Nihil Sine Nefas

Nothing Without Sin

   I do hope that SS gets their act together but the question is, if they don’t get it in gear, in reasonable time, will you continue to do the scans for AG? I know that all scan groups do their work out of wanting to spread and share a series with others, but what about ‘company/consumer’ loyalty? Where does that concept begin and end, if it even does begin?

   All in all, I love the series and appreciate the work you and other groups do, but I’d hate to see this or any other series fall under a long hiatus like before.

   Well, if they stop again, we’ll step in. The issue is that if we release second, it means our work has basically gone to waste. Even if Sora stops they could jump out of nowhere and release the latest before us (as with this chapter where they skipped back log for the newest chapter, which is unusual for them). In this situation we are basically betting on being first with every release of AG.

   Hey, just wanted to say that I think you guys have done an awesome job! I’m sure there’s thousands of AG fans who really appreciate the great job you’ve done with scanlating during the quiet times. Cheers for all the hard work, I’m sure when the time is right, you’ll step in again (I hope so anyway). Good on ya.

   Yeah, i think that you are doing a fine job, i cant understand the attitude of SS….what are they trying to do?? to release a chapter skipping other to appear as they can also release fast?? try to make you guys the bad people??? whatever, if you continue to release i will surely read your chapters

   This is how competence becomes a productivity boost, SS will not normally do this, and recently they have been releasing quiet fast. and no longer feels (at least for now) that they are rude to the people asking for quick scans as in the past.

   However i do enjoy your releases, and appreciate the effort, but as you said. If they are gonna release fast, duplicating efforts is not particularly good as there are many other series which are not scanlated out there..

   i will respect your decision, but please do keep an eye on AG as to not make SS become careless again.

   Thanks, and again, we’ll keep an eye on Sora. Right now we are going to do another series that got dropped for no reason. We might or might not end up doing a volume release for this one so it could be a couple weeks before our next release. We’ll update with more info after we get some work done.

   Yeah, we assumed that you guys had gotten back in gear after releasing 232. Thanks for saying it explicitly though. You guys should update your status with info like that. As of now it’s:
   “Scanlation Status
   Raw: 230
   Scanlated: 227 In works: 228, 229, 230″
   Not exactly up to date. Also, in the future, you might want to consider saying when people are MIA (at least when it causes group dysfunction, as with this past case) on your staff page. Actually, we should also try to make our circumstances more clear. I remember Nihil saying that seawolf or somebody from Sora said that he wasn’t sure when we posted on our updates that we planned to release 232 on that day (for the record it was friday at about 3am). My point being, dating time sensitive information on our updates page would help our clarity, so I’ll do that the next time we have something like that.

    the previous post, taken from the main page, was to explain that we said something before skipping till 232.

    Status page will be updated soon, our captain is drunk and he’s the only one allowed to write on the “status” page.

    Julian, that thing you posted just says what Dante said, that you released 232 without any prior notice. The release of 228/229 came AFTER 232. So no, you guys didn’t say anything before skipping to 232.

    Dante, I would just like to say I appreciate how you handle your self. Very, very respectfully, thats not something you see very often on the internet these days. All of SS’s staff trys very hard to do right by the fans, sorry to say sometimes life dose get in the way of scans. Not that it should matter but the majority of Sora’s staff have full time school and jobs not to mention the social lives we keep. As well as kids and spouses! To get to the point, Sorascans will keep scanning, and now that we have gotten the whole staff change into effect, we should have our scans back out as previously HQ and quickly.

    As with anyone who has a problem with any staff, if you felt you were wronged voice it. I will always listen to any member no matter the topic.

    We never have been or ever will be out to hurt another site in anyway. As dante said if the scans aren’t out first they are basically wasted (we will do the missed chapters as well ofc). The skip was for our members and staff, to show all of us we have not and will not quit. ^-^

    Nil, I would like to thank you for your courtesy and general tone of respect for your fellow humans It is a joy to see someone not being a cunt on the internet.

    Anyways I apologize about not getting in contact with you, we were lagging behind, yes, we’re about to do a triple release with the missed chapters + 233 and be caught up on all the scans.

    I appreciate your hard work put into scanlating, thank you
