Title: My PM to Venom
Post by: Rampage on August 09, 2003, 06:32:28 pm
I believe this is appropriate:

Quote

Rampage wrote to Venom in a PM saying:
Dear Venom,

The community often places you with the elite of the elite modelers in FS2 history.  You stand with Dark, Bobboau, and many other famed modelers.  Dark disappeared awhile back without releasing more than half of what he created.  You are our last hope for decent FS2 models.

You enticed the community to its feet again when you released the screenshots of what would be OTT and its models.  We as a community was galvanized back into action and became involved more in our works for FS2 because of that moment.  (I believe I speak for everyone when I said that, for it certainly gave me a boost in making Attempted Suicides.  I pumped out two models days after you released those enticing model screenshots.)  You are a true professional and leader in the field of MODding.  We can only call ourselves "apprentices" of a great model master.  None have surpassed you in modeling.  Inferno wouldn't be what it is without your contributions, and for that, Inferno will live on.

We as a community adore your work, whether if its behind the scenes or out in the open.  You are the quintessence of what modeling should be.  You have inspired newcomers to our community in MODding.  Because of your great works, our future can learn of the greatness of graphics design in Freespace.

We thus beseech you to keep your promises to the community.  You are responsible for creating millions out of hundreds.  Your models are one in a million.  So please, when you're not tied up, just spend five to ten minutes to organize and release those anticipated models you promised to donate to the community.  You thus inspire us further by contributing your wonderful work to bring out the muse that's in the heart of every Freespace 2 loving Terran, Vasudan, and Carl.

On behalf of the entire HLP community, I, Rampage, thank you for all the contributions you made physically and inspirationally to Freespace 2 and the people dedicated to it.

Sincerely,

Rampage
On Behalf of the HLP Community

Sorry for not being so sentimental and all, but it looks like you're trying to sweet talk him into giving more mods...

And as much as I'd like to get my hands on some of his MODs, I've never been a 'brown-noser'...

Venom! Give us your models! ;)  If not, I'll sit in the corner and whine, while rocking back and forth... :p

I wouldn't say it's the best models I've ever seen, but yeah, he's at least as good as me, if not more.

I've released the shivans ships I've done, and that's it.

*We are Rampage.  Lower your firewall and surrender your ships.  We will add your strike and capital crafts to Attempted Suicides.  Your exceptionary models will adapt to serve our campaign.  Resistance has always been and always will be - futile!*

I hate to say but, didn't you promise Shivan and misc ships?  So shouldn't the untextured Judas be in the pack too? [Runs - Hides]

Yeah i agree Venom is one of best modeler in HLP

but stil this is stupid thread there is lot good modelers like Ryx,Starcomm,Aldo,GE,Woomeister,Styxx,Bobboau, etc etc

Maby true, but that doesn't mean people should start kissing his ass or  build a statue of him in your town/city  to get his models. He decides when he releases them. And if he promised to release them then just wait until he makes a thread the download link is.  Instead of bothering him every time he visits the boards.


And as you said HIG there are more good modelers here at HLP.

Besides too much of this and you still won't get the models anyway cause he won't be able to get his massively swollen head through the door to get to his computer :D

[color=66ff00]I myself already have passed on my kudos to Venom for what can only be described as a rather bloody fantastic gift; the models for FSUpgrade. :nod:

If you guys want to see those models in action then your best bet is to help us out with the project. The project is designed to be open ended, once we get the intro done (10 odd missions) those models will be available for all to use in creating more content for FSUpgrade. It's not OTT, nothing can replace Venom's unique vision, but it's going to be influenced by OTT and hopefully will stand as a monument to the hard work that he, and others have done for the community.

I really wish oyu wouldn't give them all away venom.   I've done goodbyes like this.  Given everything away and then decided that there was no sense in hangin around.  

Ever think about teaching people to model?  That way we can increase the amount of quality modellers here.

and as far as it goes, i hope that some of you feel as guilty as you should.  after being too busy to help and allowing OTT to die, you swoop in and beg models from the guy.  Maybe if some people had been willing to help we would have gotten the models and he would have finished his project.

Another fine example of man's ability to be a selfish prick.

those of you who take offense and want to defend your position probably have a good reason for taking offense.  say whatever you need in your own defense to make yourselves feel better, i won't be reading this thread.

Seriously though, I think we should just help out with the fsupgrade project so we can get the models, it's obvious Venom isn't going to release them to us.

I for one usually don't make jokes about the French on the internet because I don't know exactly who I will offend.

Besides, pissing off Venom when he has all those models isn't good.:D

He never said he gave up. He said he was unable to complete alot of his work because he doesn't have the help he needs. That's not giving up, that's just dissapointing.:(

Plus I think we've made enough of those jokes...:doubt:

He SHOULD leave. He has defiled the holyness of Steak's post-count for long enough.

May he burn under the wrath and awesome majesty of the Great Arrays, when Setekh the divine returns to lead us to the promised land.

yeah, the shivan. the shivan mesh is done, but I dunno what to make with it. turning it into a pof would be stupid ( yeah! flying statue! ). My original plan was to first make the mesh, then alterate it to make shivan corpses ( and why not adding a few as debris for capships ).
misc ships: yeah, when I feel like it ( and guess what? right now I don't feel like it, I feel like: the more you ask, the less you'll have ).
Judas: you'll never have it, and will not even see it ( but yes, the mesh is done :p ). any question, any comment about it will be ignored. if you want to know about it, just make a search in the ott private forum, at least you'll know what it is. but that's it.

   Any chance you would allow the DH will be salvaged by the FS2Up project? :shaking:

"REPENT YOU SINNERS! For you DOOM is at hand!" :lol:


  Ever since I saw that screenshot I had been anticipating unleashing it against a horde of Shivans screaming, "Remember Capella you bastards!!!" :p   As you can see this is a moral imperative...

I thought you were saying you weren't leaving because of the cancelling of OTT, but that you had some other reason.
