the hobby. I hope Claire and I can begin playing games soon, so we can become wargamers like all of you. |

Can no one else see "Showdown"s comment? I thougt it would be edited by now? |

Welcome Dianna! Please feel free to ask questions. |
sjwalker38 | 12 Nov 2014 2:53 p.m. PST |
I just didn't understand Showdown's comment. |

Welcome to the world of miniature war gaming Dianna. |

I've been reading TMP for a long time but I still don't understand the internal politics so instead I try to just concentrate on the few things that I comprehend. |
Editor in Chief Bill | 12 Nov 2014 6:21 p.m. PST |
Can no one else see "Showdown"s comment? I thougt it would be edited by now? I didn't understand it! I just didn't understand Showdown's comment. Me neither, so I asked him. He answered. Meanwhile, I realized Showdown was a previously banned member, so I locked about 10 of his accounts. Don't look for a reply explaining what if any thing he meant. Shrug. He told me, and I still don't understand. |

Why is so much time spent locking members' accounts when they can just start another one. A little bit like chasing after pot smokers with a only a joint in their pocket. Not like they will do any real time. It really doesn't stop anyone. Wouldn't it be better to just let it go and move on? Not everyone is going to be in line with the appropriate TMP "attitude" all the time. Guys can wake up grumpy and nasty. I think TMP is big enough and mature enough to just move on rather than spending time chasing all these little complainers down and locking their accounts when they can just open another one without anyone knowing. Just my thoughts…. |
Editor in Chief Bill | 12 Nov 2014 6:56 p.m. PST |
Why is so much time spent locking members' accounts… Who said much time is spent on it? If it was, I would have caught him months ago. |
Editor Dianna | 12 Nov 2014 8:23 p.m. PST |
Thank you everyone!! Have a nice day! |
GrapeGasse | 13 Nov 2014 2:54 p.m. PST |
I thought it was obvious what he meant but it was so very crudely put! Such it is, as we say. |
Editor in Chief Bill | 13 Nov 2014 5:02 p.m. PST |
GrapeGasse, could you be the latest sock puppet? I've locked your account until you can explain certain things, which I have sent you a PM concerning. |

Welcome Editor Dianna – I can't imagine what's involved in keeping this (myself included) unruly mob in order! I like this thread, though. It's like a microcosm of TMP. |
Dagorlad | 21 Nov 2014 4:52 a.m. PST |
Welcome Dianna, thanks for taking on the job of editing the site. All the best. |
Editor Dianna | 21 Nov 2014 7:41 a.m. PST |
Hi everyone!, hope all are doing good! thank you so much for the greetings! Have a nice day!:) |
sjwalker38 | 28 Nov 2014 11:58 a.m. PST |
I see 'over there' that Dianna is no longer the newest editor here? Why has Bill stopped announcing new arrivals when not doing so just seems a bit furtive ? |
Tank Top | 28 Nov 2014 2:24 p.m. PST |
Well not that long ago he was being criticized for parading them across the front page. Seems like he can't win. Anyway presumably he feels he needs more help so that's his choice |
Editor in Chief Bill | 28 Nov 2014 3:43 p.m. PST |
Editor Maui is here for training; not sure yet if she'll be with TMP long-term, or moving on to another one of my projects… Keep in mind that we have two editors currently unable to work, and another editor still in training, so we're shorthanded for the holiday rush. |
Editor Maui | 01 Dec 2014 7:29 p.m. PST |
Hello, everyone! I am Editor Maui. Just new here and trying to learn everything so I can work well for TMP. I am not that smart, but I am willing to learn. Thanks |

Welcome to the boards, Editor Maui. |
