First of all, Tiaexz you have yet to answer this question – “have you ever played any TW at all”? If so, what TW-games then and how many years?

Asserting? Me? There? ...In the traditional definition of the term I was not asserting anything there - I was asking - which is hardly the same. And, I was asking as that is the only way for me to somehow find out if you have played any TW whatsoever. As simple as that.

Had the answer actually been a "no", it would have explained a lot. As it turns out, your answer is a "yes" which does not explain nearly as much. I would imagine that - as you apparently have played almost all official TW-games in existence - then you would also be more receptive to the idea that TW-games deserves distinction as separate entities due to their different traits and experiences they provide as games (STW1 is not the same as MTW1, MTW1 is not same as RTW, RTW is not the same as MTW2 etc. etc.), and that the way to do that is to have them covered in separate and dedicated sections because of the it - especially so on a TW-site - not as some sub-sections within one section, as is now the case of 6 out of 7 TW-games. Which hardly do them any justice, or to their communities or can be expected to truly serve this site beneficially somehow - once the existing competition to this site is also considered.

Or for that matter that it will ever be realistic to assume that everybody's fave game is always the latest game and all other TW-games can thus with good conscience be discriminated/neglected/bunched up on the index as sub-sections as to supposedly maximize the exposure of that latest game at their expense or some such - all because of that premise. Assuming and accepting the notion that supposedly everybody comes here for that latest game to begin with, and that ALL people have the same and ever constant preference as well - which are utterly ridiculous ideas in the first place. I would imagine that figuring that out would be a mere child's play to a person that played TW for some 10 years. Yet that is apparently not the case as you have instead actively advocated against all such TW-sections and in effect thus further enforced the questionable doctrine that basically only the latest game (STW2) matters and such distinctions can now only be allowed/afforded that game specifically - on this TW-site and it's index.

Nah, something is clearly wrong with that picture as it does not add up properly or naturally, not for somebody that essentially played ALL TW-games and that for 10 years... Why would you want to dismantle the coverage of virtually all TW-games you played for some 10 years? On a TW-site? That does not make much sense, now does it?


At any rate, you still have plenty of explaining to do (as pointed out in my previous posts), if you ever want me (and others) to take any of your previous claims and declarations seriously regarding the index we now have. If it actually had been a good idea TW-wise, then the reasons for it would have been sound and solid from day1. The possible criticisms would have been fewer, harder to maintain, and they would probably have been addressed and examined a long time ago - instead of being ignored and failing that, greeted with silence. It would all add up properly and naturally, thus making sense to outsiders (such as myself) as well - not only the people responsible for it (and their friends etc. etc.). It would survive and withstand scrutiny better and that in whole other way. It would be able to handle broader and relevant perspectives more successfully and not be confined to strict specifics in order to somehow add up at all. And, you guys would have had little problems explaining and forwarding valid reasons and grounds for it all. Now, has any of that happened here, so far? Do you actually believe that it ever will at this point? Because I don't...

Get my drift?
