I like your post, Zarathud

But the last time I tried to say that I was banned

[HeX]

Hey guys, talking to my friend. He was over at the EgoSoft forums and the outrage reached them too. There is a rumor, just a rumor, that EgoSoft may try to outbid Derek Smart.

Not V, but it's something if it's true.

[jdjtcagle]

The Developers of X2?

Well, that may be cool... maybe

[Corhellion]

*sigh*

...Stryke speaks words of wisdom...let him do it...if he messes it up...we'll pretend it never happened...although...if it comes out...I still might buy it...

...might

*edit* Wow...Egosoft?...X2...saw a bit of X2...I liked the format and the look...the engine was well built too...I'd hope they get it.

[HeX]

Considering the work that went into the latest patch for X2, it could be a very good thing. They made some VAST improvements and while Ego won't be making more patches, there are more coming.

They also made their game VERY moddable. A good thing if they can do the same for FS3.

*edit* Remember though, that's JUST a rumor.

[HeX]

*edit* Whoops meant to edit

Take the Avault post down, ****stick. And here's a handy hint- those around you flaming, go ahead and flame. Those around you acting restrained and civil? No flamey!

Actually, I disagree.  It has to be said.  I said it intelligently.  Just disagreeing isn't a flame.  If Derek freaks out, he just proves my point (QED).  And Derek can sue me all he wants.  I'm a lawyer and I don't need to even have anyone on speed-dial.     There is no reason everyone has to kiss Derek's ass because he overreacts.

And you obviously didn't read the entire thing.  I hope I at least have some cred left in the FreeSpace community after helping to turn Xanadu's Mission Archive into Descent Chronicles and then Volition Watch.  And thanks for the welcome back, flameboy Stryke 9.  More fool you, if you have no idea who I am.

[Flipside]

Dare I say it?

Somehow, in some completely non-implicational way, I think I would laugh quite loudly if he were outbid by 'a bigger Ego'

[Bobboau]

Zarathud! you came!!!!
did you get that message I sent you(ICQ)?
I was about to try reaching you via your busness Email.

[jdjtcagle]

Wow, I wish I was older, I would know when a new "old" freespacer came

[Zarathud]

I 100% stand by my belief that Derek Smart is the wrong person for the community.  You may have "calmed him down" for now, but Derek does things his own way.  That's ok for *his* titles.  That's NOT ok for a franchise.

I'll try a demo of any game Derek makes, just not when it's someone else's idea he's running his OWN way.  He doesn't listen -- he flames back.  That's not the way to deal with a property established by someone ELSE.  All in all, I think Derek would only waste his money buying the FreeSpace license.

He should think about that.  And if he doesn't, at least I can say that I told him so.

[Stryke 9]

Zarathud: Yo, my "cred" be fine, dis not be my "hood" no mo', nigga. I be doin' de job for some homies o' mine, dig?

And you be gottin' no clue who dis Derek hata be. So learn to speak ****ing English and rent a clue. The fact that I haven't been around for a while doesn't change the fact that you're a ****stick.

I will never forget that, Rictor should have a talk with him

[WMCoolmon]

I can't believe they're already, well, mocking you Zara. I'd register, except I have a serious issue with agreeing to something that is only available if the other party wants it to be available. (Incidentally - IS the license agreement legally binding?)

They're worse than us when someone mentions Freespace 3, or that they have this new, ultimate theory to Capella, etc etc.

All I can say is that if THIS is the kind of Freespace fan for the future Freespace, well, I'm glad that I've been stereotyped against them. Hey, I didn't even have to do something offensive to piss them off at me...that's a first.

*agrees*
Was thinking the same thing

It's Pretty Fly, not Original Prankster! Get it right.

[LOA--Paul]

My god.  When I first started reading the thread, I thought he was generally interested in creating a good game with intense feedback from Volition and the Freespace community.  But when I saw how he totally blew off the SCP people, then insulted the work and the members I was angry.  

Why the hell doesn't THQ buy it and get Volition to make it again?  I'm sure they could advertise it better than Interplay.  (Or is Volition even still owned by THQ.  I haven't followed it at all very much until a friend sent me a link to that thread)

[Stryke 9]

Coolmon: Context, son, context. Where have you heard the word "****stick" recently?





That said, honored to be contrasted against you.

[Zarathud]

That's Stryke posing as Ryer.  Because by mocking me he's proving his maturity.  Oh, and encouraging me NOT to flame, dontcha know?
