I actually didn’t wish to prolong fiasco surrounding it.
But when some people make accusations without understanding, it becomes an obligation to give more clarity.
I’m just pasting what is written in that thread:
Kindly imbibe the intent, don’t skim through like many did in the group.
——————————
Now it’s time to get counts for NFT.
I believe equity is just than equality.
Those who put more effort should only be allowed to get more copies.
Only @KetherTour , @Jonathan , @shadowhunter176 should get more than one copy.
I’m not undermining others participation but highlighting greater efforts put in by these three people when compared to the rest.
If anyone of you feel that you deserve more than one copy, then present your point here.
It will not be evaluated based on number of other persons who support you but by your merit of participation and contribution.
so, max limit is fixed at one for rest of the people, unless one feels that they deserve more. Present your case. You will not be judged by me., but by your own conscience.
I have seen in other groups people sharing purchase links and deserving people missing out their copies. No one can teach honesty, integrity and being just. I’m aware of loopholes, practical difficulties in my plan. I feel I gotta do justice for those who had big role in this NFT creation.
If someone feels this as stupid / unjust/ autocratic decision , you are most welcome to throw stones at me. But that will not make me change my plan .
—————————————————————-
So my explanation for the above,
First thing first, it was an act of appreciation for hardwork, time, effort put in by those people who worked on the script.
It was not an act to undermine others.
- nowhere we limited to one. It was a base, We just asked the say why you deserve if you plan to buy more.
It was done with an intention that, if you buy more copies, let others people also be okay with it. So you have opportunity to explain yourself and others to appreciate your effort.
Some people hardly put in much ideas, but when it comes to copies, they buy in bulk ( now I feel, I shouldn’t have really bothered and be too moralistic)
I clearly mentioned that I’m not going to decide how many copies you get. Iam not so dumb to do something that I have no power.
I clearly mentioned that I’m aware of practical difficulties. It was a plan. An idea. Not a decree.
And when some people in my project asked me act like a leader, I politely told them , that I’m a facilitator than a leader.
@Vesparda was right, this idea was introduced at the last moment. Because there was no need to do something like this at beforehand.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Only at the very end, after seeing what was happening in other projects, I came up with such a proposal.
@Vesparda , how would you feel, if you were been so enthusiastic throughout the project creation, gave active participation, but at the moment of purchase, you miss out because of someone not part of project getting access to purchase link and buy. ? No one put a limit for copies in that project. You could have said 100 , and purchased all. But yet, sneak buy and deny opportunity for the unlucky one.
This plan was not out of anxiety seeping in from other project, but out of compassion and that no one deserving should miss out their copy.
Some people just don’t try to understand the intention behind it.
They act like naughty school kids who also brings parent to support their erring.
Sammy is yet to become a superhuman / omnipresent being.
So most things can be sorted out within community.
Even if you bring him at bursting moments, he would be forced to give opinions before grasping the entire situation.
I believe, ours is the first community project to have two threads, just because we couldn’t add more than 30 people in a group.
Invitation was open throughout. We never said we are done with people.
With two threads, People who did compilation of script had to do double work. It is a new experience bound with opportunities to learn by mistakes made.
My kind request to all if you are planning to be part of project or start one:
-
Participate.
It a community project.
It doesn’t matter how much ideas you put, just your likes and heart would boost our team spirit. -
As @SammyG said, quality participation should be recognised. So not judge by how many replies they made in thread. One idea could elavate the project to whole new level.
-
Don’t look for opportunity to criticise people who put effort to script. Compiling ideas is a time consuming task. Everyone have life outside forum. So appreciate if not atleast give constructive suggestions but not be looking whom to blame.
-
For group leaders, there will be some people who will be inactive for few days, but when they come back, they read all posts , give suggestions. So wait for people to find time to contribute.
-
Also, there will be some just for NFT, have a namesake participation. Personally, I tend to ignore , but also appreciate because they don’t fall in next category people
-
The next category people: there will be some to play spoilsport. After all, we are part of this world, so can expect all dramas to unfold.
The whole issue was blown out of proportion. Just not worth it.
