I'm not exactly sure what to think of all this, but I do lulz. Look, Majoria is a good community member because I don't think I've ever read anything overly bad. I only ever had an issue with her when she was asking for women to be more attractive(I think, been a while) in some of those old art threads. Coming from a woman, I was surprised! But, carried more weight than coming from a 50yr old dude with hairy bawls. When you then consider Majoria's son is Lord Baldrith, you realize that it is impossible for Majoria to want to drown her children in a bath tub, cos Baldrith is a stand up guy far as I am concerned. Who would want to take that voice away from the world! The only thing I would add here for the award givers, maybe keep it game related If you do then it is a double edged sword, it brings attention to problems we are experiencing with the game and community both! If you get personal, it does tend to reduce your point to some degree.

I was far to emotional on all this. I got a wonderful sun in my live and soon to have one more. Probably a reason i freaked out on something only worth to ignore.
I am cooled down and leave it to everyone itself who the personal attacks are related to react or not. But most will just ignore it i guess and actually leaving this thread open gives everyone a oppurtunity more to judge if he feels like supporting a persons opinion or not based on the way they present them. My opinions included.

When you then consider Majoria's son is Lord Baldrith, ... Must. Resist. The. Urge. Anyway, you're probably right IM, that community tends to piss me off just due to the fact that they're breathing. I have zero respect for Portalarium. I have less than zero for the community that fawns over them. But I'll take the caustic words to a more appropriate place: Reddit. You didn't censor me and that's important. It was nice to see a few SotA community members show their true colors when the All-Seeing Eye of Virtues isn't watching and that alone was enough for me.

OK, another award... Award: The Lakhdar Brahimi Award Recipient: Myrcello Reason: For blindly defending the SotA community without a single iota of skill to convince a single person of their value. I vote him the most likely to cause the death of thousands should he ever become an envoy to any foreign country. Award: The denied Oscar Jury applicant - Hollywood 2016 Recipeint: Grimgryphon
Reason: His dream of becoming a Oscar Jury was denied. Tries to overcome his Frustration spending his time creating useless award categories to provide imaginary oscars we can´t even use as a toilet paper holder.

Trust me I understand the feeling. I myself started with Moderator and Community issues, the fact that Portalarium was in a lot of cases cooperating with less than reputable peoples for official business in a very unsavoury fashion was not pleasing me. Turns out to be as much Portalarium's problem as anyone's, after all they did choose to do business with them and not partake in reasonable debate or feedback on the matter. I get personal at times also and probably cross the line too, we all do it

Welcome back Insanemenbrane!
As for an open and free forum, I'm free to mention Hugo and Gambetta and other free thinking people out of time that IM might know. Envy gamer is free to openly retaliate with ad hominem attack like he has some Ph.D. in medicine, since you can do that Envy, why can't anyone else play the Forensic Psychiatrist with others? Maybe look at yourself for three seconds.
Back on topic.
Award: Grand Master carnival barker.
Recipient: Richard Garriott
Reason: Close to seven million reasons and counting, the funniest thing about this is that it will take over 20 million to create what he's selling and he knows it. When he doesn't deliver, you can rest assure yourself the SotA community will be blamed.

If so, there's a lot of hypocrisy oozing out of that one.

"Oh those terrible, terrible people who pick on our game. They ran us into the ground. It couldn't possibly be our game design or the stand-up community we have supporting us. It's all due to the baddies! They killed our game. We are not responsible." Just wait.

What a pathetic thread. Several banned and obviously mentally ill ex SotA guys, participating in an online bullying and harassment campaign against people they have never met. While there is plenty to dislike about the game and its developers, the game is better off without you worthless, vindictive, bitter, losers. Take a look at yourselves. Lord British didn't make the game you wanted? Go play something else kids, it's your pathetic fault for backing it. You're right about one thing. It is our fault for backing that pile of horseshit. Next time someone asks me to pony up money for a game in development, I'll just point them to the SotA website, right before I punch them in the head. Lol. It's your fault for failing basic reading comprehension. Be a man - own it.

I can comprehend prepositional phrases just fine, and RG is taking advantage of his immunity to the anti trust laws just fine also. The Kickstarter Phrasing of pledge and gift need to go. People are working on that one now...just hide and watch.

