What's with the stupid ass kissing threads ...

Yeah, I agree - I dont like ass kissing either, which is why I chose prince randian and johnny eck for my dream team. Guys with no asses rule!

[ManicMatt]

I was looking on the internet earlier today to look at the stories of these two men. Fascinating stuff. One question was left unanswered. How did Mr Eck go toilet? I doubt they had colostimi (spelling error) bags back then.

The people I'd ideally work with on a game here, won't be mentioned, as they know who they are.

[Nikolas]

Helm is half right.

I don't see this thread as bad per se. Maybe calcver did not know about the sphynx project or the other tries that have been made.

All I see behind his post is the ambition to do something really really good. It is not that bad.

Now naming some people could be good or bad, depending on how one takes it. I took it the good way, Helm took it the bad way. Simple stuff really...

Everybody can make graphics, not everyone can make kick ass graphics though. Am I wrong here?

Either way this is a very dagnerous thread.

[SinSin]

I agree it is dangerous people who dont get mentioned may feel as though they don't have any recognition
Game making is not a popularity contest

Helm maybe half right but he did'nt need to bring up the smacktart comment
That discussion was locked for a number of reasons

One question was left unanswered. How did Mr Eck go toilet?

I think that particular question was left unanswered by history for a number of very good reasons.Ã, 

Sorry if I'm taking this thread a bit off the topic, I'm just not sure it isn't the best way for it to go. It's posing a difficult question, sure, but history will tell what was the AGS dream team.

Helm, I'll take anything you have to throw at me, even a punch to the face, but I feel compelled to defend myself. Indeed I haven't played any of your games, because a) "fatman doesn't wanna run..." and b) the last thing I need is another gorrilaz game. But you made a comic, for a comercial product, that must say something about you (in a good way) and you aren't exactly some little shit that just came in here. So sorry for having blind faith in you. I'm changing my artists: Yahtzee and Grundislav. Why do I choose them? Cause Yahtzee's character art and Grundislav's BJ backgrounds make one really interesting combination.

And I don't understand why people are angry about this thread. It's quite harmless. It's just people discussion something. It's like one of those "What's your favorite food?" questions. Some people prefer just fries, and somee people prefer full course dinners. I'm also pretty sure that this thread was not intended as an ass-kissing thread, nor all the posts were written with the thought of rubbing up to people so they'll like you.

PS: Gilbot.

Personally, I don't think that anyone mentioning who they would like to work with is ass kissing as much as just wishful thinking.  Frankly, I'm rather flattered so many people think my art is decent enough to want to work with me, since I've never had a high opinion of what I do.  I get the sense that in this particular area Helm and I are much alike, and I think a healthy dollop of modesty about what you do is a very, very good thing.  The point where we differ is that I don't see anything wrong in stating who you'd like to work with, but then I take such things as compliments!

PS: Gilbot.

?

Don't know what you're implying, but if you're about people angry with the thread then it's certainly not me (unless you can't handle irony ).

[Vince Twelve]

Wait, I actually understood him there:

* Gilbot V7000a kills whoever has his/her name mentioned in this thread.

I too thought this thread was a load of rubbish until someone included me on their list.

I guess it is a dangerous thread, that's why I said mods could kill it at the beginning. I was just saying how much of a beautiful game can be made here (hypothetically) since if you put some guys here together one of the best most awesome games could be made that would rival CMI, Vampyre story etc. The AGS people has that ability, it would be very interesting to see a team forming from right here in AGS (where all of the people has so much experience and they don't start out commercial) and make a kick-ass commercial game. It shouldn't be hard if someone like grundislav or Dave Gilbert takes the lead as manager/overseer and make sure it completes. It's not a collab like the failed one since this would be a team working towards a commercial game just like any other pro team out there . but it's all hypothetical. (in their free time of course)

I don't think people should feel bad for not mentioned, naturally one would want a bill tiller in your team, it's only natural, that doesn't mean the other people aren't good, you just like his style more. Haha, sorry if I offended some or made some feel left out, you are all special 

[SSH]

The trouble with volunteer versus real commerical teams is that YOU CANNOT FORCE PEOPLE TO WORK. And many of our great talents in all the areas mentioned are lazy. So some upfront cash would probably be required to motivate people...

Wanting to work with someone is wishful thinking. Telling the public that you want to work with these people is ass kissing.

Also...

I strongly disagree. These people have very different styles and I don't think they would match.

...ok, that was a bit off-topic.
