Idea for players stuck "in queue"
« Reply #15 on: December 10, 2006, 06:59:56 PM »
John,

I agree, and I think HT is on the right track.

If Dantoo is that unhappy, he should just leave and stop *****ing about it. Dont post a "suicide note" on the BBS, dont throw any bombs at HT, just stop paying and leave.

Of course, the percentage of people who threaten to quit and then actually follow through with that threat is pretty small I'd bet. These kind of hollow threats are not about the game or how HT runs it, its about "I'm going to stamp my feet and hold my breath until I get what I want!!".

No one has even tried the new setup yet, and they're already threatening to quit or offering to reinvent the wheel. Shouldn't you at least try the new setup first?

Um...er...1Boner?  We haven't decided who the "vocal minority" is yet.

I seem to recall we've had this discussion before :)

That doesn't negate the other things he said about a thread that started out constructive being hijacked by negativity.  What does it matter what label is given to the hijackers?

I agree Donzo, we should not call Dantoo names for hijacking this thread with negativity.
