Um....I think..sometimes some players feel ignored and blacklisted. And...I TOTALLY understand that! I really do. If you think I never heard in REAL life what you have said to me in the forum or games.,,.,welll I assure you you are wrong . We reveal out true selves eventually.
And I know....you been hearing the same sht for 16 years. You've watched poor players put the work into it to become great players. You've seen noobs be great players straight away. You've seen good players struggle and nary say a word. And in fact become great friends, regardless of scores.
Such is life. Every human endeavor ever.
However...I do think a good leader, a good teacher...and good executive...has LIMITLESS patience and short memory. They have patience for not only a new-ish person, but a misguided one as well....even though they have seen them 10 million times. Losing patience with them, even though it's not their fault you've seen it a billion times, and sick and tired of it....is not that much different than judging them for their indiscretions and faults.
I been around a long time....many workplaces, many internet games (subspace....way before MOST of ya';ll!) ....and lots of family history problems.....although I do admit only married once and still... god bless HER! ...but I least expect it from moongamers, likely because I am such a latecomer! and no history! ; Judging, impatience, good ol boys network....sort of a jaded...no time for the stuff we actually did YEARS ago..,.,but we won't stand for it now. ///
And again, please know I understand it ALL...every single bit. A close knit family with outsiders pecking around at the windows. Sometimes you relate to these new peckers......sometimes not. Sometimes they just piss you off with their incessant naggings. Other times they are so cute.
I guess through all that mess....I am asking for patience, forgiveness, and some empathy for what other people and players see in their experience...not just yours.
