Crossposting - for a player with 300+ posts, which implies that you do actually visit these forums occasionally, you seem to have missed the little box, it's a the top left of the page with a link to "Guidelines" (I've even linkied it for you, because, well, I do try to help out those less fortunate occasionally Smile

). The bit you might want to pay attention to in particular is this one:

I don't appreciate this.

Both Juxta and spugsmeistress have their opinions, which they have made clear here. They are free to continue this conversation in PMs.

Those of you still interested in this project, do move on. Those of you not interested in this project, feel free to PM me about it if you really feel the need to be heard. Bear in mind, however, that I prolly won't share your advice.

This thread has a purpose, and I thank you for sticking to it.

jojojojo

Firstly, I would like to say that Juxta represents the views of a few people I have spoken to. Just because they haven't made it public knowledge, it does not mean he is the only one with an opinion.

Frankly, a minutes silence is completely inappropriate. Did we all have a minutes silence when Dumbledore got killed? No, because it was inappropriate thing to do, and the rest of the World would of been in uproar at such disrepect for a time we reserve to pay our genuine remorse.

I am not arguing that Anna's death isn't a sad ocassion, but you all have to remember, this is a game. Some things are just not appropriate.

And Bookmore, there was no "drama" in anyones post, just pure opinion. If someone feels strongly about something, why can't they speak their voice?

And remember everyones, posts on UF do not get deleted. So it's no good shouting over a PM to fix it and make it all better, at most, the thread will be locked. Pointless in this case, as this subject has been crossposted everywhere.

poor mac :( i was shocked too.

i'd just like to add that the wave4 launch party will technically be an In Game event (or at least I assume it will) so I don't think our suspension of disbelief would be out of place there, or at the SF event either for that matter.

for the record, this 1 minute silence thing wasn't something that was decided on by this thread or even suggested by any of us, it was something mentioned in syz as that might be happening so please feel free to take your outrage about that elsewhere.

remind me not to send any of you lot any unsolicited presents ever - personally i wouldnt have anything against receiving a load of cranes in the post. we had a 1000 of them donated to the bridgewater hall by a craft workshop at chinese new year once while i worked there - they didn't seem to think they were spam, we exhibited them in the foyer porch and everyone remarked that they looked so beautiful they have stayed there ever since. so i really can't see whats so harmful about sending these to [TINAG] anna's family and friends/ [TIAG] mind candy either way.

as for any more personal attacks or patronising comments, i agree with Book - please direct them to me in PM (on the forum ta, not in IRC, for clarification), tis far easier to ignore them there.

rach =)

Dearest Spuggy,
I'll be brief, and try to be as clear as I can for you.

Suspension of disbelief - I'm not going to repeat what I've already said, regarding my own thoughts on the current in-game events. Suffice to say, read the linked post and you get my opinion. Read the previous post and you get my "out-of-game" thoughts on it. I have also not referred to the San Francisco event at any point in my posts, so I'm unsure why you're attempting to confuse the issue further - do try and keep on topic, no matter how weak your argument.

As I also said, if you can't, or don't want to separate the two, then feel free not to! However, if I fall/get pushed under a bus tomorrow - don't bother sending cranes to the funeral. Smile

As far as the cranes "being harmful" - again, that's not something which I have said anywhere. I freely admit to not "getting it", and have yet to see any stated "reason" for sending them initially. Now of course, you've successfully hijacked the project and made it "All about Anna". Again, if you want to do that, and evidently, you're not the only person, then please feel free to do so. But don't put words into my mouth, that's a trifle rude.

Now, onto the crux of the matter, as far as "When/Where/How/Who" the "One minute silence" issue was "decided", I really don't care. It's offensive, whoever came up with it. Perhaps they were ill-advised, and I'm sure that they didn't intend it to be, but it is still quite demeaning.

Also, the first that I knew about it, was when you spammed three threads across these forums with this wonderful idea. But, given the rapid speed with which you are now trying to distance yourself from the original idea, I'm quite willing to believe that it wasn't you who came up with it, and you just happened to be the person who decided broadcast it. To re-iterate however, I don't care who it was. Neither do I recall being rude or patronising on this topic - again, I would urge you not to try and divert attention away from the real subject here.

Finally, as far as "directing things to you in PM" - well, you seem utterly unable to do likewise, and I'm all for keeping this forum "open and honest" - these are public discussion forums, and I'm afraid that just because my opinion happens to differ from yours, doesn't mean that I have to sit here and listen, without recourse to make a response.

Feel free to drop me a PM however, if you feel up to it. I'm more than pleased to hold a lively debate on any topic you see fit.

Smile
