Should Toady take a Holiday?
« on: June 10, 2011, 08:51:38 am »
Anybody else think that our Toady deserves a break? Maybe it's just because I spent a while there following Notch's blog, but I've started to feel my own favorite game artist is putting in an awful lot of work and maybe could do with a holiday somewhere. Of course, it's easy if you have a few million in your back pocket, but exotic locations aside, I'm sure the DF community wouldn't begrudge a rest for our beloved Toad sometime soon.  ;)

What do you guys reckon?

Everyone needs a break now and then. Its a good time for a refresh. Just be sure to keep a pen and pad around incase good ideas come flooding in. :p

It depends if he wants to or not. I'm going to vote yes.

He doesn't need a holiday. He just needs a masterfully engraved dining room.  :P

 Yeah, Notch sort of takes holidays whenever he wants and decently often, because you know: "Screw you guys I'm a millionaire, I'm going to make a card game thing, haha!"

NO, get back on that keyboard and make me some digital pie! He can have all the holidays he wants AFTER the next release.

 I didn't donate $10 to him a few years back so he could take a short break from supplying me with thousands of hours of, otherwise completely free, pleasure and joy. I demand ALL Dwarf Fortress ALL the time.

The only party my dwarves ever attend is at the bottom of a volcano, Capeesh?

There's a missing option in the poll: "If he wants to."

Huh? He always takes several days break at the end of each month and even has an end-of-month project that is under-wraps for now.

Toady does what he loves, so taking a break for him probably doesn't have the same emotional impact as the weekend does for you. When he wants to, though, he does take breaks.

"I have a puppy instead", which while maintaining a polite tone, is quiet, calculating character assassination against Toady. Do some of you not see it as such, backstabbing?

Well, Toady's headed to a birthday party. 

Probably organizing it at a microline table. 

He'll be back in 6-7 months.

I'm voting "No" because I'm not going to say "Toady, you need to take a holiday. The community decided on it." His work habits should be his to decide. If he feels he's ready for a break, he should definitely relax from all of his work and take one. He seems like someone who enjoys his work and doesn't pressure himself too much with it.

The option in the poll for this would be "If he wants to." I doubt anyone will seriously think "No. He needs to work, he's lazy enough as is." We all appreciate what he's doing.
