Was wondering what that whole self justification rant Eonwe went on was about.
Who with the what?
Now you've got me intrigued.
Also, *fistbump*
Didn't know you had an account here. You made some fairly good points in the Glitch AI thread, not that the yc[whatever else] dude was too good with the comprehension thing.
I've been here for awhile, I just tend to lurk unless something particularly gains my interest. Commented a bunch on Meph's Masterwork mod(before it became too confusingly large for me) and a fair bit on Deon's Genesis mods. And thank you
I was being as civil as I could with people willfully not accepting and openly mocking opposing opinions. And all the justifications they came up with why it fit really was just grasping at straws.
As to the AI, there's a lot of insincerity going on from those defending it on the Chucklefish forums, trying to paint this picture that those who don't like it are just being nitpicky at best and kicking and screaming monsters at worst. And yes they were purposefully going out of their way trying to bait people to promote that image. Honestly if you go read through the thread page 34+, you can definitely see where it goes from reasonable discussion to Chucklefish's cheerleaders coming in purposefully trying to derail the topic through passive aggressive attacks and willful refusal to accept other posters opinions. And yes, opinion is the right word, because the whole point of the thread was for people to voice their opinion on why they don't or do like the AI.
Then on the main page you actually have dev's going out of their way to poke fun at people who don't like it, posting pics of their test characters wearing horsehead masks(while repeatedly saying that it's not a reference to the horsehead mask meme). Saying things like they've decided to make all the AI's anthro animals with tits(though I didn't see one person who voiced that they didn't like it say that it was the boobs or the anthro aspect they didn't like so much), injecting into the nightly builds a hidden picture of the AI in question giving the users a raspberry. Then mods and users changing their avatars to pictures of a horseheaded chick saying "Y U GET MAD AT VIDEOGAMES?!" or something along those lines, belittling those expressing their concern...in a thread asking for them to do just that...all the while ignoring the fact that it's not the AI or the game they're getting riled up about, but how they're being treated just for giving feedback. It's just a poor and childish way of handling a business, and at this point it'd probably be in their best interest to hire a real PR manager instead of trying to have Molygos do it, because it's obviously not what she should be doing for work.
Edit: I will go out on a limb and say this though, one of their mods, Izzabelle, was really awesome. I kind of feel bad for him/her because they not only had to deal with unruly forum goers, but other mods as well. If they had more mods like this, it'd do a whole helluva lot to dampen the reputation their forum mods have been gaining throughout the rest of the internet for CF.
