  • I listened to Moves like jagger quite a lot as well when I was younger.Haven't listened to it in a while
    Try to tell you no but my body keeps on telling you yes

    Explains my relation ship with my chocolate and anything that has a lot of cheese
    Looks like the tournament is down to the two of us. I'd still be interested in playing if you are?
    Dunno what my problem was, an error I had never faved before. Pastebin paste failed :s
    28mb is not a lot right?
    Alright, you seem to be obstinate to keep this going on.


    ----------
    They are not different.
    Person X doing something == person Y doing something
    Fact remain that you (the creator of the project) did not do it.
    There is no debating the truth of this.
    ----------
    What?? You don't even know what you're saying.


    ----------
    I took the sound of a youtube video which I did not make.
    How many sounds in any map are made by the creator? in 99% of all cases, none.
    The default sounds are made by Blizzard and requires no effort for the user to use as they see fit. They are allowed to do so, obviously, but it's not something they created. Just like the sound of the youtube video that I did not create.
    ----------
    So what if the sounds are not created by him? The game mechanics, the triggers, the ideas, the custom object editor data, the main idea etc... are all his. These are 95% of the efforts put in any map. You can have models, icons, sounds and godlike terrain pre-made, but if you suck at triggering, creating custom data and your idea is cheap and/or unoriginal, you will NEVER create something good. This means some efforts must be done to create a good map. You have the equipments and the materials: now use them to do something new and great.

    Additionally, in a cinematic, what is counted is the triggering (very few done in your case), the story (not yours) and the dialogues (not yours either). You own nothing substantial of that map, and as long as you don't understand that, you will never accept the idea of the no rating. You keep saying other maps are similar to yours, but what the hell? Do you even read what you're writng? Days, weeks, months and maybe even years of working on maps to create everything important in it (again, that's gameplay, triggers, custom object data) can be compared to copying a video in about a day?? Come on, open your eyes. It's exactly the illogical argument you're bringing up.

    You lost your mind at some point and kept spamming nonsense that holds no weight. Get your sanity back, please.
    If we were to apply this logic, all maps would be either "not rated" or rejected.
    Your logic is full of flaws, but explaining it would also lead to nowhere.
    Comparing "someone doing a terrain or some triggers" to "copying an entire video" in terms of efforts already explains how absurd your statements are.
    Heyo, I see you are creating another cinematic, therefore this is a good time for me to advertise my "Simple Cinematic System" (vJASS). If you are interested, VM meh.
    Wait, are you serious?
    You're trying to convince me that if I gather ideas in the idea factory (but the basic concept is still mine) and import some resources (because not ALL those stuff you mentioned will be done by others), I did almost nothing in a map?
    In addition, teamwork in a map (someone makes the terrain, some spells, triggers etc...) is perfectly fine.
    Please just don't say absurdities in the hope that they will back up your statements.
    Proof?
    I don't see I've been inconsistent in my moderation.
    And specify these x,y and z so that I can understand your concerns.
    *went to sleep*

    Well, this is getting nowhere. I'm not going to repeat myself again, I'll leave others to back me up.
    R
    Choasy, Why are you accusing me? I don't even wanted to have all these Full piece of rubbish reps and all the admin data and I'm really not a hacker, Just a designer..
    Iceborn ---> The author produced the sound acting.
    Gaias ---> It's from 2009... rules were like non-existent then.
    ----------
    Bring it. There is no requirement for linking everything used in a map.
    As I said if you tell the others that argument I am going to link at least 50 maps that do not do that, no kidding. Maybe more just to prove how stupid that argument is.
    ----------
    If it were a "resource", I'd surely overlook that, but if it's the video you're copying, then it's mandatory to give a link to it. No problem in that I suppose, easy as pie.


    ----------
    I did not do the majority, no doubt. But once again, no one does if you really look into it.
    ----------
    What are you saying? I don't know what you mean precisely with that, but I'll answer to it based on my interpretation.
    Importing custom resources does not mean you are not doing the majority of your map. The authors still put efforts in inserting all the complex triggers, creating the terrain and shaping the gameplay. These are what count most, yet in your cinematics, I cannot see that at all :/

    I told you, a 4/5 or 5/5 can't be awarded for copying someone else's idea. Nothing of your own produce is present except the black terrain and some basic triggering. If the sound acting were yours, your map would've gotten for sure a rating.


    ----------
    Go open some decent 4/5 map and tell me how much work they really did.
    ----------
    I don't understand the point of this. Anyway, these people have done their maps without copying 100% others, that's what counts. Also, I don't trust moderations before 2014 as the rules were not applied and there are some suspicious no ratings out there so if you select maps from these times, it would be fruitless.
    You're spinning around yourself with some nonsense and just nitpicking every word I write, but to no avail. What's the problem of including the original videos in the map descriptions? That'll make sure you're all right with the rules first of all, which is now a new issue.
    The thing is you take some sound acting that is not yours, take an idea of someone else, create almost no terrain and snivel about getting an approval with no rating. That's so ridiculous, let me tell you that. Admit it, you nearly did nothing. All the positive comments you received are for the original video, not for what you did. The ratings received are all thanks to someone else's work, and you still pretend me to rate that 4/5 or 5/5? You ain't thinking straight then...
    The no rating will still be discussed in the Reviewer's Reserve.
    You literally torn them off the youtube and slammed them in the World Editor as they are.


