I guess Peter and Chunga did not read any of my posts

I refer you gentlemen to the following posts I have made just on this thread:
3/30 @ 9:18 & 22:48
4/3 @ 6:24 & 16:11
4/4 @ 18:46

And there was one post that specifically answers Chunga's question about how it makes the game better, but I couldn't find it on this board (must be on a different one), so I'll paraphrase what I said in it...

Newer players can't easily (or cheaply) get the minis for the unseen so most do not use them. And by not using them they are missing on a huge part of this game.

As I said on a previous post on this thread I'd play this game with coins as mechs if I had to (and not to be funny, but I have, and at work I might add ), but many others are a lot more picky about what minis they use.

I have no issue with Randall having made the decision--it was his to make. What at issue for me is the presumption that he made to arrive at his decision. And as I stated, to even suggest that the decision be revisited one must make a case his presumption was wrong.

I freely admit when I started this my only goal was to get a satisfactory answer as to why they weren't redrawn. Now that I've received an answer my goal is to get the decision.

I know that several have grabbed this issue as of late to further there bashing of people and that's too bad I think. In fact, it's going to make my quest that much more difficult.

I don't care if TPTB put "Warhammer" on the front of any miniature they've created; I care that a miniture representing the Warhammer be released to prod younger players that don't use the unseen because there aren't minis easily available to use them.

And if you look on the CBT board there is someone saying that are running an event (which they say will be a Commando event once they submit the required info to Clutch) which requires a mini that the player uses to accurately represents the mech they plan to use. I guess if a newbie wishes to play in that he probably won't be playing an unseen, will s/he?

And in my own personal opinion I'd wish that some of the people who've jumped on this bandwagon would jump off of it. Because to be blunt they're making it nigh impossible to make this effort credible.

What I want is for the egos and such of some memebers of the BT community to go away and for those members to stop thinking they know all there is to know when they are nothing more then volunteers.

What I want is for the idea of the Unseen being return to be taken serioulsy and for the companies to listen to us about this issue.

And YOU, Peter don't have a board, FANPRO has a board.

Never claimed to be an employee of FanPro. You made that assertation. However, I also never claimed to be a volunteer.

Well, with the exception of the statements of fact (the decision has been rendered, people just didn't like it), you'll notice that we've been discussing our opinions on the matter with Chihawk.

You're right. Being asked to head up the administration staff for the message board, however, does put me in a position that's shared by about a dozen others. In a way, that's special.

Who said it did?

You're the only person who is making that assumption. Chunga and I have not claimed to be employees of FanPro, mainly because we're not.

The CBT Message Board is mine in the same manner as the network at the corporation I work at is mine. The figurative "I work to maintain it so I can say with pride that I am an administrator" versus the literal "I own the server, connection and license for the board software." Not that the first two matter, actually, for the entire site is hosted from a privately-held server.
