Did I not say no more caffeine for you??? LOL!
I cannot answer for them, on the thought process that brought about their decision to vote NO but I can make a few intelligent guesses.
1. Choosing only 15 excludes so many other people who are also eager for answers. My guess is they'd rather be part of the first hand information and ensure no deals were made in their behalf. In fact, someone even said, the 15 might get bribed! LOL! I understand that, they don't know me, why should they trust me? Right? We're not there to make concessions, it's not a negotiation, we were simply to air concerns as gathered from everyone. We, in MMUFF, know this but there's only 1900++ of us.
2. Maybe they want answers given straight to them, I guess they are willing to wait longer for the answer. Had we pursued talks yesterday, the transcript would have been out today. If we weren't satisfied with GI's answers we could have asked follow up questions which would probably be the sentiments of all MM players. I guess they don't understand that we are ONE in our sentiments to have a fully working game. Our common denominator is, we are all gamers! But again, they don't know this and probably don't realize that we'll probably get to the same answers which now will take longer. GI will post answers. Everyone, who is not banned(!!!), will post more comments. GI will gather again and post more answers at their convenience.
3. Maybe they don't realize that now they have given GI the free hand to choose which comments to answer and which ones to ignore. If they have not noticed, GI has been doing this since the beginning. They only choose to answer issues they want to address. Having the conference would have forced them to answer questions they have been avoiding since December 2011.
4. And finally, maybe they just have not really immersed themselves in the issues enough to understand. Maybe they have been too busy to read up. Maybe they have family problems. Maybe they don't speak English. Maybe it's just all confusing for them. Everyone is afraid of the dark. It's easier to say NO to something you don't understand. A majority vote does not always reflect greater good, it just means so many are just passionate about getting involved. Maybe they have not reflected on the consequences of their vote.
I could be wrong.
