You better pray that it works. If not, a lot of gamers that bought this game are going to want your head on a plate.

That is so completely unnecessary that I can't imagine why you would say it but to be hurtful.

I was actually referring to those people whom you were referring to, i.e. those that would want Brad's head on a plate. I don't actually know if you would be counted among them.

Also, I'm not in anyway upset over your opinion. I'm just voicing my disagreement with those people you referred to, along with stating my difficulty in comprehending their viewpoints. Besides, you only said what is most probably true, though hopefully only figuratively speaking.



 

It seems very strange to me that anyone would take my statement literally, perhaps it's just the "liberal" element of which I'm gladly not one. Maybe I should translate my original post for their benefit: "You better pray that it works. If not, a lot of gamers that bought this game are going to be extremely angry." And, this is factually correct. A lot of people *will* be upset if the 1.1 patch doesn't work like it's hyped up to be. I see nothing wrong with the way I wrote my original statement, other than some "liberal," hand-holding, we-are-the world misinterpretation ... or political/media slant? ... all the same when it comes to liberals & liberalism.

I was in the military. I can remember this picture on the wall drawn by one of the guys in our avionics shop way back of a B1 bomber just after having nuked some huge city. There was this huge yellow-red mushroom cloud in the background, and there was a quote from the pilot in the foreground: "Now comes Miller Time!" I find this extremely funny, any of you liberal types that don't ... I don't care!

Some people need to look for something. Maybe you can find it in a level-4 goodie hut. It's called ... a sense of humor ... If you're lucky, you might find a "funny bone" on a level 5 quest. But, you'll need to research Tech knowledge Level 1 "analogies," level 2 "similies," and level 3 "metaphors" before you can get that far.

 

I don't think anyone actually took your statement literally. If anything, some might have been taken aback by the tone, as it could be mistakenly perceived as being threatening (though it is obviously not), given the structure, i.e. do action A or suffer consequence B, even though you are not actually making any sort of threat. If you were referring to my statement above, the key portion of which I have made bold, to clarify, I was hoping that those people being referred to would only figuratively want Brad's head on a plate and not actually. I did not mean to imply that you yourself meant it literally.

I don't really know what you mean when you refer to liberalists or liberalism, maybe because I don't live in the U.S. I think though that this is another of those situations where the same message could have been communicated in a way that is less prone to criticism. While you may be right about some people needing to be somewhat less sensitive or to take things with a little more humour, I think it would be more effective to speak with your target audience in mind, rather than admonishing them for not properly reading into what you meant to say.

After Wiki-ing the word "patch", wonder what kind of patch would V 1.1 be..

1) Nicotine patch - getcha gaming fix

2) Eye patch - arrrr, shiver me computers

3) Briar patch - dont dare touch it, let alone install..

 

What about a cabbage patch? Cheap but nourishing?

You missed the memo; the beta has been moved back to next week.

Reply #31 from Elemental Forums Top

I was hoping to play this game this weekend :(

I guess I can finish the campaign with 1.09e version.

Are we sure it's going to be next Thursday, that's Veteran's day, which many places get off in the US.

Guys, it's a beta of an in development patch. It gets here when it gets here.

This kind of constant worrying about dates is why companies like Blizzard rarely give them.

Seriously?  Government offices and banks.  Who else?  I would bet a meaningful amount of money that Veteran's Day isn't on the holiday schedule at Stardock.

I'm thinking froggy legs for dinner next week... gotta figure out where to buy some....

 

Reply #37 from Elemental Forums Top

Ah, skip the froggy legs.  I'm sure they taste just like chicken - and chicken is easier to get at the grocery.  Besides,  i saw an episode where kermie got caught by a french restaurateur, and he was hobbling around on crutches, (no legs left).  Was very sad.  Just think how froggy's 's children would react.  So, please leave his legs off the menu.
