So, while I was yet again unjustly banned for no reason without doing anything wrong, I decided to spend my time on this mission. It's the first time I've used FRED in years, so don't expect anything great.
Mods: None
Required: I made it in FRED 3.6.12, so you should probably have FS2 Open version 3.6.12 at least

Let's try again, with less drama.
DarthWang: Your banning was entirely justified. Claiming it wasn't will only lead to further bans.
-
How was it justified?
-
By your behaviour. By the posts and PMs presented as evidence.
-
That doesn't explain anything. What specific rules did I break?
-
The rule of not having common sense.
-
You violated the following:
HLP will not tolerate any posts of a racist, sexist or bigoted nature. Nor shall we tolerate any attacks of a personal nature.
-
I never said anything racist or sexist or bigoted (unless you consider bashing on anime fans to be bigotry, in which case I suggest you move to Iran and discover what real bigotry is like), and I never attacked anyone, I just gave constructive criticism.
-

Yeah, no.
-
That was constructive criticism, with a few jokes added in.
I think your problem is you have no sense of humor
That also doesn't explain my second ban
-
So now that all of the drama seems to be over, is someone going to actually play this?
-
Points one and two are direct personal attacks. No humour, no satire, just plain old "You are gay and retarded!" sandbox-level namecalling.
That is why you were banned the first time.
You were banned the second time because you tried to argue (unsuccessfully) that the first ban was unjustified. You will be banned a third time if you keep this up.
-
is someone going to actually play this?
I read it.
I lol'd. A bit.
-
I was criticizing his taste and work, calling that retarded, not the poster himself.
However he has directly insulted me on several occasions now. He's broken the rules more than I have. Why not ban him? Double standards?
-
I was criticizing his taste and work, calling that retarded, not the poster himself.
Uh, point two. Calling him a bad person because he likes anime. Seems to be directed at him, no?
-
I just said he would be a much better person for giving it up, just like someone would be a better person for reading the classics, or learning a new sport
-
Implying that liking something not in one person's tastes makes them the scum of the Earth.
-
Stop putting words in my mouth
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but attacking a subculture with little to no basis other than it being "retarded" roughly qualifies as bigotry, no?
Could we not reword that rule as something which isn't as open to pointless interpretation...how about:
"HLP politely requests that you all be nice to each other."?
-
I was being nice to him, by giving him suggestions on how to improve on his campaign and such
-
:wtf:
-
Is this in regard to the mission, or the discussion in the thread?

There is not enough facepalm in this world for this fellow.

Hey, I tried to give you some good advice, but then you just flamed me and became all stuck up, so not my fault :rolleyes:
-

I do want to play the mission and give you feedback, but it's likely the thread will be locked sooner than I can download it, play it, and write up a review. I'd just leave it as it is and get back to FREDding.
-
Nobody lock the thread, and everybody stop talking about stuff that doesn't have to do with the mission please
-
Stuff that you totally didn't brought up on yourself by what you wrote in the first post.
-
I said cut it out, and I only wrote that because it was true
-

The moderators and admins and all the sane members disagree with you.
-
Talk about the mission or go away
-
1/10, needs gargants and kraken
-
Good grief....
Yes, the Ban was fully justified. And no, I won't lock this thread if people will stop arguing and actually discuss the matter at hand.
-
1/10, needs gargants and kraken
They are there, sort of...
-
One of the best (and funniest) release threads so far.
-
One of the best (and funniest) release threads so far.
But what about the mission itself?
-
Not enough jokes or anime references. Too unlike Star Control 2. Ships had too many polygons and were too matte. Grangants were insufficiently explicit.
Insufficient quantities of repressed homosexuality; further releases should include more.

You didn't even play it, did you?

Someone actually post something relevant, please :rolleyes:
-
The more you demand legitimate criticism the more I want to post some random **** that doesn't relate.
IOW, stop pushing, you'll get some eventually.
-
I WANT REAL REVIEWS :/
-
nobody plays single missions
you should have marketed it as a one-mission campaign.
-
nobody plays single missions
I do, quite often in fact
-
then you're the exception that proves the rule
-
Hey could you get another mirror? For some reason I can't download from that filedropper. :warp:
-
No starfield.pof.
The background was generally dull.
The mission tries too hard to be funny.
I blew up the cargo container hauled by the NT O GAWD I ALMOST MESSDED UP I MEANT GT whatever and the station exploded.
No Gargants. Nuff said.
-
Added alternate download link to the OP
-

You weren't supposed to do that
No Gargants. Nuff said.
Only because the Gargant hasn't actually been released yet.
Although if you look closely you can find a very small Gargant...

Well, I did. It can't be my fault if that makes the mission act all wonky.
-
Do I really need to add a bunch of failsafes to make my missions completely idiot-proof against whatever crazy stunt someone tries to pull?

In short: Yes.

I'm sure Spoon did. In WoD. You know, that campaign that supposedly sucks so much :7

Wouldn't know, I just looked at the vp files :ick:
-
SO... I played the mission and it's pretty decent.
*Kind of a funny mission, tricking the player and all that. Is it possible to beat by killing the freighter? I didn't try.
Don't give enemy ships such silly names... Distraction wing and weretrickingyou... Well dunno to each his own.
-
Destroy the freighter and you're a traitor (hey, that rhymed)

You didn' even played the campaign and you said the campaign sucks? Oh c'mon...
-
I looked at the mission in notepad and I can safely conclude that ****sux and its not worth even trying.

Hey, this is DarthWang. Anyone who's seen his "constructive criticism" should know he's special :P
From reading the mission I can tell it's mediocre at best. The ship names are just ridiculous and the dialogue is a complete travesty
-
Whilst part of me is enjoying the 'reap what you sow' mentality of this thread, it's rapidly descending into complete chaos.
Last Chance, if you haven't played the mission, don't post, if you have then feel free to give feedback.
-
I didn't play it because it would be too painful and awful. But I looked though the vp files very thoroughly in order to get the plot and crap down, that's how I could tell it was ripping off SC2
-
Can I at least use the GLaDOS "that's how dumb you sound" quote :7
Aww, OK
well, the mission itself warranted a chuckle. Blowing up the container breaks the mission, of course, and there are minor problems such as the missing starfield.pof and nebulae and the all-defaults loadout and the humor that drops an anvil on subtlety- but all in all, it's, while not necessarily a decent mission, not entirely terrible.
[EDIT] Wang just ripped on WOD again are we doin' this 'cause I got GLaDOS quotes ready
-
Don't worry about the GLaDOS quotes, but I was tempted, I must admit.
I've given this thread more time than it actually deserved, in the hope that something, anything productive might come of it, I chose to ignore the fact that the Author didn't exactly start on the best foot, but it's just turned into a complete cluster****.
Had that merely been a question of the community giving a bit of Karma back to Darthwang for his previous behaviour, I might have considered splitting, but it seems to me that nothing really has changed.
-
As far as I'm concerned Karma has been repaid for DarthWang's foolish trashing of WoD and his resulting ban(s). I'm warning everyone that this better be the end of the matter.
