Title: Missing old friends
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 20, 2013, 09:26:45 PM
Would someone do me the favor of running over to WPC and PMing Sergeant P. A. Muldoon to tell him I'm here and would be delighted to talk?  He just tried to send me a PM...

Okydoke...

Edit: done. Couldn't find him at first try in the member list, but starting to create a PM popped his nick up.

He was by last weekend, I think, after we last talked about him - lots we can do to reach out to people, not so much with getting them posting up a storm.  I don't worry too much that we've lost someone who at least checks by from time to time if the time in question is a month or less.

I want to mention Davyboy and NewAgeOfPower, AC2 mainstays who kinda just wandered off for no reason I'm aware of.  Anybody know what the deal is, and/or want to ping them?
Title: Re: Missing old friends

Anyone else got any to mention?  This kind of reaching out can really pay off...

I don't know of anyone leaving here in anger or something, if that's what you're asking.

Though to go a lot further back, I really would like to talk to Illuminatus, if I thought he'd listen.

It's not funny; what he believes about me is wrong, and I'd rather correct the problem.

We've actually tried with Googlie this year - got people working Datalinks upgrades.

We both take a dim view of lying.  With most people, if I tried to bury the hatchet, I'd do the standard making nice thing - with him, I'd try to convince him he was wrong.  I think he could handle it,    ---   maybe.

Back to Googlie, he said he'd come sign up, but hasn't yet.  No harm at all in you or anyone else pinging him.  We all miss Googlie, and for that matter, Googly Boogly, to make it extra confusing. 

Let's make that confusion happen!

A thought, Geo - you've been around the community from before God's dad was born; would there be any use in some manner of recognition for community Elders?  A badge or a membergroup (the way I can give custom user titles) for people like Petek, you, Maniac, Darsnan, and Mart?  Would that flatter anyone or make them happier at all?  Am I leaving any AC2 members out?  gwilly?

(Last year I was thinking of a subforum Senior clubhouse, Grampaw Has a Story, or Old Folks Home, where you Elderly could talk to each other and reminisce.  I'd love to get DarkCloud in something like that and get some community history written up.  Petek is too much a gentleman to agree with my admitting it was a dumb idea, but he did say there's no harm in trying...)
Title: Re: Missing old friends
Post by: Geo on September 03, 2013, 03:27:07 PM
I really don't feel the need for a badge or membership of a forum group, BUncle. But thanks for the thought.
Guess I'm too egalitarian for that kind of thing.   ;)

...He was never that involved in the community.  He made his AI patch, he shared it with us, and I believe his attitude is that that's that.

However, no harm could possibly come of PMing him a fan letter along the lines of what you just posted, and, who knows?, might do some good...

Alexander - hasn't posted at the Frog Pond in almost two months, and I'm more on his pooplist than he's on mine (for reasons too stupid to get into, and no actual big deal), but a genuine SMACer and a fascinating individual whom I'd love to get over here talking history.  Also, I miss him. 

Somebody PLEASE run over there and ping him with a URL and an invitation from you and me.  Excellent history-discussion threads in Rec Commons are sure to result. ;b;

Post by: Buster's Uncle on September 30, 2013, 03:21:43 PM
I M serious.  Someone probably from Firaxis -claiming to be him and the management believed it- made a post promoting one of those Farmville-type Civ iterations a few years ago.  I figured "what the heck?" and pinged 'im with a link and a few nice words about how much his game meant to a lot of us, and rhetorically asking "Who doesn't enjoy being worshipped once in a while?".

So go PM Alexander for me.

I was sent a PM from Larrin, my first graphics protégé and a heckuva quick study, this afternoon, but if he checks the email address I have for him very often, it's taken care of.  However, if anyone's over at the Pond to PM Alexander anyway, please get Larrin, too...

We'd need to, and ought to try...  I love the guy.  Everyone loves Ribtickler, or is a jerk.

Heck, I should PM Dale myself, since he's already a member.  I'm serious that we shouldn't just let that crowd be subsumed into CFC or just drop out - 'poly has made a place for them, but you and I both know that that would be a very hard sell, and we just as well throw our hat in with our favorites.  Uno would love to have Big Dork here.  People should be talking to people.  This community is made of people, and there are some fine ones over there.

