Longest running totalwar fansite

[Tomisama]

*once i picked up the pen, i couldnot put it down right away*

Our primary objective always needs to be to independently support Total War developers, distributers, and producers, in every way we can.

Without them, and what they do, we will have no reason to be here!

I said independently to clarify that we are and ORGanization of players, and not a COMmercial concern.

Our values to the manufactures are independent analytical and promotional support.

Analytical in the sense of organized feed back to them, and promotional in the sense of providing a user community that avidly supports what they are trying to do.

We can provide both an external looking glass, and a magnifying glass, for their products.

These are things that they cannot do for them selves.

One of the major pitfalls in the community (both inside and outside of the Org) is the immature negativist criticism syndrome.

This is complaining to get attention, which eventually backfires in that no one then pays any attention to you at all.

I believe we are somewhat stuck in this place.

Every time you here a complaint without a proposed solution, we all sink lower on the CA radar.

And worse yet, when someone has a legitimate concern and suggestion, to post a comment that denounces there efforts as useless because no one at CA is going to listen to you anyway, is tantamount to cutting off the limb that you are hanging on to.

Please do not do it!

It is not true, and when you say things like that you discourage anyone that could help us, from even coming here to try.

Thank you for your attention.

*puts away soap box for now*
