LBPC: The Game

[Weretigr]

I said I was done...

You can never be TOO safe!!

Well... figure of speech...

[Burnvictim42]

They don't need to lock this thread, it needs to get back on topic. Summer school ends thursday, so I should have a lot more free time to help finish this up.

[talbot-trembler]

You weren't insulted by Rock were you!?

Anyway, I'm done

No, I was trying to stick up for the people that were. I had to let it out.

Let's get back on topic...

So... when's it coming out...

[RockSauron]

So... when's it coming out...

Never now. I just quit. Unless someone else wants to try and pick it up after me or something. I know I'm a ****ing piece of ****, and that I can't do anything right as you've made me so keenly aware of. Alright, I admit it, I can't do anything. So, as you all wish, I'm just going to quit trying. K, fine, there. All hat hard work for nothing, although I didn't really do anything, and what I did do was apparently horrible. Whatever. It's all my fault. So this disaster is now done. K? k.

Aww now.. that is a bit extreme. Just be nicer to folks. I think you can see it to the end. Just leave your ego at the door and work it through. I think deep down you really are a nice guy, but need to think about what you type before you type it. Mmmm kay? Good luck!

Yeah, sure, always me.Everyon'es been saying that THEY would be better then me, and that I should be working harder to get this out, and I try to talk to people to do stuff but they're always busy and I have to ****ing talk to you people and you people have to blame it all on me... Well, everyone here thinks that I'm horrible at this no matter what I do, so I just quit. You all would be better then me, after all .

[DarkSeraphim666]

imagine coming in and seeing that as the first post you've read about "LPBC: The Game".

Well... lol.. Yeah I would be better, but I am an adult with many years of Project Management experience under my belt. I think you just bit off too huge of a project, but had to rely on others to do the work for you. I think it is wonderful what you all have accomplished. Burn is coming back soon, possibly we could talk Joey into coming back and helping out as well as Rick and Lady. I bet Gravel would be willing to make props or do a few things as well as some others from the prop team. You've just sorta went a bit overboard when talking to people. ..a line from an old song. "The people you misuse on the way up, you'll meet up on the way back down" ..and they did and kicked the living... well anyway.

Just think of this as a reality check. You're human dude and have quite a bit to learn from life yet. Kindness works wonders. Tell everyone on the team you are sorry and ask how you can help them help you get this done. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance. Here is yours.

[mr Radical 5601•]

I'm all for kindness, but it really seems like Rock was pushed to the edge with all of this...

Rock, don't let all these people get to you. So what if someone "knows" how to build a better level... So what if someone "knows" how to build a better project. What a lot of people seem to be missing is that this is YOUR project. There's no divine law of LBP that mandates that you need to run this in such a way that keeps all 9000+ members of this forum happy.

I see all these people who can't handle how you're responding to them... Big deal if they're sensitive. what do you owe to them? They're either volunteers... in which case they knew what they were getting in to and shouldn't be flaking out, or they aren't attached to the project and just want to make sure everyone sees that they have an opinion. With the way you've been hassled for release dates and criticized for how you're running this, you're being nice compared to how I'd respond to most of them.

it's a tricky situation trying to get a bunch of volunteers to drop an extreme amount of time on something... i know this from experience. I say kick everyone's *** and then take your time.

this is a cool thing that you're doing, and these people who are bit***** and moaning about why they should be treated special and why the project should be finished would drive anyone to be a little harsh. they'll all get to play this super cool thing when it comes out all because this is something YOU wanted to do. If everyone here is going to be able to play something that looks to rival or beat any of the MM release add-on packs free of charge, why does it feel like posters will start throwing around stuff like "you owe us Rock."

Rock, simply put, they can say they could've done it, they can say they could've done better, they can say they could've done it faster, but they can't say they did it..you can

^^This sums it up for me.

