Wasp takes Fang and smoth to task for their actions as well. So do I.

I believe it is entirely fair to discuss and refute points in this thread.

AF has a point.

Oh really..

I spend 99% of my time arguing over why TA mods fail does I..

I think I spend 45% of my time sleeping, 5% eating, 35% modding, and 14% playing games, and 1% arguing with stupid nonsense..

Now please stop trolling, I've had to trash about two third of the original thread.

Dude, just lock it. THis thread has 0% redeeming value. Personally I would prefer that people play EE over Fun:TA, but at least Fun:TA is a mod that I can play and enjoy in the old TA style.

However, Personally I still like EE much more than any other mod in spring, however...

I am bi-modual... :roll:

I think most modders naturally make the mod they want to play themselves, rather then what other people want. And what Fang said.

Wee! Looks like a civil war spanning the entire Spring forum has just awoken! I shall bring more fuel next time. Meanwhile, pick your side and remember, there shan't be no mercy! :mrgreen:

Oh, and I find very relevant to the issue at hand the author's comments on that amateur short movie:
The movie I submitted here over a year ago that contained a Halo-esque character was wildy more popular than the movie I had submitted more recently despite it being technically better.

It hit me with some minor distaste that the world as it is doesn't really want new stuff. They want to see new versions of the stuff they already know.

If there is one thing Marvel comics has taught us, it is that Civil Wars are neither civil or particularly well-written.

And another one enters the Circle of Pain, Marytrium and Torture - having created a great Mod and having no Players here.

Diagnostic Stage One:
Denial of Anger

Stage Two:
Transfer of Anger to a better Grabable Target

Stage Three:
Battle against other Moders

Stage Four:
Leavings & Returns, Lasting Hateoutburst

Stage Five:
Resignation
- but nobody can leave his Mod behind - if to much heartblood went into the Mood.

Stage Six:
...


Sorry, this has all bin said before in various Variations... The Problems is not with the Modmakers, thats for shure. They have fired the Funshotgun - there is enough stuff- into every direction to hit everyone who is willing to try...

But it would be still intersting to see - if those TA-Seekers would play Gundam or EE, if they had only the ugly old TA-Models as Disguise. That way we could determinate if it is graphics or Gameplay which scares the Speedos off ;)

Don`t take this Post serious ;)

And kick them from the server ...

tbh I agree with the OP. I had a lot of fun playing OTA over the years, and spring TA is even better. That's why I'm here. Preaching PLAI MAI MOD to a bunch of TA players is a waste of breath, better to try to attract new users to play your mod.

Perhaps some of us do so in the hope that some Spring players are not 100% closed minded >_>

I also find it anyoing how some people aparear to hate people who prefer to stick to the maps/mods they like. Its not that you shoudnt try to get people to play the map/mod you made/like, just that you shouldt do that to the point of anyoing people and neither flame other maps/mods.

And Boirunner is 99% right! :)

Im going with Biorunner all the way! :-) I believe that people shouldnt force their stupid mod into people's faces and say "PLAY IT!!"

now I love SWTA, but i love XTA because it was a game i was familiar with; I played OTA, and loved it.

And one last thing

XTA!!!!

XTA!!!!

XTA!!!!

(and TA in general!)
