Public apology

By Altahara, in Star Wars: Armada

I feel I need to give a public apology to BiggsIRL, Ginkapo, and the FFG Armada community. I failed to ship out a prize I had offered and after a few months of not being able to. I was ashamed, I left the community, put it on the back burner and let life happen. I did not own up to my mistake when I made it which made it worse.

So, from me to all of you I am sorry. I will never let that happen again and hope that I have not made those that remember it loathe me.

I know that feel bro. 😕

It's not easy to dig yourself out of it either, cause it keeps looking bigger and bigger the longer you let it stew.

So, kudos for doing what you felt you had to do to come clean, fwiw.

what kind of prize? for what?

sI'm sure you can make amends but sorta leaving me hanging without any info here.

Publicly then, I wasnt overly bothered. I wrote that article because it needed writing rather than any expectation of prizes. It genuinely never crossed my mind that I was waiting on prizes.

Deeply sorry that you've felt guilty about it. I hope you wont anymore.

Thank you for that.

It was a self imposed exile. As ardaedhel said. Things look.bigger and bigger the longer it stews.

Not good enough, the entire community demands to be compensated with shiny new SSDs.

You know, the model looks big enough to mod with an external SSD - you know, just to justify having it on my desk at work.

Huh. I wonder if one couldn’t expense this as an external drive caddy? LOL.

I want to say that people still comment on your tray I bought from you back in the day. It works well for Armada and X Wing. And Legion if you flip it over to the flat side.

Things happen in life. You just got to get things together and keep moving.

Word from experience also involving @BiggsIRL and @Drasnighta : move to Canada and blame US Customs.

To paraphrase something I saw on Reddit, don't let the time and money you invested in a mistake prevent you from fixing it.

I... uh... I didn't know there was an issue?

Gink is content, so carry on I suppose.

Can the success be bigger, then?

It's probably gonna be big enough to give it a USB port so it recharge if it's lit up. That said, you could probably do it such that your entire lighted fleet could plug into the SSD to recharge their LEDs and fiber optics.

First were LED lights into your ships.

Now is time for:

A while back, and I mean a while, ginkapo wrote an article about armada. It was chosen as best and I had donated a prize pack of tournament trays and transport trays.

I failed miserably in shipping and.. well this is the result.

When I saw the title I thought it was ffg apologizing for General Organa's cost
