that was the plan, but whatever.
i dont think id will go for ql custom maps anyway, maybe for the cellphone ports of quake or doom they make a deal with jamba, where you can buy wads with great never seen before content for some fixed price for a whole month long and if you forget to send the cancel message even for a year [:
sadly atm id is kinda acting like the metallica fags - first you make some awesome cool stuff and let your fans taperecord the live shows back in the 80s and if you have become some rich douche you cut your hair and become the first band to sue napster.
and they also said wolf would in no way be like bullshit cod!

Seriously though. Did you really, really think this was a good idea? Really?
Was definitely worth to invest 5 minutes time to convert it.
Disagree.
Nothing was mapped

The mistake you made was to post a ripped off map on a forum frequented by people whose hobby it is to create original maps, so not only is what you've done unimpressive by their standards, it's also mildly disrespectful.

This is actually one of the most played maps in q2, and since plenty of others from previous games have been converted to ql, perhaps you could cut the guy some slack.
he didn't say it was original work. hence the remake part.
get the hell over yourselves, and if you want respect (or others to treat you with it) you can earn it by not being mouthy pieces of shit and belittling someone for converting more content to a form usable in a newer game.
I guess the guys who made the generations mod were just all a bunch of rippoff artists by your "standards".

You aren't id software, and I dont see them taking up a lawsuit over a 10+ year old resource from a game that is open source now.
The map comes with the free patch of the game up to v 3.20.
Which you can apply over the free demo of q2 to make a fully working multiplayer game.
FOR FREE.
id doesn't give a shit, so why should you, and why should you be so vocal about it?

I don't care about his/her non-points and non-evidence.
I do care that he's acting like a douche for no apparent reason other than he's sick and tired of people thinking they know better than he does.
couple that with the bashing of a guy's contribution who probably had no idea that he'd generate such a "legit modder" backlash for releasing some content ripped from another game, on a board where people regularly post content that is ripped from other games, and you'll get why I'm posting.
Mappers don't all start out making their own shit from scratch. They often try converting something they like from one game to another just to learn how mapping works for a certain game.
If they all got crapped on at this point over some copyright non-issues, based on intellectual property laws in one country that are completely ludicrous, none of them would get beyond that point and make original content.
they'd probably just think modders are stuck up.

Funny you should mention that . . .
Mappers don't all start out making their own shit from scratch.
Most do? Very few mappers will convert something as their first attempt at mapping because it means having knowledge of both games as well as the more complex tools needed to make the conversion.
Word to the wise - when you're spouting transparent bullshit remember that there are people who know what you're talking about who will call you out on it.

Just come down guys, I can understand your point of view - but I think you took it a bit to personal. Didnt mean to degrade any of your work, nor to say i got any mapping skills at all. As I said I didnt even made the q3 conversion, why I called it 'conversion of converted q2dm1', and didnt remember who made that one.
To name Willtis wasnt relevant, because everybody knows that.
I posted the map here because I think its a cool site and i thought some people might wanna have it BECAUSE it was so close to the original.
The understand the argument that it wasnt worth to convert in the first place only, if I look at it from the 'developing' perspective.
That's the problem, we got here.
Because I dont care about any textures, lighting or other fancy stuff. I guess with my cfg and picmip settings I wouldnt be able to see stuff like that anyway.
But in terms of gameplay, design and item placement the edge is such a clever made map, which most of the mp maps today are simply not.
I also prefer the original textures, because I love the old q2 look.
Its totally ok you deleted it, because this is your site and you can do whatever you want.
kk?
And when I said wolf has some similarity with the horrible CoD I was talking about the MP. For me thats what matters in a rtcw sequel.

....chill out a little.
People like Willem and Megmn always go on about licenses and copyright because they have to deal with the real side of it.
Hobbyists and Quake1 modders have had huge epic battles over the issue in the past. Some of the guys here actually hate some of the other guys because they will/wont release the sources to their mods (!)
Its not an argument which is going to be resolved on this thread. There have been threads dedicated to the topic in the past which have failed to do anything except spread bad karma.
Which is, btw, what you are doing, or trying to do by flame baiting everyone here.
TBH converting a hugely popular Quake2 map to QuakeLIVE is kinda cool but I think somewhere between trying to encourage you to re-make the map from scratch, or in a format which people can actually PLAY the map online, this has gone horribly wrong.
Now there's one or more person with their feelings fondled, and animosity has sprung out of a bit of fun.
And some people are just enjoying the argument, others are participating AND enjoying it.....

