Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jon Lane" data-source="post: 9399678" data-attributes="member: 6937008">I realise  this  is several weeks old now, but I wanted to add some recent activity.As some of you may know, EGG have just begun crowdfunding for their next product in the Everyday Heroes line - the Armory (I'm not going to link it here, because I don''t want to encourage traffic in that direction). Given Dave's claims of offering iconic weapons as NFTs in his pitch at Consensus (and since no other comments on the campaign page had brought it up yet), I wanted to see if there were plans for this book to be the start of that blockchain integration, and if so, how that squared with the pledge not to use blockchain technology in any way in the platform being set up by EGG.Sigfried - who I believe posted here several times on the other EGG thread - replied, and assured me that he and Dave had had clear conversations about the matter, and Dave had assured him that NFTs were not going to be involved in any way - ir was all just pdfs and print books. I asked how that fit with the pitchfest entry at Consensus, but got no reply as to that particular question.So... I decided to head on over to the EGG site, and ask directly; especially once I saw that Dave had unveiled the technology roadmap at the end of last month, and what was written there aligned completely with the second part of his pitch to the judges - a monthly subscription service, which granted access to a character creator and digital copies of the books online (access to the SRD would be free), along with several other membership benefits. What was lacking, though, was mention of the third part of Dave's pitch - the NFT marketplace. So, I decided to press him on that, and wrote a comment.This evening, I received an email reply from Dave himself! He told me he had received my message, and would be happy to continue the conversation directly with me, via email; or, I could join the Discord server and ask my questions in his AMA channel. I responded, and said I would love to continue the discussion; but felt the best place to do so would be in the comments section where I had started it, in the interests of openness and accountability.Imagine my surprise, however, when I returned to the EGG website, only to discover my comment had been removed! This did not seem in keeping with their stated Values of honesty or authenticity, and I wrote a new comment to say just that. I also made sure to reassure Dave that the missing comment, while gone from his site, still remained in a draft document I had created for safe-keeping, so I was free to repost it should the need arise.But this raises the question... I took the fight to the lion's den, as it were, because it looked as though no one else had thought to question this seeming duplicity from Dave Scott before me. But now, I'm left wondering - does he simply remove any mention of it from the website, to prevent any negative press being seen on his site?. I'm sure he'd state unequivocally that he is committed to the company's Mission Vision and Values Statement, and is happy to have these discussions, and would never seek to silence any customers with... difficult questions. But if his apparent lack of transparency regarding the plans for an NFT marketplace are anything to go by, I don't know whether I'd have much faith in any such claims...Anyone else try to post comments on EGG's journal entries, only to find them disappear?</blockquote>
