Re: White wolfs letter to the (our) organisation (The Camarilla)
Bad.
Basically they seem to be saying "We can't get our way so we're taking our ball with us"
* They have no experience of running the Cam
* They want the membership list to do with what they will, hello? Data protection act?
* A lot of people will be very pissed off with this and possibly quit, especially the BoD who've put a lot in to only have WW say "sorry, sod off"
* They want to run it how they want, not how the members want - not good
* "We don't charge you for the license" well thats because we're not going to pay you to play your games we've already bought you loonies
* They don't understand the commitment the society has, we don't get paid for doing this! People can't get paid for doing this, it doesn't work as a business and they're treating it like one; people do this for free!
* "The board members don't trust WW"? well certainly not, you've just proven that by saying you sack them all, can they even do they WE run the organisation not WW; that is a dictatorship - this is OUR fan club for YOUR games, yes we our YOUR official game but WE do the work dammit.
I say we take their "official game" sticker and ram it up their [censored] then change the name of the organisation (as we were doing anyway) change documents as we need to conform to their trademark laws (which meant we couldn't duplicate published material anyway!) and carry on as the cam mk.2, and see what they say then.
Stuff 'em
But take ten seconds...
Thats better
Knee jerk reaction; if the games keep going - what the hell... See above post I stole from JA, much more sensibly written than my rant, for shame.

no subject
Date: 2002-01-16 04:06 am (UTC)The membership list thing will apply to the US only, anyway (DPA in the UK).
As I said on UKG last night, do we need WW? They can't prevent us from running games and the name will change, anyway.
I don't think this will change anything in the way the chronicle and individual games are run.
And, if they give the 20% discount to everybody and extend existing memberships to 2004, cool.
But let's wait and see.
