Optimism is todays best policy.

We probably won't get all the details today. Enough to whet our appetites. That's good enough for me right now, but we all must take a few moments to digest whatever is posted today and not freak out.

I'm all for fighting for what is right but even I plan on exercising caution and restraint while the docs really sink in.

To sum things up, I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but if we're not, please try to be as constructive as positive so we can make the end result as good as we can.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

Very good point. I remember the last Smuggler Revamp suggestion they offered us was met with ALOT of negativity. I don't blame the negative reactions (Glitterstim.... *shudder*) but let's try to keep things constructive.

I promised two weeks of 'restraint'...I just hope they don't give me too much 'material' to tempt me from my resolution.

I'm reserving judgement until after I see what Tiggs is posting...

But, as it stands right now, you guys will just have to forgive this old cynic for not falling all over himself praising Tiggs and the Devs for all of their hard work. Everything that's been posted today is just replay of stuff that's gone down in the past. We've been "In Concept" before...for well over a year. You want to impress me? Move us to "IN DEVELOPMENT", and then we'll have something to cheer about...

Regardless, this is the last post you'll see from me until something tangible materializes...

I reserve my praise for Tiggs since she seems to be the only one who still comes here. The rest of the team has a ways to go before I will go so far as to praise them.

Nothing wrong with cynicism, and I know it's nothing new from what's gone on in the past.

We all know I'm not one to hold back my criticism of their work, but I would rather things stay constructive while we really work out what the docs are saying.

Dreven; "But, as it stands right now, you guys will just have to forgive this old cynic for not falling all over himself praising Tiggs and the Devs for all of their hard work. "

You saw where my praise went and I stand by it. It's this community's commitment, the ongoing efforts of our correspondents AND, in this specific case, the Grandmaster of Persuasion that I give my praise to.
