Some of these comments are insane. . . . . . I can't believe some of the things I'm reading. . . . .
---------------------------------
===="Don't release because another groups doing it" -----> What? Like a Manga aggregator? Why? That's part of the problem with Manga aggregators, they never go for higher quality scans, just the fastest.
Don't copy them, that's just a rush for the dumb ass. Multiple groups can work on a series and everyone benefits.
===="Other team has dibs" ------> No they don't. If that's how it worked, I could make a group and spam google translate shet an entire series. I could start today on any popular series and spam troll translations and I would win.
You know why? I would simply not redraw anything or clean, translate conversations into one word like shet, damn, you dead, the hate. Or if I was extra lazy, I would translate a scene that didn't really matter with OOOOH in every word bubble.
I would ALWAYS be first. That doesn't sound too good right?
===="You snipe, you bad" ----> How is not competing with the original group sniping? They're going for past chapters. . . . .
===="You don't pick up this series, don't release ----> . . . . what happens when the group like Champion Scans picks up the series and then doesn't release anyways? It's not that simply, it's more important to release than to "pick up" a series.
