[QUOTE="Rasyr, post: 2388521, member: 2855"] Actually, not. My perception of Dancey's motivations come from watching his past actions and statements, nothing more. Such as his attempting to revise the Origins Awards so that if would be severely biased towards large companies (i.e. WotC, since it is the largest) by his wanting to include that one of the criteria for selecting products to go on the ballot be the number of units sold. And that this would bypass the panel of judges who are performing much the same task as the ENnies judges are doing. I also have access to information and emails (legal access mind you, not like the former Treasurer of GAMA who was, IMO illegally, spying on the BoD before he got elected) from a number of sources which corroborate this. Although, I no longer have access to his fixgama website since he locked it down. As to the connection I speculated about between Dancey and Mearls, that comes from seeing Dancey post and support what Mearls is saying, when Mearls isn't doing so himself, and from noting that what Mearls is saying is pretty doggone close to Dancey's viewpoints. Too close in some instances.... Well, in any case, believe what you want about this, but personally, if Dancey told me that it was daytime, I would look out a window.... [/QUOTE]
