Yes, it's you.
| Rosh wrote: | | It's not politics because that's the way the sources wanted it to be handled, as I've told you before. |
Actually, you never mentioned that before, and it's more of a valid reason.
| Rosh wrote: | | And it's not politics when I'm trying to evaluate exactly how much other people are doing their supposed jobs as "news admin". |
The point still essentially stands, though. As I understood from you, action in the month of July could have made a difference. Seeing inaction on our parts, you decided not to act either.
I'll be very honest with you, Rosh, I think you have a point and that I was wrong in a lot of things. I saw the rumours and it did not even occur to me to post them. The lackluster reactions they got on DaC didn't encourage me any further. So I didn't post them, which according to you is either a sign of ignorance or not caring. Maybe you're right, I don't see the need to draw it into a personalities debate. I'm of the opinion that you could easily either have posted it yourself or implanted the idea that it should be posted *on time*, rather than 4 months later. Nobody asked you to carry the burden by yourself, but nor were you encouraging anyone to carry any burden for you.
In that context, I'm posting your post above on NMA. Too little too late? Stupidity? Laxness? Inconsistency? "I won"? Sure.

Ok, but then you're not really any better than us in effect. Are you?
| Rosh wrote: | | So why should I be the one giving you the info, have my sources demanded from me, if I'm going to be the only one trying to do the work? |
Call me crazy, Rosh, but if you wanted people to work with you, why didn't you ask, rather than posting the rumours and expecting people to read your mind/intentions?
| Rosh wrote: | | Then, if NMA "doesn't repost rumors", as you yourself have recently, I wonder if I would have gotten the same shit and perhaps even the article taken down. |
No you don't. You know damn well that you're way too respected to be criticised for doing something like that, and that equally it would not have been taken down. That's not in doubt.
| Rosh wrote: | | Yes, it could have been made into a news item, but then remember the blissful ignoring people did with the X-Box comments Pete and Todd made previously, |
Personally, I'm still kind of surprised by that. As far as I know, it was pretty much asumed it would be console-pc from day 1, yet some people expressed surprise at hints in that direction.
I can't take responsibility for other people paying attention, though.

Whoops.
| Rosh wrote: | | Sulking over a few pages of how you've not bothered to do digging for yourself, and instead have to rely on Bethesda spoon-feeding it to you, tends to be a pathetic read when I also know that you haven't done shit for looking for yourself but read DAC and some other sites. No contacts of your own except those that will visit the NMA or DAC forums, and the relayed information from those that were available through others was often ignored in light of Order-style drama whoring. |
Rosh, I never pretended to look for developer contacts. That was never my job on NMA, nor with Van Buren nor now. As far as I know, there is an NMA team each of whom has his own jobs to take care of. Are you saying getting developer contacts is the only relevant job on NMA and every admin should be doing it?
| Rosh wrote: | | You are, in essence, putting yourself on the same level as the other work and effort people have done in the past for the Fallout franchise, and that's simply dishonest as hell. |
I am?
| Rosh wrote: | | And your assumption. |
Also true.
| Rosh wrote: | Actually, I did. I was trying to keep the franchise as best as I could, and that is also achieved by NOT compromising the few remaining developers there at Bethesda who have integrity, while also trying to explain what Bethesda was doing to the title. The Fallout 3 forum and news forum are LITTERED with a number of my posts that explain this in depth.
I can't prioritize Fallout 3 over you, because now you're both equally fucked up, too late to help either. |
Ok, so if you have no suggestions to make, what are you trying to accomplish? Should we all roll over and die?
Honestly, Rosh, I'm quite done. I'm fine with you declaring victory now, but I don't think this is leading anywhere. If you want to give up on the Fallout community, I can live with that, but then there's no more reason for me to talk to you.

A start about that thread on NMA was made over here, and not by me. Be factual.

I've never had any personal beef with VDweller, and what do you base this on? _________________ GameBanshee Editor