E_T, BTW - he's Green1's brother practically, posting drunk sometimes and disappearing for long stretches and irritating the heck out of me sometimes - but I love the guy and he takes an interest in his forum home and its health and tries to help, also like Green.  I want E_T, and only bad-mouth in public out of love. ;)  We can use more of that kind of crazy, and I'm serious.  Drunk posting is mostly funny.

Green, I do love ya, man.  Moar drunk posting. :D

Title: Re: Missing old friends
Post by: Buster's Uncle on May 17, 2014, 10:30:11 PM
I actually did, and I said we'd fight sometimes because we have a complex relationship and we fight sometimes, but if neither of us goes for the throat, it'll work out. :)  Do not get unduly alarmed when Dale and I fight - I told him he could be ruder to me than anyone else.

Dale, I'd love if you invited some people at your discretion you have no reason to think I'd object to - even Bantams if he either doesn't troll me (a little is okay, just not constantly and/or really mean) or mind getting banned frequently. ;nod  This is a big tent, and diversity is good.
Title: Re: Missing old friends
Post by: Dale on May 17, 2014, 10:42:15 PM
TBH, I don't even argue like I used to.  Gave up, seriously.  You probably haven't noticed but I haven't argued politics or global warming or anything else controversial at WPC or CFC for the longest time.  Too many other things going on, like family, scouts, games.

So the bottom line is, you might be sadly disappointed and regret inviting me, since I'm no longer the vocal conservative, but am now the grumpy old-timer on the verandah chair watching the current generation (all persuasions) f**k this place up.  :)
Title: Re: Missing old friends
Post by: Buster's Uncle on May 17, 2014, 10:53:25 PM
I had noticed you not trolling politics/GW at WPC anymore, but haven't been paying attention to your CFC activities at all since I quit looking at their BE folder.  Big Red Mod Notices wear on my nerves terribly.

As I hinted in the PM, I've realized the futility of arguing on the net, myself - I guess we're growing up, if belatedly.

Huge good news for WPC - one of my secret sources (it was Nikolai) just told me they've finally fixed the "problem with logging in and registering on WPC" and asks me to put the word out.  I just did.

I also just quoted from a real PM and should ban myself.  Do not ask me who my source was, though.

Some people may have multiple user names that they use across different sites.

It would be hard for folks to find someone like me on unrelated sites I jump to. I am assuming it would be the same for others.

Add to that, years pass. I know people that were hardcore gamer types. But, sometimes they got heavy into other things. Sometimes they married someone or had kids. One of my good buddies was a mainstay in any gaming activity I did. However, he married this girl and they started plopping out multiple kids. Add to that he is a firefighter, 3rd degree Black Belt, and EMT, he has no time to game anymore. Sad, too.

Mostly people in the Civ community use the same handle, or similar, throughout the community, AFAIK.

And never any harm with trying with someone missing - they might not come back, but they might if they get the ping.  You never know - and former members, of course, are proven quantities compared to newbs, who we DO want, but even the most promising ones mostly wander off after a month...  You just have to shotgun to everyone and play the numbers.  It pays off.

Makes sense. It may be because the Civ community seems to stick with one genre. I guess I am an oddball here, but I prefer to use a different handle for different type genres. That way, particularly if I made a faux pas, I could recover a bit easier. But, it also handicaps me because I have done a lot of good things and one handle can not benefit from the content of another. I do suppose if someone was alert enough and paid attention to my posting style, I could be revealed. But, I would care not either way at this point.

Only goes too far if you also mention that Foster's sucks as a beer. Only Americrap Budwieser products can match the crappiness of Aussie brew.

But, I like Aussies. Only the Russians can match them in in matching how I game. But, I can understand at least half of what Aussies say while a Russian must speak English and they can talk smack  behind my back by speaking to each other in their little private language right in my face.

I reached out to an old friend a week ago -great guy, though we'd quarreled over a creative collaboration not long before we lost touch, but not immediately before - and it can't be a coincidence that he showed up at the place where I pinged him shortly afterwards after five months away and got active.

But no answer to my ping.  ...  Message received.

