That said, however, I find NGTM-1R's comments well out of place... and they deserve a reply.
NGTM-1R, you're not as well appreciated as you pretend to be (I've recently read bad comments about your behavior on IM and private forums, then guess how better than the others you can really claim to be), so the whole point of behaving as arbiter doesn't make sense.
I am not here to be loved, I'm here to talk about Non-Internet Spaceships, and if people don't like me, at least they'll hopefully acknowledge the points that I've made as valid. (And, if we're honest, they usually do. You can look at my thread about subspace-age tactics if you don't believe that.)(EDIT FROM FUTURE NGT: Or follow the links provided later in this post.)
Also frankly I'm not here to make people happy, but neither is it my goal to make them cry. As Jason Sartin (amusing guy and tester of games for RPG.net) once said of a different form of testing "however, I was enlisted for the strength of my cruelty, and even had my best friend made this the resultant bitchslapping would be mighty indeed." Affirmation will come to those who deserve it in due course. The perfect campaign has not been designed, much less released, and I'm here to ensure that people know something went
wrong so they can fix it.
Also, you're trying the private messages and private forums strategy again. I don't believe you. Produce the evidence or leave it out of the discussion.

What I see in the latest post of yours is, yet again, the result of unmatched misinformation and forced will to lead the debate to degenerate. In the post I'm keeping private, I have replied to a couple of statements of yours (I might have replied to a third one as well), proving that your overreaction is driven by misinformation. NGTM-1R, you clearly don't know what you're talking about... and I'm not refering to internal forums you can't browse. You're showing poor knowledge of the episodes which occurred on HLP as well, because even reading a couple of public posts may have been enough to reconsider the content of your latest additions to this thread.
Oh please. I read HLP regularly. I'm up on all the things that happened. You're not pointing out specific instances here either; produce the evidence already, if it's so damning. If you refer to your brief, hesitant, and thoroughly hypocritical apologies on HLP, I am quite aware of them. I also chose to disregard them because, among other things, you have not acted in any fashion consistant with them.

Your will to pretend to know a lot about internal matters is unmatched, really. You said that I impose my style to other FSCRP team members, which is weird considering that most of the times I worked alone. When working with someone else, however, I haven't experienced anything comparable to what you're claiming. I would really like to know if you have proofs to backup your assumptions.
I can read. I saw it happening in the Warzone revamp public thread, among other places. (Also, I noted with horror that you were actually
proposing changes to the missions, not merely fixing them up and polishing them.) I'm not pretending to know what goes on in the internals; I watched this stuff happen in a public thread. On another level, I am not claiming that you have driven anyone from the FSCRP (an unfortunate acronym; one letter more...), I am claiming that, having seen your behavior, the more experienced community members have refused to join or assist. An admittedly difficult to prove assertion, but you're not going to get help out of Karaj at least.
I'll also simply point at Rants here and note that more than one person has confessed their anger and frustration with you. Granted, you have no way of knowing if what I'm saying is true, but then again, unproveable claims are your modus operandi in this thread so far. And mine, at least, can be proved to various
other people associated with this thread, unlike your claims of PMs that nobody but you can see.

As for INF, it's no secret that Snail doesn't like it. It can be easily noticed, and there's nothing I can do about it. Snail has his reasons, right? He left the team following a lack of interest and a couple of accidents on the FS Wiki. I fail to understand, however, how this is related to the topic (or better, to what the topic has derailed to). Maybe you're trying to say that working with me is awful? Once again, you need much more than the misinterpretation of public posts to claim that.
Snail has already expressed his opinion of your claims. They can be neatly summed up as "bullshit".
I can also, but will not because I'm not going to violate his privacy like that, post the long anger-fueled rant that resulted from his exit from INF, whose mere existence makes a mockery of your claims. Anyone else in this argument interested in it is advised to consult Rants.

And I know for sure that the other INF member you're talking about is Hippo. I also know, however, that Hippo hasn't done anything tangible to propose changes to the INF SCP plans posted by me on the internal forum. How so? He appears to be against my ideas and concepts without caring to specify why, which is strange considering that the current INF SCP plans are closely sticking to SadisticSid's one. I have read Sid's threads and also contacted him in private, which resulted in the creation of a new thread on internal in which he clarified his concepts. Oh, wait - you didn't know anything about it.
Hippo has expressed a desire to answer this himself, when he is not posting from a cellphone, so I will simply note that his has expressed the opinion that you have added things for no apparent reason or use and been singularly unhelpful in regards to how mission design is supposed to play out and then gone off because it's not the way you wanted it but couldn't bother to be specifying how you wanted it in the first place. I am not uninformed, Mobius.
And you have not proved that your actions are not responsible, or that I am wrong.
I also find it somewhat sad you decided to name names.
Mobius wrote:
Sorry, but your misinformation-driven claims are going too far. I find discussing with Karajorma, who's well aware of the facts, a much more productive thing. At least I wouldn't spend half my replies trying to tell you that you just don't know what you're talking about.
You haven't even proved I had any misinformation going on here. Quite the opposite, really. You still refuse to name specific incidents or claims I've made that were actually wrong. It's just as well. Your one effort to, with Snail, backfired spectacularly.

You know, I don't give any importance to your claims for several reasons. First of all, after the comments I read elsewhere, I'm really starting to believe that the only thing you're very good at is overrating your role in this community. I have discussed the quality of your campaign reviews (many of which are offensive, and I still can't figure out how they're widely accepted. I mean, what's the point in saying "The Good: This space occasionally left blank" and then write a long and detailled list of bad - according to you, of course - things?) as well as the quality of your posts in general, and the results just don't lead me to take your own comments seriously.
I explained this once already. I'm not here to be an affirmation machine. I'm here to see that people's quality improves. The Good is only for things that were of an exceptional nature. If you produce a totally solid campaign but never rise above "solid", it'll be blank. (The review you actually refer to, however, was for a quality somewhat less than that usually; I did eventually finish the campaign and it got better, but it still didn't produce anything exceptional. This does not make it bad; it simply lacks flair.)
That is your perogative, of course. However, on the other hand, simply ignoring me on the basis of a couple of campaign reviews you didn't like is petty and stupid.

You don't have the authority to teach other people how to behave, and you're not even old enough to consider yourself able to do that. If the age your profile shows is correct, you're not an adult and therefore can't pretend to behave as one. You're behaving here as if you took this personally, even if you're one of the few people partecipating to this debate I have nothing to say about. But, if you collect incomplete info here and there and then use them to accuse me, you have to face the consequences. Posting on public boards has its pros and cons, and you should know it.
Y'know, I don't even know what age my profile is showing anymore. I just kind of assume it updates, but in this magical world of the Internet, my age is an irrevelancy anyways. (Since you're off your rocker about it, however, for the record, I'm 24.) I flatter myself to think I can produce reasonably solid logic and inferences on the subject of Non-Internet Spaceships, and
others seem to
agree. (Publically, no less, none of this nebulous "I gots these PMs" business.)

I'm sorry for this part of my post, but watching a non-moderator behaving that way is pretty disturbing. The others, including Karajorma and Battuta, are behaving politely regardless of the nature of the debate.
NGTM-1R, if you don't know... don't reply. And don't talk about someone else's presumed reputation if your own is not any better.
If you don't like the epic call-out, don't give me a reason.
