I didn't criticise Cobson ffs. He questioned my 6.5 rating and wanted reasons for it. I gave those reasons - brilliant and calm and logical [if I say so, and I do] - and he mistook them for criticism I think.
People need to understand I don't hold people up to my own standard. But for Skatz to have been a success, certain things were required from those who wanted it to be a success. Right now, off the top of my head, those who delivered what I thought was equal to or above my hopes / expectations of them were like:
Mama Luigi
Steerpike
JiveTurkeySuckAFool
JACKDANIELS - maybe
There *might* be others but I *think* that's it.
And from the reaction I've gotten so far privately when I explain to people why I don't consider them having delivered what they should have if THEY [*key point obv] wanted Skatz to succeed...most of it will boil down to people not realising that nothing in this life is handed to you - well, I was quite obv going to hand Skatz to everyone once it was up - but for it to GET up...people needed to do more. There was a huge amount of inaction / non-committal which is fine - but that inaction was action that was detrimental to Skatz in one way or another.
For example: look when I demolish my ex-friend HenryBulldog in his thread where he's comparing me to neverstop The Little Napoleon...um, what would be helpful there is if some more people pointed out quite clearly his position was fucking retarded, that Boreus is completely fucked for any one of 20 reasons, that Skatz was important for any one of 20 reasons, etc.
Not posting on Boreus or other forums when Skatz was launching would also have been kinda helpful.
Look, I was trying to create something for EVERYONE. But too many [90%] wanted the final product but weren't committed enough to really even pull a fraction of their fair share [in some cases, just a tiny share] of the weight. It was all pretty much on me, and VaughnP helped a lot just as it was crashing also I should note...
But yea...w/e....