Should we just stand around waiting to get our ears raped with repetitive crap about copyrights "because someone has to deal with the real side of them"?
I don't think so.
Someone should go back to working on the real side of them, and perhaps fuck off, instead of repeatedly jumping up and down about some shit that will never be relevant, in a thread that's now dead, thanks to people like him with a giant stick in their ass.
Is iD going to sue this guy for copyright infringement on a hastily made rip of someone elses rip of one of the maps that they freely distribute with a patch? NO?
Then shut your fucking mouth about it.
BTW, I do make maps textures and models, and I have repeatedly helped others start making them who've asked me "how can I convert this map, since I'm not any good with brushes?"

I'm sorry for the controversy caused with this, and I'm sorry if deleting the news item is the wrong thing to do.
I don't feel as strongly as other people on this site about copyright abuse, but I do feel the resulting arguing and several very bitchy anonymous posts (NOT yours explaining your side, they are fine) are not beneficial to the site nor communication about mapping. Ideally metlslime would move this to a discussion thread and perhaps something useful could be hammered out about the role of copyright in non-profitable conversions and whether they should be promoted.

I doubt "willem" gives a crap about what's beneficial to your site unless it directly effects the number of people subjected to reading his mindnumbing elitist responses.

To be honest, posting anonymously [a person would have to impress me GREATLY to make me bother memorizing/backtracking their IP] marginalizes anything the poster wanted to say. Unlucky anon(s), your hard-fought argument is ultimately worthless.

apparently you guys can dish it out with gusto when some new mapper puts up something he spent a little time on, but you can't take a bit of criticism from an "anon" when you take 15 seconds to post some absolute tripe.
I'm not surprised.
For the record, I haven't said or implied any of the shit you just mentioned, and you're just grasping at straws and mouthstuffing to develop some semblance of a reason to post.
your comments went from "peace love and let everyone just disagree" to "fuck off" in the course of one hour, when I didn't even address a comment to you.
I think we know who is the reasonable one here, and it's not you brother.
I understand your point: Some criticism is useful. You don't seem to understand the ones I was repeatedly trying to get thru:
1. All criticism is not useful, like spirits "Your map is fugly"
2. People crapping on this guys map contribution and declaring it illegal are not doing anyone any good.
3. Copyright laws are only applicable in their country of origin if the someone who actually holds them cares about the content covered, not all over the fuckin net like some sort of all encompassing commandment from god

Get the fuck over it, it's a little colorful name above a post. The content of the post is what matters not how many times you've +1'd someone else's comments to swell your postcount, or how long you've been a member at whatever forum/board/community.

The little colourful name above the post helps to create a broader picture of the poster and better contextualize what they're saying. First impressions are very important, both online and off. My first impressions of Ricky and Willem have both been very positive, so although I don't agree with them one hundred percent of the time, I am more willing to thoroughly read what they have to say because I have some assurance that they won't waste my time. My first impression of you is not good, as my only experience of you has been this ridiculous thread overflowing with angsty bullshit.
You clearly want your opinion to be heard and respected [otherwise why bother posting it?], yet you're completely unwilling to open yourself up to closer scrutiny by revealing anything more than an IP address. All this suggests is that you're ashamed of the rubbish you're spouting, and don't want it to come back and bite you in the arse on a future visit.
And yes, compared to you I do think I'm something special, but that's not saying a lot.

