Following this logic you defeat the founder's purpose. This is the time to try to influence the development process. As little as it might be. 'Cause by the time there's something to discuss you already have "NMS" on your plate and WP, GG if you know what I mean.

How do you even pronounce "ea"? 

Is "za" = "zuh"? or "zeh"?

Zeylows?

I read Zealos as Zee-luhs.

My name got approved!

=D

its Shade LSC96

(my internet name then the first letters of my name then the year i was born ) xD

i think its pretty good, and reminds me of the Aliens Planet name "LV-426"

 

My case exactly as well.

You guys didn't sign up as playtesters. You signed up as FOUNDERS to work on the game from conception to completion. Why ignore any and all development being done, just because there's nothing to play. Decisions are being made RIGHT NOW to shape and form the game. Guide them now, to play a kickass game later. That'd the Founder's Program. 

Cuorebrave, while I appreciate your attempt at telling me how to behave and live, I'd like to point out that what you mention is not exactly part of the agreement to be part of the SCO Founder's program.

Regrettably, I do not seem to have a copy handy of "Cuorebrave's guide on how to go about being the bestest SCO Founder." Just let me know when you start crowdfunding. I'll be sure to at least give it a cursory look. If it is good enough, maybe I'll fork 100$, like I did to become a Founder here.

</sarcasm>

Now, while I appreciate your enthusiasm, I would humbly submit for your appreciation the fact that other people might be different from you and from your vision.

I'll be much more interested in giving an enlightened opinion once I have something to sink my teeth into, instead of participating in discussions that are just so much cloud-shoveling.

I've posted a couple times on issues that were important to me, and that's how it is going to remain. If you don't like it, I suggest you try the hotline 1-800-RATSASS.

I also do not have a tendency to over-inflate my sense of self-importance, nor do I try to take myself for one of SD's designers.

Which is sometimes the impression I get that some users on this forum unconsciously take themselves for.

So while I appreciate many posts you make, Cuorebrave, I couldn't care less about how you feel about me and other founders that you are branding as inadequate. Oh, and one last note: if that post was meant to motivate other speakers, it's a failure. Don't tell people what not to do and what not to be. It generally annoys them.

^ anger issues much?

Nahhhhh.  I know you don't know me, but if you did, you'd know that this was delivered in a deadpan (if slightly ticked) tone of voice.  Anger? None. There is no reason to get angry at someone that I do not know nor care about... but I see how that could be read as being angry, though

Oh well. The written forum media is not prone to indicate the subtleties of intonation, and non-verbal attitude is, by definition, absent

Too bad sarcasm, irony and vexing attitude are my preferred forms of humor. Sorry if this came across as angry. It was meant to be derisive and assertive, with a slightly condescending attitude.

Edit: And add "lecturing" to the attitude. 

^ All this energy could've been spent on discussing the little of SCO that we've got.

Did you see someone submitted 404 as a planet name? I was hoping for an "ERROR NOT FOUND" planet, but 404 will do.

 

Once October 14 rolls around, we need to do another post that shames the worst names. 

Lol, Hunam_, how do I always wander into this shit? And then all of a sudden I'm waist-deep in a flame war?

Chill out, Tovanion! You've been relatively active on here for months... I was talking to the people who are all pissed they might or might not get a steam-key who have been founders for a year now, and never once bothered to offer any input. You've been on these forums pretty consistently, so I wasn't even TALKING to you. 

Besides, is it really up for debate that Founders, who get direct access to the developers on this forum, should want to contribute at all points in development? Stardock sure seems to think so......

Hmmm... I quoted a lurker saying I was in the same situation, that I'd log in every couple weeks and rarely offer a comment... and then you have:

(snipped)

And then, when I call you on this, we have: 

So this wasn't addressed to me or the guy I was quoting?  I guess I was completely mistaken, then. But you can see how this can be confusing, I hope? So I'll drop this topic and continue on my merry lurker way (who did not request a Steam Key, BTW).

2 pieces of advice:
1- If you *always* (emphasis mine) wander into "this shit", maybe this should give you a hint because you should look for what is common to all the "shit" you've been in?
2- Telling someone to calm down/chill out/take a breather is the surest way to inflame the situation further. Ask any CSR

And to chill out, I would have needed to be angry or something, which is not the case. 10-4.
 

Lol, okay buddy :) 

That was a rant alright...

^ LOL, Isn't that what forms are for?  :)

My daughter suggested that I name my planet "A PLANET" to troll all of you.
