Title: Slow and steady wins the race ! :D
Post by: Vasudan Commander on March 07, 2009, 04:25:15 am
I thought i'd brighten up the BWO forum area , and rather than have a whinging whining nobody come here saying 'you're no good, its never coming out, blah blah blah etc', i'd like to compliment you guys on what you've done thus far.

I have my suspicions that you're witholding a GREAT deal of content that has been completed, and when you're bursting at the seams with awesome goodies to show HLP, you'll explode them all over the forums and it'll drive everyone nuts  :D

Keep it up guys  ;)

Man, now you're just making me feel bad about doing nothing.

Why would you do that.

On a lighter note, Raven should be showing something I believe in the not too distant future. We'll see how that goes. Ask him.

OH SWEET LORD

Go read the interview that was just posted in the Interview forums. There are Sol ships from BWO. They are orgasmic.

BWO IS DEAD! IT WILL NEVER BE RELEASED! YOU'RE ALL JUST WASTING YOUR TIME! I'LL BET YOU CAN'T FINISH IT!

I recently played the BWO demo for the first time. It was...really good.

You are a ray of sunshine in the dark skies of BWO's development.

Post by: Snail on March 13, 2009, 02:28:29 pm
You are just saying that in hopes that it will motivate them to put it out sooner to prove your statement wrong. Too bad it almost certainly won't work. I would like to play this campaign too, but I won't think about it much in the meantime.
Why is u always taking things srsly man.

The funny thing about that aesop is that it wasn't the original version.

The original was "underdeveloped talent fails against actual persistence." Or something like that.

You know, the naysaying is annoying, I'll grant, but it brings up a good point.  If this isn't released yet, why is it in the Released board category?    :P
Title: Re: Slow and steady wins the race ! :D
Post by: Snail on March 15, 2009, 09:15:27 am
It released a demo. So technically it's partially released.
Title: Re: Slow and steady wins the race ! :D
Post by: IceFire on March 15, 2009, 09:48:29 am
We may re-release the demo at some point as well.  With a few upgrades.
Title: Re: Slow and steady wins the race ! :D
Post by: IceFire on March 15, 2009, 08:20:49 pm
Yeah since it is still not SCP compatible, huh? Or maybe that changed?
That would be one good reason for a re-release, yes.

Well, it's just strange.

Post by: Droid803 on March 25, 2009, 10:49:36 pm
I'm not being insulting or anything. I think you're completely misunderstanding things.

I simply said that we only point it out because periodically purging their posts on a forum isn't something people usually do, not because we are obsessed about it or anything of the sort.

In fact, especially on other forums, people try spam to get their post count as high as they can. 
Title: Re: Slow and steady wins the race ! :D
Post by: Droid803 on March 26, 2009, 12:13:21 am
Yeah, spamming to increase post count doesn't make sense.

However, if you just purge your posts, it makes people reading the thread later miss possibly important information, not to mention breaking the flow of the thread so that it may no longer make sense (especially if someone was replying to a statement without quoting). That's why I find post-purging strange (in a neutral way).

Urgh, this is massively off topic now.
Title: Re: Slow and steady wins the race ! :D
Post by: eliex on March 26, 2009, 12:43:01 am
Which doesn't make sense. I don't care about the post count. Sorry but I think to worry about post count is childish. I don't mean you guys, just people in general who care too much about it in any forum on the net. Why is it important to worry about post count like so many people do? It is strange to worry about post count so much and spam too much to increase post count. Do you guys think so?

I totally agree with you: post count doesn't affect the quality of the posts themselves.
However, I was just contrasting the different ideas behind posts based on spammers and Droid's explanation.  :)

I saw the title of the thread below this one (This mod will never be released!), and the following was my first reaction:

/me would like to tell trolls to suck a hole until their face implodes.

Keep in mind that all I did was read the title, not the content. :nervous:

But Snail and Mobius do, or did in the past.
People do not spam for a reason. They spam for the sake of spamming - One does not spam in order to accomplish a certain amount of posts, only to stop later. The purpose of posting is posting. The purpose of spam is spam.

Oi. He was always a good man. Just that people at the time thought it was "fashionable" to flame him.

You know, outside of the classic fable I can't actually think of a single 'race' won by a slow and steady competitor.

Who exactly is BWO racing against? Hasn't it lost the race? The other feature creeper, Silent Threat: Reborn, was released months ago. :p

I'm getting really tired of your crap. I understand you don't want to get yourself hyped up only to be disappointed. It's happened to me enough times and I try hard to avoid it nowadays, but we don't need to be reminded of your take on things with every single post you make on this board. A realistic outlook is commendable, but some of us choose to remain optimistic, so stop being a downer.

Look, let's all just let High Max do his thing, okay? He's not hurting anyone.

He clearly has a bit of, um, a 'special' outlook. We should be accepting.

I try to stay hands off in projects forums, but guys, please keep it civil - both of you (redsniper and High Max). Take it to PM, at least there you don't disrupt forum operations.

And while entertaining for a short while this thread I believe has ceased to be useful to maintaining good forum relations.  Everyone has said their bit.  Lets discuss something more fun while the team works away.
