I don't see how I have hijacked this thread. And I always thought that the forum is for mutual exchange of opinions. I can try to find time and logically prove why the approach described by me is more useful for the campaign. And I also can easily find illogical things in answers on my above mentioned thoughts.
Other thing is that I also don't like the approach described by me. But, unfortunately, there are things that we like and find more logical, fair, and there are things that just work. Kleetz have chances to lose up to 30% of potential funding without regular updates and reveals of new designs of playing cards. IMHO, of course.
But it isn't my campaign, so I am calm about the chosen approach for it. It has started, so the approach isn't already important. Now the design and enough quantity of its fans are more important. The design is nice.
Good luck, Kleetz.
You're calling it your opinion, as in "In My Humble Opinion (IMHO)," yet you're quoting hard statistics from an unnamed source. When you do that, you're actually presenting what you believe to be facts. How, precisely, can he lose up to 30% of his funding by not using a tease campaign, and what's your information source?
Or are you trying to be contrary for the sake of being contrary?
It's very simple. There likely are some people out there who love being teased through a deck campaign, be it Kickstarter or an ad campaign from a privately-funded deck producer. I'm not one of them, and I know many others who are not - they've said as much in these boards. Those of us who feel this way consider this to be our opinion and personal preference. Do I have hard numbers? No. But as I'm not offering statistical facts, I don't really need hard numbers. There's no point in refuting an opinion - it's just an opinion.
You're free to offer your opinions here; even anecdotal observations are cool. But if you want to offer facts, back them up somehow. Otherwise, they're still just your opinion.
Now please - let's drop this or take it to PMs. Stay on-topic.
First of all, I’d like to find out how the second part of this
...You're free to offer your opinions here; even anecdotal observations are cool…
refers to this discussion? I have to think that this is your traditional quick switch to personal and attempt to offend any person having alternative opinion. You started from hijacking, then “
anecdotal observations” and “
stay on-topic”.
So, I am on-topic. This is an active Kickstarter project now and any discussion of its positioning, development or promotion is an integral part of the theme. When you post thousands of words (sometimes quite abstract) in every thread dedicated to different Kickstarter project it is a norm. When someone has an alternative opinion – it is off-topic.
...Or are you trying to be contrary for the sake of being contrary?
I don’t. But, unfortunately, you do. And this time you surpassed yourself. You invented non-existent fact in my message and then accused me of its groundlessness (factually of its absence). Have you ever heard any person ending to prove the Pythagorean theorem by words, “
IMHO, of course”?
Let me discover a new world for you. “…
Kleetz have chances to lose up to 30% of potential funding…” is just a value judgement – the same as your “…
I know many others who are not - they've said as much in these boards…” (in this particular thread, only you and Kleetz among 10.000 registered users).
I understand that such things as “IMHO”, “I assume…”, “I suspect…”, “I suppose…” are a big problem for you. You don’t think within such categories. But try sometimes to read what people write before to comment that. Don’t interfere in communications of other members giving your assessments of other’s messages which you don’t understand and which aren’t directed to you (this is already about some other threads).
Any patience has its limits. There is a small embryo of BM Pokerworld in you. And it is growing. I say this as a person who has been writing on this forum several years and remember your first posts here. Try to understand that this Earth doesn’t revolve around your “
I”. Otherwise, you will turn this forum into the place for your monologs.
P.S.Please, save your time and don’t post here hundreds of rude jokes/hints and strict offences. I won’t read them anyway. I really hope you will change something in your world outlook and will find your harmony with surrounding world.
