ORIGINAL: mjk428 CrusssDaddy's [sic] prior history is irrelevant. He's a current forum member in good standing. You are entirely incorrect, with respect to his prior history of participation on this thread. No one is obliged, every single time CrusssDaddy leaves some turd of a post whinging about or insulting others, to treat it as a brand new event, leaving out of consideration all the other times he has done the exact same thing. Rather, his posts are best viewed in light of the context of the posts surrounding them, and in light of his total contribution to the thread. That you suggest otherwise (by asserting his prior posting history is "irrelevant") is, suffice to say, a questionable line of argument. Also, what do you mean by "in good standing" (other than "hasn't done anything/enough to merit being banned by Matrix forum administration"), and who are you to decide what it is (apart from the minimal definition I have outlined)? quote:
Warspite's post was the polar opposite of appropriate. Matrix knows first-hand what an "amateur hour" this project has been. No point in trying to shield them from what is "self-evident" and "obvious". There's little reason to believe that now, all of a sudden, after years of misinformation, broken promises and missed deadlines, that any promises of future additions to this project will ever see the light of day in promised form. But you believe what you want and others will believe what they want. However, personal insults should not be tolerated. In light of years' worth of thorough posts by Steve discussing the work in progress, "years of misinformation, broken promises and missed deadlines" is wildly inaccurate, so much so that I can scarcely conceive it being anything other than deliberately so; as there's none so blind as those who will not see, I suppose such nonsense can be chalked up to (unflattering) ignorance on your part. Until the last few days, to my knowledge no formal or official release date for MWiF was ever provided by Matrix or Steve. Early on, Steve issued what turned out to be overly optimistic forecasts for completion, but these are not promises. What is more, unless you are privy to inside information with respect to Steve's dealings with Matrix, who are you to say deadlines have been missed, or even what the deadlines are/were? You should go reread the "Matrix Seals the Deal..." announcement from 10 (ten) years (a decade) ago. Review that list of bulleted game features -- what percentage, after 10 years of work, made it to the game? Is it really so egregious, reviewing that list and noting truthfully the percentage accomplished in all this time, to characterize the effort as amateur hour or to remark upon stated promises (maybe better termed "hopes?"), information and deadlines that turned out to fall well short of reality? [SPOILER ALERT -- The answer is "20%" after ten years, twenty-percent.] If I'd disliked a game to the piont that you do, I would´nt go to that forum no more. The energy that you hate it must be at level psykopatic
