Lazs' CT Setup
« Reply #31 on: March 28, 2002, 08:20:45 AM »
yep bowser..  kinda funny..  there is an attitude that a lot of guys in here have.  It is "if someone works really really hard on something then it is not kosher to point out that there work is flawed.   At work a crew built 3 miles of pipeline and they worked really really hard on it... on into the night at times.   It leaks like a sieve.  As you can imagine.... mean ol lazs is being very critical  and going around hurting peoples feelings...even tho he never moved a bucket of dirt on the project.  

erg... nice of you to "let" me play head to head or in the training arena but I don't really think you have the power to let or not let me into any arena.   And... I have an SS tatoo.

an SS tattoo? creepy. Too bad the taliban dont have a symbol, maybe in a couple decades you could slap that one on there too. (just kidding, but you get my point)

I didnt mean it in a bad way ie your 'let', I am just pointing out that we currently have in place a setup that seems to be exactly what you want MA and h2h.

It is too bad this thread degenerated so badly, that was really my beef.

Well this thread got squeaky fast.

Look, Lazs is probably the number 1 (or at least most vocal) opponent of the CT, and as much as the CT staff dislike him he has some good ideas that if thrown in to the weekly CT rotation, could be very fun and draw more numbers.  

Some of the additional pilots that enter the CT for an "early planeset furball" setup may stay for the other more "historical" matchups.

Analogies of relevance would be nice.  Comparisons to pipelines....? C'mon.  My attitude has nothing to do with "if someone works really really hard on something then it is not kosher to point out that there work is flawed".  Let me explain.

Contrary to your opinion, Lazs, your ideas are not neccesarily the most accurate either, it depends on your pespective as to what would be best. (ie your opinion vs my opinon).  Quote whatever historical document you'd like, the truth is that someone composed it and all documents present a certain amount of "writer's perceptions".  Is the glass half full, or half empty?  Since the CT staffers have their own opinion and ideas of what is correct, they did it their way (just as you would) for our enjoyment - without pay or other compensation.

Your abrasive comments towards the CT Staff and their ideas are without merit.  Furthermore, they negatively influence anyone else's (generally speaking) perception of you, thereby ruining any cedibility you might once have had.

I do realize this post is about allowing you to develop and implement a planeset and period/settings group.  More power to you in getting it done, but those previous posts didn't help your cause.

In summation:
Lazs, my previous post was there for your benefit as is this one. I address each of these issues without name calling, without slandering individuals, without being degrading, without lowering my standards, and without beng offensive...
Some of your ideas have credence, but they will never be given any real consideration because YOUR PEOPLE SKILLS SUCK

Food for thought,
If you want to get someone's attention - whisper.  Yelling makes them completely unreceptive.

"I didnt mean it in a bad way ie your 'let', I am just pointing out that we currently have in place a setup that seems to be exactly what you want MA and h2h. "

ok... we have established that you can not only not "let" me do anything but that you also have no idea of what i do or don't want.   I find the fact that you somehow feel that you do..... amusing.   and.... yes I do have the tatoo.   It is over 30 years old and I keep it as a reminder to not ignore the obvious even under peer pressure.

bigmax..  i give not a whit if my ideas are given credence based on how PC a job I do in presenting them.    In fact, I don't care if they are given any credence or not.   As to seeing the glass half full half emty crap....   Now who is using 'meaningless analogies'??     What is half empty about pointing out what is a popular arena vs an unpopular one?    I pointed out when the CT first started up that it would behoovethe staff to try to implement popular settings so as to draw people who might then stay.

As for my "abrasive comments toward the CT staff' having no "merit".... They neither have merit nor lack merit.   They are simple observations but....I contend that they are accurate and so... worthy of mention in any discussion on the topic.

You have a tattoo representing a group of some of the most narrow minded murders in history to remind you of something?  Try string around the finger, or maybe a day calendar.  Cheaper, and less likely to give you a strange incurable disease.

After suffering through your comments here (not only yours), and else where I do feel that I have a pretty good idea of what you want.   Why do I read this if I dont like most of what is said (by you)?  Because I am receptive to new ideas, and I personnally dont know of a way to improve the ct.  Synthesis is something I can do though..........


Anyway, lets all start a new thread and let this one die a quick painless death.

Laz2, heres the problem... well at least from my POV.

people ask for things they would like to see, it gets posted. Now the CM and CT crew can and can't do some things. Like adding planes that would balance gameplay and really were their in that timeframe, but just aren't present in AH, thats one problem. The other is Some things people would like to see  NEED to be built into the map while it's being built, and cannot be changed once it's built. A simple change percieved by some is a NIGHMARE to the mapmaker. Not saying all changes are nightmares but the back and forthe is something that HTC wants to avoid. You don't want to be re-Downloading the maps everytime a small change is made.

The CT crew only have a few maps that can be used at this time, with a few around the corner. I know just changing the Looks of a map is just a bandaid over cancer, But as we design new maps We are also learning new "tricks" and you'll see alot of changes.

HTC ,has released new terrain editors faster than patches so the CM and CT team have more to work with. Rome wasn't built in a day ( just destroyed in 1)

I don't mind Listening and reading new Ideas whether I like them or not is not the point, can't you guys argue without personal attacks?

erg.. i have a tatoo representing bigotry and white power that was in tune with my beliefs at the time.   I was a full blown bigot of the "motorcyle fraternity".    I no longer hold those beliefs or associations.    It is probly beyond the scope of this forum to explain but I will be more than glad to explain my past and current views to anyone in person.

I am sorry that you had to "suffer" through my comments but i would recomend that if you are going to marty and punish yoursel so, that.... you try to comprhend those comment before making assinine comments of your own.

nuttz... I'm sure that you are correct on things seeming easier to do than they look.    I am not suggesting anything near as complex as what you guys seem willing to take on as a matter of course.

bigmax.. I hear you fine and understand what you say.   i simply find it irrelevant for me.   Probly good advise for children and the hoplessly naive tho.

lazs, it is good to hear you do not subscribe to that philosophy anymore .  As far as assinine comments, I dont think I made any did I?  I just said that this topic was pointless (nothing to do with your posts), and that you prefer a MA like setup.  I have not gone back to read exactly what I wrote, but I dont think it was off putting to anyone (The nazi thing was about the rule for ending a thread as found in The Darwin Awards), and the reference to strings and fingers was before you made it clear you were 'one of those' at some point in your history.  I really do try to be civil minded when posting.

erg... I do not try to be anything.   you like to think of yourself a certain way and me as the big bad meanie.   Truth is.... your offhanded comments about how you/we should let poor ol befuddled lazs just go off and play in other arenas were.....  insulting.   Now, I don't mind being insulted but in order for it to be a good insult it should be a little less cowardly, dishonest, uninformed and.... you should make it pertinent.   I have never advocated any of the choices yu attribute to me.   you seem to be a bandwagon opportunist.   If you would like to bash me that's fine but.... I bash back on occassion so it would behoove you to not be quite so offhanded and to do your homework.

Oh.. and bigmax.  I have no fear of my "credibility".   It is not based on the way I say things but on what I say but...... after reading the laundry list of my flaws that you composed I would imagine that your credibility as the even handed civil one is in question by most.
