Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cergorach" data-source="post: 1825050" data-attributes="member: 725">I would want to clarify something, because someone is taking something i said a bit out of context. I said i would 'retaliate' if people started to 'cripple' their OGC designation.There's a world of difference between designating everything as OGC and 'crippeling' your OGC designation. 'Crippled' OGC isn't clearly designated, that's why i abhore it. It's still entirely possible to not designate 100% OGC and still be clear in your designation.My statement is a deterent just as much as your statement is (Vigilance), i prefer more OGC, you prefer less. Why do you want less OGC, because your not willing to face the concequences of publishing under the OGL. The reason you write under the OGL is that you will sell a lot more, designating almost everything is also very easy and doesn't require a lot of thought.Now you might have noticed that all the OGC projects i mentioned are all for print products, there's a reason for that. If people want a digital version of the OGC, they can buy it for a few bucks (unless of course you make a mess of the OGC designation and then someone like me has to seperate the OGC from the PI) online. Because i know you guys have it though enough already, i try to 'spare' you as much as i find prudent.But as i've said in discussions before:- If you designate OGC poorly you go up on the list.- If you designate more OGC you go down on the list.So folks that designate 100% as OGC should be save for atleast a year from me. Folks that cripple their OGC designation (on purpose) are fairgame right away. If you feel that a year isn't enough to sell 95% of your books, then there's something wrong with your business model (for print publishers that is).</blockquote>
