I've seen a lot of IRC chats copied/pasted but nothing from Mark officially (or any other Counsellor/GM) in this post or anywhere else. I wasn't in IRC and don't personally know anybody that was in IRC when he apparently said it's going to be extended.
For all we know people could easily be copying/pasting fake IRC chat msgs so people hold their emblems after today and get screwed... i doubt it, but hey - its hybrid and lots of people are dicks!
Just seems odd that he couldn't simply edit the original post and put "September 10, 2011" or whatever date it's extended to - would take 1 minute really.
I just want to be sure I'm holding 900k emblems and dont want to lose out on 13mil+ !
minus well spend them then.
