I have been taking too much credit for the work done on OP.
I did the work as a paid employee of Taldren (for the greatest
part) and therefore it is Taldren that deserves the credit for the
fixes on OP. I was part of a team (and pround to be so), and their
work on paying projects enabled me to work part-time on SFC,
in addition to my assign work on B9. I guess I got suckered in
by the limelight and let it go to my head. I apologize for this.

Another thing, I am not SFC. If I go away tommorow, there will still
be SFC to play, thanks to Taldren. Zach and Ken continue to work
on the SFC3 server and God willing will finish their work soon so
we can get an official patch from Activision.

I don't plan on going anywhere soon, so you'll still have Dave to
kick around for awhile longer.

Thanks,

Dave

Your efforts in the last several weeks have been all on your own time Dave and they are greatly appreciated. You show a dedication to SFC that has been unsurpassed by anyone that I know.

The patches Taldren has produced also would not have been possible
without the tireless efforts of our volunteer testing group:

3dot14, aaron_j_l, AdmiralFrey_XC, Ancient, Bloodfury, Bossman, Chris Jones, crimnick, CptCastrin,
Captain KoraH, FireSoul, mbday, NannerSlug, NuclearWessels, Pestalence, Reptor7,
RazalYllib, RogueJedi_XC, Ryker, Scrag, Strafer, TalonClaw, TheJudge, The Pelican,
TheSatyr, Tick and Toasty0 !

and I'm sure a few present and past members I'm am forgetting.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

I have been meaning to tip-toe an e-mail to KoraH, but wanted to give him some space ... Have you been in contact with him recently?

I got a long e-mail from him just after he pulled the plug on his server and left us all, so I was giving him time for some reflection before trying again ...

Any chance CaptainKoraH could be persuaded to revisit us? Perhaps an e-mail or phone call from you might help?

I miss his work ... and input.

I'm not trying to revive past hurts and issues here, but maybe it's time we all buried our hatchets and work toward the long-term good of the rapidly shrinking community.

Any help from you would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No I haven't heard from him.

I hold no animosity towards him, he was a great
asset to the community who went balastic over a little
criticisim for another member (why does this sound
familar to me). I am not the forum Admin any more but
I would have no problem with his return (I was AFK for
the whole incident so am not as aware as Ann, she may
have a perfectly sound reason to be against it, I don't know
how she feels on the matter at all).

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

Just e-mail the man. See what he says. He respects you greatly.

scott2978@yahoo.com

I will also make an attempt today, as he and I developed a good relationship after 6 campaigns. It wasn't easy, but we made it through and learned how to deal with eachother -- both being the stubborn grunts that we are ...

Just try, sir. All we can ask.

THANK YOU DAVE!

Eh, I was just cannon fodder for the other testers.

Thanks, Dave!

Thanks Dave.

I love to see that Dave is giving credit to all whom have helped.

But, let's face it, without you Dave.... SFC3, SFC2, and SFC OP would not be where they are today.

I feel that Taldren will miss you greatly.

<S> Sir!

WaterTiger · « **Reply #12 on:** December 12, 2003, 04:07:50 pm »

Well, Ann ... Now that he had had some time alone, perhaps we can have a little "intervention" of sorts and approach him?

I know this may be "extending" the rules a bit, but his knowledge, commitment and dedication shown to this community -- despite his seemingly irrational explosion -- might pay off for all of us.

Just a thought. I know you have his #, and maybe you can give him a jingle or send him an e-mail.

Without Dave, those OP testers wouldnt have anything to try to break.

It was satisfaction personified to assist in some measure with this monstrosity that is OP.
I have enjoyed ever minute, and would do it all over again.

BTW I found a non critical bug.

Battle Station had listed Speed 1.$

Got a screen shot as well, any one else seen this?

Strafer · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2003, 08:05:00 pm »

Why don't you talk to him WT. You are his friend. Tell him to contact. Ann. She doesn't bite.
