Serving Notice...

[Red Devil]

I am fed up too.

I am sick and tired of seeing insulting, inane, illogical posts by individuals whose only claim to any inkling of intelligence is their self-proclaimed abilty to "hover", which is witnessed by their uncomfortably embarrassing inability to form complete thoughts or express them using complete and grammatically correct sentences, but rather express themselves in a form of communication that could only have been used by the first Australopithecus, yet have the audacity to criticize those who are intrinsically intelligent, educated, moral, generous, and helpful.

If you have something constructive to say, say it.  If you don't, then don't.

If any of you personally attack anyone on this board, especially Nathan/GSH if he decides to stay, you will have me to deal with here - as well as a number of others.

However,  I strongly encourage you, Nathan, to leave behind this ungrateful rabble and pursue other activites which are rewarding, fulfilling, and pleasurable instead of trying to please people who will never be pleased.  You could be in a hammock on a pristine beach in Fiji, sipping a cool drink, instead of enduring daily the slings and arrows of this contentious crowd!

Heh, I thought you were putting up a notice that you were gonna run a server, and all are welcome!  

OK, you did'nt and fair play.  So, let's get this straight.

There are a number of people who I know personally that are calling GSH bad names.  Those names are totally unjustifiable.  GSH and Ken Miller have made BZ2.  They were the original creators, and they have PUT THEMSELVES OUT for all those gripers and moaners out there who ought to shut the *Ammo* up.

Instead of moaning, and complaining like some washing women scrubbing out their husband's dirty underwear, they should be grateful for what they've got.  OK, so they don't like some things, well tough.  *Ammo* you.  Piss off if you don't like it.

Hang around the internet long enough, especially in chat areas or bulletin boards, and you end up developing a thick skin.  I'm sure Ken and Nathan, as veterans of this sort of thing, are taking the maturity level of the poster into account during these flames.

Still, considering how much work they've done, some of these yahoos are really pushing the ingratitude envelope....

For those still doubting 1.3, go read the changelog. Not only is it more productive than posting crap on these boards, maybe you'll get a feel over the amount of work put into it. Then ask yourself this, "If my lazy ass ever did this much work for free, how would I feel if people moaned and complained about it?"

[Slaor]

It's no surprise. Remember when FE came out? Same idiots, same whines and same price tag. Some people are just fukwits.

[OvermindDL1]

I personally have been 'flamed' over things in the past, but even back then I never let it get to me.  I am neutral when it comes to such things, no matter how strong my personal opinions are.  Now if it comes to a project, you can ask BS-er himself, I will argue for something, bring up points and research proof until I either prove myself right or wrong.

[PhoeniX-FlamE]

ive come here constructive and alot others more...

espicley bac opp...
very polite and u locked it right away
but still i came at 1st in a mod to fine, lets try - be polite - etc...

im getting realy sick of this

but hey - what do you care?
keep with this aditude.. we'll see where it leads

c ya on 1.2

What's up PF? Did someone mention your name here somewhere?

Have been perusing the clan forums a bit over last few days and come to the conclusion that a few of you guys are a bit unhinged, if not just plain ignorant and illiterate.

One thing that I did find particularly funny, if a bit tragic, is the way that some of the mighty self proclaimed clanboy "vets" seem so convinced that they - and only they - are the REAL players and are solely responsible for keeping the community kicking happily along after all these years.

What, by exploiting bugs to win, beating on (or simply barring) noobs and abusing developers? Bravo fellas, what would all us pathetic not-real players do without you.

1.3 splitting the community? Yeah FE was gonna do that too if I remember right. Well news for you boys - the community has always been split - one side is you and your ego clanboy bullhoot and one side is everybody else who enjoys playing this game. How could it be otherwise when you only ever come to the community forums to bitch and moan about free expansions and tell us all how hardcore you are?

As for this politics whinge I keep reading about - WTF?? It's a bloody game ffs. Some of you desperately need to get outside more often, or get a girlfriend or something. Might help get your priorities straight. Probably won't help your manners tho.

That's not it, you could stay without any social life in real world and be the most well educated and so on person on the board, has nothing to do with it (I'm telling out of my own experience, I know many ppl who don't know what the sun looks like, I'm not going into discussion with ppl having other experiences). Anyway, even if I feel the same as most ppl here I think this way of solving things saying the other has no right to say anything is completely useless. My suggestion is to start a (maybe useless) poll to see how much ppl will be playing 1.2 and how many 1.3, this way everyone can express how they feel about this without anybody getting pissed of or leaving the comunity. This would also give mod makers the chance to see if it is worth making a 1.3 only mod or not (I would say yes, but that's my opinion), of course, if anyone would have something constructive to say he will be able to reply, everything else will be easilly deleted. This is just a suggestion, it may be done somewhere else I don't know and I also didn't mean to hurt anybody in any way, if this post does, please post that or PM me with the reason why it does and I will remove it myself.

Mods like Epic and Fleshstorm and Dunezone can benefit much from the 1.3 enhancements from that perspective at least, there's no reason not to mod 1.3 - although TV is having some hassles with some of his stuff, really hope they prove to be easily fixable.

Huscar, I think that (apart from the hover thing which has been done to death so many times that it's just plain futile and boring) the main problem here is simply a pronounced lack of courtesy and constructiveness from some of these clan kiddies. Nobody expects gratitude but it's not too over the top to expect politeness. It pissed us off with FE and it pisses us off now.

How this kind of hoot would be reacted to in a real life situation is a good parallel here - regardless of how much sun they get, some people are just rude, ignorant dickheads and will therefore be treated as such until they wake up to themselves and play nice. There are a plenty of clan vets posting here who ARE constructive and courteous, they seem to manage it fine. But sadly then there are those who really need to look up the terms "obnoxious", "moron" and "public beta".

I wno't get into this really.

But I would like to say both sides have crossed marks that shouldn't get crossed with broad generalised statements.

Could we all please CALM down a little bit, and get back some of that self control and maturity? Fighting like this, and name calling(on all bz2 forums, not just here), will get us absolutely no where, and needlessly lags the net.

Thank you for thinking of the poor people still on 9600baud, and lets get back to something that does count, and will help(atleast inregards to bz2), and continue testing 1.3 and finding bugs/balance issues that will improve the quality of this patch for all "sides"
