Cory of Admin: Your Everyday Reclusive Programmer

Posted by: Cerberus on 2006-04-20
Category: Admins

President of Grimoire Entertainment, Inc. and lead programmer for the Dark Grimoire, Cory is terse, anti-social, and downright reclusive. Yet, still regarded as many players' favorite Admin. How much this has to do with Cory's likable and how much it has to do with Ben's bi-polarity is questionable. ;) Actually, he's not that a-social, just too busy to bother with us player folk.

Cory started the Dark Grimoire as a pet project to keep his programming skills fluent and current while working some other type of job. After initializing the original work, he began asking some buddies to entertain the idea of helping him write a story and content for the skeleton of a game he created. In time all of these friends moved on, save for Ben. However, Dark Grimoire continues to grow in complexity and effeciency as Cory hacks away at the source in his sometimes very limited sparetime despite his innate talent for driving away friends. A security and effeciency nut, a good deal of his time gets spent on refining code and improving the integrity of the website.

In game, Cory is known for being outrageously random and bizarre. Perhaps, this is why players like him so much. For a rather long period of time he strode around in godly splendor sporting only an Ale Hat. He's been known to demand players present him with impromptu plays, walk around in guise as a Hooded Old Man, and to turn Inn Zombies into real Zombies, Thistle Beasts, or Cute & Adorable Bunnies.

Cory is most often heard in game making announcements like "Oops." or "Sorry, I did that." following a brief period of heavy game errors. On the forums he responds to bug reports and suggestions, with the occasional jab at his buddy Ben.
