[Scummvm-devel] contest PSD

[James 'Ender' Brown]

Since I've only dealt with this in private and my birthday is done, here
is my reply to the team and readers of devel.

Draven really seriously only sent me a draft of the design with the logo
on Feb the 14th. Its taken that long, he's been busy.  

And with my birthday coming up during that week or two period (was
yesterday on the 22nd, wish me happy birthday!) I had not managed to
really have a look at it. I did NOT lie in my update to -devel, and I
very much resent Sev using that personal attack in this kind of e-mail.
I do not appreciate it, and please do not ever do it again. 

As far as rushing it up on the web goes, Draven expresses the same
opinion that I do - We would rather prefer to get it perfect instead of
just rushing up a draft or the actual entry. And I think we should
respect that.

I do apologise to TMM for keeping him hanging, but these things take
time... but he is too busy by the time everything is final then I'll
finish it, or find somebody else to. No offence intended, I do really
appreciate the work he has done :)

And as far as another point I've heard ezpressed, for thoese few who
have expressed the opinion that it makes us look foolish or incompetent
and produces bad PR not to have the new site up yet, I have two points:

 * Internal squabbling and stuff is far more damaging than any
vaporware :)
 * Nobody I've talked to cares that much, just as long as ScummVM works
and keeps getting better.
