I pissed in my friend's sink when I was drunk last night

[Yeaster]

Jesus Christ, why are you so sensitive? I wasn't even talking to you. I quoted you and bolded the part that I agreed with. Hence the "lol." I thought that part was funny. Lighten up.

Uhhh... way to take it wrong elkalo.

Whilst yeasters games ARE pretty dumb (no offence) I think he was saying that nerds (hatemailers) are picking on other nerds (S4D) for being a nerd (S4D)

There you go.

im not even gonna bother with this. just make sure that before calling someone a nerd again, you look at youre fucking retarded games first. then lets see whos the real nerd. me who actually has a life and bills to pay, or you who sits in your computer clicking buttons in rm for 6 hours a  day only to find out that your creations are really annoying and dumb.

You don't kow anything about me, what I do in my real life, or how many hours I spend "clicking buttons" (I'm not even home for 6 hours--not including sleep).




...And define "dumb?" The fact that my stuff aren't based on Final Fantasy or anime? ;p

You don't know anything about the other members lives either.

True, but we're posting on a gaming forum where the majority of the users are into game making (whether it's just a small hobby or something they're actually serious about). To an extent, we're all nerds, and that was the point I was trying to make.

I mean, there's nothing to be ashamed of really. Everyone that knows me knows I'm a closeted geek, cuz I tell 'em. No, I'm not the "socially-awkward-virgin" type (and I didn't say anyone here was either), but I'm into nerdy things (RPGs, Buffy, screenwriting....yeah).

Making games, writing stuff, posting it and then commenting on other people's works are nerdy things. Posting on a gaming forum is a nerdy thing. There is no "level" or "degree" of nerdiness. We're all nerds. Who cares?

I just thought it was a little ridiculous seeing certain posters pick on other posters (and I see that a lot here) for being "too geeky" when they're also geeks. Putting down other people so that you can feel better about yourself is never a good look.

And yeaster, I what I hate about your games are your facesets. They are HORRIBLE and inconsistent AND you use real live faces  :blarg:

No, we've actually checked into that shit, and it isn't us, or anyone who's really affiliated with us.

Seriously this whole 'it's cool to make fun of S4D' thing is gay.

why did i click this topic

[Lars]

i have no idea who s4d is except gz used his name and everyone talks about him in mod forum

ds i am wondering about the exact same thing

[Vellfire]

I figured it was G&D people sending him hatemail about the post that sent his warn level over the ban limit.

Or whatever G&D is nowadays I don't know

[Artis Leon Ivey Jr]

fyi i dont think he actually got any hatemail.

not that he's lying I think he's referring to posts calling him awful as hatemail.

[Brent Murray]

The following is a message for all three forums.

If you have been living under a rock or just have been too dumb to realize, that I've been gone for sometime and have just recently came back around these parts. After all the hate mail / bashing posts I have had in the past recent days, I had no choice to leave for awhile...to clear my head.

In the past few days it has became very clear to me that changes are needed in order to keep my sanity and work ethic as I strive forward to completing what appears to be a project on the verge of completion. Which if it goes thru, will be my first completed game and first time I have released a game to the public in over 6 long years.

Monopoly has single handily revived which I thought was something I could never get back since 2004, a determined work ethic and overall joy in getting up to work on my projects, it's much simple style and colorful design has given me new life and more awareness on what rm2k3 games should really be about! The fun factor, nothing more.

With that I have learned lessons on what and what not to do, and this has turned myself around, what was once a joke of a creator...has returned to his old self.

Although this is somewhat premature as we are still in the thick of things, problems have arisen, not will the game itself...but those are willing to receive it.

Various people and forums have pretty muched turned me off in all levels and aspects, and I will not point out certain people as you know who you are. But from what you said that I was what was wrong with game making, it is indeed YOU people that is wrong with game making itself, you put down those who are making things for your petty fun. How is that fun?

It just baffles my mind of some of the idiocy that goes on here in the forums, it really does.

Which is why I have decided to do the following with all three forums. (And I know of what I'm saying may result in a warn or ban...but I don't give a shit anymore!!!)

Gaming World
From now on I will not be coming by anymore, unless it is to post a shot / movie, make a game thread or post the odd thing in someone's project, you have pretty much killed what was great about game making and socializing with other people. You are the worst of the three boards. Shame on you! I have people giving me hate mail for something that isn't even out yet!!! People making topics of a FINISH OR BE BANNED shit, and my favorite part of all!!! One day you go from a hero that finally posted some damn gameplay shots...to the next questioning that if the bloody game is real or not. And now...being on the 5th month at 65% done with movies and shots galore. YOU STILL THINK IT'S NOT REAL!!! GOD!!!

