I have to agree with lostatlimbo here. I really have no sympathy for anyone who bins their maps in protest. You're doing this to yourself; the site isn't doing this to you. I really am tired of this.lostatlimbo wrote:Every time I see a post about "What is wrong with the foundry", I can't help but think of all the hissyfits that take place here.

No, I agree with you there; I never said anything to the contrary.natty dread wrote:Oh my grandma, what a big sense of entitlement you have!
You think you have some kind of right to get to play my map? You think I'm somehow obligated to finish it? Well think again, it's my artwork, my intellectual property, I can do whatever I want with it. If I want to bin it, there's nothing you can do about it, apart from making your own Eurasia map.
Natty, I stated my opinion on the matter - that is all. If you don't take kindly to what I said, fair enough, but it seems hardly appropriate to resort to petty insults. Again, you are the one throwing your progress away, not me, not nobodies, not Andy, not lack, not anyone but you. So, sure, you could say I don't know what it takes to make a map, as I haven't created the art for one up to now, but the point stands regardless: if it takes a lot (or even if it doesn't take a lot) to create even one map from start to finish, you are still the one making the decision to throw away all of the hours you put into this project.natty dread wrote:Which reminds me...
Where's your map project, Sully? What's that... could it be in the bin? You talk big, but until you have some idea what it takes to create even one map from start to finish, kindly shut the hell up.
Wow, I can't believe what an incredible asshole you have become. You're maps are good I'll give you that, but that doesn't justify acting like a colossal dick. You can put whatever spin you want on your actions but the only people you are really hurting are yourself and the people who want to play your maps and enjoy your work. However, you clearly don't give a shit about the people on this site. You only care about your self and your own standing with the "foundry elite"natty dread wrote:Oh my grandma, what a big sense of entitlement you have!

This is nothing new, he's been an asshole for years! Maybe not to everyone but at least to me. He takes too much personally, and has a huge ego. I'm sure he'll say the same about me though lol.The Bison King wrote:Wow, I can't believe what an incredible asshole you have become.natty dread wrote:Oh my grandma, what a big sense of entitlement you have!

it won't change anything apart qualityDiM wrote:...I actually wonder sometimes what would happen if nobody made maps anymore
what if all the current map makers would say bin my maps until lack actually does something for the foundry?
what if no new map makers would arise, or if they would they'd say "we're willing to become map makers but only if lack gives us updates for the foundry?
would this make a difference?
would this force lack to finally show he cares?
or would he simply shut down the foundry?
This site will survive without mapmakers for a long time because it already has 200 + maps! A strike will not be an effective way to get the message across. I'm pretty sure lack already knows that we want new tools because we've been quite vocal about it. And even if he hasn't read our suggestions I'm sure nobodies has relayed our (and his own) opinions on the matter.pamoa wrote:it won't change anything apart quality
with the number of player on the site
their will always be someone to put an unconsidered amount of hours just to sign a map like we did
and with the number of maps already on-line
their is plenty of time to restart any foundry process from scratch
I don't know the issue natty is having with lack
but as it is his site
any of his decision will always be subject to personal feelings
like any decision taken by a human being on earth
that how humankind works
the only thing is that's it is sad to loose such a mapand mapmaker
