An applause to all the negative people that are still here!

[mazex]

A Sunday night thought before going to bed...

A Swedish artist once talked about the election on a radio show and said something like this:

"There are some people you have to admire, like the people with a lot of money that vote for the social democrats anyway. But they are not the people most worthy of our respect. Think of all the people that have lousy jobs and still vote for the conservatives. They have no money - but they want the ones that are rich to get some of theirs!"

So - there are quite a bunch of believers here that still hang around over a year after the rather disastrous release hoping for the Grail-patch every Friday. Well worthy of admiration, but think of the people that seems to have no hope in Maddox Games at all and seem to get annoyed by any kind of information - and they still hang in here! That's really something to applause! So lets all bow our heads in respect to the glass half empty people that after almost one and a half year are still here, axing all kind of news regarding CloD or the sequel they are all sure will be an utter failure! ;)

[kendo65]

Thanks man, I'm touched. :cry:

what a crazy bunch of people we are.... cheers!

[nearmiss]

Agreed! and some of them are very civil about it as well.

So who are they then, nearmiss me ole china?

Nice post Mazex. They're all completely mad you know.....except me. I'm totally sane. Just ask anyone in ATAG. They'll tell you.

Really no need to qualify the artist statment with the swedish qualifier.. In that most artest get it wrong like this swedish artist did.. There are only a few artist that get it right.. Clint being one of the current examples.. But I do get your point, as in sticking with it, just a bad 'swedish artist' example of it IMHO. ;)

Nice post, I worry about myself, I was negative about this game 2 years before it was released. Just a single voice back then, but now we have all come together in one big happy family of whiners and naysayers, heres to me boys ::razz:

Now that we have established that naysayers and whiners are actually the best than mankind can produce and should be harnessed as a force for the betterment of the universe. Each and every one should take it as your sacred duty to venture forth from this forum and do good in the world.

Thank you and good bye! We will remember you! (and make the occasional disparaging remarks at your expense to keep ourselves amused!)

Nice gratuitous insult against a large part of the community. Against all the evidence we have hope, but hope alone doesn't do anything.

Instead, shall we tickle the tummies of the lapdogs amongst us whilst they roll over and lick the feet of the developers?

So the only artists that 'get it right' are Republican-supporting ones that make films about blowing people away with a .44 Magnum? There's a surprise ;)

And I didn't even know Clint was an artist - I haven't seen any of his paintings...

IMO the world would be a happier place if the artists were running things - granted the trains wouldn't run on time and the economy would tank, but we'd be happier...

Really?..wow, I take it all back then...:)

Also, I just realised that the trains don't run on time anyway and the economy is already tanked - so we probably wouldn't even be any worse off :)

Whereas constantly praising something that needs badly fixing works an absoloute treat and gets it done quickly, smoothly and with little fuss. :grin::grin::grin:

I'd like to say that it is good that we can all insult each other in a really nice way now with :) smilies and everything...makes the mods job a lot easier.

Yes, we've all come a long way in the last year.

You could find and report some bugs on the bug tracker instead of making the same speaches, quoting people and holding them to account and asking questions again and again - novel concept I know...

Where have I constantly praised it, I have always agreed that it's broken/half finished. Don't put words in my mouth all I have ever done is try and stem the tide of childish bickering... (and failed horribly)

There are many things wrong with the game but it has slowly improved for me, get your facts right in the future, I suppose that would be a first for you!

[tintifaxl]

Sorry, but from my experience the bugtracker reports are as useless as Tree's whining.

The worst whining is the whining about whining. :)

[Falstaff]

Ah, Icarus, you mean the 'sanctioned' whining...:)

I should know :)

[JG52Uther]

Now now lets not start the bickering again, this is an appreciation thread about all the people who stuck around even though theres lots of other things they could be doing.

