Hey guys, sorry, I didnt mean to make a big deal of this....I agree that if someone just signs up to get the print then thats absolutely wrong.

My point is what happens after that....what number of posts is sufficient ? 10...20 ???

The EO committee has done alot of work to get the ball rolling....I wholly accept their judgment, and know that this is the start of future great projects for all of us...

Everybody wins except the committee members you mean.  They are the ones that have to keep putting up with all of the nonsense and complaining.  Twenty pages on this thread already and half of it is bitching about the number of copies or who decides who gets the first print.  And I cant imagine how many PM's have been sent to committee members about the same thing.

I am all for everyone being able to get a print that wants one.  But enough is enough already!  Your points have been duly noted.  If the committee changes their mind and ups the count to 75 or 100, that is fine with me.  For some people it apparently isnt fine and they want it to be kept at 50.  I wont speculate as to why, they have their reasons.

Let the committee members do the job that they volunteered to do and take the whining and bickering someplace else.

This thread IS the place to have discussions, and every one should be entitled to express their concerns and views.

Yes to both.
You dont have to agree with my opinions, but this is indeed the place they are being voiced as it was meant to be.

Just dont read my posts, you will likely feel better......

Guys;

Post count is not a factor.  There are plenty of the people here who may not post a lot, and that is irrelevant with anything. If someone has a low post count, but they have been registered a long time, that is sufficient for me (especially since to get on the list they had to have been logging in reading messages pretty regularly).  Not everyone contributes to the community in the same way, and because they aren't a long winded post whore like me, Bclarkie or Killjoy doesn't mean they aren't "worthy".  

If you look over the list, I have identified exactly THREE who seemed to have ONLY signed up here with what appears to be in the hope of getting a print...and ALL three are on the wait list. Ok, guys, THREE names.  I don't think this is an issue, it's a bit of a straw man, so although we encourage the discussion as long as it's civil (this is really a silly issue to bump heads about), the issue of whether or not everyone "deserves" to be on the list is really a NON-issue, and it needs to be left out of the discussions because it really isn't relevant.

(I have also identified one name that seems to have taken pains to delibertly REMOVE himself from this community, and IMO should be bounced off the list because of this, but that's another issue I have to discuss with the committee).  

Guys, removing yourself from the list is very noble and all, but please don't do so unless it's something you WANT to do....you aren't proving anything to me or anyone else by doing so.  But we are all grownups here and if that is your wish ok.

Please keep it civil I'm happy we have had this much discussion without a flame war breaking out.  We read everything here and it's far better to let it out into the open than let it simmer and burn....honestly you aren't hurting our feelings, we are all adults.

I'm hoping that after some talk amongst ourselves I can get Chris or Paul or Allan to post on some specific points some of you have made.

Back to the discussion!

Dangit Mike! I was hoping to impress you. Now I'll have to do it in person at NTRPG Con. Have you ever seen a grown man in a Peter Pan costume?

Seriously, though, go ahead and remove me. If there's need of money to cover the minimum order at a later date, I'd be happy to pitch back in at that time. I doubt that will be an issue, though!

I'm hoping beyond all hope that they don't make them in my size.  

No sweat, bro, I was only kidding (irony isn't one of my strengths)!