    ----------
    Also I don't need their permission.
    ----------
    Yes, you do. The sound acting is not yours (which is the only focus of the cinematic), nor is it your idea creating them. What's exactly yours then? Your maps are merely clones of the videos, and I cannot give a rating also for that reason. But let's assume the author is inactive or doesn't reply (mainly the reason I approved the map). The original creator may not like the idea of you taking all the praise for what he created himself since you did not even give a link to these videos. Why don't you? If there are original youtube versions, you should have no problems mentioning that. You must say you are not the one behind the idea of these maps. That's mainstream and mostly common sense.


    ----------
    And why I choose to upload them has nothing to do with you giving them 0 rating.
    ----------
    Explained above and in my other messages why it got "no rating".
    So you want some rules to get convinced? Ok, here we go:
    So basically you only copied two videos from youtube, put them in the World Editor and called them "your creations". According to our rules, you need to get permission from the original creators before even uploading them, but why then? They are already on youtube and we do not need them as a map. This means you should be thankful they've been approved because I'd have a reason to reject both for copying someone else's work.
    Neither do I. Also, too lazy to search for it - I blame you for that moment of laziness!

    Yeah. Half the site is waiting for that to happen. :xxd:
    I remember the two f you actually agreeing once - not even that long ago, even this year!

    But yeah, you should probably kiss each other already. d:
    The problem is not the time you spent on it, rather the simplicity and how much you contributed to it. If you could create a very complex map in just a few days, I'd have 0 reasons to set it to no rating.


    ----------
    That's only if they find it, people usually filter when they look for maps.
    If they filter 2/5 my map wont be displayed.
    Hell if they filter 1/5 it wont be either.
    ----------
    If I repeat myself, we'll reach the same point. Your download rate is higher than some maps that got 4/5 and 5/5.


    ----------
    In terms of enjoyment I'd rate it a 5/5 as well, and that's what matters.
    I'll admit that it's great because of the sounds which I used and not because of my triggering, but that does not make the map worse from any standpoint.
    ----------
    Enjoyment is not the only thing judge, otherwise many other maps would achieve higher ratings. There are other factors I judge.
    You should not consider no rating as 0/5, regardless if the filter search says so. "No rating", as the name suggests, is given when there is no suitable rating that can be given. A short cinematic with blackness and some imported sound acting is not something I can rate because YOU yourself did not produce a lot of your own. The rules do not state that but it's pretty obvious.
    But let's face it in another way. If I gave you 4/5 or 5/5 for something so simple, it would be very unfair because other cinematics (or even maps themselves) that are better than yours and got things like 4/5 and 5/5 would be discriminated (Unforgotten Grudge, Over the Hills, A Pile of Ugly etc...). Your map does not compare to these (no offense, your cinematic was still epic :D)
    However, a rating below 4/5 would be unjust as people enjoyed watching your cinematic and gave ratings above 3/5. In the indecision, it's better not to rate it.


    ----------
    Mod rating equals more downloads which equals more happiness for me, I am sure you understand that.
    ----------
    *cough* *cough* The first thing a user sees is user rating which is pretty high. It is then followed by my positive mod comment. My rating doesn't influence a lot the downloads so long as the user rating and the general overall comments are positive. To prove you wrong, here is an example. In about one month, you got nearly 40% of the downloads that are on my cinematic Searing Conflict (mod rating 4/5)... and it was uploaded about two years ago.


    ----------
    At first I was not gonna bring it up further because I thought "Whatever it'll just be a 3/5 anyway". But then my other map got 5/5 and I consider that one to be worse than the one you reviewed.
    ----------
    I don't really understand why Rufus gave you 5/5 on that cinematic, which is essentially the same thing as Farewell Arthas, but I need to show consistency in my moderation. If it were for me, it would've gotten a "No rating" as well, because if a 5/5 was obtainable just by importing some pre-made sounds into a black map, it would be just too freaking easy, wouldn't it? Anyone could do it, therefore the 5/5 would lose its real value.
    I'll need to have a little chat with Rufus about it.

    If you are still unconvinced and want to take it to staff contact, feel free to do so. It's your full right to complain about a rating you're unsatisfied with :)
    I don't think it is ("bitchy"?) to ask for someone to reconsider their rating. Even if it is considered to be, it is ok since you want to promote your project, nothing else, which I think is more than vaild.
    You shouldn't ask in staff contact though, as it might seem rude.
    I suggest you ask SF first, he is reasonable. :)
    Haha, "rating whore" (aren't we all...)
    I don't wanna step on his toes. You'll have to ask him for a re-consideration.
    I also don't like reviewing many of the same persons maps, as it might seem like favoritism.
    Dang!
    I'll never learn his name correctly. This is the third or fourth time someone tells me this... :D
    Thanks for pointing it out!
    Its a good update.
    What I really wwas thinking off was that you had a broken link code and it was weirdly left-oriented. Looks good now! :)
    Alright, I just find it baffling that you find something so strange when it's such a natural part of the animal kingdom.
    So it's not the sexual aspect that bothers you then I'm taking it if you put no weight on my asexuality. But why then do men have a g-spot (the prostate) in their @$$?
    ----------
    I am fine with it. Just don't get anywhere close to me because it makes me uncomfortable.
    ----------
    What is that you think that a bi-romantic asexual like myself is going to do to you, put you in frying pan and cook you until you're medium rare? :D
