[EN] TWplus - the reproduction

...because the crowd asked for a bonus! :-)

Criminy! - heavy thing, that I started. While I was using the symbolic of theatre so far, I would really have broken with tradition, if I wrote this text in a simple manner. And so I had to give lots of thoughts about the title of this article. Yes, only the title - as the rest was already set.

As you already might have realized, TWplus is back online and offers its services in the same extent as ever. Though in my last article I mentioned, that this would be only an intermediate state until within a discussion inside of PostOpus the future of TWplus is resolved. This discussion happened on friday, 2009-07-10 - and we were really busy. After beginning at 8:07pm, we discussed nearly four hours nonstop - while some topics of the discussion were already prepared and partially worked out in advance. And without cultsibis excellently structured preparation - including an agenda - the discussion would have been even longer.

The first part of the discussion focused the most important question: will TWplus be reactivated? What is the pro, what is the contra? Every other topic depended on this decision. And it could not have been any clearer, as it was decided unanimously to continue with TWplus.

In the following we discussed about optimization in several parts. On one site it definitely must be a massive attempt to optimize the communication between all parties - as there are: TWplus, Community, Innogames. Proposals and approaches on that have been worked out and will be realized next. Changes, which would affect the community, will be communicated to you in detail at an early time. Further we worked out proposals and concepts on a raise of performance and an even more flexible orientation of the overall TWplus concept. Anyway: I will not give any more detailed explanations on that (yet).

Finally I want to address a personal word to you: the decision in favor of TWplus is in the very first instance your own best merit. Exactly one week has gone now, since the well-known protest has started. And I slowly start to realize the impact and reactions. I knew, that there would be some protest from the community - I counted on that, as I would not have started that protest without it. But the way, the extent, the mass of sympathy, the tremendous solidarity within the community as well as within the support team have enormously impressed me. I was finally reading, writing and reading again for seven hours - and it seemed not to stop. And I really can say: it has deeply moved me. The following night I hardly got some sleep - I was too emotionally troubled; I was so impressed and happy about the community and the team. It makes me proud and happy, that this, what I have been part of in creation, has such a big support by those, for whom it was made for. I want to thank you for this. I take my hat off to you and bow with respect.

And so it is even harder for me on the other side, to - as I already said it here and then - completely withdraw from TWplus. At the begin of this year I made some new resolutions for me, which I completely and without an exclusion broke in favor of TWplus within the last days. I did not make these resolutions for no reason - there is so much I want to achieve above all. I can see TWplus in good hands - and with the new concepts on a better structure on a save way to future. But for me it is time to go. At least in the major part of it - as I still will be available for PostOpus as a consultant regarding organisation and communication.

I wish you lots of fun with the game, lots of fun with TWplus. I wish the team of TWplus lots of success.

Greetings
