Thread: Friday with Means - March 4th, 2011 - Montreal Party Registration

  1. #281
    Seriously haters, why are you arguing with the fanboys?
    I think the dwindling number of players speak pretty clearly.

    I have stopped caring, im not even raising an eyebrow anymore when there's a new FWM..
    The cries for wolfs have just gotten old, and so has the infraction threatning aswell.
    But who am i to write something that's probably not as "intune" with the community as The grind or the new pvp field.

    Just let the fanboys carebare post, im sure they are equally forgiving when they are standing in line at the checkout in their local grocery store and there's a someone holding up the queue for five minutes because she didnt get her 50 cent discount on the banans she just bought.

    Your welcome to twist this however you want.
    Thank you.

    I felt so offended that I had to breath, count to 10 and post a joke-ish post or i would explode.
    You can chalk this up to A. language and B. I was incredibly tired (and still am). I was not "attacking" you. I was illustrating the definitions. The "take the pieces of the post apart" format is likewise not an attack. Its a very common Usenet habit, and something I've retained over the years. Point by point response.

    Also, my tone changes when I talk business vs. personal vs. professional. I believe someone on IRC used to think I disliked them, because I responded to them differently than everyone else. Someone else told this person to not talk to me for a bit and just observe my interaction. Apparently my tone completely changes when I'm just chit-chatting to when someone brings me an ARKish sort of problem and asks for help. That person was only asked me ARKish questions, so only saw that. Once he noticed it, things were cool.

    This is a similar situation in that it takes me slightly out of ARKish business and into medicaleze. My toneis going to change, and that's a different me that none of you really know. So, it probably came out "sounding" more clipped than I intended it too.

    Also, again: tired. But anything else can go in PMs.

    Finally, Kintaii is not only my direct boss, we're friends. I was worried about him.

    March 1st - 4th: EVERYBODY IS SICK.
    March 7th: People *still* aren't 100% fantastic but we're back at work because this is what we do.

    There's your timeline. Enjoy.
    I came back to this thread to see if there were an additional details about the Montreal thing and I've determined, using my vast medical knowledge (I watch House every week) that you people not only had the flu, but have all gone clinically insane.

    What exactly is wrong with you? Why would you let the trolls cause all of this trouble? It simply doesn't seem to be worth the effort.

    Worst FWM thread ever! I mean I'd be upset about it, but it is just SOOOO typical. 15 pages of trolls arguing about what is and isn't the flu, who has and hasn't got the flu. If the dev team could ACTUALLY GOT the FLU or if they were some how making it up so they didn't have to actually put any work into FWM....

    There are people leaving AO everyday and the biggest news in AO in the last week was the possibility that the dev team might have cheated on FWM by faking the flu.

    This thread defies logic.

    I see the problem now, that the two to communicate were out.
    When I read the FWM I thought "the flu has hit some key members of the group"
    "This has been a bad week as the whole AO team has been devastated by some local flu variant" is the wording.

    To me that is vastly different from "everyone is sick with the flu, even I am, writing this."
    The original message makes the office sound big, and the flu a disruption.
    "the 5 people transferred here are all sick with the flu, no progress has been made". indeed is a valid argument to me.
    But it was the quoted post that made me realise that.

    My feedback is:
    Try being on the point, hitting the nail.
    I could read that Kintaii was ill, but not that Means is, hence I assumed he was OK.
    .. and I do expect OK people to meet a deadline, not one with flu though.

    I expect a big company to follow through on the long term deadlines though, with the flu being a dump on the road.


    And then this thread will be an interesting study of the part of the community that visits the forum.
    Personally I would recommend a
    "how do we tackle this in the future?"-meeting
    with the questions
    "what went wrong?"
    "what went good?"

    Spot the points where things escalate.
    Spot the points where things calm down.
    See what is happening around those points: Who is posting, what language is used, and what is their rank (GM, ARK, Professional, Player)

    You (FC) have love.
    but my conclusion is that you have too much..
    that you have that kind of friend that tries to brake up every relationship you have, so you and him can keep your special friendship.

    I guess we all have had the "you are a good friend, but don't mess with my boyfriend, just because you do not think he is right for me. you are welcomed to voice your opinions to me, but don't yell at his face that he is not good enough for me at parties, or pick up a fight on my behalf."
    .. love is a complicated thing.

    Kind Regards

    So you have problems reading between the lines, or understanding meanings of postings, idk which.

    This is the 2nd example that you've post that isn't really spot on at all ArienSky. Your first was at my "I don't know" statement before I made a statement. The IDK part was sarcasm stating that I felt it was obvious that the statement I made after it was in itself obvious. The 2nd time is this one, where Means said " as the whole AO team has been devastated by some local flu variant" That's pretty damn straight forward "THE WHOLE AO TEAM" seems pretty straight forward to me.
    "A whole new place to run around for ages in then die suddenly without warning."

    "I know who coded pet pathing... and when I see him I say "/follow" and I start waling in to walls :P"

    The "Trolls" option is incorrect. The term trolls is not used to describe the gathering of information on the Internet.

    Ok, AO team, Im reading this thread everyday and i see you guys are really active and talking to community trying to explain how/why/who got sick and what not. Well instead of that you could write something about development (of other projects other then engine and rebalance) because you were sick for a week, and i assume you were working on something a week before u were sick, and week before that and so on... So why not just edit this post, write something small and everyone is happy instead of trying to explain how u got sick.
    I hope next friday will be better and you guys get on your feet by then.
    SOON™coming back...

    I was truly hoping for Thin Mints. Except I already totally destroyed my diet today with a Shamrock Shake. So maybe it's better to just keep the Thin Mints in the freezer.

    At least for today.

    Tomorrow may be an entirely different story.

    AOC get Dreamworld engine update today, if anyone interested. So they could be able to transfer some resources to AO now. But for me rebalance is more important than graphic.
