So many things to say, unsure of where to start, or if some shouldn’t be said…

Incoming rant, brace yourselves. If you fear walls of text, turn back now.

I’m still trying to wrap my brain around all of this… I see chaos, I see innocence, I see potential, I see hope, I see greatness, I see raw creativity. But I’m still unsure of what it all means.

Simply a social networking site with a theme and cute twist? Just another soap-box? Or avant-garde (not-so) sekrit organization of like-minded movers-and-shakers bent on changing the world? Perhaps something else entirely, hiding behind a slightly-quirky veneer…?

Time will tell, I guess, and from what (little) I’ve seen to date, it could still easily go either way.

I said I see potential. I like potential (who doesn’t?). But where is it all going, exactly? I’m not sure when Gameful started, exactly, but at least late 2010 it seems. No offense meant, but I would have expected something that’s been around that long to be at least slightly more transparent. Perhaps I’m just dense. That’s entirely possible. Though I can’t help but feel that there lacks a certain general clarity and flow to this whole business.

I prefaced by hinting of things that perhaps should not be said… yes, I’m reticent of being too vocal or upfront about certain guesses, assumptions and inklings I have about all this. Perhaps I’m simply reading too much into it… perhaps my hopes and expectations are over-reaching a simpler reality. This is likely, really.

But on the off-chance that there’s more to all this than might at first be readily apparent, I have to say I do understand that the true nature of things can be hard to communicate, and that the greatest truths are hardest to put into words. And even if we could, it may not necessarily be the wisest course of action in all circumstances.

Then there’s unrealized potential, and I’m going out on a limb here and am guessing this might be (at least part of) the issue. By “unrealized”, I mean both “not noticed” and “not yet achieved”.

I find that life is fond of throwing curve-balls, and things which might originally start as one thing can come to evolve naturally into different beasts altogether. I can’t help but wonder if this might not be at least somewhat the case here.

There are levels, degrees and tiers to all things. Sometimes, we create and assign them ourselves. But other times, they come about through natural processes and take on a life of their own.

I’m being vague and fairly incoherent, I know. It’s partly on purpose, and partly because I’m having a hard time converting my thoughts into words; apologies. Consider this a light, tentative poke. Perhaps the sowing of subtle seeds. A furtive baiting, to see what bites.

I said I see chaos. I’ve also said that perhaps I’m just dense. That would explain my lack of understanding. But I detect a lack of direction here.

There is the mundane, of course, and that’s all well and good. Basic projects, individual connections and networking. But I was led here expecting more, a certain vision of greatness and a brighter tomorrow. Was it simply a misunderstanding, or do I need to dive deeper?

At any rate… glad to be here. Hello, and good day.
