Max, why don't you clearly state your position? For example, I understand what Vic wants to achieve, what Baratorch or Ivor are doing. But what you are doing is completely unclear. If you are on the side of the VT players, then you should be grateful to Vic for developing VT; if you are on the side of the SoD players, then you should be grateful for having such a strong competitor in him. If this is just an outpouring of emotions (and it looks like it), then it's time to stop, otherwise you will only annoy people with your hysterics.

All these statements about taking a step back and so on are pure nonsense. Explain specifically what your goal is, what have you done yourself to develop the game? Because at the moment, your position seems like a manifesto of extreme noobism. A player who has not only never won against top players but hasn't even competed with them, and probably hasn't even played with simply strong players. And all this without any constructive input.

Please read this topic carefully /topic/7778/

First, we need to decide on merging SoD and VT. I am sure that most people are ready for it. We need to discuss all aspects down to the smallest detail; experienced players are needed here, and analyze everything taking into account the development of the game among the masses. It's not simple. In most cases, it will not be possible to say "this needs to be done" or "this doesn't need to be done." Moreover, a lot of arguments are necessary; the opinion of a strong player alone is not enough without it, and without refuting all other arguments as invalid.

There is an initial idea there. Each individual point requires its own approach. His achievements are the result of uniting a certain group of people for the common good. Specifically, what can I do? Organization, attracting sponsors through creative proposals (it also depends on luck, but still). There are some connections in the media; perhaps I can create a server-keeper for saves. I lack knowledge, but I don't have programming skills and English language skills (huge drawbacks), and I rely on help with this, but since I will definitely stay here for a long time, I will certainly improve my knowledge in this area over the next two years.

First, we need to create a team, and if someone sees themselves as helpful in something, then such a person is needed. There is no need to talk about the inconsistency of one thing or another; you need to move forward or not get involved in this business, i.e., be an observer.

My primary goal (which I am currently striving for) is to find people who, even at a subconscious level, support the development of the game, specifically SoD. It is the engine and foundation, as well as the brand of the world hero community. We need to create a like-minded, systematic, organized structure for work. This is not easy, but if one, another, fifth person joins, it becomes easier. In principle, I reject opponents as members of the team because they interfere, but as rivals, they are necessary, and that's good.

Since I am a new and unproven person (there is no idea about me as a player, I have not proven myself), this is a significant obstacle. Well, nothing can be done about it; we will break through boldly. The more difficult the start, the sweeter the finish.

And there is the forum, and there is conversation on ICQ, which is much more constructive.
And most importantly, Vic, for example, builds his dialogue with me based on pointing out shortcomings, practically without highlighting the advantages, which do exist and many people see them.

Now I will say that my personal proposals will definitely be made later, not now. I am trying to do something not for myself, but for everyone, and no matter how loud my posts sound, they are ideologically correctly formulated, in my opinion.

The huge difficulty lies in the fact that, as in your post, everyone says "you do it - then talk," but I think differently: we will do it, and then there will be nothing to talk about because everything has been agreed upon in advance. You cannot start working without fundamental rules and agreements. The more things are agreed upon, the better it will be done.
