please keep it private until we discussed it. thx.
Let´s keep drama low, alright? Afte we´re ready, feel free to post whatever you like.
********************************************************************
*sigh* Alright. I drop everything into the risky point to make it public and discuss it like adults. Just because if others just read one part they don´t understand everything and get wrong views of the situation. Also to "talk behind somones back" (the pm system is just meant for two persons.) and retell the stuff to the 3rd person gets old.
Man this really hurt me.
You don´t mind if I "tear" (-> take it piece for piece), do you?
Well the switch only occurred in the last few days, and I figured it'd be better for you guys to see the result right away.
Yeah here starts a probem. It´s something about trust. Ben and me really had stressfull weeks and we push and push the deadlines back more and more. You know? This is something about trust between friends. It´s like: We count on you to finish stuff in time if we would like/want to see so such things. Yeah ok you can discuss about how though we should see it, but: we all pushed this stuff too far away and now we had real deadline(s) to fullfill.
You came up with a redundant anime (let´s just let this stand into the room) and a not really half done track with even wrong beginning and ending times. I mean: What´s up with it? These things doesn´t give a good image to you.
But I honestly did not realize this was such a big deal.
I´m not out for risking friendship because of such silly things. I really don´t. You realize it now and that´s it. End of story. Let´s get back to business.
No need to waste words here.
I mean, come on! I was 16 when I started this hobby, and freaking immature
cheez. You really don´t wanna know my first experiences with internet communities just like the org. Do you know that I was the cliché noob in nearly everything?
, but now? It's so... Petty. These are just silly conventions. There are as many plus sides to an anime repeating itself in an MEP than minuses. It's all just stupidity, and it's the reason I'm hanging out here less and less. If you can't see that, then whatever.
Good you make a good point.
Ben wrote:I don't want him using Eureka Seven as his main source, period, because it looks bad. He can use melee's footage for his concept or whatever, but I don't want him to have E7 be the main thing we see in his track.
Than... let´s just work around it. Let´s move the core from E7 to two animes as base or more.
Just from a different angle:
The concept of Greg was to make a mix of all tacks. So it´s kinda logic that he might use a redundant anime as base.
The core of the dramatic lies somewhere else.
Ben wrote:The big thing that pisses me off about this whle situation is that he waited until now to show us what he's using. I mean, this is his FIRST beta. Seriously. I'm just getting fed up with his excuses as to why he hasn't released anything, and now that he's gone and used the exact same source as a different editor, I see that I'm justified in getting upset about his slacking.
It stands in the first post of the thread where your track beginning and ending stands too (what you seam to got wrong).
Thread Post #1 wrote:Please let me know what anime you're using as soon as possible. I obviously don't want any repeats in terms of who's using what anime, so the sooner you tell me what anime you want to use, the better.
It´s even bolded! The fact that you didn´t told us about your anime choice, that you come really late with your beta and that you misstook the tracktimes is annoying.
They´re some kind of rules that you should care about. I could have leaved my part in 16:9 (because I´m not that much bothered of it), but I didn´t.
There wouldn´t be that much of a problem if you just discussed it with Ben. Like:
"Hey I need a different source as mainbase for my track. I know that melee already uses it, but I thought about E7"
"Well it stands in the rules that..."
"No. Wait I have a special concept in my mind [...]"
"Ah. yeah I see, but if you [...]"
"Well ok, instead I could [...]"
"Sounds good, but what about [...]"
A simpel discussion.
And I will be getting you my final within the next 24 hours, which I can assure you will be before other people.
Talking about time issues. I don´t see a point in kicking you now. Just for the realistic fact that no new editor garanutees that he makes better work or is faster.
Doesn´t make sense.
Unlike a lot of people on the org, you're grounded in reality.
Well after a while, after looking at all the pseudo people out there I really wanted more rl. Not that I don´t have one, but I got some kind of sick.
Grounded? Maybe now, but I do have my lows or false heights.
But really, it doesn't seem like there's much of a place for me around here anymore.
Yeah and that´s the part that really hurt me because I really don´t want to miss you dude. There is always a place where you sat yourself. It´s just about acceptance about all the annoying things around you and how you deal with them. I don´t like the I-sync-every-crap thingy or the reactions of other people on some videos (youtubers for exampel), but I have to accept them. Light walls of imaginations to distant yourself (doesn´t mean that you go away completly).
Good next step: The workaround.
