Can't you people think for yourselves?
1. Quit re-opening dead zones that no one likes. They're dead for a reason, 'cause they're boring or lame.
2. Quit ripping off everyone else.
3. Hire staff that doesn't suck so much. There's so many zones that need a good firing of staff because of abuse or just plain ignorance.
4. Quit re-opening dead zones!
5. Quit re-opening dead zones!
6. Quit re-opening dead zones!
Ok I'm done. |

7. Why be staff in a small, newbie zone? Even DSB and TW and 17th have the need for new, good, staff!  _________________

Chances of moving up the ranks in a smaller zone are better, plus 17th is too slow, DSB is lame, and TW is TW. Plus in smaller zones lower ranked staff tend to feel more like apart of the team, espically when their owner is say Dock> who's got enough to do, and I assume doens't get to know every one of his mods. |

Not all smaller zones are populated by staff. Omega Fire for example has little staff, mainly because they're all on vacation right now :\ However, zones like Halo have a ton of staff, which are all players. So I'd have to agree, and disagree with your statement. |

Syrus, OF was a dead zone, and was brought back =/ IS it not possible that a dead zone, brought back at the right time, can become well liked and appreciated? I think so. _________________ I know that I myself cannot do anything, that I will fall, and that I am a sinful man, but I know that I can do ANYTHING through God Almighty, whom strengthens me. |

It all depends on the reasons it dies. OF "officially" died not due to it being unpopular, but other reasons, and then was brought back by a group of dedicated players. _________________ This help is informational only.

Don't forget these:
1. Making zones named after other video games
2. Making zones with people as ships. |

Continuum was Originaly created for flagging and such, although others where added. If you say creating a flagging game is "ripping" off of other zones....then you obvious dont know that Continuum was built for it.
PS- Continuum has a limited amount of styles that can be used. Therefore, people tend to stick with things such as Flagging..ctf...etc. Creating a new style would require MUCH work, and MUCH thought. It took me a long time to create my new style that could be used in SS. SS has limited things it can do, especially since it is not open source. I could not even do my new style because of a lack of bot developers. I even tried handing the theme out to zone owners, but it was to complex for them i guess  |

You mean Subspace was created for flagging. Continuum isn't Subspace. |

Its the same thing 1st
Anyways, it was a theme i created that i do not want to post right now, for I would rather it not be stolen by untrustworthy people =/
If you'd like to use it, and can have a developer help you or are a developer, i'd be more then willing to give it to you (on ends that you add "Theme created by Confess+" in the news/etc) |

Confess! Give it up already! If you are too paranoid or otherwise unwilling to make ANYTHING public and think that all of YOUR ideas should stay in YOUR hands only, then GTFO SS.
If you, instead of PriitK, had made Continuum you probably would have kept the client to yourself for goodness sake. |

Its MY idea, no? Therefore i have EVERY right of keeping it to myself, i said if you wanted it, you may contact me. What does this do? It keeps there from being floodations of this idea going around. i've already shared this idea with a few, as i've said.
Listen, if I have a toy, do i have to share it? (Im putting it in kiddy language because you obviously cant think out of that box) It belongs to me, and If i want to let you have it for 5 minutes, I can either do so, or not do so. I've chosen to give it out, but im not going to make it public what the toy was. |

If you have a cure for cancer do you share it? It belongs to you, and if you want to cure someone, you can either do so or not do so. You chose who gets the cure and who doesn't. |

If teh cure is yours, you have every right to say "Fuck you, i have cancer" if theres only 1 cure that could EVER be made/used. |

Once again I have to lay the smack down.
First of all I am ashamed to ever have liked Confess+ the slightest bit in the past. He has proved to be a complete and total anal retentive whore.
Second. Confess, you are getting way too carried away with this shit. You sound like those companies trying to patent http so they can collect a commission on it.
If you have an idea that's fine and dandy. If you don't want to share it, that's also fine. But don't go around acting like you're the shit and everything you think of should have us on our hands and knees worshipping the ground you walk on.
I'm sorry but you are in all honesty one of the dumbest people I have ever come in contact with in this game. Your posts make no sense and it's gotten to the point where you can do nothing except point fingers at everyone thinking that they all must be out to get you because you're the fricking man.
Well, as I get out this pin and deflate your ego why don't you sit back and actually read what you've been posting for the last several weeks. Maybe you can come to the same conclusion as the rest of these forums that you are in fact completely and utterly stupid.
If you cannot come to this conclusion on your own then I hope that my pointing it out will help some. I cannot believe you have the audasity to actually post this shit and think that any of it is valid.
The End. |
