Markus didn't post the other list that you are quoting until he released the fix the next morning.

Sorry, you are not allowed to go back and change the past. This isn't 1984, as much as it feels like it at the moment.

Christ sake, it's fixed... Quit bitching already

You most certainly DID leap to conclusions because you took those posts and ASSUMED that the "hidden ratings" were going to be the END of historical simming and were all set to walk away from the game as a result.

Aside from threat being ridiculously overdramatic, your ASSUMPTION of the allegedly dire effects of these "hidden ratings" was WRONG.

To quote myself for a good summary of the situation:

You can deny it all you like but the fact remains you pulled quite the drama queen act based on NO FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE and threatening, in the ever-so-famous schoolyard manner, of taking your ball and going home.

If you're going to blast the game, get your facts straight first and base your judgements on FIRSTHAND knowledge and not runaway assumptions and wild guesses.

Yes we gathered that by the many other times that you've posted this. After a while it has the effect of being passed over by the audience that you're trying to convey the message too.

May they would, and maybe they wouldn't. There's only one person that knows that for sure.

You are wrong, and you are making it worse with your attitude and insults.

Read the quotes above. *Markus* - that's right, Markus - verified to Nutlaw that the following were now hidden ratings: "team loyalty, desire for winning team, consistency, popularity, injury rating, and the like."

Now explain to me how consistency and injury ratings don't effect historical simming.

You can't. BECAUSE THEY DO. And Markus - yes, Markus - posted THAT THEY WERE NOW HIDDEN RATINGS.

Those are the facts. If you are being honest you cannot dispute them.

Yep, it's become my official slogan and I'd say about 90% of the time I use it, a lock occurs.

Yuck, what a way to waste my 3000th post.

Malleus Dei · 05-25-2006, 11:39 PM

Oh, and the source of my firsthand data about the ratings was Markus Heinsohn. It doesn't get any more authoritative than that, does it?

IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF... SERIOUSLY DROP IT.
the drama queen bs is old already

Malleus Dei · 05-25-2006, 11:40 PM

And, FYI, if the hidden ratings had been left hidden I was moving to Puresim.

You think I was kidding? I wasn't.

Hate to break it to you, but those aren't insults.

Insults would be well....go read a typical locked OT thread.

RBLwebguy · 05-25-2006, 11:41 PM

Ok, lets end it here. We know the story and the ratings are visable. The end.

Ozzie, what's bothering me now is the false accusations and outright false statements. History is being rewritten - well, at least they are trying to rewrite it.

meh gotta happen sometime.

Anyone also notice that the discussion style is mirroring OT threads as well?

"I think this"
"Your wrong because I said this and this"
"No your wrong"
"No you!"
"You!"
"You poopyhead!"
"You ya ****!"

and so on, and so on.

I swear new customers must come here, have a look at these boards and think that OOTP if you paly it enough, makes you mentally unbalanced.

If that's the case, then I hope Markus goes back to making them hidden. whatever gets rid of you and your drama queen bs is well worth it in my book

Fine. I have posted the truth, and posted the quotes to back it up, and you have to know by now that it is the truth. I did the right thing. I'd do it again.

If everyone else will end this here, then I will too.

Right.

well to be blunt, last night you were. I mean if anyone else had pulled that you would have nailed them, and rightfully so.

It happens, everyone has their moments. Whether we learn from them is up to us.

RBLwebguy · 05-25-2006, 11:50 PM

OK, truce

Goodnight all!

About four versions ago, Markus suddenly decided to remove all printing capability from the game. I said the same thing I did over the hidden ratings: if this stays the way it is now, I'm gone. Printing stayed in. Not because I was important, but because my ringing of the alarm bell loudly led to a review of the situation that resulted in the realization that printing was a valuable thing to have in the game.

Pretty much the same thing happened with the hidden ratings. It's a crappy job ringing the alarm bell sometimes, but somebody has to do it.