[bongodriver]

The worst whining is the whining about whining. :)

No it's the whining about the whining about the whining because it's pure excess, people are entitled to have an oppinion about whining but it's pure hipocrisy to whine about how it infringes freedom of speech to whine about the whining.....so there, if you want to whine then be prepared to have someone whine about it and don't whine about it.

whining about whining about whining about whining is however perfectly justified because it is a perfectly valid oppinion about the hipocrisy involved in whining about whining about whining on the basis of free speech, it's all about balance, an even number on both sides, whining and whining about whining are a perfect balance, but whining about whining about whining becomes awkward and uneven....hence why this whine is absolutely necessary and justified.....if you whine about this whine then you are obviously just a troll hell bent on destroying the natural equilibrium.

[Falstaff]

It's good to feel appreciated at long last :) We must be doing something right, then :)

And Tree, before you go claiming all the glory...some of us were more damning and pessimistic before release, and upon release...and still are :)

I know I'm on your ignore list (commendable and I applaud you for being one of the very few to have figured it out) so won't see this but I am quoting for emphasis.....

sorry to say the ignore list only censors my posts and does not erradicate all traces of my existence in the universe.

Yes when I had a list it used to drive me crazy seeing people on the ignore list quoted.I'm sure some people just do it deliberately to annoy.
No way around it I'm afraid.

[Falstaff]

Very good, very good....

Time for a perma-ban maybe? You've put in the practice (twice)

You've earned it...go on...fill yer boots....:)

[nearmiss]

1C Moderators cannot use the ignore list, all postings must be available for them to read.

Being able to use the ignore list is "indeed a joyful thing".

Anyone, that doesn't use the ignore list is missing out on something very special. Being able to turn off discussions of people you wouldn't waste the time of day to hear one sentence from their mouth at any time has got to be a "treat".

Use the ignore list, you'll probably have some better days.

It has other advantages as well. It is very annoying to attacker posters that direct their ill tempered ilk to you. It doesn't matter what they say or how they say it... your ignore list cuts them off. :-P

Ironic really but it's probable that the whiners are actually the super massive uberfanboys because they are the ones most emotionally affected by the state of the game.

Why don't you and certain others get a room?

If Mods are so openly able/allowed to goad and prod for a reaction, what hope for the forum as a whole? The net effect? Gives a green light to the usual suspect to up the goading level and have a field day, with your blessing.

So back to the question - where does such behaviour get the forum as a whole? I suspect the answer may well be 'not very far'

[ACE-OF-ACES]

Predictable answer. LOL
As was yours! ;)

The point your missing is your statment about whinning about whinning is worse than whining is and endless one..

As I noted so well in my 'predictable' reply back to you!

Hope that helps! S!

It cracks me up when people who pre-ordered the game call me a fanboy.

[Slipstream2012]

That's one of the most sensible posts I've ever read in here!

I agree totally, We all want the best for this game, I guess such a passionate community is prone to frustration.

[Falstaff]

So this is what it comes down once a Mod starts actively endorsing the goading...at least it has the good grace to be out in the open, for a change.

Which is about all that can be said for it. Pathetic.

BTW, I can't see other recent comments but I can guess the usual content. Edifying, I bet.

That there, is the truth gentlemen, the thing that separates us are our point of views, which is fine BUT some people here have a hard time accepting that having a different point of view is fine. Those people -who have a hard time accepting what other people think, on both sides- are narrow minded, bigot and most of all, lack common sense. Peace!:cool:

P.S It seems to me, that those who are whining at the whiners are taking out their disappointments and frustrations, regarding the game, on other forum members instead of directing it against the source of the problem, the developers.

I believe JG52Uther knows exactly what this thread is about, and understands the various ironies and back-and-forths to a tee. But you'll have to ask him about that.

Thereis a separete and special site to make remarks and to signal bugs graphic or other use it!

[mazex]

Well - my point between the lines in my original post is that we are all very similar in our devotion to this game as we are all still here... Deep inside we actually all want it to succeed, even though we have different ways of expressing it ;)

Some of us are naive optimists that every Friday get surprised as we actually think a patch will be released, even though we deep down understand that it's very unlikely - and we know that there would still be tons of bugs left anyway - and new ones to squash...

Some of us see all in black and like to point finger at all the broken "promises", embarrassing bugs, missing features and smugly remark "what did I tell you!" when a patch does not double the FPS or make the radio commands work...

But in the end, all of us see the unpolished gem that is there inside of the spaghetti code - otherwise we would all have left a year ago...
