Beginning of September
BT (not you, not me, BT!) said in this discussion thread: “
I only get to a few a day“.
It's close to end of January right now, right?
So.. doing the math.. (and reduce it to just three a week):
20 weeks! 3 packages! 60 packages!!
Because of global shipping, long distance, a lot still on the way, bla bla, reduce it to 30!
30 deliveries since September! I think this is progress! And it's awesome!Sadly, still no new sign of any single delivery since! Of course, the receivers are so full of joy that he/ she didn't share that moment.
Seriously? I mean, s e r i o u s l y? We aren't 10 years old anymore, are we?
But my main point is the following.
Obviously, we are two groups of people:
“The believer”Still say the delay is maybe not cool but ok; BT will handle all and get things done.
Maybe this year – maybe in five – who knows. **
“The doubters”Had enough of all the “next week”-promises because - at least it seems the way – no actions followed.
Facts: The long and endless discussions won't strengthen or weaken each groups points.
Right now we go in circles and will continue going in circles the next five pages of discussions.
Only thing that changes is the tone. It will get more and more aggressive.
That, as ONE group with the same goal, doesn't help us at all.
Solution: The missing puzzle piece is BT.He is the only one who really knows what's going on.
He is the only one who really can weaken / strengthen arguments.
How? Simply by action!Right now I would say he's weakening it because he don't take a firm stand.
“The believers” can argue that he has a private life, a kid, things to take care of.
As a result he don't checks the forum every day.
I agree and disagree.
If he is able to he wants to clear this up and get things done.
If he's doing it – he should invest a very little time to share that progress with us.
Updates are important 'cause they lead to transparency.And hey, I want that he has a great life and enjoys every possible moment with his wife and kid and so.
And you know what, he IS sharing THAT on Facebook very frequently.
So he HAS time for taking pictures, sharing it with his fb-friends, and even adds a few sentences every time.
Is it so hard to use one of the channels – kickstarter board, kickstarter updates, his own forum – to communicate?
I already made a few constructive suggestions:
linkEasy to implement plus super effective.
And hey, if I would be BT, the next 3-10 packages would be for all of us of because: easiest way to “shut down” people is by making them happy :-)
So please, BT, I'm tired of the discussions here, any update for your believers or doubters would be heavily appreciated by both groups :-)
Big thanks in advance.** PS. Doing the math again; if he really sends out three packages a week how long will it take till all MUST HAVE received their items? I mean it's not 10,000 packages we're talking about, right? Wouldn't it be really odd AFTER THAT TIMEFRAME to still getting the same story told? ;-)
