I was reading over the changes to the UWE site since I last visited, and I noticed after the job openings section:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->All positions are full-time positions in downtown Vancouver, B.C.

I guess this means that NS2 will be "Made In Canada", and that Flayra will be moving to Canada <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
My only woe is that Flayra didn't choose eastern Canada, as then I would have been able to attend special events that Flayra holds for the public, like release parties and such things that are always too far for me to drive <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Still, I have family in Vancouver that I visit every few years. Maybe next time I'm over there I can ask Flayra for a tour of the UWE offices, if they'd let me.
Trust me, you're not missing much.
hehe
i live in vancouver BC, Canada
meh. As long as he doesent change some of the marine sayings too,
"My shrink says i need and outlet for my agression....eh?"
Where in Vermont? I'll be there in 20 minutes!! To bad I have no skills that would be useful to a gaming company, much less look good on a resume. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

*gets his resume ready*
And that also means that Vancouver has spawned the 3 most played HL mods; CS, DoD, and NS
I live in victoria, so I'm just across the water from vancouver.
Of course, nothing in this thread actually says anything official about Flayra moving to canada =P

"Ey, how a boot a scanner sweep here, comm?
I need a medpack, eh?
Those Aliens are going to know who invented hockey after today, eh?"
Huzzah stereotypes!
\/ \/ Awesome idea, eh? Replace the Medpacks with soda cans filled with maple syrup, and make the mines hockey pucks...
And I'm gonna replace skulks... <b>With beavers</b>
Considering the bite of a beaver.. that's not even that far fetched a replacement.
Okay.. Xeno's probably a little odd.. you only tend to get that if you're 4x4ing.

boo.
ya.
Moose = Onos
Blue Jay = Lerk
Grizzly = Fade
Otter = Skulk
Beaver = Gorge
you moving to vancouver? you better have money. everything is expensive over here. living space, office space, income taxes, goods and service taxes, provincial-sales-taxes, property taxes. all at outrageus rates. real estate market is also pretty hot because we're getting the olympics, so if you haven't got yourself an apartment/house already, you'll pay through the nose to get one (that is, unless you want to live in a crime-infested area where you wouldn't dare park your car outside) it also rains like 250 days a year here. david duchovny hated it so much he left the x-files because of the rain
on the plus side, grow-ops everywhere, and pot is easily accessible.
on a warning note to our new businessmen, our drunken pro-business step-on-the-common-worker facist government will lose power next election and the scandalous-incompentent "I declare war on big business" socialists will be back in power, so the business climate may change in a few years

Yet the UWE site still says:

It would seem to me like Flayra was leaning towards Vancouver, but changed his mind to San Francisco later, and hasn't yet updated the UWE site. I wish he'd reply to tell us what the Vancouver thing is about <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
