Do you really think the fake B6 post was an accident?

you have your "personal opinion"... others have theirs.



I've been around forums of differing natures for quite a while now and have seen some really scary tricks and methodologies, as well as quite a few nice things

So....2 people consecutively bumped 2 separate patch posts in 1 night by accident and all within a goldfish's memory of a fake B6 post.......sounds credible.

If you mean this series of posts;

Then again, initially no, but based on the PM's that were sent by pencon later, I am satisfied - or at least quite doubtful of guilt - that it was indeed an accident and that the user likely mistook that old patch as the much awaited patch.

Again, long way to go for a deception to post PM's keeping it up.

As for your opinion - its the brashness with which you concluded it. Surely you have some doubts?

elemental dear watson they would use the search function searching for pathc, i think theyre inocent

Yes they could have searched for pathc, but if they were gifted with the ability to read it would have served them well to note the date.

Raaaid, as two of the most respected members of this forum, I do not think it is wise to allude to, or impugn the intergrity of, either Bongodriver or Wolf Rider.

They have consistently offered a great deal to the forum, and proved themselves above the tittle-tattle and hearsay that is sometimes known to befall this place.

A little more respect for eachother, please.

Not to mention only ONE seems to have done so by accident - Pencon.

The other, Foobar, seems to have used an old patch thread to voice his displeasure about how unbelievably long the wait for the patch has been, without realising that the natural effect for many would be to assume that the patch was out.

If I had been browsing old patch threads and thinking of making a comment, particularly if I was upset about waiting for a much needed new patch, I am not sure that it would leap to my mind that some people might not notice the date and actually install the old patch.

Yes, in the ONE case this was a mistake and the user in question installed the wrong patch themselves. Far cry from deliberately misleading though.

Well I would impugn it based on personal experience and will take your call to authority for what it is. Let's not play popularity games here.

Your post stinks of wanting to drown out Raaid's opinion.

I had a good laugh, that topic was much more fun than all the other "where is the patch" whining :grin: My first thought was: "Clever... almost tricked me." Was caught due the date, but this attempt was the most cunning, what I saw on the forum :mrgreen:
I am sorry, however, that FooBar punished because of average human stupidity :roll:

It was a joke. Even if someone does not know how B6 name is spelled, the post count of 1 was clearly obviously screaming it was not a post by B6.

It was fun to read and very educational because it let people realise for a second how much they have to loose, how great CloD is. People usually do not appreciate something enough until they loose it. Cancellation of a project is everyday business reality and this may happen to CloD if we do not support it and the sequel enough. Many people present at the forums do not realise it. That is why that post was very useful.

After reading Oleg's comments about CloD release one of forum members PMed me that many people probably do not realise how lucky we are to have CloD released. It was almost a miracle it happened. Now I can say we do not realise how lucky we are to have CloD not closed down yet.