This thread is a great read with valid points on both sides. When scar3crow contacted Romero to get the id1 map sources released, q1edge wasn't in there but maps like dm7 were and I never read the news item or look at the screenshots.
Anyways ...
Some of the guys here actually hate some of the other guys because they will/wont release the sources to their mods
"hate" is a mighty strong word; disappointed or a feeling of deception is a better substitute.
Ricky, I hope you don't truly believe the issues some have with a certain mod are related to "that they won't release the source code."
The issues that some people have is that the mod was talked about being open source, was said it was done for the community and then AFTER all the sweet talk and soliciting the community for years for ideas for the mod CHANGED their minds with no explanation for the change of heart.
This is what I call false pretenses.
It's just a game, the people behind the mod are very helpful to the community and have done many great deeds.
And yet the idea of trying to achieve widespread support through sweet talk only to have the story turn out differently ONLY AFTER widespread support is achieved is an ignoble act.
And 2 of the most hailed "mods" of that mod are in fact actual mods: Warpspasm and that one with the sound that can be turned off and on (I can't recall the name at the moment.
What is the point of an unmoddable mod? Especially when the 2 greatest works are mods of the mod?
It isn't really an expansion pack, but a limitation pack as a result.
You get new features to play with and map with, but unlike id1 or hipnotic you LOSE the ability to make modifications.
So it is not a net positive but rather 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
As RPG once said, if you like Quake today you are a defacto supporter of Open Source because you are using a modified engine which is what makes skyboxes, enhanced limits and so forth even possible.
Enough said. I just saw a comment that was either poorly phrased or the author of the comment only has a limited understanding of the issue and the history and for once I felt chatty.
One of the guys behind the mod in question is my favorite mapper of all time.

I know that laws are laws, but I dont solute any flags, and sometimes laws should and can be bent, twisted and occasionally snapped.
As long as no-one gets hurt, or ripped off financially (short or long term) then I fail to see where the harm is. And if it's just a matter of principal for some people then fine, I guess I will never see eye to eye with those people (on some things).

However, what I take issue with is the weak sauce justifications that these clowns often use to justify it. If they could stop that crap, I could stop breaking their balls over it.

haven't been here for maybe half a year. I didn't see the original post, but when did func people start getting so worked up about someone making a bad quality rip?
Who cares? Some old id map for some newer id game...
It may be against the law but that's beside the point.
It's a bit like copying books that are long out of print. (Which may not be against the law but that's besides the point too.) Those who own the printing plates / rights to the material just don't bother to print any new books, even if there is demand. So they voluntarily have removed themselves from the picture.
You are providing useful services to people and not taking profit away from anyone.
Ethics is more important than the law.
There are lots of Q1 maps having Q3 textures here and there for example... I don't really know the legal issues with this and nobody in their right mind couldn't get that worked up. Mind somewhat, yes, it'd be nice if there were free textures and a completely free Quake release, with new sounds and all, and still paying some stylistic homage...
But all in all this whole rip not such a big thing.
It Seems

They forget that we can just scroll up the page and see where they're contradicting themselves.
On the other hand I agree with alot of what was said by most. There aren't sides in this, unless everyone has their own.
As to the discussion, there's a certain amount of leeway in modding and mapping to do what you like. You only hear about legals stepping in when it's a movie license.
Anyway, welcome to Func on behalf of the elitist name owning albino (for lack of sunlight) masses.

I heard there was this leet pro MAPPER called zlz, who is already working really really hard on the offline QL version of q2dm1.
I think he also did the level design for the smash hit Super Noah's Ark 3D, which was even ported to the famicon.

I wouldn't close this thread, there's too much actual discussion going on. Too bad half of it is flames, but so it goes.
I do think it would be a good idea to leave up the original thread post text and links for posterity, if there was any way to recover them (note to self: save version history of edited threads.)
And the original news item, while maybe not that interesting, isn't some sort of crime against the internet, though I guess shambler is right that it doesn't really fit into the category of things we typically post news about, such as new user-made maps and mods, new engines, new mapping tools, etc.
Actual question: since you can't play against other humans using custom quake live maps, what is this for? Just playing against bots?

