RTB - Why shut it down vs. defer leadership?

[EcstaticEggplant]

I'd be annoyed too if after I approved some little turds update they went out of their way to PM me a snarky comment.  Stop trying to justify being a prick.

Btw sorry you guys are having to make do with that Blockland Glass stuff, I genuinely feel bad about that

can't deny that ephi is being a bit of a prick here too

A long time ago we used the pudding icon to imply sarcasm so he totally doesn't give a stuff at all. Can't blame him though.

Pretty much all the emoticons have gone through their cycle to denote some flavor of sarcasm. My personal favorite was .

I see people use that one more to express lightheartedness in a post that may not come off that way.

What the forget did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the forget out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that stuff to me over the Internet? Think again, forgeter. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little stuff. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will stuff fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re loving dead, kiddo.

Ephialtes went full sperglord because he realized he was going nowhere. I mean I don't know what he expects, he wasn't a paid developer for blockland. He was just an experienced modder and that's all he knew he was going to be.

RTB wasn't originally his but he took control of it later on. So he could have given it to someone else instead of shutting it down.

Also was the absolute worst moderator I've seen.

[Lord Tony®]

personally i like to think that ephialtes didn't want anyone else working on what he made so he just threw it out the window and didn't tell anyone where to find it

He didn't originally make RTB though.

[Lord Tony®]

Ephialtes also abused RTB to get into Bisjac's passworded server just so he could talk to Bisjac's girlfriend.

I'm curious, who did?

<lmargin%:5><rmargin%:95><font:Arial Bold:20>Who Made RTB?

<font:Arial Bold:20>Digi<font:Arial:16>
Digi was the guy that first thought of RTB. His ideal mod was one that was designed specifically as a "framework" for other mods to plug in to. Sadly, Digi did not have enough time to work on the project, so Leadership was handed over to ReD_eYe.

<font:Arial Bold:20>ReD_eYe<font:Arial:16>
The Used-To-Be Lead Coder, and Head of RTB, until he disappeared mysteriously. He made most of the core code, and other things like the Editor Wand (First Version) and Cops and Robbers.

<font:Arial Bold:20>Rotondo<font:Arial:16>
The General Handy-Man. Rotondo can do almost anything you throw at him. Mostly Rotondo does Modelling for RTB, but also does some coding here and there, like the Brick Decals.

<font:Arial Bold:20>Mocheeze<font:Arial:16>
Mocheeze is our Artist. Hes the most skilled guy at vector art I (Ephi) have met in a long time, and is responsible for our high quality Decals, and Brick Colours. He is also our Webmaster for http://ReturnToBlockland.com/.

<font:Arial Bold:20>Ephialtes<font:Arial:16>
Ephialtes does most of the core coding for RTB. He has been recoding the Movers, Editor Wand, Game Modes and GUI for a while and has made such things as the Bombs.

<font:Arial Bold:20>Nitram<font:Arial:16>
Nitram is currently one of the feature programmers. He has made things like the Cameras, and the new Bots which have been seen around the place. This guy is just awesome with AI.

<font:Arial Bold:20>Astro<font:Arial:16>
Astro joined us through Mocheeze, and has since then been a very valuable member of the team. He is very good with high quality modelling, but also very skilled with coding, so he is a generally useful guy.

<font:Arial Bold:20>Many Thanks To:<font:Arial:16>
Moose - For being such a strange yet amusing person.
All our BETA Testers - For helping us root out the Little Bugs we left behind.
TommyLM - For drawing us that hot background we have.
Sean Pollock for the great IRC chat resource, TGE Lobby.
All the Guys in the Forums - For giving us Suggestions, Bug Reports and Criticisms: They have helped so much!

The main creators were ReD_eYe and Ephialtes, and since ReD_eYe disappeared, that basically put Ephi in charge, so he was at least half of RTB's creator

Maybe not publicly, but he was definitely being dramatic about things privately. This is a PM I got from him just a few days before the shutdown.
For the record the comment was 'Took long enough' after my add-on had sat waiting review for over a month.

for starters: you were a turd. i would've said the same thing.

second: what ephilates does privately doesn't mean stuff because there's legitimately no way to verify it.
