I will make another attempt. Have you noticed that several of the yes votes are followed by comments that many yes votes are also criticizing PB? No need for rancor friend. Safe journeys.
I have read many Yes votes who acknowledge that while personally they are unhappy with the overall state of affairs (with various short to very long winded descriptions there of) they recognize the importance of GenCon and are voting yes out of a desire to see the product succeed.
That reads to me not as reluctant, but as making a choice based on weighing the facts in their own opinion (as not everyone will look at the same facts and come to the same opinion) and voting how the feel it is best to vote.
Are those the votes you are referring to as 'reluctant'?
Greetings and salutations. Yes, and thank you. Safe journeys.
Since most quite clearly state their intentions and reasoning, how did you come to the conclusion that they are reluctant?
Greetings and salutations. This is how I came to my conclusion.
(("Yes
Might as well sell at Gencon because your inept handling of this project along with public relations disaster after disaster this game needs all the help it can get. Sell a few hundred or thousand or whatever you want. Make backers wait for a second shipment form the factory. This thing is close to being dead on arrival."))
(("Yes.
But only because my vote is irrelevant. You've rigged the vote to produce the results that you want. I'm not upset by the delays. I'm not upset by the split of the product into two product waves. I'm not even upset that there is a possibility that some people could have their product before me. Had you asked for pure permission without counting a non-response as a yes vote, I would have said yes. I understand all of the benefits that will be gained by some sale of the product at GenCon. And quite honestly, you don't need our permission to do it. My sole problem is the way you've rigged the vote to achieve the results that you desire. It's the first time I've felt angry at this project."))
(("Yes.... Im already $&#% by palladium!"))
(("Yes
BUT
"NEVER A KICKSTARTER AGAIN FOR PALLADIUM"))
(("Yes. -
But I'm also wagging my finger in 'shame on you'. I am disappointed with the method in which this vote is conducted. I have lots of words that could be said, but others have likely said so either more eloquently or pointedly."))
(("Yes - And this is for Kevin. Sell at Gencon if you feel you must but just know, you are breaking your word. Honesty and integrity are still important and Kickstarter is predicated on making and *keeping* promises.
It boils down to your integrity or quick cash at Gencon. You pick.
I ultimately voted yes since it's your company and your game. I will enjoy my models when the come. Whether I actually trust you again for another Kickstarter or similar venture... well... it's hard to earn back trust once its gone."))
That's only a few I found in the update comments. Again I acknowledge that the yes votes outnumber the no votes. I just hope you can be open like I was with your point of view. Safe journeys.
