This seemed like a pretty good time to share my personal history with Reborn. So this was a few months ago, like late February or so. AoD proposed that Renegade: A New Hope join Reborn at Deezire. I turned him down. But I have always been a big Tiberium Sun fan, so I offered my own talent, as well as that of a few of my staff mappers, such as Blazea58, DesolatorDan, and Icedog90, to make maps for his mod when we had the time. I showed him a few of our maps, which are pretty high quality, but not perfect or famous or anything. Out of the blue he asked me how I thought our maps compared to those of Aircraftkiller. I responded that ours were definitely worse, but that working together we could still put out a pretty good product. He expressed his opinion to me that Aircraftkiller's maps are terrible, and that if we considered our maps inferior to his, we had no business working for Reborn. Naturally I was pretty upset, because not only does everyone pretty much agree that ACK makes the best maps around, but also because, in comparison to Reborn's beta release maps, anything would seem nice. I said that I thought he was in no position to turn down mapping talent, given the terrible quality of his current maps. However, he was steadfast in his belief that our maps must be awful if we considered them worse than ACK's, and then he blocked me (AIM).

So in summary, I offered to give AoD something that Reborn needs desperately: quality maps, and he turned us down really because of my respect for ACK. Furthermore, I wasn't incredibly disatisfied with Reborn's first release, other than the sub-par texturing, nonexistant balancing, bad maps, and other various problems. Overall I was really excited to see a potentially successful Tiberium Sun mod for Renegade. But now Reborn seems like they're drifting - every new model they display is less and less like Tiberium Sun.

I find it hard to have much hope for a mod that has demonstrated almost surrealisticly massive deviation from their theme (TS), and refuses to adopt new leadership to replace the obviously inadept current leaders.
