An Apology and a rant
As many of you might have heard, I was excused from the TeenVille Moderating staff late Friday night for my actions on a recent Staff Meeting. I joked around saying TeenVille would never be up, and was taking too long to be developed.. I am deeply sorry for my actions and my words, and I would like to present a personal apology to Cool Boy and Dyl. TeenVille is probably a really stressful project for these guys, and I know they don't like to hear negative comments about the game's progress. As I recently addressed on an earlier post here on the blog, many people are becoming impatient in TeenVille, as the beta testing periods are delayed often. I just have to say that you really need to think about that when you say that. Just think you are in charge of a virtual world hyped up by kids online. You have to code the game, design it, and polish it. It's not going to be some easy concept like stealing candy from a baby. You are going to have to work hard day in and day out to develop a product that is successful and appealing to the kid's point of view. We need to give CB and Dyl their time, as we don't want to start by playing TeenVille when it is full of bugs, and inconstant servers. We want a polished, patched up experience that has been worked on often to be presentable to the public. That's why I never should have said what I did tonight on Skype. I got the email from Dyl saying I was released. I honestly was shocked. I was poking around on the chat, and didn't mean to offend the creators of the game in any way. But I guess I did. I layed on my bed a little bit after, crying as I thought to myself what I did wrong. I told myself to put myself in Dyl's shoes. I guess being the creator of a soon to be popular game is stressful, and you never want to hear anything about progess put backs and negative feedback. That is why I deeply apologize to Cool Boy and Dyl, and I hope they will take my words and accept me back on the moderating team for a bright future in TeenVille.
