That is a very interesting little image you have there. Why did you make it?
What is the message you are trying to send?
|
In my role as art critic I would say that the message here is that the NDA makes
the Ambassadors silent leading to upset in the community. Either that or it’s a
subtle statement on the war in Iraq and the state of African democracy.

On a broader note, I have heard a lot about mistrust between Ambassadors and
non-Ambassadors, but I don’t exactly understand why. Within the Castle and
Space communities there is some envy about who has an NDA and who doesn’t,
but I don’t see any mistrust at all. On the opposite point of view, I feel
that there is a lot of trust that we will accurately communicate the
communities concerns to TLG and fight to get what the community wants.

You could probably summarise this in a new variant of the Ambassadors logo.
Perhaps with a cackling Ambassador and two green (with envy) figs. That would be
cool.
| |
So, the question is, if you mistrust the Ambassadors or the Ambassador
community: Why? What is it that you think Ambassadors aren’t doing or aren’t
doing enough of? What would you like to see done differently?

I would like to see some more humour from the Ambassadors. Humour is a good
thing and I like it very much. I’d like to see the logo replaced by an
Ambassador with a big smile and two laughing figs.

I dont have good enough drawring skillz to do anything as technical as what he
made.
But I am funny all the time Tim! And you better know it!!
WORD!
As for the other Ambassadors... well, some of them can’t be funny because well,
they just can’t. Its a genetic malformity that has crippled them from youth.
And by “other Ambassadors”, I basically mean Mark Sandlin and Dan Rubin. Those
guys just try so hard to be funny and just never pull it off. Its sad really.
More deserving of your pity than your paranoid envious mistrust.

Its true. One thing that I’ve noticed just in general community trends is that
people are active in the communities they love. Some are Train, some are
classic-space,classic-castle, classic-clickits!!! Ok, I made up the last one,
but you get the picture. The community is strengthening all of its outer
muscles, which will inevitably strengthen the whole.
Its difficult though, and I know that you all understand, to keep a secret once
it has been given. hell, I’m terrified to walk out of my apartment because what
I might say at a drive through. “yes, please supersize it (I’m American, I
can’t help it) and how about a little CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.” So I know
where some of these guys are comin from if they’re nervous to talk about what
they’ve learned.
Now, does this mean everyone is doing the right things all the time...um,
probably not...I shouldn’t have just eaten this whole pizza (guuuhhhh). So its
good to question from time to time whether things are working, but there are
lots of things happening all over the place in the community. Is what’s
worrying everyone that its not all in the same place?
As far as whether or not the advice of these NDA ridden groups is being taken
seriously and will be turned into adult friendly products? Yes, I see it
happenning all the time now, but it was a slow start. Not every idea the AFOLs
have given will be used, but its suprising how much affect we all have and if
the goal was to improve many of the LEGO products, then well done my friends.
There’s a lot less suck coming out of the company right now and I think we adult
fans to thank for it.
