#56356, "I'm not sure how you expect me to respond to this?"
Edited on Tue 26-Aug-14 04:27 AM

It's unsettling that you would even entertain that I/we would distill a member of the community down to "lab rat" status. Nobody is twisting your arm to play the game. You don't owe us your time, it is volunteered if you believe that CF is worth playing.
Secondly, while this is signed "The CF Staff", this is largely a personal matter having invested many hours of my own time into attracting existing MUD players to CF and having see a handful of them be driven off over spats on newbie (of all things.)
I don't particularly like marketing. I don't particularly like marketers in a professional capacity. I do think CF needs more players so I volunteered some time as a player when Big Z left to try and help the staff out. I do love this community and the fact that this game has existed, completely free, for over two decades.
I am not a "PR guy", or the local Soviet propaganda officer, this is me personally attempting to reach out to the community to ask for support moving forward. There is more marketing stuff planned, time permitting, but why bother blowing through a few hundred hours getting those plans into place if the community is intent on self-destruction, or if several players want to sabotage it all?
