Third! |

Hi, my name is Ryan, and I’m Thinglefin Employee #3.
When Toby and Jeremy first approached me about Thinglefin about a year ago, I was immediately impressed with their vision for both the business and the product. The business they envisioned would be small and nimble, in direct communication with the game’s players without the encumbrance of a distant publisher. The product would take many of the lessons we’d learned in traditionally large-scale MMO development and apply them on a different stage, to a game which would be smaller and more managable in scope yet with the potential to reach a far larger, more diverse audience.
Today, thanks to Toby and Jeremy’s tireless efforts, that vision is a giant step closer to being realized. I’m excited and honored to have the chance to join them for the easy part - making a fun game! 
But my first day will have to wait for a couple of weeks, while I complete my obligation to my soon-to-be previous employer. Until then…
Good luck all. Kick ass or it will be kicked for you.
Welcome aboard, Ryan!
Wow…very cool.
How brave of you to strike out (relatively) on your own like this. What a big boy you’ve grown up to be! And that Thinglefin thingie is so-o-0 cute, just like you used to be, before we got you that monster Trash-80 in the 80s and your eyes started glazing over and your fingers started getting gnarly and your grades dropped and you never came down for family dinner anymore. Well, maybe if I’m starting to sound like your mother, that’s because I am.So don’t I deserve some credit for the great guy you are today? Best wishes, Mom
Ryan,after reading your mom’s comments to your posting, I now think she should be employee number 4. Toby will you arrange this? I have no doubt she will keep you guys in check
You have a great and funny mom. Welcome aboard Ryan and I am glad you are meeting your obligations to your current employer.
