Countdown-timer at Green Ronin...? What's it all about?

[Treebore]

I doubt Joseph gives a rats ass what I think . And I didn't compare GG to GR. I was asked if any company had done those things, and I answered. I have no idea about their sales or size. But I am sure you can educate me on these things.

Cheers

Actually Joe is like GR and Paizo when it comes to what their customers think, they want to know, especially on a "collectively" level, but you can't determine what they think collectively until you hear what they say as individuals.

As far as writing up business plans, starting a business, and owning/running one for 7 years, and shutting down with lots of hard assets, yes, I can educate you. I am definitely the exception in the business world, a small business success. I am working on doing it again, too.

That is a very logical, sensible, well reasoned, and rational point.

This, however, is the internet. I'm therefore going to ignore it utterly and completely.

Sigged!

This will be my last regarding this subject, out of fear of side-tracking it.

I find your arrogance astounding and your powers of assumption weak. First of all, while I am sure Joseph wants to know what his customers think about his products and the like, I am quite sure he doesn't care if they think GG is smaller/bigger/as big as GR or Paizo. As far as the education go, I was referring to knowledge of their size and sales. Nothing else.

Have a nice day.

How about TORG?

I'm sure Joe is flattered you think his business is comparable to GR.


Goodman does have an great business plan that breaks many conventions of thought, is has a solid degree of success because of it, but Goodman Games is till no Green Ronin, and has no where near the same business concerns GR has to consider when it comes to the GSL and 4E. Hence, Goodmans ability to do it, when GR doesn't. A comparison of GR and Paizo is much more appropriate, but there are still a couple of magnitudes of difference between even these two, but they have far more in common with regards to doing the GSL or not, and they made similar decisions because of these similarities.

Plus I think both Paizo and GR, and Goodman for that matter, are successful business' because they are capable of removing personal feelings from their decision making when its time to make their decisions. Besides, it is a no brainer to not have done the GSL and 4E when you look at the assets GR has. Same is now obviously true of Paizo, who has also done several "outside the box" business decisions. Staying 3E being one of the first, and giving away their Alpha and Beta Rules PDF's for free being more examples. There were, and still are, plenty of people thinking their decisions are crazy, but they still seem to be pretty darn successful because of their insane decisions.

Paizo will know for sure come August of 2010 just how insane, or brilliant, they were. Its certainly seeming brilliant right now.

Hey, awesome. Impressive.

So, hey, that countdown timer, what do you think THAT'S all about?

I don't know, we'll find out when the timer runs out. I think several good possibilities have been proposed, but I don't think any of them have been conclusively proven. 2 very strong contenders though, I hope its DC comics, but I think its more likely to be LotRings.

I look forward to finding out, whatever it is.

Now that would be cool. Assuming they get it done right.

Nice example of an appeal to authority falacy!
