[Disclaimer]
 
Seeming as though we are unable to reply in the new topic from Alcar entitled "Distasteful Topics", a new thread has been started by me, in the hopes that it wont be branded as the aforesaid.

But now to the point. We understand that we're pumping out crappy topics, Alcar, but its because we havent had anything to stimulate ourselves with so, in turn, have had nothing to work with and have had to resort to using a larger portion of our brain to try and come up with something which seems new, but is actually the same thing we've talked about 70 times over. Mainly because OWI dont want anything to leak out which may make the game boring and predictable. Which is understandable considering what has happened beforehand, but has made some of the fans unavoidably lose interest, which may have been something they expected, but have had to risk for the sake of original entertainment value. If there was actually something to discuss, we'd most probably talk about it.

Dont take this a a personal statement towards yourself, though, you havent done anything wrong. Hell, no one has done anything wrong. We've just consciously walked into a limbo and are making the most of it while theres nothing to make do with.

Having said all this, Im just going to hope you or any of the other mods wont take drastic action. Hopefully you have got what Im trying to get across because I usually suck at this type of thing, and no hard feelings.....to anyone!

he's right, untill the next game, we have almost nothing new to talk about!

its a good point, but i dont know if this is true so dont sue me if im wrong, but the distasteful topics were coming from new members, wernt they?

*coughs* Drastic action... SOunds intimidating and fun! Muahahahahaha......

I don't think anyone is really pinpointed.... Its just a reminder kind of. Because a few pointless topics, such as Batteryclock's "MY ANUS IS BLEEDING" thing. ALthough its not terribly hopeless... FOr instance right now theres PA's new artic OW topic. Thats neat. And... uh... Some other stuff. Sometimes theres just to much crap. And idiots.

Well thanks Majic I really appreciate that. I try to keep things interesting in this time of waiting and hopeing for new things. But you can only do so much. You know? As some threads may seem not too interesting we are just going to have to bear with it until something new is upon us. And when that happens things will get better. Lets just hope soon. Its been a year now since MO came out and I think its time for new info. I think we all have been paitient enough that we are starting to see an uneasyness here in the forums. I mean we deserve some kind of new info. After all we've been paitient enough.

Most of them were. I think. But I also think that a few of the regulars contributed to the count too.

No one was pinpointed in there, true. Although it may have seemed like I was 'yelling' at Alcar, I wasnt really pinpointing him either.

Would be a welcome change from the direction we've been going lately.

My point exactly. I wasnt trying to brand OWI as the badguys, but we deserve some kind of sign that they havent forgotten us.
