You further went on to
take a shot at Alphons (
which is strictly the domain of Mr. RR) also in post #73 here:
[quote]Wow! :chin:
Actually, your reply is rather scary and somewhat enlightening, especially coming from a scenario designer. It tells me that some scenario designers do not understand the impacts of EA on either game design, flow, or victory conditions. It also tells me that these same individuals (with just a cursory glance at scenarios they have never played), readily dismiss other players' (who actually PLAYED and COMPLETED scenarios using EA) comments on the impact of EA to scenarios. Wow! :chin:[/quote]
I'd like to publically take exception to the above "bolded" comment.
RR,
does not take shots at Herr Huib. Especially if "taking shots" means that I make an extraodinary effort to snipe at Huib.
It's true that I think that Herr Huib most times offends me with his arrogant and self aggrandizing posts, which he rains down upon the "unwashed masses".
Herr Huib comes across that he thinks that I and others need to bow at his "greatness" in making scenarios, which I find are mostly either unbalanced and/or not fun to play.
I think that Herr Huib represents viewpoints from "inside the team". Those viewpoints often display that the team believes that they know what is best for the game and any opinion other than that which is "blessed by the game changers" will be dismissed in any form they wish to dump upon us. As an "insider" he posts from a "position of power" that holds others hostage to his words (and deeds within the development process) and really come across as harrassment.
I thought that Herr Huib's response to mWest on the merits of von Niemack's game design was an illustration of all my above comments concerning Herr Huib. To say that Extreme Assault does not effect the scenario is not what I think. I thought mWest made a valid point that was never made invalid.
Does any, "past bad blood", mean that I lay in wait to pounce on Herr Huib's every word?
No. Nor will I not make a comment upon any Herr Huib post if I do not agree with what he is stating. I also post when I agree with him?
I have read the opinions of numerous posters who disagree with what Herr Huib writes, so I am not exclusive in that area?
Others have made the effort to "slam" me for posting a contrary opinion. I try not to let it bother me. I am here for the game. Until the development team makes it a game I can no longer support I will continue to defend the scope and scale of CS and resist the changes that I feel are ruining it.
BTW, I am not slamming Hawk in this post. I used his quote, and comment, to illustrate what I believe is an incorrect view of what I think and how I take action upon it. My only desire is that the game does not get changed to the point where it is not "the game" anymore. After so many years of playing it, that would be the real crime of Extreme Assault?
