Sectorgame

Is the most jumped-up, self important, insecure, arrogant, self posessed w#nk#r I have ever, ever in my entire life, seen. Be it in real life or on the Internet, I have never truly seen someone who can act so childishly, or throw tantrums, or just be pathetic as this man.

If he develops FS3, I won't be buying it on principle

He's like an evil kazan... times 10, on crack cocaine. In the gamming industry.


Ugh...

s###, that's an insult to Kazan. Hell, I like Kazan at times. He's an okay guy when he wants to be. But this guy is a f#####g asshole.

Spoilt brat.

I refuse to accept that the future of Freespace could end up in the hands of such a f#####g dickwit. I mean, he has no idea about the fundamentals of business, let alone gaming business, where rabid fans are the very lifeblood of the industry. He had the audacity to say that mods have no right to exist, in an age where mods like Counterstrike have changed the face of the entire industry.

I dunno who's worse though - him or his fan squad over at AVault.

Well, between you, me and the doorpost, and because this is a passworded forum I will say this...

I worked about 17 years ago with Codemasters, a small company that tended to release games written by home users at the time. I did some sprite routines and lookup tables in Z80 machine code an an Amstrad 6128, that they wanted to use to improve a game they'd been sent. Every step of the process was tested, not using programmers, who will subconciously avoid things they know might be a bit 'dodgy', but by players, because, obviously, it was them who would play the actual game.

When most people start writing computer games, they do it for one reason and one reason only, to hear other people turn round and say 'That's brilliant!'

Mr Smart does not do this, his only concern is the money, he does not like, or even know Freespace., and he has obviously not got the passion required to devote himself to a game, he himself has said as much. So he writes code for money only, we call those Binary Whores. No Binary Whore has EVER written a good game, look at the Elite Sequels, where Brabham told Bell that he could do a better job on his own. A similar situation, great idea, complete lack of commitment or programming ability, and a whole string of half-fix patches.

The simple fact of the matter is that Derek has sold out, and he knows he has, that is why he is such as asshole about things. Because he knows SCP is already better than anything he could ever do, but wants to try and make the SCP look like a complete waste in order to sell his own game.

As for his trained monkeys in Avault, well, they seem to like wrapping people up in a nice stereotyped box of 'Freespace Fanboys' and apply attributes to them. Considering Mr Smart's roots, and his people have suffered more at the hands of prejudice than most, I am amazed that he condones it, but then, it probably suits him.

So, if FS3 comes out by him, I won't be buying it, even if it was a good game, which I am certain it would not be.

As said in the FreeSpace forum, if he harms the series in any way, I will, with all seriousness, find him, and kill him. And I'm not alone.

Meh, looks like Kazan is building a lifeboat just in time. After all, which is the real continuation of a series 'By Gamers for Gamers'?

This man is a self-proclaimed non-gamer.

Ok, we talk about this in forums does that help? no it don't help

we need create media storm (contact every known Gaming media
second we need contact other game developers if they are intrested
(rememper what B5 comminity did when sierra canceled B5:ITF

Third we need contact Interplay

fourth: we need make Derek smart look bad in face of gaming comminity
gotta admit everybody hate him but

Thats actually a good Idea... We've contacted some I'm sure of, but people have overlooked Gamespy, and some of the other larger sites... If we can ruin his reputation, he can't sell games as well, so he won't have money enough to buy more rights...

We had gone there peacefully, and he started the conflict with us (or at least some of their forum regulars did, but he condoned it). He made a lot of people mad. 2000 at HLP, 200 here, 150 at NW, and the former 13,000 who were once at VW... They insulted us long before we said anything negaive to them. DS even had the audacity to threaten Kazan personally, for no reason. I'd say its a right good time that we did something in return. Not something against the gaming boards, afterall, they're just like us, gamers. Something against DS. Something big.

Bugger him. Bend him over a pool table and bugger him.

I believe when Freespace comminity works together we can be Dangerous


we should try at least 1up, Gamespot and IGN and lot other site

You know, listening to his cronies on 3000AD just makes me wish I was a hacker. He's a real two-faced piece of s###.

Indeed, but we should not forget who we are we are proud mempers of Freespace comminity.





Not proud mempers of Asshole comminity

well, [email protected] hacked VW, perhaps we can tell him (if its a real email) that we'd like him to hack 3000ad.com annonymously...

We are Far better than him i hope we don't go that low
