[quote who="Pyruvate12" reply="11" id="2865492"] Quoting Wintersong, reply 10 Welcome to Elemental a strategy game in an RPG world. I thought that my comment might elicit one such as yours. I understand the combination of the RPG and strategy generas; in fact I like the concept very much. In parentheses with my statement I said "if at all", and I think that applies here. Attention to detail matters regardless of genera, and I think that is the core of th

We need Stardock to hire someone more hated than Jon Shafer to sparkle the flames of distraction. While people flame away, they don't think of "When is next patch?". XD

[quote quoting="post"] How about a date for a date? [/quote]You would date Frogboy for a date for the 1.2 patch? O_o

[quote who="enoeraew37" reply="177" id="2865321"]Well...actually your right consumers arnt entitled to much these days. Stardock, I thought, was working to change that with its gamers bill of rights. Whats the point of having rules of civil behavior if the very sponsor hires a man who's last product was a poster child for violation of said rules. Mr. Shafer might have a very reasonable yarn to tell but he needs stop hiding behind frogboy and come forward to face the music. If Stard

This is not /b/, that's for sure.

[quote who="Lonemessiah" reply="1" id="2865076"]Well, it is a lot easier to throw insults around to faceless people. When these people can reply it makes you think twice about what you say [/quote]Nah, they just send nasty PMs to the devs (not that sending a nasty PM can prevent you from being banned). Not sure if these forums can be considered more "civil" but being more in touch with the devs reduces rumors (they originate when there is an unsatisfied need for information

I'm glad you like them. :) [quote who="Sir_Linque" reply="12" id="2863418"] BTW, about the tag, [eLIB] would be the correct tag for this. [/quote]Thank you. :) [quote who="Victor5" reply="13" id="2863458"]What do you have against rats, Wintersong? I'm replacing both of those rat-stabbing crests with this one: ------> "Can yoo stop stabbin' my fwends, pweeeeeeese?" But seriously, these are very well-made and extremely

Thank you, Heavenfall. Altough I'd never dare to call it flawless (I'm looking at you, number 53! You will be redone!!!) Well, I had to cut some tail to the poor Sea Drake but I think that the "distraction" effect should be over. Now for Polistes' and the next batch of Faction Crests to try to make it more light weighted and "focused".

[quote who="Domicron" reply="96" id="2862825"] That really helps prove your point - oh wait you didn't make any points! [/quote]He actually made as many as you.

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="67" id="2862144"] Are/were you as critical of Brad and SD about Elemental as you are about Jon with Civ5? If not, why? [/quote]Please, don't point at them how silly is that they don't give the same treatment to Frogboy. After all, Elemental release was far far worse, right? Who cares if he can later improve the game? Who cares if he did good things before Elemental's release? Who cares if in later projects he can do better/good things? Did the id

[quote who="cfnz" reply="34" id="2862290"] Quoting ElanaAhova, reply 9 all fanboys!I'll go for this. The other side of the coin is no better though. [/quote]There is no other side. Everybody is a fanboy. Everybody is a troll. Naming depends of point of view. If Hollywood were to exploit the infinite ore of the internet, we could get awesome movies like "Clash of the Fanboys".

Barbie fangirls.

The Sovereign: "So I heard rumours about a quest." Rat: "Yes. My Clan needs help purging our house that has been infested by humans." The Sovereign: "Hmmm Human killing, huh? Shouldn't be difficult." Rat: "Bring me the corpse of one as evidence and we will reward you generously."

Many good RPGs and many good characters. As long as that silly of Sephirot is kept very far away, I'm fine. One of my favourites ever:

[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="9" id="2861692"]IMHO there is never enough of games like Sins for me. I would prefer Ironclad to work on Sins 2, rather than Elemental or how its called. So this game pleases me, hope its going to be on par with Sins/CFW.[/quote]Stardock = Publishers of Sins and Publisher&Developer of Elemental. Ironclad = Developer of Sins.

[quote quoting="post"] Do you guys ever feel guilty about all the people who spent their hard earned money to buy the respective terrible games you helped make and hype? I imagine the guilt isn't quite at the level of war criminals, but it's definitely more than say people who commit petty crimes. Does it keep you up at night? How do you manage it? I imagine you probably lie to yourselves a lot. [/quote]You don't have the guts to do the same to "non internet" stuff. A pit

[quote who="xStarfirex" reply="3" id="2860589"]I dislike your date format month/day/year i will never understand. Patch however I like.[/quote]No no, it really means the first day of june of 2011!!! 2011/01/06 ftw!

Also, Sauron is overated. Go Morgoroth, go!

[quote who="aeligos" reply="18" id="2860859"] I would love to see how the 2k Civ V Forum is reacting to this news......but I am currently under a 10 day ban (ending 8 January) because I was promoting Elemental War of Magic and Stardock Corp. -.-[/quote]That makes sense (banning). If promoting viagra, cell phones and such is not allowed, why should they allow promotion (that not casual mentioning) of a game by another company? Not saying if it's "fair" or not (did

[quote who="rebelito" reply="14" id="2860760"]This is your chance to show us all that you were not behind the worst design decisions for Civ5. [/quote]Lets suppose that he actually is. Of all of them for the sake of the argument. It doesn't really matter now. Not for Civ V as he is not involved anymore, and not for Elemental in the sense that even if he were responsible of the worst decissions for Civ V, that doesn't automatically mean that it will repeat itself in this game.
