report the individual...

other wise people need to pay attention....why would the version number of the new beta patch be so low...

why would one of the links be from mega upload??

it took me like 5 seconds after the page appeared on my screen to figure out that it was fake...in fact the MOMENT i noticed the post it was suspect with the low version or build number....

and then the megaupload link should have threw up more red flags....prompting you to look at the date....also the # of comments were unusual...

OH Boy I think it was funny and distracting. I don't think it deserved a ban, he said nothing about patch being ready. Its not his fault your all patch happy. Whom ever is upset about this joke needs to get out and get a life.

I have discussed the issue in PM's with Pencon, and it was actually an accident.

Somehow, when searching for news on the patch, Pencon managed to find the old thread and installed the patch himself (oops!) and didn't realise his error (though he wondered about a lack of changes and sound bugs lol) until several PM's later.

So in fairness, it doesn't seem to have been deliberate either.

People get banned for posting off topic replies which is less then this.

Yes, I can relate to this. We must guard against the insidious evil within ourselves, and be kind and considerate even when it i snot always easy.

>>This is why it feels so good. E.g. dictators like Stalin or Hitler usually blamed and executed their generals for their own mistakes.<<

A good and valid analogy. Couldn't have put it better myself.

>>It is much more painful to take responsibility for a mistake and admit to yourself: "I can not pay attention when needed. I can not control my anxiety. I can not clearly think when excited. I need someone else like forum members or admins to tell me what to do because I can not make responsible decisions myself. I am not a grown up man yet."<<

Absolutely.

>>No one can "get" you to purchase a game, upgrade a PC or download a file from internet. It is always you who make a bad decision unless you have a gun pointed at your head when you make it. Children do not make their own decisions of cause as adults make them for them. Then most of children grow up and learn to take responsibility. <<

Yes.

I sense a new solidarity in this forum, and that can only be a good thing for the future. Long may it continue.

@Ataros

Very well said!!!!

@Falstaff

I'm afraid about your change of coat, from evil critisizer to fanboi in just one post.
I hope you'll find a intermediate setting .

To be honest I can't believe the amount of people that are sticking up for this stupid berk and his like!

IMO you are no better and just as sad.

I'm one of the people on here that isn't a prolific poster mainly because there are far too many bigoted loud mouthed 'know it alls' on here for me to be bothered getting into any arguments or even sensible discussion with. I'm also someone that has handed out a fair amount of polite stick to the Devs (or whoever is responsible) not only for the poor state of CloD but also for their poor handling, lack of communication, bull, and delaying tactics where releasing of the new patch is concerned.

I'm getting on a bit now (Victor Meldrew anyone ), maybe that's why I'm unable to comprehend anything being funny or clever about dashing peoples hopes where the release of the patch is concerned (I don't get alternative comedy either). Those that do are actively encouraging more of the same behaviour which in my opinion is not good for this forum or the current shambolic state of the community.

Someone earlier stated that people like me should get out more...Wrong! Personally, I get out plenty. It's the dick heads that can find nothing better to do than concocting this sort of stuff with the sole intention to frustrate and piss others off, that need to find some sort of life.

I feel sorry for the sad baskets! (Not!)

I agree on calling out others over their acitons, but in all fairness it turns out that neither Foobar nor pencons actually acted to deliberately deceive.

The first was an honest bump of outrage over the lack of patching that inadvertently misled people. The second was a user who themselves made a mistake when they fell for an old patch thread.

It seems that in neither case was malice part of the equation.

Au contraire mon frere (as we say in German) I believe he was entirely sincere.

I am sorry you feel that way, genuinely. I do not doubt that you like to go out of the house quite a lot and lead a rich and varied and fulfilling existence, and speak for the silent majority, as many of us do.
