Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 8919466" data-attributes="member: 4348">From what I saw, their "nominations" had even LESS experience in the TTRPG and MtG spaces than Cocks...AND...less fervor for MtG specifically.Not that it turned out well recently anyways, but their "expertise" didn't actually strike me as all that "expert" in the matter.  If they actually WANTED those with expertise, there are those they could have chosen with FAR greater and better passion and expertise without even thinking about it.  The only one that even came close to "expertise" or "passion" was Jon Finkel. Those they wanted in were stool pigeons for themselves.Not only that, but the things they exaggerated ($200/share sounds GREAT...but that 5 year thing was only for a temporary while in the middle of 2017 and even then it didn't look anywhere close to $200.  There was a lot of smoke that they were trying to blow into my eyes there to try to make it sound all great and good...but someone blowing smoke into your face many times just irritates you rather than impresses you).  I think $200/Share sounds great, but did I actually see it as feasible without doing something even MORE drastic than what we saw done just this past few weeks...No...I did not.  You think what we saw over the past few weeks was massive...just you wait until you saw what Alta Fox had planned!  What we just saw was probably peanut change.Perhaps, they are relying on people's short memories of their attempted coup?Not all of us have forgotten.Sure, it wasn't as bad as what has happened over the past month, but that's only because they weren't allowed to do something far worse.Sure, they may not have done something worse, but looking at WHO they nominated (if you care so much about passion and expertise...why not Monte Cook, or Sean Reynolds, I'm sure for multiple six figures they'd be MORE than happy to be put in those positions...oh...that's right...those guys don't owe you any loyalty or anything...they're not your stool pigeons...give me a break about the entire...expertise thing.  Your bluff was called...for all his failings and mistakes Chris had a TON more experience and passion than your "nominations"They are relying on people not remembering those that they were wanting to put in charge and their qualifications (sure, decent business and market qualifications...but qualifications for an interest in MtG and D&D??).Just my two copper on that particular tweet.PS:  For those wanting the original proposal<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220217005358/en/Alta-Fox-Capital-Management-Nominates-Five-Highly-Qualified-and-Independent-Candidates-for-Election-to-Hasbro%E2%80%99s-Board-of-Directors" target="_blank">Remember this...</a>[MEDIA=youtube]r2QVjp4KEjU[/MEDIA]Once again, just my two copper.  And my two copper HAS been wrong before...but that's because it's just two copper...not two gold or even silver...</blockquote>
