This thread proves how F'ed up P1999 has become. Both game wise and forum wise.
You just have to approach p1999 anthropologically. If you can keep your scientific objectivity then trolls become fascinating expressions of the human condition.

How Sirken can remain calm with some people regarding the number of hours he invests helping them and the way they behave with the staff is a mystery to me.

Either way I've heard that the pathing codes for velious were lost on Alovia's test server this summer...

If this is true, damn, that's really fucking unfortunate [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you think that's how it is then you are a fool. At some level no matter how small it is taking away from velious.
If you think it is any other way, you're nuts.

But then what are you going to eat the food on? No one's bringing plates.

Going to the devs and saying you will only work on a new pvp server should be met with a 'Thanks but no thanks. We are focusing on Velious." One of the higher ups has to over see the new pvp server which takes away from his time spent of velious. Which takes away from velious. Period.
In that situation, guess what happens? Velious progresses at the same pace and PVP doesn't get done. Nothing is solved.

It's unbelievable that you live in a world where you think people will take you seriously given the content of what you're posting. You have no qualifying skills that give you the ability to armchair-manage a collection of dead newts, let alone talented programmers and developers.

The likely holdup with Velious is the tedious grunt-work done at the line level by those with programming talent. Those who oversee the project, those with administrative talent, literally can't do anything of value for Velious until tasks at that level are completed.

So, say Administrator A is waiting on a list of ten tasks from his developers before he goes in, does some validation and signs off on the work done. This administrator can do ANYTHING ON THE FUCKING PLANET that he wants without impeding on the best-case progress with Velious. He could go get shitfaced in Vegas, or look into a team PVP server. It doesn't matter. His time doesn't come into play until those ten tasks are completed, at which point a good administrator would validate the work and identify the next set of deliverables.

Plus, are you seriously suggesting he turn away a volunteer programmer that expresses interest in a team PVP environment just because there's another project at hand? What if this developer gets two weeks into team PVP and decides hey, Velious sounds more fun? You're the kind of person that might be able to recognize talent, but have absolutely no idea what to do with it. If you worked for my company and I found out you turned down a goldmine of programming ability simply because they didn't initially express interest on working on your pet project, I would fire your ass so hard you wouldn't find a job in a related sector for decades.

Story short, you want Velious but have no idea how to get it. That doesn't give you any right to boss around those who do know how to get Velious up and running. I've done workforce management for large companies under the directive that Project B needs to be completed but can, in no way, impede on Project A. There's no "things aren't what they seem" in this scenario - if hours aren't adding up and projects aren't moving according to cycle and deadline constraints, people (me) get fired and companies lose huge contracts.

It would help if you'd realize that your level of intellect isn't a concrete ceiling for human intelligence, and people find plenty of creative and executable ways to manage multiple projects congruently. Instead, you seem to be assuming that your worldview is the end-all of "How Things Are" and not only does that totally fuck up your own chances for personal progress and positive change, but makes you dead weight to any situation requiring creative solutions to achieve success.
this guy is my new hero.
saying that putting all the "manpower" you have to the release of velium will accelerate its release is like saying having more men engaging in intercourse with a woman will accelerate her climax. you better just have the right ammount of ppl with the right ammount of knowledge to do shit right.
to quote a tv character "more does not equal merry".
that being said, just be thankfull someone gave you the chance to transport you back to in time with this great project. don't be an ungrateful cunt, no one likes those. and if you don't like it... just leave. no one's holding you, jack.
lots of love from Argentina.
