Dom3 DB Version 3.15

Where is the new... ice cream you promised me?

Dedas, I [censored] meant it. I know you think you're being funny and trying to lighten me up, but it's having precisely the opposite effect.

People have been taking it for granted that I do things for the community as a matter of course and it's not a joking matter with me anymore. Not after the bull**** in the thread where the prospect of anyone making a PDF manual supplement for all the patched stuff was discussed. Coming fairly hard on the heels of that, the demand that a new version of the DB be available the second the patch is out is pretty goddamn obnoxious and I'm not in the mood to listen to any jokes about it. ANY jokes around that issue. I've simply had it with that and I don't have any humor left over this issue, at all.

So if the first warning wasn't clear enough, this should be: I do not want any pestering about this issue, or any jokes either. If there's anyone stupid enough on the forums to want to dare me on this and see if I'm bluffing, everyone will suffer the consequences. It might be REALLY interesting to see the reaction if all of the useful stuff I have made available here were to vanish into thin air.

I'm not going to give a third warning. Any more lip, any more jokes about this, from anyone at all, and my stuff will start disappearing from public. Permanently. The bug shortlist is the only exception to that.

Edi, seeing this thread reminded me that I wanted to say that I hope you know that the time and effort you put into your Dom3 projects (and it must be a _staggering_ amount of time) is hugely appreciated by a great many of us. You make many, many projects possible that would otherwise not be, and your work is completely invaluable.

I do hope myself and others haven't failed to let you know our appreciation for all your work. The database is, honestly, quite incredible.

I warned people not to call my bluff. I was not kidding about it either, but apparently some people don't believe what they are told.

Dom3 DB v3.17 will not be released to the public at all.

I said I was not kidding and that there will be no further warnings. I don't make empty threats regarding documents I've produced myself. The previous post was not an empty threat and it was not a bluff. It was a promise.

The Dom3 FAQ is gone.
The UOR Mod manual is gone. The version I had ready for v3.17 with all the fixes for the will not be released.
The forum attachment of Better Independents mod is gone.
As soon as I get home, all of my Dominions 3 maps will be gone, likewise all copies of Dom3 DB 3.15 and earlier that I have delete access to.
The download version of Better Independents mod will be deleted.

The bug shortlist will be updated as normal and I will be around to maintain that.

The rest of the stuff is not coming back anytime soon, if at all. You can all thank Aezeal and paparapapa for that.

Edi, I don't blame you. I had a feeling someone would be stupid enough to throw out another annoying provocation - it seems when you have enough people there is always one in the crowd.

I don't expect you to put things back but I do second LLamabeast's post that what you have done is appreciated by the silent, non-provocative majority.

Aezeal · #8 May 29th, 2008, 03:34 PM

yay edi, you message me with your warning, I do nothing to agitate you afterwards (and the first post was a joke anyway) and you still put me on the blame list.

Well Edi, please don't spend any time on dom 3 anymore and go look for your sense of humor first. If your life is in the crapper don't take it out on pplz who are just posting a lil post on the forum (ow 2 if you include that other joke with whatever it was, you seem to remember it better than me) and joking a bit.

oh no now i'll never get to enjoy [censored] i never used provided by someone with a bigger entitlement complex than the people he's complaining about

good job being more childish than the people asking simple questions (or worse, making jokes!

). your posts and actions in this thread reflect far worse about you than any comment i or anybody else could hope to make. frankly it's ultimately a good thing if someone who puts out stuff to monopolize and threaten people with like you moves on to other things
