Help me out Codexians. Who is this girl and what is the story between her and Chris?
Tina Parker. She sexually harassed Chris so severely that he outright refused to attend company events so he wouldn't have to be around her. She got away with it because her proud cuck of a husband is a co-owner.

Why would someone who isn't already in a relationship object to getting sexually harassed by that cutie?

"Never dip your pen in the company ink". You'd know this if you ever had a fucking job Roguey. Lol.

While that may be best practices, recent events have made it pretty damn clear that people dip their pen in the company ink all the time, even when the ink itself is unwilling.

Honestly, it’s a good question. By most accounts, Chris Parker sounds like kind of a douchebag (and certainly the worst co-founder named Chris). If Chris Avellone said no when Tina threw herself at him, that’s some serious lawful good behavior. Then again, maybe he slipped up one time and she wouldn’t leave him alone after—that’s a good reason to get the hell out of dodge. Maybe she just bullied him, though; we can’t really be sure if the harassment was sexual. Perhaps she was merely a loathsome person who was horrible to be around.

Given MCA’s willingness to correct the record when it comes to our misapprehensions about his former colleagues, I think we should assume that silence = the most negative possible interpretation.

Roguey being Roguey I'll just assume she knows that can't be how it happened :hero:

Avellone: I'm gonna interact on the internet with some people who seem to like my work, what can go wrong?

RPG Codex: Hey Chris, remember this post you made on wanka-panka.com forums in 1998, where you vaguely implied that neighbor of a friend had a dog who knew Feargus's dog, and Feargus dog implied to the other dog who implied to a friend who implied to neighbor that Feargus may or may not suffer from erectile dysfunction? Would you like to elaborate on that?

Yeah the implication I always got was that she was being a bitch
If that's all it was, seems like a situation that could have been resolved with the Chris Parker/Feargus Urquhart approach i.e. "Fuck you!" "No, fuck you!"

Obsidian employee(s) feeding Infinitron the Obsidian perspective. Infinitron being not so coy about it.

I used to have the naïve conception HR was there to help. Some in HR do. But the ones that don't can make you lose faith in human nature vs. corporate evil, greed, nepotism, and denial.

is certainly something to keep in mind about anything coming from a current Obsidian employee.
