Ok..

So this ban that is not listed in the history of the XTA autohost (but there is one listed for you on the SA ones) that I slapped on you after you owned me in 1v1 (in a different mod apparently?) is irrefutably proven by you posting a chat log of me threatening to ban you, right.

Every one of your posts is filled with derogatroy terms and flames, and afaics you are still talking shit. But yeah I am so mean to you.

I wish people would stop blaming Noruas, seriously.

I mean, yeah, sure he did do some stuff without asking, or things that "weren't in the spirit of whatever" and all that rubbish, but so what? He also did some great things, brought it up todate, added new innovations which other mods have copied.

What have you done to remedy this except go on and on and on and on about how good the old days were etc?

It's all well and good complaining about how he ruined it, how it's not the same, but maybe if you tried remaking the "old glory xta" on the modern spring then you wouldn't be crying so much. If "Old XTA players" stopped going on about how they miss stuff and how this new XTA is nothing like it used to be and just bloody played the thing, adapated and moved on then it wouldn't be dead.

The only reason you see the old XTA as being better is because it's in the past, there were more players and you weren't awfully bad at the mod. I've played ol XTA, granted not the one from eons ago but still. it was bug ridden, looked about as graphically appealing as BA and had imbalanced units. But sure, if you think that's better be my guest and remake it. I'd love to see you do it and get huge amounts of players coming.

For every reason you can think of for why this XTA is worse than your golden age XTA, there's probably another 10 for why it's better. You're just too ignorant to see it and lost in the past.

I wonder how much earlier XTA would have "died" if i never touched it all. Sure I will take the credit for killing it, but first you have to admit I put it in life support for 2 years. + half things the players accuse me of destroying like "buffing starting commanders" is wrong.

i may not agree with everything that happened to XTA, but Noruas, i do apreciate all the time and effort you spent on this mod for the past 4 (??) years. It gave me tons of fun!

That stuff about people banning other people from games is one thing that should end.

- people being banned should make an effort to just play from start to finish and not whine too much at teammates (even if they are right)

- people banning should give the targets some slack, be more tolerant


Then there's the stuff about xta versions. Imo you are delaying "official" releases too much waiting for test games that are not going to happen.

About Noruas, i never saw the "old" XTA, but it seems he did lots of stuff and maintaining a mod is hard work even if the outcome isn't what some of you would have wanted (maybe you could have made your vision of what should be done clearer). He should be credited, not whined at for "killing xta". Only complaint was that he took too long to release control over it when he got tired, or something like that.

The resentment towards Noruas' changes stemmed from him adding units (which aside from the raven was unprecedented) and heavily changing sea balance in what was widely received as an extremely negative way. A lot of the playerbase at the time felt that what had been a community developed mod had ceased to be so.

He has put huge amounts of effort into maintaining the mod and improving the graphics, and he added the sing button, which should in itself earn the eternal gratitude of all sentient beings.

He also fixed the t2 economy, which I think massively improved the game.
