Funny Email From a Publisher re. Reviews

Actually, I will tell you all who it is. But first, I'm going to give them a couple of days to clarify their position. I've sent them the URL to this thread.

i think this is a most enlightened position.

I for one would like to thank the publisher for the best laugh I've had in quite some time. The fact that they can be THAT unprofessional doesn't do much to reassure me of the future of d20 in the decline of WotC, but it does remind me all over again why I am glad I read and post here.

Knowing a company thinks and treats others like that is a good insight to how they also evaluate and market their products. Marketing yourself is the first step to a good product.

And I wouldn't buy this guy for a nickle, let alone one of their products. Now the question is, who is it so I don't waste money?

That was really crappy of that company to do. But lets make sure it was someone from the company and not just a pissed off freelancer or something...

I think we're safe there. The person in question is the contact point for review copies (amongst other things) and holds the title "Sales Manager".

I'll give this another day or so before making it a bit more public, just in case the company wishes to respond to my email.

Yeah, also remember - for many in the US, this is a three-day weekend. Monday is the observance of Columbus Day. You e-mailed them on Saturday? You may want to wait until close of business on Tuesday befoure you bring on the Holy Smite

Assuming it's an American company...

A similar note: it is the Thanksgiving long weekend in Canada, should the unfortunate party be situated here.

A non-government agency that gives its employees Columbus Day off? Do such beasts exist?

Coincidentally, it is also the Chung Yeung festival in Hong Kong. (People go up on mountain tops to light fires because there was a plague a long time ago and the only ones to survive were the ones who ran for the hills, or something like that).

The whole world is having a festival today, it seems.
