You're right about that one. We'll do better in the future to coordinate the timing.
No we won't. It's always been a January release with a possible August Update. I was shooting for the first, but had to check up on the updates from New Zealand and Michigan for the ranking system and tournament software.
V-Set three had zero to do with any changes I made in the floor rules.
It's the 15th, because I overshot the first, and the end of the month is absolutely unacceptable looking IMO. I realize I am a volunteer and most people wouldn't care if I was a month late, but I hold myself to a certain standard.
I thought the SWMPGA was a group of players? Not to be a bitch but your sounding like your the be all end all in that statement.
Pretty much. Things don't work with multiple heads. When it comes to floor rules, it ends with me...big deal. That's not arrogance or me being a dick, it's simply the way things have to work. This thread is a fine example of that.
Every decision I make is backed by community input, research and support (though again, not 100%). I never make changes without running them by some of the SWMPGA. I validate every idea and piece of input and weigh them carefully, but yes in the end someone has to make a final decision.
It's because of all that, that I take this thread personally. Of course, people are entitled to their opinions and I respect that. It just seems that we have become so entitled to our opinions that we forget sometimes that we are trampling on someone else's work or opinions when we vehemently express them.
I realize you came (back) into the game a little late, but threads about these changes (asking for input) have been up both here and at gamers for months. They were meant to be places for input and playtests results; none of them went over a page in length. I welcome the help, when it's appropriate. I've never considered after the fact appropriate.
Again, realize you are the exception, most of the guys here on this thread complaining had ample opportunity. I know most of them will try to counter with "I didn't have time...players, etc etc." They say it every year, which once again, does nothing but trample on my effort. I teach, I raise 5 kids, I'll be fostering another. I'm actively involved with my church family and various veteran's organizations. I am the only member of this game in my community. I made it work, because (referencing paragraph one) it's my responsibility.
At least though, I know I have someone willing to help with this coming years playtests