[furrows brow]  I'd have sworn that not only was he flat dead wrong in our point of contention, but that I, at the most unfavorable interpretation I'd find even faintly reasonable, got no more nasty about it than he did.  In actual fact, I was guilty of no more than asserting my hard-earned experience and authority on the subject and getting a little stubborn.  I kept suggesting we move on and finish a rough draft of the project before we fought that one issue out.  Thing is, it's just stupid to put your foot down and treat a collaborator as art robot in the area of his expertise - I wasn't even the one who walked away and killed a lovely project, out of line as he was in every way, and I let it go a long time ago.  Sighhh.

Most of the invitations I put out don't work, so it's not that, but it just puzzles me that someone I think so highly of can be so small about something so long dead. :(

Maybe they just wish not to be bothered or have moved on to where things just are not as important.

For instance, there was this person who was in the big World of Warcraft guild I was in who tracked me down last year. I got the message, but just did not bother. No insult to her, but it just was not worth my time. Add to that she always was the guild chat attention [prostitute] along with rumored numerous cross country shenanigans.

The internet can be funny hat way, as can real life. Some things that may seem important to one, may be trivial to another.

I did, however, receive a phone call from an old guildee 2 years back. We talked about Eve and old WoW for about an hour but have not talked since. I do not think I even have his number or contact info anymore.  I think he as well as I were missing the old days. I guess that is what it comes down to. There is no connection online except what things folks have in common. If that disappears, there is nothing.

I would not worry too much.

Hell, there are some that will not even talk to me over drama. Pretty petty stuff. Mostly from my alter ego on the Twisting Nether WoW server. My fault, too. I developed a sense of Unwarranted Self Importance - a common malady that inflicts nerds that are givena measure of power who have never handled such power before. But hey, I learned a valuable lesson. Positions I had after that, I realized that it was more for public service because I could do something, not a status that is illusory and transient anyways. Too bad I was a jerk at times.   Maybe a few on Eve, but you should not be playing Eve if you have inabilities to not get mad over a video game or are able to separate your online persona from your actual self. Even on Eve, I was older and a bit wiser. I AM a villain with honor. These people needed "content and drama" to make them better people and were insulting and got on my nerves.

I was always aware of my power as a common member - I'm a modder, a teacher of modding and an activity dynamo.  I create content and encourage others to do same.  I do more good than harm when I'm treated with respect - and I know how to vote with my feet if some nerdbadged fool gets uppity.

This is why I put up with being the nerdbadged fool myself here, and all the work that comes with that; I finally found a place where I don't have to prove it's a bad idea to make me unhappy - and from a safe position, I get to be a lot more gentle, which is the guy I want to be. ;nod

Do you have the equipment to handle Beyond Earth modding or even play the game if it happens to take off like Alpha Centauri did? What kind of rig is in the BU command center?

As for myself, I am assuming if I can run Civ 5 or Age of Wonders 3 on low settings, I should not have many issues. I may build something much later down the road.

Oh, my machine was basic specs 3 years ago when I got it - if I do any BE modding, it will be with screenies someone supplied me - I've never had 5, but did a pile of avatars when it came out anyway.

Actually, I should upload said pile to the installed stuff, shouldn't I?  I think I'll do that now.

I will probably not get involved with Civ:BE due to a very limited financial budget. My computer was basic and standard 4 years ago.

Hmm.  That reminds me to boot FileZilla and upload some Civ II & 5 avatars...

Edit: Please wait while uploading of several hundred avatar goodies is in progress...

Well, I'm pretty pleased with myself - I was spying on Nikolai at WPC (way to go, Nik! - but you should linkback the leader model article...) when I saw Arcainite was onsite - I won't log in for just anything, but this made the cut.  A quick PM later, he signed up here almost instantly.  It never goes that easily.

Real life?  I dunno - I think he was feeling a bit burned out on the whole forum experience when we started up here.

Promise you'll try to track me down if I ever leave or forget about this place? I don't plan to, but I didn't plan to take a hiatus from the [Insert thing here] forums for the last year or 2 either.
I like this forum though. I matter here because sometimes I'm the only person online.

For the next month I'm still the last person online. :D
