Actually is it not possible to add things that improve things, yet are not in and of themselves that great? I was simply stating that my dmod would be better than a version of it without those details. You're right... I can't accurately predict it is better... which is why I don't think that.
No, you did not say that. You said that you would be fussy about adding small details that are usually ignored by D-mod authors. You never said anything about your D-mod with and your D-mod without those small details. You said something about D-mod authors and that gave the impression that you were comparing your D-mod with other ones. However, if your only intent is to compare two versions of your D-mod with eachother, you shouldn't mention other authors; that is namely confusing.
And to answer your question if it is possible to add things that improve things but that are not that great in themselves; yes, of course. But you knew that before asking.
And, I, too am going off what other people have said in the past as I stated. Until now you did not. And from my experience people do eventually get sick of hearing about ANYTHING that is continually talked about but never released.
Well if someone states an opnion that has reason and logic behind it I will seriously considered it but so far you have given me no explanations for your opinions so I cannot consider them properly and from all angels.
If you don't understand something I said, you just have to say so, and I will explain it again, in a different way if necessary. I've got no problems with that.
Really? SabreTrout often makes mean comments and based on the fact that he has files here that are now old, he is obviously no newbie. So just because I make a mean comment does not mean I am a newbie.
The one thing you are very good at, is combining facts that have nothing to do with eachother - and this sentence is a fine example. You say that just because you make a mean comment that does not mean you're a newbie, and you make it sound as if I would've said that. But, the truth is that I said that no one who has been longer on the DN would say the things you've said about Sabre in the way you've said it, namely with a mean intent. Hence, you must be a newbie, or a n00b. You're combining however two things, the first one being that you said something in a mean way and the second one being a newbie, and you then stated that making mean comments does not make one a newbie. Which is of course true. But it also has nothing to do with anything, because no one has said anything of the kind. Except you, that is.
And that someone else makes mean comments does not mean you should too. There are a lot of things that other people do and just because they do it, does not mean you should do it too. Hence: if Sabre makes mean comments, you should say something about it, and not make mean comments yourself.
Besides that, you obviously do not know Sabre very well. If you would know him better, you'd know he never makes mean comments - and if he does, it's for a reason.
Well, actually I doubt everyone here has made dmods. And your comments are the only ones I have made these comments to. Which means there is little evidence that I don't listen since the other messages were ones of support from these same dmod authors you are talking about. I am not going to change something when I get more support than critism. Besides one statement of yours has influenced me. That is this: I am now going to worry about those fussy details at later stages so that my first alphas for my testers can be tested at earlier stages, thus speeding up the development stage since I don't have to correct them later on.
Even if I were the only one who thought the way I think and who had the opinions I have, even then that wouldn't change anything nor would it withhold me from saying how things sound to me. And you still sound cocky to me.
Oh and you have been constantly insulting my intelligence by making comments that include parts that I would have to be stupid to not know (such as worry more about plot than minor details)..
Did I say that? Show it to me! You see things that are not there. I never said such a thing, nor would I imply it since something like that never would cross my mind, for I may not always like the way you sound, and I may disagree with you on certain points, but that does not mean that I would consider you stupid.
In fact as someone who has been writing creative stories for a decade I would have to be particualrly stupid to not know that. If you are going to be insulting rather than constructive then please don't respond to my posts. I don't appreciate patronizing commenmts.
And you have every right to not like patronizing comments. As I have every right to not consider mine as such. And to consider yours cocky. There is really no big deal in that, since we all have a right to our own opinions. And if ours differ, that is no reason for me to stop discussing things or to suddenly stop talking to you. I respect you for the human being you are, it is that simple. I really had no intention of being either constructive or insulting; I just responded to your comments and disagreed with some. If that's a reason for you to not wanting me to respond to your posts, then I would have to reconsider the impression you gave me, since I really don't mind a discussion and I really don't mind someone disagreeing with me - and I thought you wouldn't either.
