I think it's plainly clear that most would agree with Shroud's statement.
That wasn't the problem. The problem was you claiming that a) there was some sort of "truth" and b) the unnerving suggestion that there were again something like good and bad people and the bad people didn't know that contextual jumping was a bad idea in the first place. I have no problem with objective criticism, but opinions presented as fact/truth or the hubris in claiming the privilege of knowing what (and who!) is correct and what isn't, is IMHO beneath contempt.
@Shroud: Unfortunately the Shroud
is obtrusive right now (or at least a month ago when I had the chance to play it). But I hope, with XP points already gone and all that, that it can be disabled or will be left out altogether.

Oh noes - swooping. The effrontery!!!
I think it must have been a pretty unsatisfying job. Aside from the game getting a shed-load of flak all the time, it never seemed like Adam was being allowed enough slack to do the job he being was asked to do. So he'd come and post here, but wasn't permitted to say anything that hadn't already been said. Kinda pointless and frustrating for all I'm sure.

I have to admit, it's hard to peddle a game to a community that knows a forgery when they see one...b1skit was caught between a rock and a hard place, thanks to EM's misguided choices...and it isn't any wonder, as to why he could not bear his unfortunate position...no doubt, nearly driven insane by what he had to say, day after day.

Yes, he had a hard job but that doesn't excuse how awful he was at it. Yes we are a pain in the ass community to engage with, but that doesn't excuse rudeness, dismissal and pointless rubbish threads being posted instead of addressing the concerns and questions of your community. He very clearly positioned himself above the community instead of within it and personally I'm glad he's gone.

Me too, Shayde.
Those "pointless rubbish threads" you speak of, were his attempt to evade the unwanted pertinent inquiries...filling up space with fluff and nonsense, in the foolish hope of changing the community's disposition...:laff:

Happy to hear that b1skit has been fired...
Was he fired or did he leave voluntarily though ?
All I've seen is this

MT claims he left for family reasons. I have no opinion as to whether that's true or not. I don't think it's any of our business, personally.

They should get a real Thief fan in there. jtr would be a good choice if they had someone who could edit his posts.

Couldn't have said it better. I've seen more "rabid" communities and the CMs were always respectful even when they took buckets of shit in the face. This guy was not.

I dunno about that. Compare the oldschool Fallout developers and their rare interactions with the NMA crowd. Tim Cain and co. usually tried being at least a little political, but their replies were always loaded with tons of subtle snark and derision.
And the NMA people deserved it. I know it's disappointing seeing your favorite game series take a downturn and all, but COMEON!
