I never said anything about marketing.

But since I know that some of us can't read..or at least have a hard time reading anything that is longer then a paragraph long, I'll make it easy you.

You say that you didn't say anything about marketing, but you agreed with Welsh, so you did, really.

That has no bearing on this thread.

BTW - Jesus couldn't care less about this thread.

I personally was happy that Neal drew the cards, because it meant alot to him at the time that Tom would print it up. I even bought the Rush T-shirt...which was actually pretty cool.

I wish I knew where my Rush shirt was; that thing was cool.

Wow this is the 'I've had a bad week/day/month/whatever thread where I take out my frustrations'.....Why did I not find this thread two weeks ago when work was being hell?

Either that or this is why communicating online will never be able to truly replace speaking face to face with people. You can't tell mannerisms, inflections, moods, via online 'talk' because you can't hear or see how the other person is saying something, (that is why these were made to try and make up for that but still aren't as good). I think alot of people have taken things too far here and everyone needs to give everyone else a and make nice.

And if this is the 'I'm just frustrated and want to vent thread' could we please rename it to that? Others would probably like to participate and vent as well.

Just as an FYI, on the Rush card descriptions, I have updated it from "...created by Neal Nelson." to "created and drawn by promoter Neal Nelson." Its more than fair to call out that the card was not drawn by a regular game artist.

I personally was happy that Neal drew the cards, because it meant alot to him at the time that Tom would print it up. I even bought the Rush T-shirt...which was actually pretty cool.

However, I have seen him since he was in middle school at G-cons and many others haven't, so I can see how some could be bummed about getting a card with art that isn't at the consistent level of many other FG products without knowing the kid personally. Although I think that goes to show just how well the art done by guys like Werner and Darrel truly is.

Actually, THIS guy gets it.

Sorry If I can't relate.

Next time, try just taking this attitude from the beginning.

There are some damn wieners on this thread.

1) Long, haughty posts suck. State your business.

2) I never looked at Rush's artwork and thought "Wow this sucks." I could only hope to do so well if I tried to draw a character, and Neal was probably stoked Tom wanted to use his art. I think it's part of the charm of the card. I don't think it's wrong to want a 'better' drawing from Werner, but I don't understand personally why it is necessary.

3)

"It's only $12 dude, just buy it. You have to, and you can't complain because they're OFFICIAL which means they are automatically worth what you paid, in fact ten times as much, and you are lucky to have been allowed to buy them and in fact they are 100 x better than any bootleg, and I think 2 +3 finishers was a reasonable stat level for Vanity coming out of retirement and I always have".

I don't know what it's like to be the kid on the playground that gets picked last for kickball, but this sounds like a post from somebody who does all too well.

9/10 bootlegs are done poorly. This is coming from someone who does more bootlegs than just about anyone. Cards are made with no concept of balance and they rarely fit the rules of card creation. These are facts. Tom's cards are almost always better. I'm only drinking the Kool-Aid because it tastes better than anything else.

I guess the size of this post comes in under the allowed post length. Funny, 7 pages of constant comments sound like a lot of yapping to me. Apparently, when you put it all together under one, that makes it wrong, haughty, 'like a woman'.

Attention span, anyone?

Yeah...I like the part where he says "I don't think it's wrong to want a 'better' drawing from Werner".

So what changed your mind?

I didn't change my mind. I agree with this part of the post.

Jefft - doesn't get it.

Well...in the REAL world...simply not understanding something is different than then assuming they are insensitive jerks and start ripping them.

...and when you start whining about post length and not the actual point...

Man, trying to read anything more than the comics in the newspaper must be tough for some people. I'd advise maybe some remedial reading comprehension courses.

Point? Or should we just start throwing silly insults now, Swarmy?

DMK 2 before you critcize people for their reading skills. Check to make sure your post makes sense.