However I will say this...things have improved slightly ever since the early part of the year, some of you have turned around. And for that...I say thank you. But we are a long way to fully seeing eye to eye again. Hopefully Monopolo's release will silence everyone. But I doubt that. I don't even think Soul Ninja or whatever game that is done next will do so either.

And I'm still one of the worst members here? Please.

So for that, I'm going to take GZ advice. Very rarely will I swing by. Unless it's something ground breaking, or posting about someone's else game. Like needing any help on a boss. I'm outta here.

RM Network
You guys have actually been pretty good to me despite of all of this stuff, which I have no beef with you guys. The only thing is that...I don't know a lot of you very well to really stay around here anymore. Also most of the members from GW are here too, so...um...you get the idea. Will probably swing by once Monopolo is done. But I need to leave you guys. Remember! You guys are awesome, it's just...I don't know anyone here. So goodbye! ^^

Star Ocean Eternity
I have known some of you ever since the old days of Claude Is A Jerk, and I guess I should thank that site because it made be discover not just rm2k3, but all of you as well. And I have seen it all! From the anime series, to the rise and fall of some sites / members, to SO3. Yep...it's been a hell of a ride.

But now it seems that people have changed and we have grown farther apart as a group. The only members that I see a lot around here are Jesse & Cutepiku, everyone else is different or new. We don't talk about the same thing anymore, and you would think with me FINALLY getting a XBox 360 and be able to get Star Ocean 4 now. I don't really know anymore, because my brother could sell it any moment. Which is also why I'm a bit scared to buy any Xbox games.

Whenever I look at this black forum, I see nothing from the old days, the days of Zelnack, Heavenly Orb, the classic days. And despite they will always be there with me. I have to move on, and so does everyone else. If Monopolo has shown me anything, is that change is sometimes a good thing. And you can't be afraid of what is to come and what has passed. Move on and deal with.

It really does suck, because this post seems like a stab in the back. But times have changed, and so have I. It sucks to leave you guys for good...but I have no choice.

Leno, Hullo, Dragon Eyes...they are the fallen people I no longer see, and Reebi seems to be up there now. I guess I should add my name up there.

If Monopoly gets done, I'm not sure if I will post the thread here, as I'm questioning that. But if I do. I will post the link to it! ^^



---

I do once again realize that I will be banned for this. (probably on GW) but that is the whole story. Monopolo is getting made, and I have now left RMN & SOE.

Hopefully this hate mail / bashing shit can end, and we can be friends again. But until then, I'm going to have fun and work on the Monopolo, so we can release it quicker! ^^

~ S4D

P.S: Strangeluv it's Oct 1 tomorrow, but fuck man I will never forgive you if I'm banned because I missed the date. People change their release dates all the time! The sooner the better now. But I also don't wanna rush. As long as I'm making progress, then that's all I can do. Nothing more. And speaking of progress, I'm going to make some more. ^^

more awareness on what rm2k3 games should really be about! The fun factor, nothing more.

just because it's indie/a hobby doesn't mean you can do it shit

i collect rocks its not like i collect every single fucking generic rock out there because that would be stupid. just because it's RPG Maker doesn't mean you can just pull the "doing it for fun card". while most of the standards set by the RPG Maker community are absolutely retarded (hello 3 tile rule.), there are a few that should still be held to, namely because they are actual game design rules and basic stuff like that.

basically you're saying we shouldn't have the ability to call a game that is like 9 tiles and a hero start position with a message box going "FUCK YOU !!!!!!!" bad because the maker did it for "fun" which is totally posh. Everyone does everything they do for fun, or else they wouldn't do it, and that doesn't mean you can't criticize it. Basically you're pulling the card that has long been the problem in the RPG Maker community, unlike other indie communities there is an entire subsection of users who can't take real criticism that is based in actual game design. stuff like "this game sucks because it's not jRPG enough for me" like some of the people in that paint game topic were doing is really dumb when it was an actual solid game with a fairly unique graphic design, but if it was bad because of some game design principle you can't just go JUST FOR FUN.

basically learn to take criticism or stop game making. you can't do an art and automagically protect your work from all criticism, good or bad.

i'm ready for the monopolo revolution!

[Vellfire]

when you advertise the hell out of your game like you do, then you can't just say "DOING IT FOR FUN"...you put it out for the public, you have an audience now, and have to deal with the fact that people are going to say negative things about it...if you REALLY want it to be just for fun, then you can't really PUT IT OUT THERE the way you did...i mean yeah you could ask for help, but you can't make huge posts advertising the thing and get upset when someone responds to your advertisement


it's the difference between drawing for yourself and doing a public art exhibition man
