Haha. Auch. At least I wouldn't be stripped naked, mangled and the rest of all that. I'll check out Universal Combat as soon as I can. It sounds interesting, and seeing like-minded people are clearly enjoying it I can't really go wrong, can I now?

Looks clean indeed - I've been browsing around and indeed, there's a lot of sci-fi/space related stuff. It so happens I really like the treatment for trolls around here. I should probably propose similar treatment to trolls on the other forums I frequent. Of course, a bad day would be a good excuse, although I heard there was an additional e-mail conversation between the admin at Starwraith 3D Games and cutterjohn in which he is said to be extremely hostile and offensive. However, that's probably stuff for the guys back at Starwraith instead of you guys here. I guess the admins over at Starwraith 3D Games like having a clean forum just as much as you do, and thus archived the message in the inaccessible area of the forum for eventual future reference. I also guess that if he doesn't give any problems here - there's no problem here . I just thought his portrayal of a community so similar to this one and a hardworking developer like yourself was extremely unfair. Wow, I just ended up talking to Derek Smart. That's a pretty unexpected development, lol. I must admit I've always looked up at indie developers and their creations and you're probably one of the better known developers around. I think I'll be checking your games, I'm pretty impressed by what I see around here.

That would be quite simple, it's so special someone gets banned over there that I wanted to know whether or not he had been involved in other cases of trolling or similar misbehaviour. Probably in my nature, which is quite a curious one. I just punched in "cutterjohn", "battlecruiser", "3000AD", "evochron" and through a page in which cutterjohn (surprisingly) seemed quite positive about the Starwraith Games and relatively negative about the Battlecruiser series (something about 'Derek getting greedy', some Wikipedia taught me that Derek creates these games) - I found this site. I read the story and felt this was so unfair towards an indie programmer and his community that I just had to post something. I'm glad that you, as 'Supreme Cmdr' (admin?), seem to agree that lying to damage ones reputation is a bad thing, though .

Hello Cutterjohn, I think we've met before. Let me first tell to those that mind that I am indeed a regular from the Starwraith 3D Forums, although I am in no way affliated with the games. Now, I can take a lot, but I really hate dishonesty. When I saw this, I felt it was right to reply here. Please, this is not an advertisement, this is just the other side of the story for those that do mind. I will also refrain from talking about the game itself. If you're going to complain about things, I think you should be truthful and honest. First of all, I already explained Evochron Renegades will not run on your standard EEE-PC or Acer Aspire One. It will require a more powerful DirectX enabled netbook, which usually cost upwards of $700. The community over at Starwraith 3D Games is extremely acceptive and supporting to anyone and is known to be so, but you didn't make 'vague comments', if you're really fair. To be exact, you called the game 'woefully inadequate' and implied it be inferior to both X/BC games. This is your opinion, and we accept that, but the way you repeatedly posted your opinion not only implied that the Evochron Renegades game is a subpar game only usable on netbooks, but also that we were insane for being there while we do have more powerful computers. Now, at Starwraith 3D Games the community really doesn't mind what game you prefer most. They do mind trollers and we do mind insulting people. They also mind people registering just to 'stir up trouble', as you seemed to admit later in the (now archived to avoid future trouble) thread. You requested your access to the forum to be removed, making you a pretty unique case, especially seeing the administrator there has barely banned any people there for years now. You're probably the only of the few who feels 'there's something up with the guys there', and that should say more about you than about us, doesn't it? You'll find that if you'd have behaved nicely, we wouldn't mind whether you like BC3000, seeing you're an admitted Battlecruiser-fan. In any case, to each his own preferences. All I was wanting to say is that cutterjohn was indeed 'jumped upon as in the darkest night', for trolling, insulting, using foul language and general misbehaviour.
