Go to Post The rules are the rules, but if the rules get so ridiculous some of us may choose not to play anymore and that is the bigger shame. - Paul Copioli [more]

Re: GDC you have failed us.

On top of that, it must be $@#$@#$@#$@# near impossible to design a game, you may disagree, but you should try it once. I imagine 100k people lawyering your rules, complaining about the rules or just saying how boring it is will prove you wrong.
As a volunteer myself, I would never hold myself to a lower standard to someone doing paid work, nor would I expect other people to do so. Yes, the GDC does deserve a lot of praise for the unpaid work they have put into FIRST, and I have to admit that I have not been doing enough of that-there are a lot of things this game does very well. But there are some things that I, and other people, think it does not do well, and constructive criticism is always a positive. The GDC, to their credit, has always seemed quite open to it; I imagine they have more important things to do right now then to respond to all of the threads slamming them right now on these boards. Now, there are some people here that have gone a little bit beyond constructive criticism; the title of this thread, for example, strikes me as a little bit beyond the line. But as long as people stick to being constructive, I don't believe there's anything wrong with what they're doing.

(P.S.: I do, in fact, have some game ideas. I didn't post them because I didn't really come back to this board until the game hint... err... what's the opposite of exodus? Err, anyway, you get what I mean... but no, I don't think I could do better then the GDC! I would change a few things... >_>)
