RE: Sndbox Summer Camp Final Quest: Life of Steem - My Experience
"Our biggest problem was that one member take off two days before the projects completion, taking the community account and some of our proposal with him, and so a lot had to be reworked last minute, but 3-4 members really came together to deal with it."
Sorry, where were you during the entire process? I wrote 80% of the entire proposal together with @Mountainjewel, I worked out the AIDA model and did a little brainstorm session with her and @Maverickinvictus, together with @Artizm we re-designed the graphics. All the crucial parts for early stage developing a project. It comes down to teamwork where you were no attendee of after many calls from @Mountainjewel and me.
Only these three members plus @IamJadeline did all of the work.
Don't give me shit when I gave you guys a solid foundation to work on, and if I am so shitty, why do you still use my ideas? You literally didn't do anything during that time, and now you're saying that you came up with concepts, solutions and the idea in "two"(actually 4) days after I have left? Quite the guts you have, son.
The "interviews" you magically came up with, were already written down by me in the format 8 days ago. Also, @travelgirl came up with that idea at a later point. The contests was an idea from @Maverickinvictus.

Go leech and benefit from others efforts, but in my opinion, you should not be part of the team at all. I want @Anomadsoul and @Guyfawkes4-20 to know that. I am not going to let some douchebag trash my name, while I was working 18 hours per day on my day-time job ánd the SNDBOX project at the same time, until the day that I left, and for that, I have a reason that is none of your concern.
I am really surprised that you actually popped up an article about the project.
Ok.
I didn’t trash your name, I didn’t say your name anywhere in my post other than listing it as a member of the team despite the fact that you quit. And I fully acknowledge that others did way more work than I did. I am literally giving you zero shit.
Sorry, but did you even read what you wrote?
The biggest problem with our project are guys like you entering the SNDBOX project that think that it is easy and free money. You didn't show up in chat, didn't try to connect with any of us, didn't put in feedback and didn't come up with ideas when it was needed, and here I read your article full of bullcrap, a summary of ideas and concepts crafted by your own team members, making it look like that you actually did something.
It is so easy to point fingers at someone. And it's fair that these fingers are pointed towards me, as long as it is with respect and with the truth, but more importantly, by the people that I abandoned, @mountainjewel, @maverickinvictus, @artizm, and @travelgirl have all the right to (Sorry, I have other things to take care of asap). But certainly not from someone who didn't do a thing during the entire time that I worked my ass off for this project and taking my own ideas and concepts claiming to be his own.
Once again, I didn’t point any fingers at you, even with you here pointing the finger at me. I’m not hiding the fact that I did minimal work on this project. I didn’t enjoy working on this project very much so I didn’t put any uneccesary effort into it when most of the work was done. Also, if I knew that this was what I was entering into when I joined the summer camp, I probably would not have joined because I don’t always like working with random strangers on projects that I’m not passionate about, this conversation I’m having with you right here is one of the reasons why, the other reasons I wrote about in this article. I did show up in the chat a few times to see what I could do and most of what I would have liked to contribute was already done, so I shared a few ideas and checked back in a few times after that only to find nothing in particular that I could add.
@sndbox has your complaints here for reference and my response. Is there anything else you want to say or can we drop this?
That's where you are wrong. You are not without a reason part of the @SNDBOX summer camp. It is because you have talent and skill in some specific areas. That being said: you could have added a lot of value and/or contribution, especially in the early stages of the project, just by simply showing up and join the conversation for example. Simply because you didn't like the project or the idea of working with people together in a project doesn't mean you could have at least tried to make a difference or be clear about it.
It's clear that I don't like people who present themselves like this and take credit for things other people worked hard for. it might be my own perspective, but I know others share this perspective as well. This is not done where I come from.
I did try. I was in different time zones and had lots of other things going on. I even though about pulling out of the project but I thought it wasn’t hurting anyone to stay around and see if I could add something, and I did, and it wasn’t just a little bit, I admit that.
I appreciate the more respectful tone. I really don’t see what I took credit for. I had some ideas and I shared them. That’s all I did. Did I take credit for anything else?
Also my mode of working is so different from all of yours that to take an overly active role would have created a headache for everyone, and once again, by the time I got there on day 3, it seems a lot of the concept was decided on already which is why I took the back seat.
We all have our own perspectives and that's okay.
But, if there's anyone who isn't a leech, who isn't just on Steemit to make quick money, it's @whatamidoing The only thing you need to do to discover that, is to read his blog posts.
