I have noticed a growing trend in Escapist content featuring Graham Stark. I ask you, the community, whether or not you believe as I do that Graham Stark is in fact The Escapist.

No graphs will be shown in this thread for fear that they will kill myself or Graham Stark.

EDIT:
I have to say, I did not expect this kind of response. I am truly sorry to anyone this offended or insulted. It was merely a comment on my perception of the content that I have seen and view on a regular basis. It seemed to me that I would see his face pop up all throughout the site on a consistent basis. I understand entirely that there are a lot of creative minds that go into all content on The Escapist and projects involving the LRR crew. I meant this as a lighthearted post and did not think of how it could potentially be received by other contributors to The Escapist.

I not only adore Graham, but I happen to respect him a great deal. But to say that "He's in or has something to do with almost everything Escapist Magazine has to offer" is a bit insulting to the people who provide the rest of the site's content.

There's also all the other members of LRR that contribute heavily to the things that Graham is in >.>

I mean, he's great, he does a shit-ton of stuff, and is one ofe the most prolific content creators I've ever seen, but he's not the only person behind every project he's in.

And, as Susan said above, It's grievously unfair to the Escapist staff to say he "is the escapist"

No.

Because I have a higher post count than him, and so, I am automatically better!

Also, Matt is way more active in the forums from what I've seen, and therefore he gets +10 awesome points.

I said "I would prefer not to vote in this poll for fear of reprocussion from the website, Graham Stark, or his cohorts at Loading Ready Run" because it's the ironic answer.

I was promised two polls and only got one.

It's all Paul. Paul is really Susan, Russ, Funk, Tom, Greg, and all the rest.
Actually, I'm funk. You're right about the rest of them though. The persona of "Russ" was actually named after my Yorkshire Terrier.

Hmm...what about that Jon Etheridge guy? Is that one of you, too?

I agree with this.
He's great, but everything he's in isn't a one-man project.

No one man can do that much so well. Graham Stark, like Big Brother, is clearly a group of people, possibly also Russ Pitts.

I've noticed Yahtzee's voice changed liek totally. They said it's a new mic, but could it be a new voice entirely? Maybe that's why he's suddenly decided to open the Mana Bar. Not only would he be looking for new work, but a giant paycheque from The Escapist each month would make sure he keeps quiet about being thrown out. He probably used that to start the Mana Bar!

As for who The Escapist actually is, I think he doesn't post on the forums, or at least not with a staff account. He's like some shady SPECTR leader; I bet he hides his face when he divulges the next big plan to his LRR Henchmen. I heard his "muscle" is MovieBob, and he pummels people that discuss this. Pummels! So we best shut our mouths.

Ahh, I don't know. He text shouted at me for asking him to do less JRPG's in unskippable, and that stung deep. I really give most credit to the journalists who look up stories. I am not really big on most of the video stuff on the Escapist anymore, even though they all do pretty good jobs.
