RB doesn’t own the game anymore, we do. If we don’t keep going forward we will stagnate and die.
New decks keeps the community alive, even if we have fantasy in it.
Though my preference would be to add more small ships ( bring on Bathurst class).
RB doesn't own the game any more and WE don't either.
To do right by the game we should add to it. not alter it; personally can't see how anyone can say this Akagi is not Fantasy.
Nothing wrong with changing a units SA's to make it fit a need;
But changing its core values without it being a REFIT; no way and than call yourself the keeper of the game; Hypocrisy.
The problem here is a certain few want to make the game theirs without bothering with the input of the whole Forum,
if as you say its a community why aren't all involved; is it throw a few bones so the Team can have its explosive "Opening Salvo"
Keeping the community alive by none involvement seems strange to me; reading new unit remarks most would be happy with anything,
just a sign of apathy, laziness not caring what goes into the game.
Weeds was one i always felt, although i disagreed on some measured would keep it away from this.
Thats way I was Really Surprised to this this unit done as so.
You also overestimate the level of "control" I have, or want, over this project. I acknowledge I have a lot of influence, but I don't even have "out of bounds veto power" like I had for the first three decks. There are quite a few units that are in the decks that I would prefer not to have, and even more done in ways I wish were not done as they were. That just goes with the territory if you want to be inclusive.
And speaking of inclusive, do you really believe the decks could have been developed with the entire board participating? I think we never would have finished even the first deck. We would have argued and insulted each other until we had no more members long before we could have finished it IMO. It would certainly have taken someone with far more patience than I have to lead it.
Sorry, but I do not believe in committees - certainly not large ones - to get real work done. And I viewed these card projects as having responsibility for making real, commercial quality decks. We may not have hit all the goals, but anything less would have foundered a long time ago IMO.
The Opening Salvoes are pure marketing. And without good marketing you also have little chance of creating interest and sales. There's more to marketing than just "promotion" (only one of the 4 "Ps" of marketing), but it is a very important aspect of it.