Wasn't the main argument for converted textures in Quake1 maps that Q1 is archaic, unplayed except for us and a few scary QW players (who do far worse things to the engine imo) and generally forgotten about, so converting things _to_ it was illegal but irrelevant.
Converting content to QL is a different matter. That's a currently played game with at least some modern relevance, therefore more of an issue when illegal material for it is released.
And that's without mentioning the 100s of hours it takes to create a map using stolen textures vs script-kiddie converter fun.
Oh, and couple of points on Willem and copyright; firstly, he's got better at not mentioning this (and I'm normally the first to bite him when he does), but he works at Epic and was a senior on Gears of War 2 (among various other uber games you'll have played). Since you seem to be questioning his credentials to comment on this (which rates kinda higher than the 'content' of posts which are mostly poorly formed insults).
Secondly, you posted a link to the stolen work you created and admitted to it's creation on a server hosted in the US. Therefore, US copyright law does apply (although it also applies in most countries with international agreements anyway) and more importantly, under the DMCA legislation is a crime for which you _can_ be prosectuted internationally... US law may not be all encompassing, but neither is the internet some magically place immune from the laws of countries that host it's infrastructure.
Oh, and terrible, ugly, script-converted, badly scaled, lazy and stolen maps we mind less than moronic arguments supporting them...
Hmm

google 'logical fallacies' before you use another 'appeal to authority' to back your arguement that somehow he's right in acting like a knowitall douche because he works at some company that makes games for kiddies.
while you're at it, try to guess how many dollars this ZLZ guy would be stealing from id by releasing a free map for their free game (QL) to be used freely in single player against bots.
next, while you're pondering, take note that I'm not the guy who made the map, and he didn't bother to even talk about your illegal copyright infringement hoohaa.
He hasn't insulted any of you, yet you are still harping on him and his 'work' like an a prick elitist modder, because you think you know so much that you dont have to bother reading the thread.

...amid all the shit flinging, I don't have any particular legal beef with any of this (even though I work in the industry). I frankly just don't care enough about that aspect of it when it comes to one person screwing around with one map. I'm guessing that id has plenty of money and lawyers, should they choose to take any action, and they don't need my help.
My beef is posting a map that's a straight auto-conversion across a couple of different tool sets with no concern whatsoever paid to scale or player speed or game balance or any of those things.
I've played some Generations remakes and some of them are pretty damn cool. They look and play great because of the time and care and effort that went into the process of remaking them in a thoughtful way, and changing things that needed changing.
Put a bit more effort into making something cool and you'll find that this community is pretty quick to encourage and praise. This map took five minutes (by your own admission) and looks like a bag of boiled assholes. I'm not sure what you were expecting.

I haven't stated that I hate all of you, or that I think all of you suck at all, or that "I don't care" in general.
When I mentioned not caring it was in reference to willem continuously posting things that were not in any way useful or informative. I don't care if he continues to do so, because like the rest of you, I see his little baby blue name and just skip the crap he posts that contains no actual content or arguments.
I haven't mentioned hate once.
I do think people that trash a relative newbie modder over something as silly as a quick rip of a popular map really do suck. But, you ALL did not do that. Just a select few to whom my comments were directed, and I never said they suck. I said they were stuck up elitist pricks who seem to believe that their copious amount of free time gives them the right to put down others who dont have so much time to make original content.
To answer your question tho, you can scoll up and read the part where I mentioned that someone from another community had linked me here after having a laugh about how uptight people were being about a non-issue such as this guy making a rip of a quake map for another quake game.
I came here to observe the asshattery, and I decided, once I was here, that I would enjoy myself at the expense of certain raging dicks who are overly concerned about copyright law and who feel it is disrespectful to them that a guy liked someone elses work enough to copy it to a new media and post it for others to try out.
Essentially, I came to observe the uptight stupidity, noticed how easy it would be to generate more stupidity from the people who were posting, and decided to stir the pot for more action.
Considering the number of people claiming this to be the best thread in a while, I think I succeeded in at least infusing some life into this internet backwater, even if I didn't convince one of you to take a step back and stop crapping on this guy for making a quick rip that hurt nobody and that you didn't have to comment on in the first place.

My problem with this is : Everyone has every right to put down anyone and everyone, for absolutely no reason at all, justified or not. It really has nothing to do with elitism.
By saying that we can't/shouldn't put down a guy who made a quick rip of someone else's map, you're basically saying that you yourself shouldn't be shitting on people who shit on that guy, since the comment itself hurt nobody, and was in fact harmless in and of itself. Yet you went ahead and did it anyway.

