Regiments project

Regiments are single units in warcraft 3 that are comprised of many small soldiers. These regiments can used to represent the huge masses of troops in large battle, such as the ones in LOTR, without players lagging or the computer freezing.

This is a thread for anything that needs to be posted to me, but that won't fit on a PM and which doesn't seem to fit anywhere else. I will also be using this thread to fill anyone who is interested in on how the project is coming together.

The forum this thread WAS on is called "Campaign/Team Discussion". This can only be defined as "team discussion". How can you say this is off topic? You can't just deport my thread while I'm not looking!

I want to talk to whoever's in charge!

Well, the forum is called in short, the 'Team Gathering' forum. And, yes, I am in charge of it.

You want to talk to whoever is in charge there? Go all ahead, he's right in front of you. Yup, Fladian.

Well then Fladian, first of all, if it's the "Team Gathering" forum, then that should be the title, instead of "Campaign/Team discussion".

Secondly, I have had a look at the forum my thread is now in, and my thread is completely out of place in it. This is a thread about a Warcraft 3 mod, and is off-topic in the "off-topic" forum. Surely there is a place to put threads like this, if not the "Campaign/Team discussion" section? And if there isn't, may I be so bold as to say there should?

Thirdly and finally, how do you know I am not gathering a team? This could just be my way of doing so, instead of the traditional "I am gathering a team for my project" approach? Mabye I was just talking about my project and seeing if anyone was interested? And that goes for Saboera also.

If you're not careful, I'll have to report you to yourself!

things dont work like that on this forum. the moderators actions are observed by the admin before they are given mod privilages. and thus the admins have decided that the actions of those whome they choose to be moderatros, are the correct actions to take

Ahh... a discussion. I didn't have one since... since two days ago.
The Team Gathering forum (in general) has recently undergone some changes like the FAQ is referring to. The "Campaign/Team Discussion" has been called the "Team Gathering" forum for years already. You're the first to mention that word in years as far as I can recall... like a hot potato.

I've had my discussion with Dorelian as well regarding that subject, but it is forbidden to post a project while you are not asking for anyone to help. In other words, if you're not gathering a team, then it is no need to post in the Team Gathering forum.

Yes, well, I placed it in the first best forum I could find. What you said in the first post was not making sense at all in the Team Gathering forum, you were mentioning a project. Yeah, so? In other words, because you were not clear enough, I moved it to the forum where everyone is not "clear enough" ;)

No, there is no place to put threads like this, except the off-topic section, where it is now. Thanks to my discussion with Dorelian what I mentioned before, a subforum like that will never appear either. While Gitlich mentioned a "Map in development" and "Finished map" forum, I am still unaware why it isn't part of the Team Gathering forum.

Since you are not completely referring to one map, it is hard to place it in a place where it only says, "Map in development".

You are not gathering a team according to your first post. You were referring to a project and what it is, and you asked for people to PM you if it didn't fit in a post, what is completely ridiculous because we have no limit here in the posts. If we have, no one will ever reach it. How am I so sure of it? Very simple, I am one of the only people who is able to create a post that people don't want to start reading.

You should have used the "classic" way then, or at least read the FAQ that is standing at the top of the forum. I had all the rights to close, delete or move the thread, I was just kind enough to move it instead of close or delete it, what I'll certainly do starting the day after tomorrow.

If you were just talking about your project and to see if anyone was interested then it is good to move it to the off-topic section. You have no right to ask that in the Team Gathering forum what I mentioned two times before.

Saboera? Do I know him? (again, the memory of a hot potato)

Report me to myself? Sure, what do you want me to do? Scold myself? I'm sure Dorelian and Ragingdemon are on my side when it comes to this as well. Even if I was banned for it, the ban couldn't last longer than a maximum of a few days, and I'll be unactive for the coming 3 months, so what do you want to do?

He was also referring that I moved it to that place then. Quite logical in normals means. Understandable, but he is only rambling a bit about a project and how people may PM him "if it doesn't fit". There is no particular forum for this, so I kindly placed it in the Team Gathering forum where RightField and the others may join him in the discussion ;)

Like you said, if it isn't clear enough, people don't got a clue what you're talking about. Like me.

Usually they do. In my case it was slightly different, they already saw I was a mad spammer all around and didn't really keep the peace in general, but still I became a moderator. In my case it was because I was nice and polite to those "newer" there and was able to to cool down people, not to mention keeping projects alive with my stupid rambeling-about-my-private-life :P (hey, it's true! :P)
The other part was, I was more active than anyone else at the forum at that moment... yeah, I had too much time on my hands back then ;)

*yawn*
Well then, I guess the discussion is over now. Wilbo, just sparkle.

i'll just skip that post and say... nothing really. it's the off topic section. flad, how long did that post take you?

A few minutes, why?

Arggghh!

Stop verbally surrounding me and stabbing me with sharp sticks!

The reason I originally posted this thread is because Oinkerwinkle was doing a model for me, wanted to show me a shot of how it was going, and didn't really have anywhere appropriate to put it. I know that this isn't really an argument, but if it was, it would probably just be picked apart like everything else.

As Beam said, this is the off topic section, and I am mildly insulted. There was a time when I would get angry at this sort of thing, swear at you in four different languages (including gibberish), get banned and get even more angry, but this tactic doesn't seem to work very well.

To sum up, I have been wasting time in a polite manner instead of a rude one; it has the same effect in that nothing is done on my behalf, except that I am not banned and my name is not dirt. Then again, I'm allowed to waste time, after all, this is the off-topic section...

I just realised this thread has been moved to a new section (again), and probably the correct one. I'd like to thank who-ever sorted this out.

I've now done as much as I can without the regiment projectile art, so the map is going to be postponed till then.

I know you don't care, but I don't care if you don't care.
