Hey guys,
I can't help but feel like we are making some real headway here. Plaxor's original ambitious project has been dissected and is going ahead at a good clip as we tackle issues one at a time through community voting. Which is good.
But I feel like there is a bit of a problem: everyone in the community can vote, but this project is not for the entire community. It is for those in the community who want to use it, who want to share it and who want to develop it to improve the game.
I get that not everyone wants the same things from this project, but one thing is certain: this is not theoretical and it is radical. There is no way around that. Traditional minded players do not accept the Faq 2010, and are even less inclined to accept this project as it is even less official then that hallowed document. This document is intended to improve the game in the ways that acting players want to, to make it both more balanced, enjoyable and refined.
I can't help but feel that not everyone that votes or voices an opinion actually wants this project to come to fruition or does not care because they have no intent of ever using it. It seems strange to me then that these people have equal voice in it because they skew votes: if for example everyone who intended to use BFG:R wanted the desolator removed (obviously not the case), and the vote ended up tied because of people who don't really care for the project it would be unfair to the players intent on actually playing it to have their rules modified by people that will be un-involved in actual play.
So basically, is there anyone working on this other than me and afterimagedan who actually intend to use the BFG:R project as a whole?
