Out of Pod Experience

Far more people have seen Solecists boobs ...
... but I did not say that.

At all.


Nope.


(This post equals a death sentence.....)

Well, well, well...

As I said on another thread, I introduced the calendars (this one and the other two projects released after it) to the o7 show crew and have received back a mail from CCP Manifest.

Essentially, they are following the project but it's not something they can support officially for obvious reasons* (26 of them, if you count them pair by pair).

Anyway I am proud that at least they've taken notice of the project. If I ever figure how to shape another project I fancy (and whether I can carry it to its end), I swear it will stay in the PC side of corporatism.


*but then, what could be done with a idea inspired by a pantsu party at The Greater Fool Bar...?

I feel insulted. This is making me angry and sad.

Well, the calendar hasn't fared bad so far, with over 17,000 views of the whole set and Janaury being viewed almost 26,000 times.

It's a large success compared to the ambition behind it.

Erica ... you have to consider evolution and organic growth.

First there was the OOPE calendar. The idea itself was special.

Then I came up with the underwear glitch,
which is special too, because it's absolutely "clever use of game mechanics". (to quote CCP directly)

Due to reallife I failed to create a calendar,
but it was enough to trigger someone, Indah, to make her own.

That, too, is special.

HER calendar triggered someone else to create another calendar!


Now I have to cut your elitism short. Indah's calendar got viewed by tens of THOUSANDS of people,
as can be seen by the views of the calendar on imgur. Of course, we can also see that the interest
dropped per page. Each consecutive month had less views, which means that people were interested,
but less and less people cared enough to keep looking at the next month.

That's fine though and was absolutely predictable ... at least for my mind.
Expecting a hypermajor success is delusional and considering the amount of views
thanks to "Something Awfull" already is a big success by itself!

I can assure you that several thousand more people know who Indah is,
thanks to her calendar, than there are people who know you.

In the eyes of CCP we are all equal. Instead of believing to be elite ...
... we should work together for a common goal. You are not working for that goal though,
you are only working for yourself. You either want avatar-stuff to get pushed forward, or you don't.

There is no room for "I" here. The "I" will only get pushed out eventually,
because the "I" thinks it's too important to help growing the "We".

That's not how it works! When this takes off, people will only point at you and say
"Well you didn't care about helping us grow this, so ... well, too bad, thanks for the attitude."


TL;DR:

Your undeserved elitism makes you ignore the gigantic amount of special we already have here.
Instead of helping making it more special, you complain about it not being special enough.

What you want is to be there when it is "special in your eyes",
instead of helping us making it "as special as it can become!".


And that's why your words make me angry!


You are not special! Dare I say more people know ME than there are knowing YOU,
simply because of all the **** I have done so players like YOU can enjoy the game even more!

Yet you see me cheering literally everything that supports the common cause!

More people know Indah, because of the work she has put into the calendar!

You don't see her talk down on the New Order calendar as well! She supports the common cause!

You are certainly special within your own range,
but our range extends farther than that!


So instead of isolating yourself on your high horse,
preventing evolution,
accept that we are all equal and help making what we work for a reality!


Even though I have certain issues with a certain carebear attitude Indah sometimes shows,
I do not care about that at all when it comes to our common cause!

Nothing is special but the cause itself!

No, I won't.

If you behave like you're better,
I will show you that you're not!

Hiding your elitistic behaviour behind "I don't mean it that way" does not work,
because if it's truly the case you wouldn't behave that way in the first place!

Your "constructive criticism" was nothing short of belittling our efforts
and making you yourself look like you are overly space important.

And you don't even realise how elististic and belittling your words were!
Do you think I react that way out of nothing? That's certainly not the case!

If you really care about any of this, then stop saying and start spraying!

You believe you can make this more of a thing?

Prove it! Help us!

We need your help too!

.

It's so sad that all you care about is yourself ...
... your amusement ...
... your imaginary fame ...
... you you you ...

... just sad.



Well I guess at least you made clear that you will be the first to leech ...
... as soon as this reaches a level ...
... which allows your selfishness to put yourself into a bigger spotlight.


*kinks*

there is a middle ground between being a selfish ******* that uses people for fun, like you are now ...
... and being a serving slave as you were before.

maybe at some point you will mature enough to realise that.


good night.
