Haha, thanks.

Have fun in your completely vanilla Blockland. Oh and since you hate all modders, you can't even play with the default add-ons enabled.
Because those are ... say it with me now ... mods.

Also Badspot has made mods and is thus a - again, say it with me - modder.


But that's an argument for another drama topic.

But those do not modify the game since there default, the correct word you are looking for is updates. :)

i do have fun in my vanilla blockland. and when my servers are up, i have more building and higher population than anyone. its been the case for the better pat of 6 years.

You really should host more now in days.

Ah, so if I play without the bow enabled, the bow will still be enabled?
Thanks for setting me straight, that makes everything so much clearer now.

you sound mad. are you just upset that you cant build?

You also sound mad. Are you just upset that you can't code?

Although I'm a low-quality scripter, I agree with Xalos.

First of all, there's a difference between pointing out issues/flaws with the add-on, and using this issue to make the creator upset or just not caring at all.

Pointing out any issues or flaws is one thing, and it's extremely helpful to the creator. However, like your example, calling the creator a 'crappy add-on maker' or something else is just plain rude.

Second, if you're going to point out any problems, you should really remember that the creator probably worked hard (especially if the creator is still learning) on it and doesn't want some idiot coming in and bashing the add-on.

The same should go for server hosts too. I host frequently and I really don't like it when another host comes in and calls my server 'bad' or 'low-quality' without really giving a reason why.

ITT: Xalos is insecure about his stuffty addons.

-another person who clearly hasn't read the thread; joy!-

I'm not complaining about criticism, I'm complaining about stuffty criticism.

Good criticism: "Seventh, your latest theory hinges on a butterfly flapping its wings. Are you sure that's right?"
This thread's focus: "Seventh, you're a loving moron. Turn in your detecting badge right the forget now. What actually happened is *blatantly wrong theory*."

You can either take the advice or leave it. The fact that this person offered their scripting prowess up for your utilization is a kind gesture in and of itself, he can provide it with as much or as little starfishry as he wants. If you don't want his advice, tell him to forget off. You seem to believe that you'd have been fine without his rude intervention, so tell him to leave you alone or slap him with a ban. I try to be as nice as possible when I'm helping people with code, but I reserve my right to call them a handicap if they can't follow my most basic instructions then blame me for their failure.

Do you at least own up when you write an Я instead of an R?

[$trinick]

I think that's a pretty poor brown townogy because I haven't written an R backwards in fifteen years, but yeah, I do.

Nobody actually creates perfect code the first time around, except me. But there's only one of me.

That's a really dumb example.

Not everyone is so good at coding that they can fix stuff. You shouldn't bash someone just because you're better than them at something.

Yep, definitely didn't read the massive three page anthology of this drama thread.

I'm not obligated to structure my comments like formal rhetorical debate, and I'm not going to.

I didn't give an example in my post. I do think that someone who expends their time helping you with your project for nothing in return has a right to act however they want, though.

Meant to say something else, my bad.

No one said anything about 'forcing' where did you get this idea? This is trying to let people know to try to be nicer to those newer to scripting.
