Guys, take it down a notch, will you?

Don't make me give the whole thread a time-out.

I had never read the old daily devlogs. So I am reading through them now.
It's so interesting to see the bones of the game come together now that I have seen a much more advanced version of the game visually.

I don't remember which of you posted the PDF version of the logs, but thank you

I think that was Bfett that made the logs.

All hail BFett!!

Josh happens to log into the forum for a small bit and people take this as evidence that Limit Theory is still in development...

Wut?

Ah thanks guys. Yes the old dev logs can be downloaded from the link in my signature. I'm glad you guys are reading through them. I have even started reading through them so that I can fill out the wiki more thoroughly. Happy reading!

Oh yes, of course. The name is IN the PDF. Whoops

I probably should have included my name in the 2014 DevLog document but I left it off and just started it with the January DevLogs. Oh well.

Edit: If we don't hear from Josh in the next 3 days I'll be making the 2015 DevLogs and RTB posts available.

Josh doesn't post for a while and people take this as evidence that he has stopped all development...

Wut?

Anyone looking for a practical philosophy to living life as a good human being surrounded by other humans -- in a game forum or generally -- can find it quoted above.

Nicely said, Scytale.

That's nice and all, but let's put it into the context of what it was used for. There are a couple of ways of looking at it. The discussion was about the publics reaction to stillbirths marketing and release. That angry mob did not just suddenly wake up one day and decide to bash the game, they reacted to a situation that they had no control over. It isn't their fault egosoft messed up, that is solely on egos head.

So yeah, as a general rule, try to be nice, but that can go too far, I mean really, if someone defrauds you, and you get angry, you are justifiably angry, it isn't just some whim of yours. So there is a difference between being a random angry mob, and a justifiably angry mob. If a thief is caught by the people he robbed, explain to me how you are going to, "work to be better." The mob isn't at fault, the thief is.

You try and fight bad things without becoming the worst of those things yourself. It's never easy though.

As Martin Luther King said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

Well, an unannounced radical change of behavior will always raise attention, regardless of the actual reasons. One can't deny or avoid that.

Mate I can't not keep noticing how cool your profile pic is.

Poet, you're talking as though objective, visible injury to a person and someone saying something you don't like in a game forum are functionally equivalent. They aren't.

Ignoring their contexts and treating these behaviors as though they are identical insures bad results for both.

Yes, I endorse taking action against actual harm. That's not the case here. Setting a more constructive tone in a forum starts with the individual -- if you don't like a fire, stop throwing gasoline on it and demonstrate the better behavior you want to see.

All of which is just one person's opinion with zero force behind it, of course. And I don't pretend to be perfect at it myself.
