The second picture is now my desktop wallpaper.

The choice of colors makes it look great, although the yellow tower seems to stand out a bit from the others.

I rarely ask this, but will you release a save when you complete?

Someone's jealous.

Are you loving stupid?

Ok, lets break this down so even your small mind can understand it, shall we?

Afkpuz made a post on Sirrus's "Empire Tower" build saying that same comment. Refer to http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=56742.165, the 7th post down. So as a simple joke Sirrus copy+pasted the same exact comment that Afkpuz made on his build, on this one. As he stated it was a joke and didnt mean anything.

Understand now little boy?

Not exactly the same, but similar.

Okay, I'll tear down the fourth wall. He posted that in my Empire Tower thread. I was being silly.

And the black/white theme is badass.
Stop being a whiney bitch. Your attention-whoring got you a 20 page thread about a crappy, unfinished build. Seriously, the colors suck, the shape sucks, and the concept art sucks, and yet you're still convinced you're a good builder. This build is lovey, afkpuz is a great builder, and your jibber jabber should be replaced by "Thank you for your guidance, Zen Master afkpuz".


Seems like you made some progress since I saw it in person. It's a wonderful build, really dreamy. This would not look strange as an illustration of a fairy tale.

"Once upon a time, over the mountains of glass, far beyond the shores stood a kingdom in the water, with the castle proudly towering to the bright blue sky..."

This is awesome!  :cookie:  :cookie:  :cookie:  :cookie: 's to you

The forget? It's not a 'crappy build' as you put it. Not at all. I'm not deluding myself, and I wasn't attention whoring. The whole reason I put it up in the first place was community input. Could you imagine how much the build would've sucked if I didn't take suggestions? This guy, afkpuz, gave me input which I headed and changed some things in the build. The build is better now. I have him to thank. The attention I've gotten is nice, of course, but the whole reason I posted it was to get people's comments along the way. It's so hard to build something of that magnitude without people saying 'yeah, good job, this is great'. That is attention. It is not attention whoring. I feel like a broken record, but I need to pound the point in. Let me show you some quotes that contradict everything you said:

-Colors-

No. Anyways, looks nice. Keep the colors, mate.

-Shape/Concept-
(before the first picture was posted)

Looks nice, i would love to see this in brick form. :D
Nice. Looks great :D

-Bad build-
you just made my eyes climax.

Pretty respectable members, in there. And the bad build? Yeah, there are many more posts stating otherwise, I didn't feel like going through and pulling out all of them.

Anyway, the only people to call me a bad builder in regards to the Empire Tower have been LoserHero, afkpuz, and you, I believe. Now, I can't touch your guy's skills, and I'm not going to pretend that I'm better than you, because I'm not, but don't call me a stuffty builder, because I'm not.

Sirrus, seriously I don't even know where to begin with you. Stop being such a butthurt friend, and learn what constructive criticism means.


Stop and take notes at this time.


How you can attack this build in that manner is beyond me. Afkpuz's style of building hasn't changed ever. I'm completely appalled you are so bent out of shape that you need to attack this thread. I don't know what got in your head to possess you into thinking you possess every Renaissance style of architecture from Italy, but I mean seriously drat.

I have watched this build progress from little more than platforms into a sprawling castle, everything flows together nicely. I really am serious when I say I find it appalling that people can't give others credit for spending time and making great builds. Really this has to be a low point in the gallery, which I haven't seen in a long time. It's very disparaging.

Best of luck with the rest of the build Afkpuz.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I would call it a duck, or in this case: a crappy build.

Then why are you being an ass in this thread by taking a quote out of context and applying it to something  that isn't relevant at all.

I'd say this pretty much invalidates your point...

I think this pretty much backs up my opinion about your tower...

I think that picture would make a nice wallpaper when/if you finish it.


I saw the Island Castle in person awhile ago, looked awesome. Keep up the good work afkpuz.

Sirrus, seriously I don't even know where to begin with you. Stop being such a butthurt friend, and learn what constructive criticism means.

How you can say he stole your build is complete and utter bullstuff. Afkpuz's style of building hasn't changed ever. I'm completely appalled you are so bent out of shape that you need to attack this thread. I don't know what got in your head to possess you into thinking you created every Renaissance style of architecture from Italy, but I mean seriously drat.

Ronin, you either didn't read my posts or didn't make the connection; it was in jest that I made my first post in this thread. Some idiot that didn't make the connection  that he made that post in my thread, Destroyer realized it, I said the post was a joke, and everyone else rolled with my first post like it was serious. I guess my only fault was not stating that I loved this build, which I do. I'm not being butthurt about afkpuz attacking my build. Someone just made a false connection and everyone else rolled with it.

As for the constructive criticism part, that's the whole reason I posted the build! I wanted people to rip it a new one so that I knew how to stitch it up. I actually said something to that effect in my response to Geek.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I would call it a duck, or in this case: a crappy build.
What? I already think we went over the fact that it wasn't a crappy build.

Then why are you being an ass in this thread by taking a quote
 out of context and applying it to something  that isn't relevant at all.
If it inflates your ego, I have no idea why I posted it in the first place. Probably just to be silly.

I can't speak as strongly for NickTheSushi and Sockton, but Netwars is a respected member and Magick Mage is a decent builder.

I'd say this pretty much invalidates your point...

I think this pretty much backs up my opinion about your tower...
I assume you build that. Let me be the first to say that that build is better than mine. So what? Just because there are better things in the field that I'm working in doesn't mean that my stuff is automatic stuff. The best thing you can conjure up is not the benchmark, it's the pinnacle. Everything beneath it is not as good, but there's still good stuff and bad stuff beneath it.



All this drama is my fault, okay, but it's not in my nature to bend over and take it. If I think I'm right, and you're wrong, I'm going to call you out on it. If I thought you were right, I'd probably say something to the effect of 'sorry, my bad, whatever' and drop it, but I don't see myself in the wrong in any other place than making one stupid post.

(I bolded that for you so you know what to attack first, no need to thank me.)

You apparently don't read edits either.


And you need to get out. But before you do, tell me who the respected members of the community who posted in you Empire Tower thread.
