Have no fear. You or anyone can ask me a question. I respond or not. Lie I will not do. Depends what the question is first. Like how you diddling. It’s been awhile that’s all Tom. Anyway what I will say is this. The R200 project came at time when I wanted to just be on my own plodding along after 2024. To focus on expanding the HOOKHAUL fleet and its group of companies. What the R200 project offed me was the option to allow people to join the HH group and then there was talks of the TSLP paints shops. Here all work would be subbed out to individual members. At the time TG08 would have ran that side. Dealing with scenarios I felt it was best after his case put forward in the meetings that a central point was my answer. For me it made more sense to have place of communication so he and other members if free could be involved with either R200 contracts or the TSLP paints shops that gave members both R200 and TSLP work. TSLP work or contracts would have been the place for you or any of those you say are afraid. Fear is an emotional response to overload. A shock or a worrying thought of the bad. The key word is thought. Here I will say thoughts can be controlled with logic. Logic controls emotions. You will find that any worries you’ve ever had most never came to happen. Fear is in the mind. I can DM you tho because you or no one else should worry. My point is this. The option has always been there. I work on energy efficiency or exchange, so what that means is you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours. We’d be both the same, no one takes more than the other gives. A fair exchange of energy. Not work load, energy. I’m being honest and fair as I can be after so many ups and downs when it never had to be that way. Respectfully you wasn’t ever part of the full picture. Half yes, but not the full. But what you ask for today is what the TSLP Paint shops was about. To bring people together to help each other out. R200 Project. This HOOKHAUL thread original starting with Speedfreak. The TSLP ideas and the thread itself. Then the newer stuff like the Unofficial TSW Heritage trust and so forth. They were or are meant to help people of all talents to pull together. I can’t do that with an unfair exchange of energy because not one person has come forward. And you may be asking why do my projects feel like a secret society. Simple, Information is power. Those in that circle have access to it. My correction so my mistakes didn’t stay before I left. Is this what puts you or others off approaching me?. When it’s not a secret society, you’d have to pay for a starter Keepers of secrets not a secret society. All it would mean if joining any of my projects, and you should already know what goes on is what ideas get passed around stay within that group. I learnt my lesson that’s all Tom. Who to trust. And the answer to your question is. Just think, that’s all I do. A free tip. From my experience you only start to think when you’re around those that make you. No point using the eye if the brain doesn’t think to see. The higher you think, less fear can grow. Logic. So yes, don’t fear. Have faith. Trust begins with foundations. I speak truth Tom not lies. The real world some fear to hear or see is when the lies begin. I’ll add this too because I know how messages can be wrongly interpreted. I’m not being funny with you Tom, I just want you to know it was never about me. It was about getting a wag shackled group together to be part of something bigger than what they had. It was all fully open but others took it away, That’s why the doors are locked, only to be opened for men of fairness. Not of greed, or self glory. Only for the men of a good heart. To help each other and all. So my question back to you and to all that fear. Are you men of good hearts?. Lee✌. In fact….
,,,,I’m building. Just a test livery. You see Tom with what you see now I could hand this over for you to become a director for Optimus Rail. I’d have to run it past Risgby first, yet it’s similar to what Jplayz wanted to do by Joining HOOKHAUL and RAILNEX. Except in this case I can offer a full company to run with. A basic simple design to help cost and for any performance issues players are experiencing across the board. There’s the element of ROLEPLAY. I mean Risgby is a CEO. Look what He and speedfreak did at the start. Roleplay. It’s easy for Risgby tho being a trained actor Joking aside I’d like to think you can see I’ve tried to add different things to the mix. In this world you have to be able to laugh at yourself. Otherwise you’ll grow old and bitter way before your time. That’s not me man. Bit of PEEPSHOW (TV) or one I really miss the IT Crowd. Maybe a bit of Benson Boone inbetween. Talented guy and can laugh at himself. I can make out what He’s saying too. Anyway I think I’ve said enough for this evening. But just remember it was never meant to be this way. Take it easy my old friend. Lee✌.
Well, this is a surprise! Anyways, this is a tough decision whether I should step up as a director for a whole company, considering I was beginning to think about creating my own company based out of my creation yard. I shall discuss this with the railway board in my head. If I remember to, I shall update you on the final decision. -Tom, Creation Yard.
Life is full of surprises. What I offered yesterday was me continuing with the idea of people coming together. To learn from each other. I know you’re wanting to set a company up, and you still can. There could be others that want to do the same. Again this is the reason for having a few threads open to allow those who might want to learn new things, including me if talking about getting the Unofficial TSW Preservation Group up and running so members can share knowledge working towards the same vision. Like most of the things I do there is a purpose. And right now I get the sense TSW and the community is falling apart. You might have seen the recent threads topics I’ve been involved with. Look further than that and it’s slowly starting to unravel. I belief as a mature player we should start helping others to learn. Learn about a game in general or how the deeper gaming industry operates. Ie I’m not looking at just us TSW players, I mean players full stop. End games that target younger players by getting them addicted thus more likely to spend money. Games shouldn’t be about money, it should be about the players experience. Here I feel educating people about how some of these big corps work to bring back games and healthy relationships away from their PC or consoles. Games company’s have a lot to answer for when it comes to how these games can destroy a healthy child’s development process at home and in social settings. The gaming industry is heading towards a major shift soon. So it’s not just about forming a group that deals with liveries or fictitious characters or companies. It’s about offering younger players a chance to learn from the more mature community members so the community feels like one again. Being available to offer assistance to those who need it. Support that’s all. A place for those whom get a little overwhelmed when coming to a forum not knowing where to go or what to expect. Who to ask and whom not to ask. I’ve been lost a few times on this forum, not excepted or shunned out. Here I’m taking about those with certain issues like me with learning difficulties. Look at my spelling and grammar. It’s shocking I know this but can I learn it!, no. I know a few members I’ve come across have shared their stories. Mental health issues basically Tom. That’s always been a personal topic for me being at the receiving end most my life. Hopefully you’ll understand what I’m saying. It’s not about you, or me. It’s about those that struggle to interact with others to talk about a franchise they enjoy but not sure of things every now and then. It’s about sticking together in a hostile world. So I do hope you’ve booked enough time for your board meeting after receiving this new information A lot I know, and with that you take all the time you need. Supporting and trust, fairness in exchange. Men of a good heart ONLY remember. If you do consider what’s been offered then the brand colours can be changed to your tastes because currently I’m doing colour brand testing and working how a normal design house would. I don’t have any fancy PCs or editing software so good old fashioned testing. So I’d be removing those brand colours anyway, plus depending on what you decide to do then what you see is only the half of it. A number of options are available even before we discussed any brand names/branding even ID’s to logo designs. All this would be done behind closed doors and would remain private until any firm agreements have been made prior to public disclosure. In fact I’d say you’ve contacted us at the right time with looking at a couple of new things, why I had 66 002 close to hand. You could help me and return I’ll help you. An exchange of something in abundance with something else much needed. I will let Rigsby know what’s been discussed when He’s back. Till then you take care. By the way I did ponder a little last night and now with your first response today would confirm my original thoughts. I feel you were surprised to hear back, the only thing I could put that down too is other members being ignored. Blocked in other words. Correct me if I’m wrong on that though if you could. If you are to run a business then communication is essential to a smooth operation. I’ll await your response then take it from there. Bye for now Tom. Lee✌.