"The mistake you made was to post a ripped off map on a forum frequented by people whose hobby it is to create original maps, so not only is what you've done unimpressive by their standards, it's also mildly disrespectful. "
Does this not stink of 'elitism' to you?
Who the hell has the right to feel like they've been treated disrespectfully by this guy who didn't intentionally do anything to them or even know of their standards?
I get your point tho and I agree to some degree.
Insulting people for the sake of entertaining conversation is fine and we all have the right to do so. I do it all the time.
where we may differ is here:
Doing it out of some belief that you're actually better than those others is not fine.
It's actually really lame.
The difference between what I did and what certain people here did, really lies in where the speaker was coming from.
I'm shitting on people for being obviously lame: they were shitting on a guy and his work over what amounts to nothing and acting like they were victims when in fact they were the aggressors.
Those people were shitting on this guy for doing something that he didn't even know would not live up to their 'high' standards.
I shit on them for not living up to fairly universal standards in human societies that say you shouldn't act like a dick to people over nothing. Yes I personally wasn't wronged by them, but that doesn't mean I can't tell them that they were wronging someone else and mock them for thinking they are justified in doing so.

text-fish stated that you're all wronged by saying that what the guy did was disrespectful to anyone who frequents this board, when in fact the guy was just uninformed and meant no disrespect. not one of you said "hey I dont feel like what he did was disrespectful".
If you interpret what the 'mapper' stated, he didn't even know he was being disrespectful, and as such there's no way he would feel justified in doing something that he didn't even realize he was doing.
Effectively, the regs here were mocking a guy and treating him disrespectfully over nothing, because no one should have been wronged (or felt that they were being treated poorly) by the act of posting a map.
It's obvious that his intent was to give you all something that he thought was of value.
What he got in return was a bunch of mean-spirited shit from people who are judgemental and who decided that his gift wasn't good enough for them, and stupidly took it as some sort of insult.

I do care about quake modding and people being willing to continue doing it.
When I came in here and saw people crapping on a guy over nothing, who was just trying to put forth his latest effort at adding something to the games, I was insulted and worried about the future of PC game modding if this is what it's communities foster.
I regularly assist others who show any want to learn how to make new assets for games, even if they are inexperienced.
I started making content for other's games as a young adult a year or so after duke3d was released. I've tried my hand at quake, C&C, CS, Unreal, and a few other games as well over the years.
I wrote a few games in old qbasic in elementary and middle school and created and distrubted games that I made in C++ and visual basic to my friends in high school.
In recent years, I've made from scratch and released 10 maps for quake2, and I've done some skinning, work on some mapping contests, helped with a couple of mods and a tiny bit of 3d modelling when I had the time. None of it is professional quality stuff but it's all original and I don't feel like this guy's 'work' was disrespectful to me or any other level headed modder who does this for fun and for the sake of having new cool stuff in games that they love.
As a modder myself, I think some of you give us a bad name by acting the way that you do.
I especially dislike guys who knowingly fuck up entire game genres, for profit, by shoehorning them into crappy console games for a living, and marketing them at the lowest common denominator of gamers.

I can only assume you're directing your console insult towards me since you've mentioned it several times. I'm not sure how I personally am responsible for whatever slight you've perceived since I make levels and work on the tools a little bit. I guess I can shoulder responsibility for entire genres being, apparently, decimated because someone got chainsawed in Gears of War but I don't think it's even remotely reasonable.

you and your money hat.
if you haven't seen (from within the industry no less!) the consistent degredation of various video game genres (shooters foremost) that is caused by 'AAA' console titles consisting of crappy rehashes of what PCs have done better, then you're completely oblivious.
Market trends that cause companies (like the one you work for) to repeatedly put out reskinned titles with a few new guns and no new features, are not entirely the fault of stupid consumers.
The companies themself bear responsibility because they use their superior budgets to hype these titles as the best thing since sliced bread instead of actually spending their money on innovating like indy PC developers have done for years.
I can't wait to see the new iD now that they're owned by a console kiddie catering investment group that doesn't give a shit about gaming except as a means to make profit.
Making games used to at least be a little bit about the art. Now if you want to even make a game, you can't get funding without pandering to the LCD.
SHUT UP.

