Damn this pissed me off. God I wished I saved this confo.
So DaveL himself (leader of the very nicely made mod Nuclear Dawn) gets me on MSN and starts going on about a post I made on a clan site. One of the things I said on it was "Worked on Nuclear Dawn for about a month before I left". Ok so he gets me on MSN all worked up and angry, saying that I never worked for Nuclear Dawn. So I say, actually, I'm just going to recreate the conforsation as good as I can.
DaveL : hi
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : Sup
DaveL :
http://www.wdfnews.com/forums.aspx?g=posts&t=1220 DaveL : "worked for Nuclear Dawn for a month before I left"
DaveL : You never worked for Nuclear Dawn
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : Are you kidding?
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : I didn't make that NUCLEAR DAWN skin for YOUR forums for myself
DaveL : You make it sound like you actually produced content
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : Well hell, I assume a forum would be concidered content, concidering it's part of your community, and website
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : But since you're so puffy about it, I'll be more specific and say that I worked on the forum skin
DaveL : We never said we wanted your help
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : I'm sorry, did you come to this conclusion before or after {james} left you guys for asshat leading?
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : When james asks me for help, while he is under YOUR employment, that acts as a bind that from that point on, as I work with james, I also work and represent Nuclear Dawn. If you want to be so professional about MODS then you should understand that
DaveL : You don't have the right to make it sound like you produced actual game content, when you didn't even work on the game itself, much less the site, but even less ; the forums
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : Look, 12+ hours with james is a lot of effort, for YOU no less. You can kiss my ass if you think I'm just going to forget I worked for ND and say I never did
DaveL : ...
DaveL : When you tell people how much you worked on the forum, tell them you also did a half assed job you did
Paul "Thatamos" Miller : will do
I'm not sure when, but he also talked about how he had to rework the site after getting sick for james (an excellent coder, current leader of Ricochet Source, a good friend, and a great guy to work on anything with) to finish the skin, since he being a "professional website creator", he could do it himself. I remember telling him he should have if he had the ability to, instead of bitching at a mod team that is working loyally for you. If I remember right, he also got james on msn and told him he's already failed at making this mod and should come back to ND. I'll let james elaborate on that more.
A Warning : He WILL find this thread eventually, Email WDF demanding or requesting that this thread be deleted. This has happend before on Halflife2.net, which is why they have a huge vendetta against DaveL. There's even conspiracies of Nuclear Dawn being vaporware, but I can easily say that that's a load of crap. It's a real mod, just the leader beleives mod's should be professional.
James and I worked for him, and personally, the mod is great, but I think it was the worst mistake of my life to do that. 10 bucks says james and I wont even make beta on their beta testing rally. I just love the irony.
