Upping the rating won't help things, nor will saying "it's not all that good" instead of "it's c***".

I know how hostile places can be with new guys with screwy idea's - just around summer I got flak because I insulted the yum utility in a Fedora forum (I insulted the package dependency part - which does fall over because of the guys creating the packages etc).
I've gotten my share of bad insults over the years, from many different forums and newsgroups, but if you don't read what they type - and understand what they're saying - then you don't learn and you will be forever dumb and blinded by vanity.
My phone (LG shine) has several problems, I'd tell them that it has really good points, but the firmware has some really bad points.
If I had a phone, by a big company, which was something like those toy kiddie sweet-phone's, then I would tell them how sh*t it was, not that "it's not so great" or "it need improving in the whole phone area'.
.. You get my point?

You're blurring the difference between calling something, and calling someONE something. One is an insult, the other a criticism.It's called respect, It's a human thing, just because you can
call something crap or shi**y doesn't mean you should.
Actually I'm not sure what that says.. I'd personally take it as "my game has 'x' wrong with it - what's occurring", and give bug info back to Alex.It could be deemed as Crap since it doesn't
work like it should yet, My game is unplayable on it
Saying to Alex how the online stuff fails is disrespectful? So instead you let him live in ignorance and NEVER have it fixed? Damn, you're an ideal Microsoft user.but do I disrespect
Alex and his software?
There's a difference between stopping, and improving. I for one don't want to stop anyone from using Quest - but I CERTAINLY don't want rubbish out there giving Quest bad rep.if
the service is there on the internet, people WILL use it, no amount
of insults or disrespect could ever change that.
As far as I know, EVERYONE is under a manager (or under someone). But no, my manager is just fine - but higher up, they have no idea how things really work - and it's the same EVERYWHERE. People who need a kick, don't get it, and continue on ignorant until everything falls apart.Let me guess, you were one of those guys under a manager?

I havn't really been active lately so I am going to play your game again and see if my feelings about it change.
Done.
Alrighty. You can see the key in total darkness yet not the paper clip. The lights turn themselves on magically after taking the key. To win just keep clicking north. There is absolutely no room descriptions whatsoever. There is no Ghost object in the final room.
I am at a loss at how you managed to do this. Did you put any thought in it whatsoever? Why do you, and others like you, continue to create these things and expect a positive responce from the quest community? If the truth hurts you so much I wonder why you continue to upload crappy games into the archive and expect a different reaction.
Try to create a good game. Add challenges, puzzles, unique item combinations, interesting room descriptions. A storyline. Don't get me wrong, I am no master of Quest, and few have actually achieved that. (Not mentioning any names) But for the love of god, wait a few years until your age reaches two digits, then try again.
Saying I suck, well that is just really mature. I just don't know how I am going to live on. And you wonder why people don't like you here. If you get a truthful post about your crappy games you simply swear at them, insult them, and show no respect whatsoever.
Holding you back? How does telling the truth hold you back? As far as im concerned it isn't, I am simply telling you how to improve. I regret the way I reviewed your game earlier, I shouldn't have been so cruel. But unfortunetly everything I said was truthful.
A ''dis incouraging loser''. Creative. If only you could channel some of that creativity into your games. I am not ''dis incouraging'' you. I am simply telling the truth, as I have mentioned earlier.
You hate me. Yeah well, build a bridge and get over it. I don't care if you hate me, your words are just pixels on a screen, and hopefully I will never meet you, so I don't give a shit about your feelings towards me are. If the truth hurts you so much then stop posting games like this and screwing up the archive.
You lost your 4 star rating? I am at a loss at how you obtained it in the first place. The only people who gave positive comments about it where authors as crap at writing games as you are. No offence, but like I said, truth hurts.
And I wrote this all under the influence of virtigo! Im so proud of myself. dther99, please just look outside your window, and think about the possibilities just waiting around the corner for you. This is not a world you belong in. This world of game creating is not the place for one such as you. Maybe in a few years, yes, when your grammer and IQ have gone up a bit, maybe even your maturity. But for now, please just leave. You don't belong in this world as much as quest belongs in yours.
Good Day, I hope you take my advice and leave before you are ground into the dirt by ones much crueler than me.

If I didn't know better, Metalgod, I'd swear you don't want people to write reviews of bad games because you're worried what they'll say about yours.

sure review all you want, people continue to miss the point, Calling the author names or literally calling his game sh*t is a good thing I guess?, Why not something like: This game gets a one star because: Spelling errors, 2 rooms long, and you can't do much in the game, better luck next time.

What...? Your grasp of the English language is on par with a toddler's and yet you think you can write a good game? I've yet to see a single post by you that wasn't so riddled with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors as to be almost unreadable - and you think you can write a good text adventure? You haven't even grasped the basics of the English language - but you can write a great game in it?
Put your money where your mouth is, Metalgod. Prove me wrong. Write a good game. Or, alternatively, talk endlessly about this masterpiece of a game you've got in the works which we all know hasn't a hope of getting finished.

Thanatos wrote:Once upon a time there was a little purple pony who had wings and farted rainbows and lived in a magical castle in the clouds with all his other magical pony friends. His name was Andrew Trewin, aka Thanatos.
One day Andrew was googling around the internet when he decided to make some text games with a program he found called Quest. Andrew begged his mama to buy the full version for him and she did. Andrew made two games, Backstreet boy and Assasinating Dr. Froth.
Then Andrew met a person called METALGod32. Andrew decided to try out a game by him, but was so confused by it because the author kept changing the name of it every few days. Andrew persisted. This game was so crap that soon Andrew's pony fur turned brown and he could no longer fart rainbows and all his pony friends died of cancer for some reason. Andrews mama banned Andrew from the internet because of these crap games turning Andrew emo but it was too late. The crap ass games had infected him, and soon andrew chopped off his wings and threw himself off of a tower in his magical castle and plummeted to his doom.
The End.
Btw, just so everyone knows, METALGod32 = Michael the Gamer. No lie. His Textadventure.co.uk user = Michael.
