I would like to reiterate something.....This player panel was to discuss the view of CEOs/Influential people of the current game and also to look to the future.
There have been significant events recently and I, for one, would be immensely happy to do a show on it. This has a number of constraints however.
1) My objectivity (and that of Gremrod) would be questioned because of the corporation tag I wear, people will also make rash statements emotionally with no investigation or research themselves e.g.
Simply pretending it didn’t happen is hypocritical and will only fuel further rumors the feeling of vengeance.
This post provides the background as to why, after much discussion between Grem and myself, WE decided not to just rush ahead with a show on the M2S topic even though WE discussed it at length.
2) We will never please everyone. Now this is a fact we all live with, however in the small community which exists right now, sensitive topics have a tendency to get blown out of proportion and cause damage. I would rather approach things in a more considerate manner and get it right rather than jump in with both feet and get it wrong and hurt the game.
3) There is nothing stopping anyone else putting their time and reputations out there and doing something on their own. I always considered it to be Gremrod's podcast, I was just there to help out, but even Grem spoke to me the other night and said this was OUR podcast, if you don't like how WE do things, don't listen or do your own.
Both our virtual 'doors' are open to the community to contribute to what we do and we get very little actual support except for a small number of individuals who I graciously thank here and now, you know who you are .
I dont want to hear you bashing Styx or somebody else.
But a objective report of what happend and what that means for the future of perpetuum shouldnt be missing.
I would hope that after 6 episodes, we had earned enough respect to not be thought of as being the type of people to 'bash' anyone. If that's how people think we would react, then something has gone missing somewhere.
If you want to influence what we do and how the community grows, man (or woman) up and step up to the plate.
