What is the deal? EB's direction...

**Barbarossa82** · 11-01-2006, 16:31

I appreciate there may be some history between Mr Fallen and the EB team, but, Khelvan's aside, these are some pretty immature responses. Is a four-letter obscenity considered acceptable forum behaviour when used by someone with an "EB member" sig?

Well, we're immature, directionless, and whatever else anyone wants to call us, just go ahead and keep adding to it. We're are a bunch of dudes trying to make a mod after all and we like to have a little fun sometimes. It's not like we're sending out the Ambassador to Switzerland or a Presidential Press Secretary to speak for us.

Switzerland?

I concur, merely as a spectator, that Fallen+whatever is a Prat. A Wanker. A Jerk. A Git. A Twat. An Asshole. I have been reading these forums for more than a year and remember previous efforts of his to tell the EB team how to do their thing. Fallen, if you're such a super-genius, make your own mod. The EB guys do not work for you, or for anybody, or indeed are not working at all. They are playing a game. If you don't like how they do it, then don't play. And don't be such a Jerk.

Ok, guys, enough with the insults, or I'll have to lock this. We don't allow this sort of attack, even if we don't like the guy. The same goes for using the QUOTE function. We have 0 tolerance for that, and I am afraid if you don't change your quote of him I will be deleting your post. You can't use the QUOTE function unless it is a direct quote of what he said. There are other ways to present your feeling of what happened.

Thanks!

I wasn't associating myself with Fallen's comments or "adding to it", I just thought the responses were disappointing when all that really needed to be said was "you're wrong, the actual situation is...". If EB team members and supporters are going to swear, false-quote and make personal insults, then that's not very impressive.

Amongst what was said, Fallen's points were actually answered, and fully so. I can't see a reason for this to stay open.

EB team members false quoted? Where?

edit: I don't see this at all. I can only see that you may be talking about Cheex's quote, but while we like him, he's not an EB team member (

).

admins; lock this thread

I am amazed.

I am not a fan, i am just a guy who likes to waste romans after a day of work. I am also what some might called "well versed in ancient civilization" and i like to play EB. I think the work is not perfect (mostly because of the game engine limitations and of the way the units are recruited) but it actually taught me several things about ancient history and is enjoayble, even in a non-finished state.

If i wanted to have some things changed (like, let's say, religion) i'd just say it, ask for being a beta-tester and then make my way in a position where i could be usefull and discuss my views with other people (and i would surely NOT try to impose them.) I do not do it, i don't have time for that and even though i like the job done and would love to take part in it i just can't.

In no way i would act like fallenwhatevernumberitis does. I can't se any point in opening a thread on a subjet he does not know anything about just to throw a tantrum about something that is not his business.
Does it help hastening the process of releasing hte next version ? NO.
Does it call for new ideas or clever modification tricks ? NO.
Is it constructive ? NO.

I don't understand how someone could be so uncivil, impolite and vain. You are just sitting there, waiting for something and yell at the people who build it because you don't like their way of doing it.
You are, in fact, just a consumer and, as long as you don't pay for this mod (and you never will) your two only ways of action if you are not happy about it are 1) to suggest changes or 2) to shut up.

As far as i am concerned, i will just despise you until you apologize to the EB Team.

TO Kelvan : could you please give the next version number 0.1337 . Your mod is so leet !
