Alright, but the fact is that the whole idea is similar to handing out t-shirts (and perhaps other free 'goodies') to people in a convention.
|
...? What can POSSIBLY be bad about winning free games, and not having to expend any money or much effort in doing so, other than the minimal amount of effort that following the league rules takes?

Renegade SDK
14:02 PST | Dario | Print News | Mail News
According to Red Alert: A Path Beyond (and later confirmed by EA's Predator at CnC Den), EA will be releasing a new Renegade SDK. Basically it's a rehash of the tools that came with BfME 2 (something that Saberhawk has already done in July), but officially released by EA.
|
|
I meant what I said - I have no idea what this is, nor am I terribly bothered.
| Comrade wrote on Mon, 11 September 2006 13:17 |
Who's "we"? Simply the community, isn't that rather obvious?
|
You said "we're doing a great job of what EA are supposed to be doing". So answer my question: what have you done?
| Comrade wrote on Mon, 11 September 2006 13:17 |
"...worthless? Any game might grip you the way Renegade has gripped the majority of people on this forum at some point. I guess Renegade is "technically worthless" as well, then?"
I wasn't targetting any game (hell, I didn't even know what they were (specifically) handing out to you, but I assumed it included t-shirts, games, etc.)
|
Free games of the players' choice. Simple as that.
Surprising you saw fit to argue this far without knowing that...
| Comrade wrote on Mon, 11 September 2006 13:17 |
Worthless because other than making a few morons happy and...
|
So anyone who plays this game competitively is a "moron"? Is that what you're saying?
| Comrade wrote on Mon, 11 September 2006 13:17 |
Yes, we all know that online petitions work!

Worked for us on several RECENT occasions, so quit making excuses.

1. Can't be arsed, won't lead to anything.
2. lol
3. I was talking about the community as a whole, and as far as I know, I'm part of the community. I haven't done much that is worth talking about, but I've collaborated.
4. k.
5. If you see it like that, sure.

Running a ladder doesn't do anything to fix a game

I don't claim to be "fixing the game", I said we were continuing to support a game even though it's old and buggy. I'm of the opinion that if people here spent less time bitching at EA and XWIS and more time actually making themselves useful in some way, everyone would be better off.
| DreamWraith wrote on Tue, 12 September 2006 02:13 |
It merely allows EA to NOT perform their job.

..."allows"? We've had this league since... uh, I think summer 2002. I really doubt anyone from Westwood/EA has ever looked at our ladder and thought "AWESOME! We don't have to run a clan ladder now!" The Clanwars.cc Renegade league was set up, in part, because of the fact the old WOL auto ladder had so many things wrong with it.

the problem with the old ladder is what they are getting at - because the oldone didnt work, you got it. this shows laziness on EA's part, cos instead of fixing the ladder, they just handed it over for someone else to deal with.

What has comrade aka aprime1 aka some other retarded name done?
He's made shitty photomanipulations thinking he's clever or something
he's visited these forums for years to spam and write stupid shit but hasn't contributed anything but grief
He's made a bunch of failed websites with fashion-bitch graphics
He's trolled forums and made a general ass of himself, not knowing anything about social interaction, whereas I choose to make an ass of myself because I don't want to be nice here...
for the most part, anyway
I think these forums would be better off without him but it's not my call.. i'm glad he's gzlined permanently from n00bstories IRC so he can't ruin it anymore with his putrescent sack of shit people call a "personality"

hold on... are you saying people do want a clan ladder? I could've sworn nobody other than the clans in the Clanwars.cc league gave a flying fuck about providing clan support to Renegade. It's certainly the impression I've gotten from this forum so far.
| the17doctor wrote on Tue, 12 September 2006 13:58 |

no...
the old one was crap ever since I got the game, and we weren't the official league then...

Who cares, if ours is better than the old auto league? Isn't that a little bit more important than who runs it? You're focusing on all the wrong details here...

what im getting at, is, instead of fixing bugs, they hand things to the community. im not saying this is a problem that the community has control, but ea could have at least fixed all the bugs before they handed it over(bugs i am on about are things like the blue hell glitch and so on)

Yes, all my other nicknames suck.
I rarely criticize my own work.
Stop pretending you know anything about me.
I said it wasn't worth mentioning and the other websites have nothing to do with this, oh, and you forgot to mention the shit heightfield maps, oh, and I was never you moron, I even got in #n00bstories the other day by accident without anybody noticing.

The subject doesn't hold enough importance to me to debate over it, I think it's rather obvious.
Anyway, I just contributed to something and I can't tell you what it is until it's finished. All I can say is that most people will likely enjoy it.

let me put this as plainly as I can.
Clanwars.cc is all about running clan ladders. EA isn't. Hence, we run clan ladders better than EA. They won't mind me saying that. So if they want a clan ladder run, why is it such a bad thing to engage the services of a group who can do it way better than EA could? I simply don't understand what your problem is with this.

Sorry, but so many of you retards who post on these forums simply cannot grasp the truth here.
THERE IS NO OTHER LADDER THAN THE CLANWARS.CC LADDER. I can guarantee that NONE of you could send me a link to a working renegade clanwars ladder OTHER THAN clanwars.cc.
Furthermore, the clanwars.cc ladder is fully functional. Allow me to expand on this. It has:
1. The BEST clans on renegade competing monthly for prizes.
2. Extremely easy to use and self-explanitory interface.
3. Excellent moderators/admins that process requests the day they are issued. Also, they have caught and banned several people for the use of radar hack (undetectable by RG) in clan games.
4. A flawless system of manual reporting that has been working with no problems for several months.
5. No downtime except on extremely rare occasions. I would know this as I visit the site daily.
And I really don't feel the need to type any more.
I don't know whether it's the fact that you're jealous of cw.cc, or if it's just simply ignorance, but for whatever reason, so many unintelligent and thickheaded people on these forums (including even Crimson, it appears) cannot grasp the fact that clanwars.cc is actually a 100% legitimate, working, intact website that serves every decent clan on renegade.
For those of you who are so vehemently opposed to clanwars.cc, I suggest you try it out before you continue to judge it.
