Another lost cause... Why..? Hmmm - long story short:
At the beginning I was like any others - I wanted to help. Because I have good knowledge of UE 1/2/3 (form inside out - include natives...), I made my offer to help in game development, but they didn't want to. Simply because I couldn't give them some proof of my work - I just can't... Probably, after this post you will see some explanation why they reacted like this, but you know, sometimes you must take the risk. Especially when you have nothing to lose - game is dying...

Usually I don't ask twice, but I saw possibility and potential in so much hated by them AA3. I've spend some time reading all related to AA3 posts (not only on this forum) to know what exactly they don't like in this game - it was just a gameplay (mostly game mechanics). After this, I said: modern engine, better 'look', gameplay will be not that hard to rewrite - why not? But... Yet again, they didn't want to. This time I can understand why - time and resource consuming long term project, but when you looking at the bigger picture, it was worth to try.

Next was 'Banning Policy', but (I suppose...) you already know this story. Only this time, I knew the result of voting from the beginning, because I follow this community long before my subscription and (more or less) I know the local ideologies. ... maybe I wanted too - among the others - prove myself something.

Now you have collected some of my ideas, added yours and you trying to change something... Something - I agree with all of your propositions except the payment - which needs to be changed for the good of the entire community. And once again the same reaction... Even my last point '7.'is not acceptable for admins, probably because they can be among the first who will got the warning points.

Conclusion: they don't want to change anything... For them, is OK like it is and there is nothing you can do.

So now, I will be watching from distance how this game/community is dying - another sad story...

NBD.

What if you could change the world by changing your perspective of it?
Would you?

Its in the best for the game, fairness, and the community.

NoBigDeal, I hope you realize that it's not difficult to let someone help, the difficulty comes when you make yourself vulnerable. At the time you came around, we had a lot of problems with hackers and people bypassing the system or abusing it. Letting ourselves be further vulnerable to someone we have never met would not have been a wise decision. I still stand by that. It's nothing personal at all. That's why we asked to see work so we knew you weren't bullshitting or playing for the other team (so to speak).

Since you've been here, you've shown maturity, great ideas and a willingness to contribute. I'm disappointed but at the same time I understand your stance on asking/offering once. If you decide to change your mind, I know that personally, I would be open to it and other admins would agree.

With that said, I won't say it's impossible but it is very highly likely that nobody here would want to 'port' the game to another engine. It may be possible but there's plenty of other implications and the engine AA currently runs on makes a significant portion of the experience of the gameplay.

To be honest, ''Assist'' always were looking for coders, but now I see the problem when they find them, it becomes too late. I mean, in your face there is Nobigdeal who is good with EU engines. Assist could take chance and recruit him, with his chance he would prove himself as assist project goes through.

Amen on this thread.

In hindsight, sure, NoBigDeal looks good now. But what does this teach us? To give the source to anyone that raises their hand? Bit dangerous.

this project would need someone with ideas and innovation on top (game and community-related). at the moment i see stagnation everywhere, which will end the project sooner than later. although there is a lot of pontential in it.

FYI:

New steps are being taken into consideration. Even as we speak, things are going on behind the stage. As I have said before, the Assist is getting a whole overhaul, new maps are being introduced, policies are being tinkered with, debates are taking place as to where we should be headed next, ways of getting the community more involved are being discussed (i.e:. The new assist will include a headline and vote section on Assist itself, something we completely lack of presently. This is sure to boost some activity community-wise). The forum itself got revamped --all is being made to keep things going and kicking but not all is doable overnight like the forum board layout.

A lot of these things simply take time. More than we'd like, most of the time.

I ask only that you accept this. And if you have a new suggestion, do open up a new thread.

We'll hear it. I can promise that much.

I know you from a few cheat forumz. Good that they didnt accept your offer - that would be BLOW to assist project.

Your first post and you already trying to throw slander for someone who you really do not know? Chill out a little kiddo...

First: it's impossible...
Second: you know the proverb 'If you can't defeat your enemy, you have to join him and beat him with his own weapon'?

Now, pull out the conclusions...

BTW: what were you doing on these 'few cheat forumz'?

It's one of the random trolls that likes to come here, talk shit, put people down and generally tell us we're doing a shit job. Same account as the other one and probably has had many accounts before. He's banned now.
