Sled:
Easy to see that my attempt at kidding around went somehow horribly wrong....
I know your job involves being at the center of seemingly endless carping, but honestly I think you need to lighten up. Nobody attacked you, and nobody was hunting for mistakes. The post was light hearted -- not a criticism, not pointing out some personality flaw.
And I have never complained about an FSO setup or rule...for me the FSO is completely about fun. In fact, even though I've participated in the last 11 FSO frames without missing a night I have absolutely completely NO idea who "won" any of them. And believe me I have far, far, far better things to do than to search the BBS for grammar errors by people I hardly know.
In short, your hair trigger defensiveness is a bit out of line, IMHO.
Sorry Simaril, I guess that did come across as pointing a finger at you. I was more trying to give everybody something to think about.
If I could rephrase...... I would say to
everybody.
Please put the same effort (or more) into participating in FSO as you do into other things in AH (like monitoring the BB). To be a quality participant in FSO, requires attention and effort. It is very frustrating dealing with people that show up for an event asking questions that have been clearly spelled out in the rules, objectives, and orders. This event requires
all of you to do some reading, on a weekly basis. Please do so. it will make your time (and the FSO teams) more enjoyable.
Again Simaril, my apologies. I know you were not attacking me.
