How has modding/ta spring ruined you?
Moderator: Moderators
It also made me better at RTSes I think, previously I sucked at C&C games, trying to porc and tech rush while now I delay teching a lot and crush the first few opponents with lowtech units. Granted, we were playing with 8 players, most of whom had little experience with the game... Was pretty funny to hear one guy who built every civil building already but only one tesla coil as his defense scream about "no rushing" while I kept telling him it's hardly rushing if he already has a tech center, never mind we didn't even say anything about rushing. What am I supposed to do, wait until he has an army of high-tech units?

Got any more super units for us to play with?
Where's your mod? And were you always known as "Summer"? I wasn't always known as Caydr, nor Bershe.
Sorry if I took that the wrong way and you weren't being a prick.
I wasn't talking about the popularity of your shittastic mod, Caydr. I was talking about you being such a "good" player. But by all means, what was your name Pre-Bershe? And no, this hasn't always been my name, but my previous name was so obscure, you wouldn't know it, either.Caydr wrote:[img]Hey,%20ma,%20look!%20I'm%20a%20tool![/img]Summer wrote:Yeah, when I hear about all the great names in TA, yours always comes up, near the top of the list.

I resent that it's the most played as well. Makes me a target of much retarded criticism. I guess I just... uh... need to make it suck... or something.
I was a really good TA player, probably on par with anyone here. But that was before I started dedicating most of my recreation time to making things for other people for free and not asking anything in return. Like running the show on four mods simultaneously. Go to hell.

AA serves the masses. The reason it's played by so many people is because the people made it. You post on AA's thread that you think X should be done, and it's agreed upon - not by me, but by your peers - it's done, even if I don't agree with it. About 5% of things in every recent changelog were my personal idea, something I came up with that I thought would be good. Everything else was an idea someone else came up with and asked to be incorporated into the mod.
Look at this changelog:
By attacking AA, you are attacking Spring's community. Without a community to make use of it, Spring is nothing but a brilliant but unused program. So you are in effect attacking Spring itself.
I know there's a lot of people who don't like me. This is for one of two reasons: 1, you have been told lies about me by bitter people who don't like the way I left TAU, and who aren't telling you my side of the story. Like the repeated abuse of moderator and possibly admin powers against me and others, which I attempted to report but was ignored. A year later after much more abuse of power, a certain moron was stripped of his moderating abilities. I have repeatedly apologized for my actions, but no apology has ever been given to me for what drove my to my actions. Or, 2, you don't like that AA is the most played mod. I can't help this, except by making bad decisions and driving away its player base. But the thing is, I'm not the one making the decisions. The reason AA is so popular is because I'm not its developer, YOU are. Everyone here has a say in how it is developed. If you don't like that, you're an enemy of every open-source project ever conceived, and should as such be banned from participating in this open-source project and by extension, its forum.
Get a clue. I'm not doing this for my own glory, I'm doing this because I can and nobody else has stepped up. If I were to disappear, I would expect that some other individual would carry the torch in my stead. Attacking AA as a way of getting at me is nothing but hypocrasy. You are attacking yourself and everyone here, but certainly NOT me.
