Ah, good. Well, since Brenda can't seem to keep her dislike of me under control--or, perhaps she's just generally a hostile and miserable person since she appears to dislike several other members as well--I'll hang around until the demo is posted and then I'll catch those who are genuinely interested in the games on the Alchemy lists in a few days.
It's obvious that Brenda can't just "let it go" even after her public apology and unprofessional list conduct. I get a feeling that she felt sleighted having to do that with her "I wasn't the only one wrong; but that does not justify my action." predication on Friday and only did so to appease. Many would say that I've been unprofessional in either my responses and in conducting my business affairs where pre-ordering is concerned and I openly admit so. Even entering my sixth year into this, I'm still finding there's no good way to balance work, personal life, and writing accessible games on the side while keeping all happy. I've tried and I have failed. In learning so, Max will be the last game that's pre-orderable and, if titles are to be produced after its eventual release, they will be done so quietly and under lock and key. If they're late by my schedule or never ending up seeing the light of day, then they will have come and gone without ever being missed. In a way, since my heart truly isn't in this anymore, the bickering and prodding has actually been the only resolve to finish the games I've started except to fulfill the expectations and faith that others have had. They are the ones who have the right to moan, not the Brenda's and Will's of the community who apparently have nothing better to do than egg people on. I can't say for Will, but I know first-hand that Montezuma's Revenge is not Brenda's cup of tea. And, since her interaction with the community on-list is rather rude, hostile, and sarcastic, I doubt her intentions are advocating for the masses. It's easy to rattle off the names of those few who really spoil this list--people like Will, Shaun, and Brenda--and, I doubt many would disagree. Thankfully, Brenda doesn't usually offer much, but when she does it's usually to admonish, lash out because the post annoys her, or plays control freak. So, as of the release of the demo, I'm unsubscribing to this list. When it can find a more pleasant moderator in addition to Kevin, I'll consider giving it another shot. You can be sure information that's distributed via the Alchemy update list will find it's way on here by others that are doing the list a favor, but it'll always come last and second-hand in the future. It's just not worth the time debating what, when, how, did, didn't, and which day is the last day of the week and what didn't happen. What didn't happen is irrelevant. Today is today and it's forward we go. So, to the future and accessible gaming!

On January 12, 2006 you said the demo would be available for download since you were unable to package the game and demo as one release. Until that point, you were saying the game and demo were one package and it would be available for release, first at the end of the year (2004), then a couple of days were needed, then last week at the end of the week and now you're saying just the demo will be released some time today. Is this right? Yes, you have said there is a problem with the registration of the game but isn't that the same thing you said was the reason the game didn't ship in December 2003, yes I said 2003? to leave send a blank Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can contact the list owners/moderators by Emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] to go nomail send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] change "nomail" to "normal" to resume messages.
