Volourn

How do you know it's good? Have you played it?

"Lundqvist is a top goalie, but he's not doing anything other goalies haven't done before." Neither is what they did. Then again, a rookie goalie having 30 wins, being in the top 5 for both GAA/S%, stealing the starting goalie position from a veteran, and helping your team return to the payoffs after missing 7 seasons in a row (with lots of help from Jagr hehe) isn't something that's common either. Bottom line is Lundqvist got robbed because goalies are almost always treated like 2nd class citizens to skaters which is lame consideirng how important goalies are to a team's success. "it's not fair to knock an individual just because the rest of his team sucks." Yes, it is when that player is getting all the ice team.

He's mine too.. even when he disagrees with me. He's always been cool. :cool:

"Playoffs are just a part of the entire season." No. They're seperate. Why do you think there's a seperate MVP for both? Why aren't play off points counted in the scoring race? Why are first and second team awards awarded for each seperated? Why are stats for eahc kept seperately. Sorry, you lose. The regualr season is for regular season awards. The play offs are for play off awards. Game over, and case closed.

Nah, it would be a waste. JE is a 1 year old game. It'll be 2 years (at the earliest) if released on PC... It's time to move on.

"but Gromnir is nowhere near as random as is vol." That's weird. The most oft complaint I hear is that I never change,a nd I'm too repeteive... yet, you (and a few others) claim I'm 'too random'. Weird... And, oh btw, FIGHT THE MAN'S POWER! He's held ya down too long.

Since this rumour seems to ahve been a bust, it should be pointed out that BIO has promised a 'surprise' at E3.. The oppular thought was the announcemnt of their yet undiscloed x-box 360 game which would likely be JE2... but, it would be a dissapointment (at least to me) if it ended up just being JE for PC.... *shrugs*

WOW! From me whining about what looks to be an actual good turn base D&D game being on a silly handheld to.... to... THIS?!?: "Are there any graphic-based interfaces for this compiler? Sure it's fast and relient, but doing everything from the command prompt is messy. And P.S., Java rules at application programming (C# is quite good aswell), C/C++ is very good for for A.I. and API though" 'Nough said. "

"I've reported you numerous times, Volourn. " For some reason, this isn't surprising. :D TRhen again, when I was in my 'reporting trolls' phase, I believe I reported you for some of your not so nice posts too. So, it equals out.

Yet, NWN characters had b00bies and was rated teen.. even with Aribeth's "jiggly* ****...Yet, it was untouched... Go figure..

Meh. I disagree. Just because people knows us simply because we post a lot doesn't make us any more important than all the other posters. "After all, I never had more requests for official warnings and moderated status than I did for you!" Oh really? Name some names. I need to go get some revenge. Anyways, thanks for ignoring them. I have one official warning, and let's keep it that way. "

Hmm.. I'm a fool. LOL He snuck in there somehow for the Vezina... Kinda ruins my theory. CONSPIRACY!!! LOL I don't think Broduer was a top 3 goalie... Well.. it still stands that if play-offs counted, Lundqvist surley wouldn't be a top 3 goalie..

"I'm probably as much of an Obsidian fanboy as any person on this board, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to ask tough questions." of course, when the question has been answered it should be let go... Mr. Sawyer has answered it. As the Lead Designer of NWN2, I think we should take his answer as Obsidian's stance on the issue. Espicially, since the interviews/reviews have wild accuracy dealing with the time (20, 30, and 40 hours have all been quoted in the last week) and other stuff (only 16 players allowed in MP which is false and has already been squashed as false at the NWN2 baords). "Gromnir is as much of the landscape on these boards as Hades or Vol." We're just random posters who post a lot. None of us are important.

"The Post-season isn't supposed to be taken into account, so I'm not sure what you are trying to prove." Um.. Did you miss the whole debate earlier in this thread (or the other NHL thread). There was a whole disucssion of whether or not the post season mattered in the awards ceremony (other than the ConnSmythe obvious). I stated that only the regualr season counted. Others stated that they take into account the play-offs. And, others stated that the first round would matter. Obviously, I was proven right here. Factually. The awards are based on Regular season performance (barring Conn Smythe). Period.

