Re: Never try

Though I agree with the big picture of the post ('try' has implicitly become 'don't hold me accountable for anything' - which of course demotivates and makes it all the more likely it will fail) but there is a distinction to be made:

An artists tries to express his emotions in paint, but looking back he might realized he failed as he's displeased with the result and try again.

So 'try' as a prediction (or rather, just covering your ass) is definitely something to look out for and possibly avoid.
Using it in hindsight to mean 'intend' (I tried to do... ) is part of creative process, recognizing failure and being okay with that - continuing on the intent rather than the result (the try).

P.S.
The comments are really hard to read with the concrete background and black text by the way, or is that just a Mac Firefox thing?

I've tried EVE, and it is an incredible world. Too much game dynamics (and time consuming) for me to truly appreciate it but I do recognise its quality and most of all, its community/developer relations.

As for the aug/imm - spot on!

Oh and a belated happy 2009! ;) (today's the last day right it's legal to say that i think :P)

I take a stab at he 'why now' here - don't think its a sudden realization, its more a sudden requirement to protect the assets that give SL value.
