Look what Ducimus did!

[Ducimus]

The only thing further i care to add to this thread, is that there is a reason why the CPO in the control room crew is who takes the DO position during battle stations. It was an asthetical compromise, because.. could it be... i was very well aware of what i was putting in the diving officer position? Nahhhh.. no way, i just hap hazzardly place crewman willy nilly without much forethought. :rotfl:

Looks more like im being called out to me. If theres sarchasm involved, im not seeing it.

As a neutral observer to this discussion, would it not be better to change the name of the thread to avoid unnecessary rancor. It certainly sounds like an accusation, the way it is titled.
Perhaps something more helpful as to the subject, such as Control Room Crew Compliment in TMO.

Combine the accusatory title

With this belittling tone:

Yeah, it would make a difference, Duciboy.

Boy?

With my heightend sense of stress enduced irritability.....

And yeah, im going to sound angry. If DavyJonesFootlocker was just being sarchastic, then i apologize for my angry tone.

This is a mole hill, not a mountain.

I suppose the reference 'Duciboy' could be perceived as antagonistic or disrespectful....but no more than I've witnessed on other threads.

Nice mod BTW.

[Ducimus]

Well, im tired, cranky, irritable, and in many things, im just too burnt out to care anymore. Other then that i make no excuses.

Nice mod BTW.

Thanks.

I know one thing. Im never doing/managing a mod this large ever again. What started as a quick fix or unoffical patch to get the game playable, has turned into a "supermod" . I never planned, or intended for this mod to go as far along as it has. It just sort of grew on me. Nowadays, i guess its kinda like trying to keep a 6 foot aligator in a 4 foot fishtank. :rotfl:

DavyJonesLocker,

Where does it say in any manual that the Diving Officers position had to
be manned by an officer - none that I am aware of.

I also take offense of you calling a Chief Petty Officer, 1st Class Petty Officer,
or even a 2nd Class Petty Officer a Bilge Rat. Each one of those ranks would
have spent more time on a sub toilet, then you have spent playing the game
or even been on a submarine.

For your information, they would put the best QUALIFIED person in that
position, no matter what his rating was.

I am pretty sure that nearly all of us would agree that the modders here like Ducimus and many others should be thanked and appreciated for all the work that they do, all of it just because of their good citizenship to the SH community.

Doesn't matter so much whether we all want to include their mods in our game or not, just the simple fact that they have made the effort and posted the results. Good, bad or otherwise every effort is appreciated and none should ever be criticized or belittled for their efforts. No matter whether their work is targeted to the hard core, the arm chair, or the shooting gallery players- these friends of the community have a little something for everybody. The number one thing in my book that makes the game so fun and always new.

A big thank you to each and every one the modders here. Keep 'em coming!

I do empathise (the alligator analogy).....It gets me to wondering what analogy might be used when a supermod the size of GWX eventually comes over to SHIV.....perhaps something along the lines of:

'trying to keep a whale in a goldfish bowl' :rotfl: :rotfl:

In the meantime I'll continue to play both and continue to scale that learning curve.

DJFL, you stand accused of disrespect and taunting a senior modder, how do you plead?

You mean Duciboy?

How do you plead?

Why'd they put a bilge rat in the judgeship? I want a REAL judge. You're wearing khakis. What's going on here?

How do you plead? You must plead before I find you guilty and pronounce sentence.

How do I know? I don't even think a bilge rat can be a judge. Don't you look familiar?

Last chance before I adjudicate you guilty without plea and sentence you.

You look just like one of those bilge rats Duciboy put in the control room! What do you think you're pulling? I want a real judge.

I find you guilty of first degree disrespect for a senior modder. I find you guilty of second degree taunting a senior modder. I hereby sentence you to be hung by the neck until you are dead. Sentence to be carried out immediately. Please hurry gentlemen, I have to get back to my other job in the control room.

Man ! Just my opinion, but I personally could give a (bilge) rats ass about who is at what position.[pardon my french, I just couldn't resist that one] I've never paid any attention to that aspect. As long as the game plays the way I wish it would, and it does thanks to Duci, I'll never complain about such an issue. If that is the worst of our worries, compared to where we once were, we're sitting pretty good in the SH4 world !