Award: The Black Gate Recipient: Myrcello Reason: Myrcello has been one of the only frequent SotA supporters to make multiple posts here without hiding behind another identity, and although many of his posts have been met with fire, I still applaud his efforts to communicate with us (even if little good has come of it so far). More importantly, by telling individuals of their awards, he does them a good service while also opening up the black gate that is SU to them.
Award: Classicist Recipient: EnvyGamingMidian Reason: This award to given to those who use classic Interweb argumentative techniques, not limited to but including calling dissident a child, generalizing, and of course, erecting straw men. Given the heat in the thread, I can't blame him for fighting fire with fire, so instead I will applaud his methods.
Award: Legendary Creator Recipient: Ralph Koster Reason: I just needed an excuse to call him Ralph.

This just in! Award: Where’s my white collarless shirt from Fred Segal. It’s my most capable looking outfit! Recipient: Baron Drocis Fondorlatos Reason: For being a self-absorbed pseudo-intellectual with an over-developed sense of self-importance (I shall get the overuse of hyphens award shortly). This post sealed the deal in terms of getting the award, but it has been a long time coming with him. www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/please-tell-me-these-are-players.25165/Maybe he didn't realize the only reason he made it through without dying is because his client didn't crash. No, of course he didn't. It was skill...all skill.

New award incoming... Award: The "Brain Still Not Catching Up With the Mouth" Award Recipient: Tahru Reason: I don't need to describe it. Just read: "This game has developed so well over time and I have been so impressed with the caliber of the development team. that I am not concerned much about things going sour." www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/still-hanging-and-loving-the-game.34116/I vote him most likely to hand a terrorist a dirty bomb because, well, "he said he was a nice guy."

I actually think it's probably a common feeling. I know I'm this way. It's this feeling of wanting SotA to be great along with intermittent thoughts of "wtf is going on." These are the on the fence folks that can't quite join your jolly gang of haters, but are torn by the decisions made by the dev team and their desire to re-live their brand of Ultima.

You know what, I totally have the save feel. I still WANT sota to be fucking awesome, like maybe we just seeing too much into the creative process. Then I have to focus on the four points that state sota will never be good 1: Wanted 1.5 mil has nearly 7 mil basicly still a basic Unity game and no release date. Continue to find sources of income. 2: Crowdsourcing of resources not embraced 3: The perpetual head in the sand. 4: Development feedback driven by a closed elite circle, poor distrubution of information for the common backer (even though they have 900 fucking bucks from me and I know alot of others put alot into it using fake nostalgia to trick us)

lul @ Myrcello whining like a yuppie faggot.
Majoria should come apologize to all of us, the world is suffering enough and she stoops so low to post a bunch of flower power fruit cake bullshit tormenting the world even more, how dare her.
Some spot on information here, Majoria the delusional wreck, Bubonic the dirty fanboy immigrant doing dirty immigrant things, Firelotus the useless turd that can barely write or use a computer, Chris Spears playing with black decks all day instead of learning to code, Net the one that resorts to exploiting game mechanics and glitches, using them to his advantage to win fights. The one that claims to be a builder but his maze is on the creative side of a donkey taking a shit on a canvas.
Fuck all these people and good thread.

I've said this many times now, Jizzbonic and his ass hat side kick Joviex would sit on irc and hardcore fanboy. They would defend the game at any cost, even if there was a legitimate conversation going on about how people thought things should be different, or whatever. These two would be there all day to chime in and tell you that you are wrong, didn't matter who you were, these two would fanboy you if you said anything that didn't go along with what Port wanted. Now that Joviex is banned, he's pretending to be something he wasn't, typical dirty immigrant fanboy, just like some of the other mad fanboys here. I guess you missed out on all the fun right after kickstarter on irc.

I couldn't ever get on to their IRC through the website much, it is such a fucked tech. They had a limit on my account for a long ass time, it prevented me from making posts within 5 mins of one another. So I could post, and then I had to wait 5 mins to do anything else, send a PM, edit, post again, etc. All operations were under hard core throttling. This also had the effect of preventing me from logging into the Chat via Website. So my IRC history is greatly lacking. But look, people change. Some of you, not even me, may have seen this very early on before me even. It wasn't clear to everyone, fuck it still isn't, and even if it is clear some gave them the benefit of doubt to fix the project. Fail of this magnitude wasn't expected. So when people change we have to accept it and forgive the history. Even if the bunch of flowers that still have their heads up their asses come over here, I'll still talk to them about the game. About what is wrong. We won't fix anything through shutting anyone out. It needs to be discussed, out in the open, for all to see and benefit from. Sure I think Duchess Wyndfart is clearly on drugs, I welcome her to this forum(I dare you Duchess) to try and talk sense into me BRING IT
