Posts from Jebus King version selection on SNGonline

Which version of JK should be on CNGOnline?
Version 2.5 is 95% a copy of my work. Therefore, I should be credited as the author, and there should be at least a link to the original somewhere on the site. This is quite reasonable.
Your work is an implementation based on someone else's template, using 95% of someone else's ideas. You yourself mentioned this, but you are the one making claims and demands...
You were banned after you allowed offensive remarks and insults directed at me in private messages on Twitch. After that, any negotiations are essentially impossible.
Sincerely, Ilya “profiler” Anishchenko
Actually, it was after communicating with you that I started thinking about leaving the project. To be frank, I don't like the way you express your thoughts. "In a very polite and respectful manner" – this is definitely debatable.
Specifically in private messages, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I was banned BEFORE that. I remember it perfectly well. I understand that your memory only works in favor of your own arguments. I was banned because you have something to hide; you distort facts to fit your narrative.
On behalf of the studio, you were asked to stop endlessly modifying the template, name it Jebus King, and include your authorship in the description.
That's not for you to decide. The template belongs to me and the players. I mean those who actually enjoy playing with it, not just because they are paid by MCS Studio. Plus, I'm already done with experimental versions; the main focus now is on a single version for the lobby, based on player feedback.
No one asked you to promote my template. No one sold it to you. No contracts were concluded. The JK brand is just some wild fantasy. I agreed to use the name to support the tournament (and it sounded better), and I still have a reference to MCS Studio in the description. As soon as you remove my template from your website, I will immediately change the name.
I considered collaboration proposals and suggested finding a compromise that would satisfy both parties.
You didn't agree to this because Freeman wants to do everything his way, period. Without considering what the players want, without considering the new generation of players who don't care about such restrictive magic systems as in 2.5.
For me, the players come first, which is why I couldn't agree to your terms. My goal is to create a template that will serve as both a good introduction to Heroes multiplayer and an alternative to the mirror map. I honestly don't understand what MCS Studio's goals are.
In any order.
P.S.: But if we talk about the substance, I'm sick of the template (this is regarding the work you've done). Neither this nor that, neither fish nor fowl, chewing gum from the Heroes series.
I'm playing purely out of respect for Freeman, and it seems like the latest version is more or less decent. But it's not for me to judge, this is just an outside perspective.
And here's about this:
Your work is implementing it based on someone else's template, 95% of which consists of other people's ideas. You yourself mentioned this, but you're the only one making claims and demands...
As I said, you're the only one who can claim co-authorship of the template, so tell us about your contribution in detail. Show logs from our chat, look at what was in the early versions for comparison, etc.
Naturally, no one will bother with this, trying to figure out who came up with what. I implemented it, I collected feedback from players, and that's it. If you can do better, go ahead.
And for now, template creation is generally a thankless and time-consuming task (especially templates like JK, which are packed with all sorts of changes). And no one wants to do it. It's thankless because, firstly, the chances that anyone will even try to play a new template are very small. JK is a phenomenon in this regard; without Freeman, who fell in love with this template, no one would know about it now. I have no problem admitting this; I try to be friends with facts and reality. But this doesn't give him the right to dictate his terms and disregard the opinions of other people.*

And to get to the point, I'm sick of the template (this is in response to the work you've done). It's neither one thing nor the other, neither fish nor fowl, just chewing gum from Heroes.
I'm only playing out of respect for Freeman, and it seems like the latest version is more or less decent.
So, the latest version was made according to your dictates, Stinger. You could say Stinger King is the one who shaped it.
See, even poor Stinger is disgusted by JK. Why listen to the feedback of a person who initially doesn't like the idea of the template? What's the point of adapting something for players who don't want to play it? There are already excellent templates for them: JC, 6lm10a, G+U, Clash, etc.
You're so out of touch that I don't even feel like arguing.
I'm sick of the constant changes.
There are so many versions of this mess that it's hard to keep track, and it seems like that's what sparked your internal conflict.
But just so you know, I haven't made a single suggestion (except maybe wishing they'd add a utopia).
As far as I know, Hell and Gom are the main creators. I was happy with the first version.
P.S.: Stinger Tzar, remember that.
P.S.S.: And what's with this habit of making baseless accusations? I've read similar things from you in this thread several times... It seems like you're the rat who got the Studio banned for a while, right? And it happened right after your disagreements, literally the next day.
You reported something, and voilà? Go ahead, argue.
HAHAHAHAHAHA

Mostly, Hell and Gom are the creators, as far as I know.
Jokes don't translate very well over the internet, what can you do.
Hell and Gom are the ones I asked for their opinion about tweaking the versions. That doesn't make them creators; Hell and I simply had similar opinions about the development of the template from the beginning. That's the whole story.
Recently, he was talking about how to reduce the number of obstacles on the road; I made a test version, and it actually works. The number of obstacles has decreased significantly.
P.S.S.: And what is this habit of making baseless accusations? I've read similar things from you in this thread several times... It seems you're the rat who caused the Studio to be temporarily banned, right? Especially right after your disagreements, literally the next day.
You reported them, and voilà? Go ahead, deny it.
Here we go. What accusations did you see?
I have nothing to do with the studio ban. I didn't even think about reporting them. I watch their streams, even though I'm banned. I have nothing to hide.
I was offered to remove the magic and wisdom boxes. Would that be better?
Jebus Cross is a completely different template; the only thing Cross and King have in common is the number of zones and their arrangement.
The template belongs to me and the players.
No one asked you to promote my template.
P.S. I think that if you're doing something like template creation, it should be seen as a hobby, not a job. If it brings in income, that's great, but after that, you shouldn't start treating it like a job and demanding something.
“How to properly break up with a business partner.”
When I was helping with the template, I wasn't thinking about authorship or anything like that. I just wanted to genuinely improve the template and contribute something to enhance the game. I understand that you put a lot of effort into the result, but it feels like the whole situation is due to resentment and a quarrel, and it's not worth it, in my opinion. The template doesn't belong to anyone, and anyone can use it. Everyone has the opportunity to play the version they like. And if a specific version is required for a tournament, then that's how it should be.

For the next Synergy, I'll make Jebus Synergy ;)
I'm following the Synergy trend; I'll create a Jebus Synergy.
They should have made a balanced Jebus for size L, by the way. That would be interesting, new, fresh, and spectacular.
