That's interesting. So there's a specific internet type of this, huh ..

My hands face and neck was covered in the poor beast’s blood. I felt ashamed, but my gut was saying otherwise, bulging with food. I felt content now. Unfortunately. Only for a few moments. I looked down and saw that the scales had crawled up past my arms and to the base of my neck. My feet had finished deforming, long digits of three with menacing claws aching to be impaled with an animals flesh. I delighted in thinking about it. No, wait, I don’t. With a shudder at the conflicting thoughts, my attention drifted to my legs. However, my examination was cut short by just how bad my vision was. Everything was blurry now. I could barely see. I let myself sit back and rest. Before I could fall back into sleep, however, Kerrigan made her appearance again.
“Wow. Er….” I heard the sound of clinking platters and what was probably the bone, “ Well. You still hungry?” My eyes shot open.
“Yes!” I heard myself exclaim, but I didn’t realize it until a few moments after. I corrected myself and sat back down. Putting my deforming hand against my forehead, I sighed with frustration. Kerrigan plopped down and lied next to me. I felt her breath against my cheek, and heard the inhale and exhale of her lungs. Her scent. Something about it… I can’t grasp the word. A peculiar musk of some sort, a perfume.

Well, The (...Can I call you The? It's a bit informal, I know, but I'm afraid I'm not entirely comfortable using something like "Grand Space Leader of Leaders"...good thing yer such an accommodating kind of guy, thanks... ), you're smart, effective, good at organizing, and good at the social / networking aspects. Credit where credit is due. (but ya don't suffer from low self esteem, do ya? ;D ) I think you're well aware that many players in EVE might be a little wary of you, hoping you use your powers for good, as it were.

I'd like to think you are smart enough to see that a healthy future eve means more fun for all, however we play, as we are all - sorry if it causes trauma for anyone, just kinda those pesky fact things - dependent on each other overall in making this the big sandbox we all enjoy.

So, allow me to quote myself from another thread:
"'I'm pretty amazed at how so many EVE players - very much including most of the CSM candidates - freak out at the mention of WiS / ambulation. Folks...it's coming...can't you see the future direction of EVE? Dust 514 will be a success, I think (whatever might happen with it's initial success, I doubt the concept of the Eve tie-in is going away [but I kind of think dust might do ok...]), and more and more tie-ins moving in the direction of avatars walking / driving / skimming / shooting around are going to be part of EVE. The incarna thing was messed up...do you really want that kind of disaster again? Ignoring ambulation and treating the idea with utter contempt risks CCP not developing the game with player input in this critical area. The spaceships-first positive focus CCP has realized is their good core game is always going to remain the way it is as CCP has more success and starts making more money with avatar-enhancing game additions? Dismissing WiS / ambulation with a sneer as whiny ridiculous spacepantsbarbiefluff rather than recognizing that it's gonna happen and needs to be done right with the proper focus on spaceship game-first is shortsighted and dangerous to a healthy future EVE."

Seems that far from going away if we ignore it, the issue with the WiS / ambulation thing is something the CSM will face ongoing. I just hope the CSM doesn't let the disgust generated for all by the incarna disaster blind them to trying to get CCP to do it right (meaning don't sacrifice FiS to do it, don't make it an either-or thing CCP, do both), since it's coming in some form, bad or good eventually... So I'm trusting you're smart enough to see what's coming, The, and what it could mean to our game (including, of course the hunting for your associates and every other activity of those you consider your constituents...and the rest of course :) ). So, if you're gonna be the CSM guy - you got this?

The concept of WiS was good. The current implementation and direction was ****, and I seem to remember something being said about how there was a huge difference from what CCP said to the CSM, and what CCP delivered, which would account for the 180 degree change in attitude.

Just call me Mittens, it's a lot easier.

I actually supported Incarna as it was initially presented in the design stages. It seemed like a necessary evolution. I didn't expect it to be so utterly botched, that botch timed with the disastrous planning failure of the NeX store, set video cards on fire, and have no follow-up establishment gameplay after literally years of work.

Most of us see Incarna as a symbol of the worst sort of Icelandic Kool-Aid, and while we suspect it will eventually be developed, it should only be developed after badly-needed resources which were wasted on Incarna's failures go to patching the holes in the actual game we play. You know, the one about spaceships.

If you really need an ~ambulation fix~, you can always go make yourself a space-themed zone in Second Life and do whatever it is people over there do.

When you get into the mindset of calling what we were presented for WiS "Incarna", and call what was actually promised "Ambulation", Mittani's stance is pretty good. Dude liked what WiS was supposed to be, thinks that CCP botched it hard, and pretty much now needs to be humbled and put in the "time out corner" for a bit to learn their lesson before they are allowed to make realdolls in space again.

Mmkk....So let me get this straight - you know that it's a good idea if it were to be done right and is coming, but anyone who might think that should just go away?...got it...makes total sense...
So it's gonna be the blinded to the direction the game will eventually take by the disgusting failure CCP bungled with incarna then is it? Alright...

If you don't understand why the practical effect of the Incarna botch has everyone with any kind of business sense leery of expending more work on WiS, I don't know what to tell you. All the mmmkays and ...s in the world won't change the playerbase's kneejerk reaction to last June.
