Well, I don't want to see this go down the SGO road, so I'll try this instead.

Vash,

People are not questioning if you have played as much / long as you say you have. The problem is that there are some technical questions that have been brought up, and in general you seem to be avoiding. Most of your post are fairly aggressive. I will try this one more time. I addressed a few concerns at first, and I don't believe they were addressed. With the continueing post more have come up. In general the community is full of people who like to work with people. Perhaps if you discussed some of these plans, instead of vague information, people may be more supportive and helpful.

I am in no way the master of info as Traitor or K3 are, but I would like to think I have a fair grasp of game mechanics.

Perhaps posting more detail in the gameops forum, edit ideas, methods for your ratings, people could give input. When people pointed out flaws, you seemed highly defensive. While I would never play what you describe (and I would guess 99% of the players I know would not), it doesn't mean I would not be happy to offer advice, assistance. Now I will admit I have not been playing TW for 14 years as you have. But in the time I have been, I have studied alot of the mechanics of the game. So I would be happy to offer assistance as I can. If you don't want it, or others help, just say. No thanks, I don't want assistance.

Draconis,

You couldn't have put it more eloquently, I hope Vash reads your post, and sees that we all aren't out to get him or crucify him either, all we all want to do is understand what he is trying to do and maybe offer advice in it, I just wish he wouldn't get so defensive about it all.

I would like to hear what he has and offer my input on it too. But I don't want him to take it the wrong way and chase off what players he might get from being too defensive. I have read all the posts concerning what he proposes and the input (that for some reason he doesn't either want to hear or address) that was provided to him and it all brought up pretty good points and questions. I hope he will calm down long enough to actually think and realize that all are trying to help or understand his ideas.