@ Rock:
How many level threads have you seen here at LBPC involving massive group projects? Tons. How many of these group projects have gotten anywhere off the ground? Very few. Very few projects ever get off the ground (I've been involved with several that flopped), as it is really tough to get things together. Getting people excited about the project, getting people who are willing to dedicate their own time to help complete it, getting together an overall concept to work with- these are not easy things to do. Sure there have been hiccups on this long and winding road, but honestly thats to be expected. Putting a project like this together has been practically unheard of, if it had gone off without a hitch, it would have been a miracle. You've put a lot of hard work and effort into this as well, sure you might not have created much in LBP, but you've created this project from the ground up. A TON of the behind the scenes work is your doing- you've helped us come up with an original and imaginative story, you've come up with some creative minigame concepts, and you've convinced hundreds of people that playing this game is going to be worth every second. You're always buzzing around create mode, checking that people are working on schedule, and helping out when the odd problem arises. A lot of posts in the LBPCTG forum are of the 'I don't know who can fit here/ I'm trying to figure out a transition" variety, and you respond to most, if not all of them with a suggestion on how to fix the problem, and maybe an alternative or two. Do we always agree with your solution? No. But that's what happens when you get together so many creative minds, and we know you're just trying to make the project as best as it possibly can be. You've worked on this for WELL over a year rock, it would be an awful shame to throw it all away now.

[tomodon246]

erm.... I'm just gonna butt in....

I remember when I saw the trailer for LBPCTG. I was overjoyed. Delighted.
I thought : Wow, LBPC are awesome, I wish there were more forums like them. More forums which make a difference to our community. That's one of the reasons I joined. So I could make a difference, because God knows I can't make a change in the real world.

You guys seem to have lost sight of the true goal.

Not to get this project finished. To make a difference to our community.

You will not give up now.

I won't let you, and neither will the rest of LBPC. Never say die.

That will be all.

Rock, simply put, they can say they could've done it, they can say they could've done better, they can say they could've done it faster, but they can't say they did it..you can

Very good point. I feel bad for putting in my two cents. I've just been concerned at how nasty Rock was at times to folks, but to be honest nobody else would do this huge of a project and I applaud him for that. I thought he was nuts for making it so dang large, but hey.. whatever! I volunteered to help them record the bits for the trailer and to be honest several of the levels are really pretty darn cool. It would be a shame to let it die like this.

So Rock.. please forgive me if I upset you. I was just hoping you could learn how to be nicer to people. I never would want you to quit or give up on this. We all want you to complete it and are more than willing to help you get it back on it's feet.

I think it is quite a tribute to LBPC in what you are doing, but even better if it is for the right reasons. Simply put.. you have come so far dude. Don't give up now. Just don't worry about the small stuff and finish it whenever it gets finished.

Here.. have a peanut.

[RockSauron]

Sure there have been hiccups on this long and winding road,

You just had to throw that in there, didn't you?

Yeah... so, um, I knew full well when I wrote that that I am so weak willed that I couldn't possibly say no that long... So yeah, I know when I say half the things I say that I can't possibly adhere to that.

It's just tough when everyone blames me, no matter what I do... I'm going to hide in my hole now. D:

... yeah. I unno. I've got to go to some college thing now, my parents are making me take that, so, yeah. I have to leave soon, but, uh... /runs

[talbot-trembler]

Forget about it Rock, heh heh... We love you, we really do...

... now put down the whip, good boy...

[jwwphotos]

... now put down the whip, good boy...

That's not really a whip, it's just the way he eats ice cream.

[Jovuto]

To be honest I dont care wheather it comes out before or after little big planet 2!
All I care about is that it will be a blast when it comes out (Which it will)!

[Doopz]

Hey, guys try having a look at some of these before saying Rock isn't doing a good job...

See, Rock is really trying is his absolute hardest to get this out, those are just 3 of the conversations he's had with the team trying to persuade them to work on it.

So, Rock, will you change your mind and continue to do an amazing job with LBPC: TG? Pwetty please? Don't quit.

[flamingemu]

Don't quit.

Rock can't leave, me mades this project and so far it looks awsome and I didn't get a peanut... /runs

[RockSauron]

Guess I didn't make it clear enough in the last post that I'm a weak willed, spineless being and didn't quit

... /cough

Well... yeah. We'll see how it goes from here. Now I better be off, currently in the library at a college where I'm taking some summer class for some reason, and it starts soon, so, uh... /cough

... yeah. I unno what.
