For everyone who has ever invested their hard earned money in a hobby to make it better for the "good of the whole", I applaud you. For those that criticize the investing parties efforts, obviously you have no idea what these investors are up against. Don't think we are making money off of our work because for the most part, it just ain't happenin'.
Guys do what they do because they want to give something back to a game they envisioned great things for. And while it is true that everyone has the freedom of the speech, some things could easily been uttered via PM.

I support anyone who support what I do and Geno's one of those people. Something devastating happened in Geno's life but he continued to press forward in trying to enhance the game. Guys like that don't come around that often. Geno is just one of those guys that you know he does what he does for the luv of the game, nothing more!

So unless someone is going to invest his money into the game like Geno has, it would behoove the critique to take on an investment which will enhance the game-or be more understanding of what this person is trying to bring you (the Public).

What's funny is this Reginald.. I had no delusions going into the Tornado Alley bases.. I knew I'd be lucky to get my money back in 3 years.. And the final costs weren't a surprise either... As soon as I knew what the mould was gonna cost, I knew that dollars and cents wise.. and I'd better add "sense" wise.. that this deal was a money loser from the get go..

But I figured what the heck and did it any way..

Do I think Geno will recoup the costs he has incurred in this venture.. Ya.. He'll make a few bucks along the way..

Hey Geno.. are ya gonna treat me to Applebee's with those profits? Cuz that's about all there will be..

What would my advice be to someone who was contemplating sinking thousands of dollars into an EF venture.. FORGET IT.. There's a lot more jawing about wanting stuff then there is actually buying it..
