You know, with all this stuff happening all the time, it kinda makes me want to go away, so I don't have to know about this anymore.
Whenever something new is created or added some asshole player has to come and demand it be removed. They're not forced to use the new thing, but they need it removed.
Like Alpha, or chubby.
And often they get their wish.
Why should anyone care to hang around if a sefish fuck like Alpha can lobby and have their work deleted? Alpha doesn't do shit, EVER. Neither does chubby, neither does ANY of the players who demand things be _removed_. Yet they have sway. The wind carries their voice.
Players should never have the ability to get some option removed. If they want some additional option they can code it, or model it, or do whatever they want to make it a reality... but no they never do that because really they do not give a damn in hell (and that's pretty cheap) about Nexuiz, all that they care about is their OWN SKILL, and maintining that through ANY MEANS: ESPECIALLY BY MAKING DAMN SURE THAT THE GAME NEVER HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF CHANGING FROM WHATEVER STATE THEY FOUND IT IN.
If there are no new possible challenges on any server than the player can retain his domination without learning new skills or how to counter them: he only has to maintain his existing abilities and tricks.
When you remove a feature you delete the original code and any additional code that went into it, you delete the model or models another man made to support that code, you nullify and degrade whatever maps still other men made with that feature in mind.
You disrespect and throw out the work of so many men, and for what? So that some players that do nothing but play, who will eventually move on to some other game and feed on that developer and forum community before moving on to yet another game, can maintain the elietness for whatever extended period they choose to haunt the atmosphere.
Nexuiz is good because it keeps expanding, not because Alpha has a high frag to death ratio, and certainly not because he can maintain that.
(Note: Ofcourse, those are just my views and mine alone)
