That's a fair point. That said, my argument comes more from the side of thread purpose than intimidation. Personally, I don't mind seeing everyone chiming in because I like discussion; however, it eventually becomes difficult to tell which is the Crystalline response and which is a personal response and then even harder to know what the balance of Crystalline to non-Crystalline responses should be before people start feeling uneasy about responding, which would defeat the point of the thread. Since the thread's purpose is to receive outside community feedback, the restriction isn't about silencing the voices of Crystalline members, but rather about receiving more of what the thread intends to collect: non-member opinions. I hope that makes sense,
. I want this thread to do well because I think any organization willing to put itself out there for the sake of progress, community, and understanding deserves that chance.(07-18-2013, 01:59 PM)Eva Wrote: @C'io: Thank you for your feedback. As a result of your post and others we've decided that I'll communicate on behalf of the LS solely as to avoid any further confusion. Also Aysun asked me to help clear up one point from your last paragraph. Crystalline as a LS was actually an IC linkshell to begin with. Prior to ARR (and presently) it was sort of a subnetwork. In 1.0 I belonged to a number of guilds over a period of time and either left some for one reason or another or in most cases they disbanded and this started out just as an IC way to keep in touch with friends who wound up joining a bunch of different guilds. Its purpose back then was to be a secondary linkpearl and it didn't see much use, but it was conducted in-character and at the end of 1.0 when Everwatch disbanded most of us kind of migrated over to that for the final weeks of 1.0 since the world was ending and all. So I guess in 1.0 you could say Crystalline was "Eva's Friend Network", and in ARR we're looking to sort of morph that into an actual company as you noted in your post. I hope this helps explain our history a little bit better.
Oh, oops! I'm sorry for that misunderstanding. When it was explained to me that Crystalline began on FFXI, I assumed that "group of friends" was meant in the OOC sense, but I see that it was meant in the IC sense instead, hehe. I got it now!
