: Yikes, the gloves come off!
: Let's be clear - this is a place that welcomes all Marathon fans and that any
: contribution at all is welcome - provided the poster doesn't become a
: pest. SSO has initiated some truly worthwhile threads, including the one
: that lead Yos to write his now legendary Story Forum fan fiction piece.
: Simply being a fan is worthwhile - you don't have to be the designer of a
: great scenario or the one doing most of the open source work for AO.
: Now, as a fan there is still lot you can do to contribute. I'm not a scenario
: writer myself - I'm just a rabbid fan. What have I done - well if it's not
: already obvious, I'm one of the most fequent posters here with over 1k
: posts to the forum, making me the 4th most frequent poster of all time
: last time I checked. I would like to think that my comments have generally
: been constructive. I also put up an extensive Marathon Rubicon fan site,
: based on the volunteers series for that scenario, which I led. There is a
: lot you can contribute, SSO, and your presense here is worthwhile, but you
: can do more if you put your mind to it.
I would help if I could just get my hands on Forge somehow. You guys may standing there all beady-eyed saying, "I know! Let's go to the market! That way ol' SSO can buy the trilogy with forge and anvil and rock us on wid some MAPS! HOO HOO! Let's go to the fucking market! Yippee!" Ugh. You people don't know how hard it is. I can't get it at the bargain bins, it's hard to get as it is, I'm broke on money right now and my parents don't want me to buy the trilogy right now along with forge. I'm sorry, pal. I hope to somehow manage to contribute more. I think map making will become my hobby. Already I'm constructing maps for Wolfenstein.
: Oh, and I strongly suggest you refrain from challenging anyone personally -
: you have only been here a short while and have no idea who some of the
: regular posters are or what they have done. Also, try not to take anyone's
: comments personally - that only leads to a flame war and they are usually
: meant in tongue and cheek. And to everyone else, let's refrain from
: getting personal.
I have not been here THAT shortly. I've been here for at least 3 months. I know some posters pretty well.