Please. Ovechkin and Crosby were sooo good their teams were amongst the worst in the entire league, and in Crosby's case his team was supposedly 'stacked'. And, Calgary was gonna do good no matter what this year. Bottom line is a rookie is one of the top 3 goalies; he shou;d be automatically one of the top 3 rookies... unless of course goalies this year all had GAA of 5.oo, and S% of .750... which they din't so it's moot. Espicially, since their high point totals ( fot the forwrads) are artififically higher due to rule chnages to make scoring easily making it harder for a goalie.. espically a cookie goalie.. to do good... This is an asanine way to do things... Anyways, this list should prove that post season isn't taken into account for regular season awards. If it was, Brodeur would be in, and Lundqvist would be out. And, 2 of the moronic rookies wouldn't even be nominated since they suck so bad they couldn't even make the play offs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Replay time should count when talking about 'value for money base don time played'.

More proof that the NHl is just plain old fashion stupid. I find it hard to believe that one cna be cosnidered one of the top 3 goalies in the NHl this year; but not be one of the top 3 rookies. It's absolutely ludicrous!

"Because there are that many awesome rookies this year?" But, not goalies? Right...

"Regardless, we've already had our official answer here. The lead designer has already said it's too early to properly assess the length at this point." Bingo. You win. " Eldar & Grom: That's all good except in this case, you got an answer. Mr. Sawyer gave you an answer. Why don't you just accept it? That's what the problem is currently.

"and yet you is telling Gromnir and eldar and others that we should just accept silence as our answer." Because. You have asked your question. Numerous times. Mr. Sawyer gave you what his thoughts on his issue. Mr. U hasn't even taken the time to reply , and as you said , it would likely take a few minutes for him to do so, yet he hasn't. That should tell you soemthing. He obviously doesn't see this as an important issue. When I complained about various issues, I didn't spam multiple thread pver and over, or start talking about how 'they owe me' 'cause they don't or sent emails to the moon.. We haven't bought NWN2 yet so we're owed nothing. You are making this a 'federal case', and it simply isn't.

"Asking questions millions of times has an effect." Oh. No doubt. Harrassment charges, bannings, and all sorts of things could happen. You might possibly even get an answer. "Do you really think that these message boards don't have any impact?" Not as much as many seem to think. It has an impact; but I doubt it's their number one thing they use to determine what their game(s) need. "Maybe 'Mr.U' just forgot his password and can't sign in to reply... When was the last anyone saw him here anyway? Over a year?" Ha.

"one thing that guts under our skin is when folks simply accept what they has been told or what they has been given." Yeah, because that describes me to a tee. You know, someone, who just accepts what they're told, shuts up, and never says anything to devs. Uhuh. LOL :D

"However, Vol's nuts with this "he doesn't owe us anything! WE SHOULD NOT EVEN DARE TO ASK QUESTIONS!" Who says I said that? I shoould shoot that guy. I ask questions ALL THE TIME. But, it shouldn't need to be asked 1 billion times. Mr. U hasn't bothered to reply.. that should send a message clearly that he doens't plan to anytime soon. Heck, Mr. Sawyer, who still posts here, has alreayd given an answer... yet, the question still gets spammed... Get the message. I guess, hwoever, to you guys it would be okay for me to keep bugging Mr. Sawyer about my pet issues even though he's either a) alreayd answered them or b) has shown no interest in doing. If Mr. U wants to give you answers he will. Asking questions over, and over can go from being an intelligent potential consumer to harassing. I guess I cna start 20 threads asking why Obsidian has decided to make familiars into pocket protectors.... I mean, as a customer, it's my 'right', right? R00fles! :D

http://www.nhl.com/news/2006/05/271296.html How in bejeebers does someone get nominated Goalie of the Year (Vezina) and NOT Rookie of the Year (Calder)? Is the NHL on crack or what?

"they aren't just lying down either." Yes, they are.
