[QUOTE="Admiral Caine, post: 4612743, member: 60438"] This post really frustrates me because I don't understand the spirit or intent with which it is written. That is, I don't understand if you're trying to say that I'm making untruthful statements, or it just brings you some satisfaction to try to be an authority on a topic. I'll assume the best of motives, and that you're just trying to be helpful. You left off one sentence when you quoted Wolfgang, let me add it back in there for context. The emphasis is mine on the omitted sentence. I note that you support 3.5, which makes that a provocative sentence to omit. I myself am Edition Neutral. In any case, Alzruis, it is too early to call the race. On Friday night, 4E was ahead. Saturday it was a tie, then later this Saturday 3.5 pulled ahead, but 4E is just behind. On Sunday 3.5 is still ahead, but it's not a blow out as evidence to the quote above, where I put the sentence you omitted back in. Perhaps I'm just biased but I don't see where I've said anything radically inaccurate. Good God, I hope you don't expect me to cross-correlate every single update he's given with the Kobold Quarterly forums along with a link and date/time stamp, and proofread every quote for cherry-picking just so I can not be nitpicked to death. Can we not extend each other some grace? I believe you when your e-mail did say it was almost at 40%, but yesterday afternoon Wolfgang also posted this publicly. I felt childish doing that, but for pity's sake I hope we can the stop this oneupmanship and just talk about the Project instead? It is a competition. It has to be, because Wolfgang can't afford to alienate either consumer base. Unfortunately, part of the consumer base will be alienated no matter what he does- that's an unfortunate fact of life. However, by allowing customers to make the decision with their donations, he is allowing 'natural selection' to make the determination. Rather than making it himself. It removes that personal aspect of "Wolfgang refused to support the Edition that I like best." Now he can legitimately point to the fact that he wrote for the edition that was financially supported. And nobody in their right mind can argue with that, especially in this economy. So yeah- it's a competition. But we each decide whether that competition is going to be [I]personal[/I]. I voted for 4E, but I am staying on board as a Major Patron if it is a 3.5 Project. For me, it's not personal, and I can back that up with one hundred and fifty dollars. [/QUOTE]