This "sad little momma's boy" judged your latest map to be one of the best in the latest Q2C mapping contest, and he's had your back in the past when people thought your port of your own map from q2w wasn't exactly what "brand new map" meant in previous contest's rules.
You'll notice that I never once called someone's work fugly, and made jokes about them.
Perhaps you should not call people names when can't manage to correctly use the english language to do so.

I've made some set pieces, prefabs, and brush models for others to use in their maps for a couple different games.
On occasion I'll make HUD reskins for certain shooters including q2 and warsow, and I put together some custom .pak files with high res texture replacements, model reskins, game sound replacements, and other little bits and bobs.
I'm just getting into mapping for ETQW even tho the official ones are really the only ones that get play, and if QL customs weren't such an iffy prospect, I'd be lookin at making stuff for that too.
I keep myself busy with work, a reasonably sane social life, outdoor hobbies and indoor hobbies, a girlfriend of 6 years now, and a home that eats the rest of my time keeping it up.

#144 posted by R.P.G. [96.255.198.46] on 2009/09/11 01:39:25
If someone wanted to port one of my maps over to another game, I would be flattered, but ultimately I would appreciate it if he or she asked my permission first. Although my recent maps are under the GPL, it just seems polite to ask. For maps from large companies, or even small companies, it's generally not so easy as dropping an email to your friendly neighborhood mapper and asking permission. If they reply, they're probably going to say no, regardless of personal perspective. This could be for any number of reasons, not least of which is that whoever you emailed probably does not have sole authority to grant such a request, and trying to get all parties involved to come to an agreement would take too much effort. In short, the cost is greater than the payoff.
It's pretty rare, and it has possibly never happened, for a mapper to receive a cease-and-desist simply for porting a map and a few textures. Since the game developers and publishers have never told anyone to stop, I think many people take that to mean the copyright holders are implicitly giving permission to proceed. (I think this is mostly a subconscious assumption instead of a conscious decision on the part of us the mappers.)
The following is what was once explained to me, and, considering I am not an expert on anything worth caring about, I have no (convenient) way to confirm its validity. If a copyright holder were to know of someone creating an illegal derivative work from their original work, but the copyright holder did not prosecute, then they would not have a sufficiently strong case to prosecute someone else later who was violating their copyright. The ramifications are that a copyright holder is not able to selectively prosecute persons that they know to be violating their copyright--it's all or nothing. This may be why Fox is so zealous that they have their own verb, and why id software tends to be a little more don't-ask-don't-tell. Of course, this is all second- or third-hand information, and mosty speculation...
OTH, TLDR kthxbai.

Of course. I'm sure that's exactly how you'd react. Even if it were delivered during a party, and unveiled with a flourish in front of all your friends, and someone were saying "Hey, what do you think of this?"
Bottom line: People (newbies, experts, and pros alike) post maps and screens here on a daily basis and get helpful, friendly feedback. This time it didn't happen.
Concluding that we're all judgmental stuck-up assholes is, at best, oversimplification (there are a lot of us who aren't all three, at least...or at least not all the time...or...well...shit), and at worst, is missing the point entirely.

NO, this time the exact opposite happened.
It wasn't that nothing happened as you seem to be implying.
You actually gave him shitty, meanspirited, and worthless feedback and many of you seemingly did so intentionally because he was a newb and you knew you could trash him with impunity and possibly even the support of your fellow stuck up circlejerkers.
One of you even went so far as to act like he treated you all disrespectfully by posting this map, solely because it is a rip.

you cannot seriously argue that ZLZ showed any creativity or talent in using third party, automated software to rip off someone else's rip off of a good map.
Oh, and before you intentionally read that far too literally, I'd like to clarify that I'm not DENYING you the RIGHT to argue that point, I'm just saying it would be ridiculous to do so.
I'd also like to clarify that as far as I'm aware, nobody here picked on ZLZ specifically because he's new. Plenty of new people have posted things in the past but received much more positive responses based upon the content of their post.

