A piss-off? No, sorry, I HAVE to say something here, even if people don't like it....
Yes, in a perfect world, shows would be out on time, and everyone would be happy.
Guess what? The world isn't perfect. Olek, you are a PROFESSOR with a PhD. You're a HUSBAND. Those things come FIRST. If someone is in SCW and expects that you are still going to have as much time to devote to SCW as you did 15, 10, or even 5 years ago they are near certifiable. The fact that you still have SCW running at all is an incredible testament to your commitment and passion to what you have built here. Make no mistake everyone, this is Olek's world that he has built, and while we love our creations in his world the fact remains that NOBODY puts in the time, effort, love he does, and he does it FREE OF CHARGE to all of us, a fact that still blows my mind to this day.
Putting it in perspective for a minute, and using myself as an example, I am as most of you are aware now working on my Masters Degree at home, which will be done hopefully in a year. It is exhausting mentally to say the least. But that is it. Yes I am striving to continue my recovery from a stroke, but that for now has severely hampered my quest for job. The only thing I really must do is school. Yet I struggle to keep 1 character a float in SCW, ONE!
Olek is a professor, a husband, an author, AND he still comes up with compelling storylines for the entire company, which by the way still produces better shows than a certain multi-million dollar company who has teams of writers and staff members whose only objective is to produce shows that their audience will want to see. Not to mention when the Clarity does come out he will then have to deal with the normal crying and b*tching from people who didn't win! Sorry, but (and THIS is where I know some people are not going to like what I am going to say) really take a step back and comprehend for a few minutes just how self-entitled you sound if you are one of those people.
Look I get it people, I get it more than you know. When I created Kelsai, did I do so wanting to win? Of course I did. I won't lie to any of you. I want her to do what Simon Lyman couldn't, to win the SCW World Championship. It's a game, I am competitive, I spend a fair deal of time coming up with ideas for my girl, and I want that validation one day that comes with winning that title. But, I play knowing that I might never receive that validation, and I MUST be alright with that, or I shouldn't be playing the game, especially if I am not mature enough to respect Olek while doing it.
Yes we all work hard on our characters, but nobody works harder than Olek, who has to take all of our characters into perspective and then mold shows from all of our RPs. I apologize Olek, as I know this was not your intention for the original posts here. But when I see you basically apologizing to everyone with all that you do both in life and the game because a show is late? It just doesn't sit right with me. I will bet that there are other people who feel similar to me, and just haven't taken the time to say it.
Thank you Olek, for all that you do, if the show doesn't come till Thursday, Friday, or whenever your time permits that is fine by me. It's not like Clarity won't be one of the best shows to read in e-fedding anyway. Keep getting incredible shows on schedule as best you can, but take care of your wife, your career, and yourself first, because those are the things that matter the most.
Anyone who doesn't agree, I have have two words for you.......
Grow Up.
