You know... just once, it would be nice to make a decision and be met with approval. Or even just silence. I'd take silence.

Badassium
silence is all we can wish for sometimes gjdkshgkjs
Mal
You guys always have something nice to say. 
Badassium
because youre great 
Badassium
but never has there ever been a decision made in the history of any decision ever where someone doesnt complain
Badassium
unfortunately OTL
Mal
Yeah, that's true.
TH'ORÉAL
I hate to say this but knowing the complaints is waaaay better than people stewing in silence. It still sucks but beats explosions.
TH'ORÉAL
unless it's the fun kind of explosions with C4 and shit. those a cool.
Mal
I don't usually get the complaints, though. I have to dig them out from under the wank in the hate comm. 
TH'ORÉAL
That's true.
Mal
By then, it's kind of like an explosion.
Badassium
its not exactly your responsibility to dig them out though, youve clearly made yourself open for communication and players who respect you and the game will use that
Badassium
the rest of them dont really even deserve to have a voice if theyre not going to be respectful
Badassium
when someone else creates something that you enjoy and you would like to be a part of it, you have to earn your opinion :[ imo
Mal
I dunno. I've been approaching this whole thing as something that's ultimately not mine. The original idea wasn't. I just picked it up when it was dropped.
Mal
I like opinions and suggestions on how to make things better.
Mal
But, I haven't gotten a lot of that since before the game started.
Mal
Once it started it was all, "OMG THOSE STUPID FUCKING RETARDED MODS, WHAT THE FUCK???"
Mal
It's disheartening.
Mal
Because I know some of it is people in the game.
Badassium
well youre the one who put the work into it, lets put it that way, thts still more than anyone else whos anoncom complaining
Badassium
and you did all you could to advertise the fact that you appreciate constructive feedback
Badassium
if theyre not listening, its not your fault! and yeah its disheartening i know the feeling
Badassium
but theyre being assholes? which pretty much completely discredits their opinions! if they wanted you to do something about it, or consider something, they would respect that youve asked for a message to the
Badassium
mod account rather than random shit on wankgate
Badassium
if theyre not going to respect that then screw it? theres literally nothing you can do about whiners so try not to let it get you down
Mal
Yeah, that's true. I mean, I think we've done our best to fix anything that's been brought to us.
TH'ORÉAL
...well if it helps I was one of the anons who contributed a great deal to the first round of the idea. I wasn't in a position to mod a game at the time. I'm glad someone else could take it or I would have.
Badassium
you have, its obvious you guys are trying really hard
Mal
The rare times we've said 'no' to anyone has been to preserve the game, not because we just didn't want to give them what they want.
Mal
Were you really? Any idea what happened to the original mod? I volunteered to help and then radio silence.
TH'ORÉAL
I am not really sure because I never found out who they were.
TH'ORÉAL
I have suspicions but no idea.
Badassium
well id expect anyone who cared about the game and the idea to take it up with the mods instead of on anoncomm really haha so everyone who contributed to the idea, i have high standards i guess!!!
Mal
Yeah, gotcha.
Badassium
honestly mal, if it were me in this situation id either stop going on the anoncomms or stop mentioning that i did (because curiosity is a bitch i know) so that the people on there know that their voices will
Badassium
not be heard from that outlet
TH'ORÉAL
I put forth a similar idea to it a couple months before that mod came around and shoved my ideas at them and hopes they'd stick.
Mal
Someone brought it to my attention that I was namedropped, so I couldn't stop myself from looking.
TH'ORÉAL
*and I
Badassium
leave it to all the bitching anons on there to group together and file a joint mod-complaint formally if they need to
Badassium
yeah i know how that is hahaha i dont contribute to anything on there but i lurk fairly often
Mal
I should stop, but I can't seem to.
Badassium
well at least then, stop advertising the fact that you do to everyone
Badassium
not telling you to
Badassium
just my advice
Badassium
itll cut them off, because right now everyone on there knows that you're watching
Mal
TH'ORÉAL
I didn't see it until it was almost fully formed. Then I wanted in, but it disappeared.
TH'ORÉAL
Pft. that name drop was lame
Badassium
so why email the mods? the mods will see the stuff theyre saying anyway since the mods are always on anoncomms
Mal
I always felt a little bad, like I was stealing the idea, but I tried for a month to get in touch with them.
Mal
It's true, though. I do have an ungodly amount of Dean accounts.
TH'ORÉAL
Yeah. I don't think I added a whole lot to the idea I just supported it because it was so fucking close to this cyberpunk sex game idea I had.
Mal
Ultimately, we decided to drop the cyberpunk part because it's not something either of us were familiar with and we didn't feel like we could fake it reliably.
TH'ORÉAL
lol yeah. but there is still this stupid advanced tech and I'm happy with that.
Mal
I love the VR stuff. I want to play with it some more soon.
TH'ORÉAL
Anyway, you're gonna shit no matter what. It's the curse of being a mod.
Mal
Yeah. I keep trying to remind myself of that. This is the first time I've modded anything this big that actually got wank attention.
Mal
I'm a little blown away by it all.
TH'ORÉAL
it's like herding cats.
Badassium
its like herding cats around a tall counter that has a bag of catnip on top of it but its too high for them to reach even if they jump but they keep trying and get more and more pissed as they keep
Badassium
smacking into the pillar but theyre kinda in this semi-high stupor anyway so they dont actually ever leave they just keep on being upset
Mal
That's a wonderful mental image.
Badassium
cats think theyre smart and entitled but they're pretty stupid...its a condition
TH'ORÉAL
I picture this 
6 Kitty Catnip Party Explodes!
Mal
Man, it's hard out there for stoned cats.
Badassium
they need their owner to fix their problems!!! so the owner removes the catnip and they stay angry because they wanted the catnip, so the owner gives them the catnip and then theyre angry because they have
Badassium
to share and its not the same kind of catnip that theyre used to and jeez
Badassium
cats just shoosh
Mal
I feel like I whine a lot, too, and I don't mean to. I don't want to be "that person".
Badassium
honestly as a mod of this game id say youre entitled to whine a little more
Mal
I think mods are supposed to whine less.
Badassium
yeah well no one ever does what theyre supposed to LMAO if you ever need to vent or whine and want someone to talk to just pp me haha i am always all ears
Mal
Thanks. Very much appreciated.
Badassium
np! i got more than my share of shit as a mod........i sympathize fdkjhgksd
