Hi Will,

I looked at Legitimate Salvage a Forbidden Psalm Sci-Fi Game without knowing anything about you, your team, or the work behind it, just the page itself.

What stood out wasn’t a flaw. It was a small disconnect between how strong the product is and how confidently the page carries that strength for a first-time visitor. That kind of gap is easy to miss when you’re close to the build. Backers feel it before they can explain it.

I spend most of my time noticing those moments while campaigns are still live, not to sell fixes, but to prevent quiet hesitation from losing momentum. If it’s useful, I’m happy to share what I noticed from the outside looking in.

Hi Victoria
I looked at your email without knowing anything about you, your team, or the work behind it, just the email itself.

What stood out wasn’t a flaw. It was a small disconnect between how strong the sound of your bullshit is and how confidently you spew it. That kind of gap is easy to miss when you’re emailing people unsolicited emails. I felt it before I could explain it.

I spend most of my time noticing those moments while people email me I never asked to, I notice them try to sell fixes, but maybe they should indulge in some quiet hesitation before emailing. If it’s useful, please never contact me again. 

If you’d like please remove me from any list you have, you may schedule a report to the ICO if you don't. 

Best Regards,

Will

I don't disagree I just said if was a bad look, and pretending its not is well a bit silly. its clearly not great and could easily be dealt with.

so why have the face of the regime on placards, why chant his name? Sorry what on earth are you talking abut greenland invading US.

do we have to wave flags at all? anti war signs are better anyway right. He was the religious leader of a religion that was forced on many in Iran. Ask the kurds or Zoroastrians how they feel, or Persians.

for many in diaspora its not their flag that's the issue. But the bigger issues is the chants and org behind the march for sure. Like I said its not a good look but I am not gonna stop supporting greens over this.

Thought you muted me lol. so your ok with anti IRGC marches to have ISR flags then cool. I think its ok to ask the deputy leader of the greens to be careful where he stands to avoid showing a lack of care to Iranian diaspora that see that flag as the flag of their oppressor.

Did i say stop them coming? but dont fly the flag that many Iranians see an the flag of their oppressor, the flag of those that just murdered 30k civilians?

03.03.2026 18:06 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

Its both and. That flag has weight and history and to Iranian diaspora its the flag of their oppressor. But sure lets not ask for more from the greens. So much for hope beats hate.

the official flag according to the IRGC sure. lets debate semantics while green deputy leader attends marches organised by people that called Khomeini a rare role model. Nothing to see here. Like I am a green support but surely part of that is asking them to do better when they make a mistake.

OK history lesson 100. It is the Flag of the Islamic republic of Iran, that the IRGC forced in in 1979 replacing the shahs flag that replaced the original lion flag. Go look at anti IRGC protests they will fly the lion flag.

also I am welsh mate the union jack is a flag i wouldn't stand next to either.

The march had problematic chants and organised by a group that said Khamenei was a rare role model. That is the Flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran and a large proportion of Iranians do not recognise it as their flag. Go watch any of the footage of anti IRGC marches you will see the flags waved.

Left is as it says in the image the flag of the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN. It was brought in when the IRGC took over in 1979 and replaced the shahs flag, the Shahs flag replaced the original lion flag. Jesus Christ how many times does this need to be said.

I said its not a good look, lol I didn't say throw the man to the wolfs to be torn apart now did I. Maybe asking those that say 'Hope over hate' to not attend marches chanting for a regime that murdered thousands of protestors recently is an ok thing to do?

would you then make the same moral justification for ISR flags at anti-IRGC marches that many Iranians have held across the UK? friend of my enemy is my friend logic is bad logic imo

but you will attend a march with their flags and chants cool./

I wouldn't attend a pro iran rally that was anti-IRGC if there were ISR flags there and I would not attend a rally by anyone that called Khamenei a role model. its a bad look from a party that has been pretty quiet comparatively on the crimes of the IRGC against the people of Iran.

No I am not a liar, the flag in the image is the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran or the ruling IRGC. The lion flags are the flags of Iran before the Islamic Revolution. Either way maybe attending a march organised by a group that called Khamenei a rare role model is a bad look.

dude lol, that flag is in the second row. Self own much. The flag of Iran BEFORE the IRGC took over was not this flag. It had a lion on it with a crown often known as the flag of the Shah, before the shah it just had the lion no crown.

03.03.2026 15:58 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

no its the flag of the IRGC. I am a green supporter to be clear just don't think attending a march by an org that called Khamenei “a rare role model" is a good look given his brutal treatment of people. Hell for an environmental stand point IRGC executes environmental protestors.

yeah here you go standing next to the flag of IRGC. Not a good look given what they did to protestors recently.

if someone throws up a siege heil at a right wing march we rightly call it a nazi march. Those organising it can ask people not to bring IRGC flags and other IRGC stuff no?

maybe then don't stand next to the IRGC flag I don't know not that hard to do
