Slowtrain Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Oh. Good luck then. Thank you. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Gorth Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 So, have you killed Deidranna yet? I started a new game. SO no. Not yet. :/ What happened? The Drassen Counter attack? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

No. tbch, there really wasn't all the participation that I had hoped for in the thread. Doing an LP thread is a lot of work and at least some of it is for the interest and amusement of fellow posters, so I just kinda stopped taking screenies and then eventually got an itch to start a new game. If people are interested I can post screenies and talk about the current game as I go along, but I'm not going to go for the audience participation thing I was hoping for originally.

Hurlshort Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hmm, I don't know much about Let's Play threads, but I think it needs to be more structured. Like you present us with two or three options, we vote, and then you move forward. But it does take a long time to move forward, particularly in a game as complex as JA2.

I tried waiting for people to give me orders on where to go, but there wasn't as much of that as I hoped and i eventually just went off on my own. Then I felt tthat that kind of lost the point of the thread in the first place, and so I might as well start a new game and do what I wanted from the start. Does that make sense? I tend not to be very good at explaining things. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

Gorth Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I've never seen a "lets play" thread before, so wasn't quite sure what to expect or do I did download and install the latest 1.13 mod though to try it out, so something did come out of it “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Slowtrain Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 You guys should post screenies from your games. Especially if something terrible happens that we can all laugh at. We can turn it from an LP thread to a thread of general Jag 2 awesomness. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.
