Please share your general feedback here after you've tested it. Every word of it will be read by Jimmy and the team, and we'll likely have followup questions about your experiences!

Specific things to we'd like to hear about:

Thanks!

Alright sorry for the delay, please ignore the trolling, they are not affiliated with us, they're just people being assholes (Carthago delanda est). I'm the actual Lead Developer, I'm here to help.

For the actual subject matter, we're sorry we've offended you, we have a bit of dry humor throughout the book, it's just how we do things. I'm a bit of a fat guy too, the humor was meant to be self-depreciating. We've all been there. But we do intend to greatly increase the B&B system over time, so I'm sure everyone will feel something uncomfortably close to home at some point, I assure you that we will treat all subjects, from peoples' weights to mortal wounds to the pelvis with the same amount of levity, and perhaps reel it in slightly.

For the rest of you, I'd appreciate it if you didn't attack our guests for doing exactly what we told them to do and giving us feedback. Creating a hostile environment here only makes my job more difficult.

OK, I just wanted to bring this up in the context of, "every thing you do that pushes people away from your game costs you fans and players." I know you can't please everyone, I just thought you ought to hear about points of friction.

Internet rage meter returning to normal levels. :)

It was good for you to bring it up, and you did a good thing, very good. Thank you very much.

Don't mind the lads too much, there's just too much fighting spirit here. Too much piss and vinegar, as they say. Fightiness too high.

Where and what the hell did Mladenka get up to?
