Erm hang on a moment. 'Neither did he?' So he never held the scene to ransom over EPEE? He never dictated to the scene it was to be done his way? He never did the FW site? Come on Guitar don't be so naive.
Essentially, in a very shortened form, he said "sit down, be quiet, and you'll get an EPOCH emulator". And some people did and other people wouldn't. Maybe if we had, we would've. Hard to tell now isn't it.
I dont agree with all the stunts he has pulled, I disagree and agree with you and he, and believe that there is two sides to the story. And as I wasnt around at the time I find it very hard to make a choice based on that. I have spoken to him personally and he's been an ok guy to me. Yes I am knowledgable of what went down beforehand, and I do keep that in mind, but I have to act upon how he was / is to me.
As for the 'good stuff' I mentioned this before. I never said 'good stuff' was layouts/roms/emulators did I?
No, you didn't, fair enough. But what did you mean? Seriously I am still unsure entirely what you mean by "good stuff".
How is multiquoting attention seeking? Mulitquote is used to I can address individual points put to me. I fear you are clutching at straws a bit there.
The multiquote isnt the attention seeking, just how I percieve your posts in general. Its the opinion of someone else posted on the internet, im sure you wont be losing any sleep over it.
Look up asking and begging. You will spot a difference. How about 'send me some cigs or money and I will only then produce more layouts for you?'
DId people pay it? If its percieved to be "worth it" then what does it matter, nothing stopping you doing some layouts and trying the same thing if you want. Not that I aree with it, but meh, cant blame someone for trying. At least he was selling his own time / work, unlike bagga bargain.
As far as coders are concerned. Stealing code, leaking emulators. Posting 'knowledge' without consent. 'Bullying coders to do it 'his' way'... etc etc.
Ok.
Yeah I cannot remember how many times I pretended to have coded not one but two emulators or made a website that only a certain few were allowed to sign up. Basically Guitar you are talking shit here. Also what is this indicator of the trouble I have caused I would love to know or are you going all Nemmie on me here?
My point wasnt about AT, it was you. Just because he has done wrong in the past doesnt mean you have to bring it up and go on and on and on about it. Especially when he has been "banished". You seem obsessed with mentioning him and /or his actions at any turn. Its pretty clear to everyone now that he isnt exactly a saint, lets just let it slide into history and move on. Moving on doesnt mean accepting wha he did, just that its the same old converstaion over and over again. If you put the same energy into making layouts or an emulator or something else, it'd be done 6 times over by now.
Already covered this.
As I said before, what specifically do you mean by "good stuff"?
I have my own views on CW and tbh it is not relevant here. I see where you are coming from though.
All Im really saying is, there seems to be some rose tinted glasses worn by a lot of peope about "the good old days" of fme.
The damage was done. It is not my fault CW, Re-A, DT etc have been f***ed over that much they cannot return. Maybe people should have listened 1st time instead of 10th time and then maybe then something could have been saved. Problem was he got let off time after time as a result of people being too soft with him and falling for his PM bullshit. Does that ring any bells? Or are you going to deny he PM'd you loads giving you suggestions on how things should be run or how chunty certain people are?
I wouldn't say "Loads". And yeah he did give me suggestions, but given I posted threads asking for suggestions, it seems a tad harsh to hold that against him.
Strangely enough the people he has said are chunty (whatever that means) do seem to be pretty much as he describes.
No actually what it was born out of was that I knew if AT was involved it would be f***ed up..... guess what I was correct or do we have a public version of EPEE for download I have missed?
Interesting logic. IF AT is involved then it will be f***ed up, so if I f*** it up before giving it time to progress, I'll be proved right.
People ask questions and deserve the truth. As the EPEE question was asked in this thread I answered. Or are folk not allowed the truth any more?
I would disagree with deserving the truth. All people really deserve is a bit of courtesy.
Not that they aren't allowed the truth (unless you are a bank and someone wants to audit you)
More just sometimes the truth is better off concealed for the good of all of them.
Oh so I asked AT to donate loads of hoarded layouts to Duplu to help gain more funds when in fact AT had donated f*** all so I could start a fight? Did I? I mean did I really?
I dunno, did you? I'd have to go back and read thru the archives to answer this fairly.
Also did I go crawling to DT with the idea of a private club where only certain people were allowed to gain said hoarded layouts and thus stoke my ego? Did I also suggest this so I could start a fight?
I got in, was great fun, there was a swimming pool. He also said there would be puppies
Come on Guitar wake up and smell the damn coffee....
Make me a coffee and we'll talk. Or is that begging.
I realise a lot of the later quotes I have kinda just tried to be funny, but Im bored of typing now. Will come back to this later.
I have an idea. What about feeding all that energy into finding roms we dont have? If an epoch emulator got released tomorrow we have what, 3 full sets including sound? Epoch being as faulty as it is means there might not be many around for long, so whilst they are still reasnobally abundant, instead of arguing, lets go rom hunting. If coinslot / bacta get their way it might be really quite hard to get roms soon, especially the older stuff.
