I’m not sure how you got that opinion. What I said was: “My guess would be
that as the Ambassador program grows, there will be a greater diversity in
language support, and thus a greater variety representation.” And indeed
that has shown to be true. I really like meeting people from around the
world, and cheerish the friendships I’ve made because of the LEGO Community.
|
You also said “Jake has stated elsewhere that the Ambassadors will be
selected from available applicants, and that the Ambassador program would not
be recruiting for representation of all parts of the Globe or all countries.”
in response to my complaint the first time so I figured that meant you didn’t
really care since you bothered to write it.

I don’t follow your logic there. You seemed to be thinking that the purpose
of the Ambassador program was to be representative of the global, and I was
trying to correct that view. Obviously the more countries that participate, the
better. However, I’ve found that it is generally theme representation that is
more important than national or regional representation. Trainheads from
California and Germany tend to have the same LEGO-related issues, whereas a
Minifig customizer and a Spacer both from South Carolina tend to have very
different issues that need to be brought up.

But I find it interesting how much you complained about the lack of
globalism before, and then heralded it this time when not much has changed.
Most of the globa stands untouched by the benefits of the LEGO Ambassador
program. An issue that makes me cry every night as I go to sleep.
|
It was a tongue-in-cheek, humourous way of saying thanks given that I’d
complained last time. Perhaps if I’d written (SPACE!) at the end or finished
some words with ‘ah’ instead of ‘er’ it would have been seriously hilarious
but I’m still in training for that.
|
I missed the tongue-in-cheek part. Definately keep working on that, and maybe
someday, just someday, you might be able to make a post that is seriously
hilarious. Keep trying Tim, I know you have it in you. The spark of humor is
there, it just needs to be nurtured, cared for, and lovingly petted from time to
time, and it will grow. Oh yes, it will grow.

Once again, congratulations to all and I hope all the applicants from the
abovementioned regions + the Indian subcontinent which Lenny left out try
again next time.
|
Last time I checked, India was still in “Asia” - but maybe I missed some big
geographic change in the past few days...
|
Last I heard so was the Middle East and Russia ;)
|
You think Russia is in Asia? Well, part of it is... And the Middle East
tends to cover as much of North Africa as it does of Southwest Asia, which is
why I differentiated that. But not that it is all that important, since both of
us left out the Pacific Islands. Poor Micronesians, TLG doesn’t seem to care
about them, and neither does Lenny or Tim for that matter. Once again, I am
brought to tears...
