Jimmy, it's like it's your job to make everyone feel valued
yeah you pretty much got it right there... and i WANT everyone to feel valued here...
i truly love this scene on a deep personal level, i really do and ill admit it; this means a great deal to me i know that sounds stupid... ive always been a major fan of BC for a decade now literally every day, i am very passionate of the game, the scene, everything in involved.. i always have been...
all i can do is continue to be a cheerleader for it all (for lack of better term) and do my best to keep the scene in a very tight respectable flow... sure, i have faults (many lol) - i was much more of a bitch years ago... (some people here will attest to that lol) i have lightened up over the last few years but i used to be much more of a bitch and knew as staffer i could be... but then i realized i was just a dick, and thats not fair to anyone...
but this scene and community means more to me on a very deep level, prolly moreso than anyone else...
ive been onstaff as moderator for all the sites for BC; BCU, here, BCS, Filefront, BCFiles, KM - because i really do love everything about this all, since i came onto the scene 10 years ago...
i wish i had any skills like anyone to be able to mod the game, best i can do is some scripting (not nearly to your level even) - all i can give to offer to this scene personally is loyalty, dedication, and a true spirit and uttermost deep true desire to be here and my utmost respect for everyone here...
thats the best i can do... i only hope thats enough... it means more to me than anything to keep us all together and tight and respectful and care about this all... as much as i do...
in the last decade, ive met a handful of AWESOME people thru this scene, people that arent here anymore (all on Excalibur now), people that i have formulated real friendships with, people i talk to daily or weekly or whenever i can - that i would have never had the privilege to know if not for BC; and im the one truly and sincerely who feels lucky and honestly privileged to be a part of this all...
thats the truth..
but dude - seriously, Bat66wat6 - your scripting skills are amazing and you speak the language much better than most (myself included) -i do seriously hope you have the desire to stick around and create as many awesome things for BC and for us all
ok enough sappy... i need a beer lol
Excalibur's forums aren't as community friendly as BCC.
are you fucking kidding me??? ummm yeah sorry, but i disagree...
youre not much a part there anyway, so you cant even begin to profess how "friendly" or not they are...
in fact, Excal forums are actually as much friendly (if not more) and awesome as BCC is, frankly...
and the best thing is how much oldschool people are there all together again, and how much other people from other communites are all there too and how awesome it is - and how it is just beginning!!
thats the truth...
Although, I seriously doubt anyone would notice if it were released
aaah man, you are so wrong there
you have no idea how people truly value anyone's contribution to this game, to keep the spirit alive
You all speak of BCU as though it was some great paradise
oh it was... when BC's elite-most modders were all around and active - you have no idea how much FUN bcu was! i know im not the only one who remembers when Nano put out NanoFXv2 beta or when Viper and LC put out bridge after bridge, , and MLeo script after script, when BCS did the BCS:TB mod and when KM was first released bny Defiant and crew - those were awesome days! circa 2003 - 2005ish
or when Mark and 3rd Era put out even more bridges and scripts and when ATP:Dimensions (that never got finished, tho some of us still have a copy of it) and all that - ship after ship, mod after mod, by BC's elite-most modders all there together in BC's prime! they were really awesome days!
Fascinating. A bunch of guys got fed up with Bridge Commanders unstable outdated engine and thought "F this, we're all dedicated Trek fans and good at development so lets *make our own game*!" Ha ha. That's the kind of crazy shit only hardcore Trekkies could pull off
thats exactly it! it was supposed to be a megamod rebuild of BC, but they decided BC was too limited... so they made their own engine... oldschool legends like Nano, LJ, Mark, LC and about 3 dozen others - oldschool BC's best and even new people - with such great skill and talent are all collaborating!
im so very lucky to have behind-the-scenes access to what they are doing, and all i can say is this shit will knock your fuckin socks off when done!!! you guys have NO idea! and there is alot done already that isnt public yet - just wait! you guys will see!