Nice attempt at mouthstuffing to support your non-argument. You're either not very good at this trolling thing you're trying to do, or your reading comprehension is pretty shitty.
What I implied with my statements is that they felt like they could pick on him without any negative repercussions because he is new, and because they had passed judgement that he was talentless and not creative based on a single offering that offended them. (an offering which I doubt shows the extent of his abilities)

Hi Dervish.
Judging by your posts at that Q2 board you seem like a mostly positive and nice guy. How about we all pretend nothing happened and give you a chance to start over?
Well Technically, Nothing Actually Happened.

I figured I'd get outed with a map download, but w/e. :)
I'm not ashamed of anything that's been said here, so there's nothin to pretend about on my end.
for the record, I regularly get into e-arguments with people when I feel they're being lame or overly antagonistic, and I don't harbor ill will towards anyone over them. (including you guys)
they're just bits in cyberspace that make up words on a screen, so getting worked up is kinda out of the question.

I find that attitude to be annoying but it's not worth arguing over. They're still words and words still mean things. When you type insults at someone it doesn't mean anything less than if you said it to their face - you're still insulting that person and people should feel accountable for the stuff they say online. IMO.
Does This Ring A Bell?

We set up a turtle map 1-on-1 competition, Willem vs Dervish, the judges will be Vondur, Shambler, czg, R.P.G., myself, biff, gibbie, Pope, mad_fox and Drew. And negke. And also generic. Okay. Now, for the rules:
1.) Each map must have at least 250 killable enemies.
2.) The map must last at least 17 minutes of game time minimum.
3.) Custom texture set, hand drawn by each participant.
4.) A 20-page explanation of the theme of the map and how it extends itself to the philosophical ideas of Kant.
5.) A secret exit to another turtlemap with a different custom texture set.
6.) A robot. A kick ass robot.
Although there are judges, the winner will be decided solely by how much shit they can talk.
GO!

I didn't mean to imply that words on screens have NO meaning, just that for me, there is an emotional disconnect when it comes to typing at people.
You're absolutely right that accountability is the same no matter what the medium.
I just don't see a point in staying angry or holding grudges about what someone says about/to me, who I will never meet and who will probably have no physical affect on my life.
Considering that it is nearly impossible to flawlessly divine the motivations of people when they type something on the 'net, it's not worth it to me to be deeply offended.
Hmm

Why Kant? I reckon Derrida tbh, he did loads of stuff on zombies for a start (automata pwn). Zwiffle makes a valid point tho...
Oh, and;
I didn't say they picked on him specifically because he is new
and many of you seemingly did so intentionally because he was a newb and you knew you could trash him with impunity
Then there was something about reading comprehension...
Hmm

This would be what a troll does, who thinks that if he gets you to reply, "he wins".

But
#215 posted by ijed [190.20.64.211] on 2009/09/12 04:11:56
If you noclip then items inside are invisible, while outside.
Sorry, but not enough time to do a walkthrough.
All I did to confirm was redownload and check that the pack had the four reskinned runes inside.

honestly, at least in my case, because i rarely understand what you are saying. it's more than just how you translate what you're saying, but also because you sound almost poetic (but sometimes it makes absolutely no sense to me at all).

I admit my way of behaviour is kind of hard to understand, as I'm more answering in the straight way that I feel.
So often reading a post a day later sets me on my toes,
like...my god, did I wrote that?
Thereby comes it is in a language I'm not familiar with, so it is more like babelfish.
I understand this is not a understandable way of conversing,
but mostly I try to keep it enjoyable for myself as others.
Indeed chance is that people don't get where I am at.
I'm not joking to anyone, seriously. It was just something that came up to me regarding all this posts on a dismissed subject.
Yeah

Your English is close to fine which is why it's confusing. It reads like it should make sense but sometimes it doesn't and I think that's why people often don't understand what you mean or think you're making a joke. :)
I give you a lot of credit for even trying - I can't communicate in anything other than English so I have a lot of respect for those with a good handle on multiple languages.
Well
#228 posted by ijed [216.241.20.2] on 2009/09/28 15:16:50
Your control of the language is pretty good, its more the rhythm of your speech (?) that can be confusing.
The odd invented word is great though - Babelfish made me think of the Dopefish.
My Spanish is crap, but I still spend most of my time conversing in it.
