what's up with this new user thing? so you are new you can't talk? you need to have 500 posts where you diss the author to talk on this forum ? is that what you saying? Or is it your only argument ?

Im not new, lets say that some admins here are working hard to favor toxic people.
I just welcomed you, if you feel called into question for something else it's your problem.

but it's just very strange that you attacked a user as the first post

So you welcome people laughing at them ?

I don't judge, not my job or my habit / hobby. I'm just disappointed that the place where i used to discuss story development became so toxic
Trust me, the laughter is not at you. With every new user we see ourselves from years back. Also, the never ending circle of recurring rants like yours. No need to take offense.

L&P doesn't need defenders. He will do what he chooses, whether praised or criticised & that means slow, going on slower. He certainly doesn't need "new members" with accounts, set up in a sense of outrage, in the interests of balance, for the sake of rehashing old statements, or whatever? Whenever he feels that the criticism is unjust he comes to the thread himself, to blow off steam. He's quite capable of defending himself.

Let's be honest, there are many pirates here, like me, who discuss the game/VN but also want something for nothing. As this is a pirate site, albeit in this case with a moderated thread, it attracts.....pirates, along with other fans. Why is it that pirates need an excuse to post critical comments & need to be taken to task? It's the obvious issues that attract the criticism. L&P has shown, consistently for years, that these issues will not be addressed. If that's the case & IMO after following the game for 5 years, I think it most definitely is, the question could be, why not let the thread go SILENT? I've advocated this as a worthwhile experiment but realise it's virtually impossible. There will always be the one-liners, out of the blue, asking if Dylan has got very far yet, what's in the next update, etc.

AWAM is so good, when it IS good, that it keeps people coming back, in my own case these days, mainly out of curiousity, as in, I want to see what happens next. That is a tribute to the story-telling ability of the Dev. Anyone who feels like defending the speed of development or some other aspect, on the other hand, usually opens with a criticism of the critics. This is one of the reasons for the toxicity of the thread.

L&P has chosen not to engage with the thread for 99% of the time. He doesn't want to communicate & I respect that. I don't like it but that's how it is. This does create something of a vacuum into which we pour comments & it's not surprising that many of these concern the ludicrous timescale for completion, or the broken promises to speed up.

As for myself, I criticise & praise, trying to be objective but that's difficult when discussing a game due to end c30 years from now. I also point out implausible situations or inconsistencies, as with the recent "scripting error" which resulted in the mystery of Sophia's gang meeting outfit. These are things which I feel need highlighting for the sake of the stories.

Now I'm not saying that the Dev owes us pirates anything, he clearly doesn't. He does owe it to himself & his paying Patrons to maintain the integrity of AWAM & yes, to address the outstanding issues.

I am not defending anyone, i don't care about the dev or his mindset or his patrons, i take this game as it is. Just a game. I don't feel entitled to tell him what he should do or what he shouldn't.
And you said it yourself, you are complaining for years about these issues and nothing has changed so far. Proof that it doesn't work.
Now i am not saying you can't complain, you have the right to do so. Everyone does, even pirates. Doing it once or twice a week is fine, but doing this all day long doesn't help and only makes this thread toxic.
Then, it appears we are in agreement, as I don't criticise all day long. There's still the open question, as with, what can we do? Answer....nothing? After this length of time it would be interesting to see what would happen if this thread went, not silent but 'quieter', leaving it to the "where's Dylan?" brigade. It would take an almighty voluntary collective effort & would need to be sustained for a length of time but I'd really like to see it happen. Just a thought....

I make a point to not engage with spammers and trolls. But IF I were to reply to this, I’d say:

In the last release a black kid slid his hand under the MC’s skirt and groped her bare white ass. That ain’t love?
She’s also showered in the school with bbc janitor while he rubs one out and naked in sauna with Vicky and her bbc boyfriend

Can't wait for this update, where Sofia will be coerced to ...show her nipples to 16 year old gang members, just to save her karateka son, from getting bullied by (let me fucking repeat that - 16 year old fucking kids). :rolleyes:
I really hope she'll come across those hobos in that alley, where she'll be raped and forcefully double-penetrated.
Now THAT would definitely rekindle our interest in this story.
