and I actually believe that it is illegal in some countries, as it is a protected title..

i think this is where you may be confused. you have the phrase backwards. its Engineer Professional. which gives a totally different inferred meaning than "Professional [profession here]".

I have to confess to being somewhat disturbed seeing shadowgod with a normal avatar and not a badge anymore :/

Alot of the news on AO Forums is decidedly disturbing this last few days. Today being especially disturbing.

Yeah, I 100% agree, Kintaii needs to make him some custom IRC avatar.

Two things; First thank what ever deity you believe in that you don't need reading comprehension to be a member of these forums or you would have problems greatly with a good number of my post. Second, I am a registered mechanical and civil engineer in the state of Indiana, and have held that title for 8 years now.

If you would like to continue the discussion about the server merging I will make a post in the fwm to respond to the 2 quotes you took out of context, but no more commenting on it in this thread as that is not what it is for.

Oh, we're not quite done with Shadowgod just yet either. There's still more goodness to come from the new Professionals program. =D

As long as it's pink and involves a tutu I can't see how anyone could reasonably object.

Congratulations to all those who have been elected as new professionals!

If any professional is interested in discussing ways for AOU to get involved with any projects you have in mind while you are representing your profession, please feel free to contact me directly.

Best wishes,
Katelin

So Engineer Professional needs to have technical degree, Soldier Professional should be capable with a gun, Doctor professional should have a surgeon title and NT professional should be a wizard with Hogwarth diploma.

In other news: my RP detector just went of the charts.

It's a total change for me, there's not any old professional left but me, but I know many of the new professionals, some were quite active on test server even

Welcome to the club ! With the balance you have much to do now

**Means** · Dec 7th, 2009, 21:36:30

Good job Kintaii. We all appreciate how much time and effort it took to get this program back on its feet. This is precisely the kind of personal dedication that has kept AO going strong for the last 8 years. We are all lucky to have you with us

If you are still at the office please go home now and get some sleep...

Welcome to all our new professionals (and our one old one)!

We have a great many things to discuss

Nah, in real life, Professional just means they know enough to get paid for it. The majority of them can easily be put to shame by someone whose motivation to learn isn't strictly monetary. I've done plenty of that myself over the years.

Kintaii never sleeps, he is always watching, watching, watching.

**Aiken** · Dec 7th, 2009, 23:03:49

Damn you Wr0my, you wouldda made an excellent Prof. :P

**Technogen** · Dec 7th, 2009, 23:05:00

But it would have created an overpowering force in our org, 3 professionals from it.

**Malaxia** · Dec 7th, 2009, 23:49:48
