But i must say, this community has developed to the worst community i've seen (i am comparing it to what it used to be 1999-2002 with Qboard and PeejNfribs).
We aim to please, mind the claymores. I couldn't care less about who said what, but boy, do you lot (scampie, and those who "praise" him") have a sucky attitude. Replying every attempt at discussion with evasive rudeness sure is smart. No wonder this community shrinks and has been getting more pathetic over time.
Hey, if you are going to be elitist, do it right: make sure your superiority has some basis in reality (i.e. you have significant stuff to be proud of), and you actually have an audience of non-elite people to stand above. You people have neither. THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU KINda misrepresented what was up with your proj. Actually the problems are several fold, but that's one of the major ones.
here's an example: a friend of mine asked me to talk to the team lead of a proj he was working on, www.DarkSummer.com . . . 227 (leads nick) talked (icq) to me about the proj, what his goals were, what i'd be doing, and a timeframe for the project. One of the VERY FIRST things he said was basically "I'm trying to startup a game company, and we have NO MONEY but i am looking for backers." and then said further that he was trying to get people that would stay with the proj if they got backing. i said "ok sounds cool." He then emailed me an NDA that i printed scanned and emailed back, and then he emailed me a 47 page design document. The guy had not only his shit, but other shit completely together. this year he went to e3, talked to publishers and showed them a demo and had several of them want more information. This isn't the way YOU came off with your proj to scampie THREE YEARS ago. from all the sounds of it, you wanted to do a mod but all your energy was devoted not to the mod but hoping that it'd become a valve or 2015 or splashdamage... a mod team turned commercial team. Those 3 teams are not JUST teh exception, but an outright unique happening... it just doesn't happen. On top of that, you need to get over it: that article is dated over 3 years ago. on top of THAT, regardless of whether it's your fault for misrepresenting or his fault for being money grubbing, you have in scampie a person that had a bad experience with you. When this happens, you get bad reviews/references. I have both received and given bad references/reviews, and the best way to deal with it is to accept appropriate responsibility head on and be ready to clearly explain your position. you have not done this. DOING THIS is how you get hired even with a bad reference. As a former mod-team lead, and Core Member of a recently deceased project, i can tell you that you are NOT a game company, therefore you can't hire people... you can only ask for volunteers. As a mod-team lead, you have no teeth. you can't force anyone to do anything, you are comepletely and totally at the mercy of the individuals that volunteer for your project, and you need to be able to mentally bounce back from the millions of setbacks that you're likely to have. Get your shit together, know your goals (incremental and complete), and get over the 3 year old OPINIONS that don't directly blacken your eye. it was only an opinion. Ask yourself "WHAT PART OF THAT WHOLE THING WAS MY FAULT" AND THEN HERE'S THE KEY... you answer that question, learn from the answer, and move on. you haven't done any of that. especially the 'move on' part. ""
He wanted a contract that says he gets money no matter what.... "" sure. if someone is going to HIRE YOU, you want to get paid. if you had asked scampie to do a couple of maps for a mod, he probably would have done that. it was all in the way you represented it. besides that IT WAS 3 FUCKING YEARS AGO. JESUS. If it only had monkey pictures, everyone would have to guess who is who.
I suppose that wouldn't be so hard, though. "No cheese and no crates makes Homer go something something..."
"Crazy?" "Don't mind if I do!" *goes crazy* The leader of the nexuiz project
There is 1 year I contact him to map for the nexuiz mod he answer me very quickly PS : All the mappers are started with bad maps and i can t accept this things . Thanks to all mapper of this website to ignore vermeulen . "Hate" is a pretty strong word. Hating somebody over something this trivial is what's stupid in my opinion. I think the people involved should just get over it, kiss ass if you have to - or just go your own ways and go about your lives and learn from it.
Lighten up. Sorry it 's real it is a little strond "hate";
I just have a long dicution with lee Vermeulen he is not a bad guy but the story is real. New mappers are our future, we must believe it. I was very vexed , But i have been too violent . Sorry... I must correct my langage thanks for the kind words Here, but it may be just as well to let the argument drop. live and let live I guess.
