Online Worlds > VFK Upcoming Events and New Items
The Man From Snowy River Australian Founder's Membership ~ Announced
awesomepatty-cake:
I bought the first founders package thinking that I will see what happens with the game and decide whether I would want to keep paying. I was shocked when they came out with another already. It has thrown a wrench into my plan. LOL As of today I will not be buying the new package to add months onto my account but I may change my mind tomorrow who knows. I’m not sure where the idea that it is being aimed at the Australian market came from that doesn’t make sense to me with the time zone. Perhaps because it says Australian Founders people have interpreted wrong, I did see someone asking if you had to be from Australia to get it. Bug the statement you made “What does VFK have to do before people wake up and smell the coffee…” If you want to complain about the money or the game that is fine you have your opinion and I have mine, but I do take offense to your statement because it is aimed at the people paying/playing. I have never ridiculed my friends for not playing it is their choice but I don’t want to be ridiculed by them or anyone else for playing. It really is a very condescending statement to make.

Yes I meant "we" as in people who decided to join in general. As not all people on this board did. But how awesome was it to have people who did not take the package respect the decision and make no big deal of it. And visa vera the ones that got it not flaunt it.
I think where I was coming from is that I understand your concerns but from reading this post I might have missed it but I do not think one person here said we need to join this because they need more money. People were actually giving the exact opposite view. No way until I get what you first promised!!
It is probably happening on other boards and that is why I was confused. So I was kinda wondering who needed to wake up and smell the coffee. Because so far not one person has been impressed with the lastest "Founders Package".
As far as I can tell this is not a scam. But people who have no clue what they are doing, no clue on how to really program a difficult game this big. Under estimated time by months not days. There is a reason places like Wizards was not even in first beta for something like 3 years. And we heard how long Elf island has been the drawing board.
To keep people interested they have put out grand ideas.
Unfortunately those grand ideas are just that. After so many ideas that are still not coming people will leave in droves. I give it to the opening of Elf Island if it is a good as it looks. However, as we have seen the ideas might be great but still not be what people are looking for :(

Sorry.. MOD time.
Both Adventure and I have been following this thread today. I almost called two people out, to say "chill, it's only a game". Instead, Adventure made a very nicely stated post addressing both sides.
That appears to not have resolved the issue as we are now receiving reports. :( Which means you now have to put up with me.. and maybe Decoy, as he shall be made aware of this.
First, I do not believe Bug's "people should wake up and smell the coffee" was directed specifically at anyone here on noBS, but more a general comment to suggest she is surprised by how many are still hanging in there.. which is her opinion to voice.
Second, as Adventure pointed out, Belle did not mean "we" as in noBS, but in general, also her opinion to post.
HOWEVER, Decoy's rules include "Play nice." They also include a provision for staff to look into issues that have been reported. As even Adventure and I "guess" at what was meant by these comments.. it only further shows that without specifics, anything is open to interpretation.
So.. as of this time.. I will NOT lock the thread.. BUT, from here out, do not leave comments, such as those left by Bug or Belle mentioned above, using generalities - REGARDING PEOPLE. They are open to interpretation, causing some to be hurt or offended. BE SPECIFIC when talking about "people". Future posts with generalities like, but not limited to "we" "us" "people" that can be interpreted more than one way, either seen by Adventure, myself or reported to us.. shall be removed from this topic, and passed to Decoy for potential penalties.
Play nice.. Please! (Choosing Preview, before Post, and reading it, may help too.)

Hi,
Well I certainly did not intend to cause such an uproar I am sorry. I was not taking pop shots at anyone. All I have to do is be in the game 15 minutes and that is the "people" I am referring to. If I offended you I am sorry that was not what I was trying to do.
As for Belle she is a great friend :waveh: We agree on many things and disagree on many things- that is the way of life. I have met her and she is the kindest person and even though it is not my place to "worry" about her I do because she is my friend once again sorry if that upsets anyone.
Adventure and Duck sorry this has made more work for you :(
I will not post anymore since it is upsetting people. I am just not feeling comfortable. Good luck to all of you. I hope VFK can make it as I am truley hoping they do.

Bug, you and I have had this discussion several times about you not posting here anymore. That IS NOT what is being asked of you, nor what any of us want to have happen. You are a valued member, and provide, like in this case with VFK, a needed "devil's advocate" position, to spur people to think.
What is being asked, is do not use a generality. You know how you just said right in this post, that it is the people in the VFK game that cause you to say that "coffee" remark. SAY THAT when you speak of people, and noone would have mistaken your comment for being about them personally. Whether right or wrong that they did take it personally, it was so easy to have been avoided!
I hope you will please reconsider not posting here girl friend :hug:
