I feel guilty seeing people commenting on GH
I must apologize to all admins and members for causing this kind of comments.
GH is a wonderful community and please be rational.
I understand that one can be angry with me as i have failed to do what I have promised
but there is nothing wrong with GH as the platform.
Argument happens as the taihao keycaps are cheap and with high c/p ratio which attracts new comers to join
and I think they did not expect to not receive what they have paid for after 5 months of the original schedule
(although i too have been waiting for the golden spring from sprit after nearly a year)To people who have joint this GB as the first one in GH, I am very sorry to have given you such a bad experience
There are lots of experienced Organizers such as ivan which i am sure you will have a much better time joining his groupbuys
To avoid any of the guessing of me trying to scam or so, I am totally fine with sharing with you all my schedule and responsibility, and photos of the rest of the keycaps that has not been shipped yet
You can question the authenticity of what i have said below, and I will try to prove it to you
I am not trying to justify the lateness of the shipment, but I think I have the responsibility to tell you guys more when my actions have affected GH's reputation
I understand some of you cares only about the keycaps, i will hide the part about myself.
More
I am sharing this only because I would like to explain why things have been taken so long
You can have no interest of what I do, which I think most of you do as what you want is your keycaps
you can also be distrust or hate me as the GB organizer having choice of putting the priority of finishing GB lower than these works
but please be respectful to my duties
What I have done/been doing in the past 5 month since the shipment has arrived.
1.) as a college student studying civil engineering, i study quite hard, for job, which i guess is reasonable. I am also the class representative
2.) as the president of civil engineering society since last march, my work is to make products, set up events and contact guest speakers for talks and so for my schoolmates
we are the very first session of committee, and i as the president have to set up rules and constitutions and forward looking plans
3.) as the chairman of the Student Union Council since last june, acting executive committee since september, (as the original ex-co was dissolved due to insufficient member which violates our constitution)
we have routine works managing all the student organizations and communicating with the school administrative staffs about our student's needs, plus minor matters everyday
and since November I have been preparing for the new session of General Election which will take place on coming Monday and Tuesday.
4.) as a research assistant working for my professor since Feb 2014 and the topic we are working on is "Material Life Cycle of Highway"
with the above duties I usually stay at school from 0900 to around 1800, which is totally clashing the opening hour of the post office.
I thought I had the chance to finish the packaging during Christmas, but I was wrong as I had to finish my reports alone cuz all my groupmates are ****ing free riders.
During the semester break, I was named to go Japan as an exchange student.
I didn't know about this until early December and I had to prepare for it in a rush
At the beginning of the shipment, all the keycaps are store in another industrial building away from my home
and now i have moved the rest to my flat, so that i can do the packaging during the night
My duty as president and chairman shall be shifted to the next session of members after next week
and I hope that by then i can finish them in a month
I am working on shipments bit by bit
and i suppose i could finish 90% of them before the end of march (or mid april, just in case i got any sudden duties.....)
finally, sorry again for what has happened in this GB.
