I mean, whoever that demented was, who put on-line that stuff, surely has
gone through more crap talks than the Geneva convention would permit against
a POW. If someone has a fetish for trash treatment, it'd be a nicer idea to
open a recylce facility!
Some guys should really get a life and get laid. This is a clear-cut case of

Too late. I just saved it to my hard drive!
I didn't post it but I've got to say whoever did - AMEN!
'terminated' - you're such an officious sounding moron at that...

If it wasn't for the fact that you're drawing attention to the site,
no one would have known it existed in the first place. How did you
manage to stumble onto this in the first place?

Referrer info.
The thing that flagged my attention was the wildstar in the URL.
Oh well. I figured you guys already knew of it. I didn't think it was a

Anyway, I guess - I'll just leave the guys alone besides when looking at it
when
stripped out of original context - it is quite funny while personally
insulting.

Oops. :-)
Oh well. I was simply hoping the culprit would at least notify
himself/herself.
Then I can at least get some facts on the basis of this site. I may just let
him

site.

Well, I recalled games and other programs that did have such combos as
ALT+F4 that did other things than close the program. I think when I was
writing - "Isn't that suppose to disconnect me from the chat session" - I
was writing in response to someone else's message earlier.
When you look at it as above, it is QUITE hilarious if you look at it but
sometime messages passes through while I am writing to another person and I
wasn't reading that part yet.
Ok, I rarely use Alt+F4 but I do recall programs that does do such key
combos like that and it does something else. The folly on me is trusting
MagerValp. I should have trusted my gut and not trust MagerValp. :-)
MagerValp, no more trust from me. I'll get a second opinion.
You won't be my trusty doctor. :-))

I doubt that you have a leg to stand on. Quotations of what you say, or
write, in public, are legal, regardless of whether they are in or out of
context.
If out of context quotations were illegal, do you have any idea how many
lawsuits Kerry could file against Bush? Or, for that matter, how many Bush
could file against Kerry?

A quote from the website in question:
[Rick wrote]
"The Ops simply almost had me heading to Europe with trusty sledgehammer."
What do you intend to do with your sledgehammer when you get there Rick?
Just curious...
BTW, you will need to go by ship. They don't let people with
sledgehammers on airplanes these days. They might go berserk and break down
the cockpit door.

Ok, you can imagine because if I had to take a boat to Europe, I be one
unhappy dude.
First of all, the op or whoever simply ban me without provocation and since
they haven't made any statements to me about their reasons - I won't be
liking those individuals. The excuse that was relayed is merely an excuse
and thats fine but they should have the decent respect to tell me about it.
Alright Sam, I'll leave the fellow alone. But I would at least want to know

Rick Balkins
You need to get some facts together.
If this is the case and you will continue this drek - NO further news will
be publish about CS Doom except through Robert Bernardo and Allan Bairstow.
Again, some fundamental misunderstanding that you do show is that you did
not understand the message about the potential title splash screens. They
are actually in .fp2 files for Commodore and were originally sourced from
actual Doom screens converted over using Congo. Ok. They will represent a
visually similar image to what it would be seen on the actual Commodore
screen.
Get your facts straight.
As for the 23-27% figure. How can you give a "percentile" on coding ? Its
subjective and doesn't represent time itself and and alterations that may
take place in the future that can either accelerate or delay a segment of
the project.
Sorry, percentile doesn't exactly work except for when there is a constant.
That is why it was tough to give a clear percentile. It is too arbitrary but
if someone wants to tell me the formula for this - it'll be great. To me,
percentile on code is arbitrary and not a good unit of measurement of
progress except for the amount of time.
Estimates are estimates and I gave the answer with flucuation factor.

You are right on that, Sam. I don't know about American law, but, albeit
there is no copyright infringement, in Italy such an homepage could be
targeted by a full fledged law action, because those quotes have been
intentionally used to defamate and disgrace Rick Balkins - and that's
against the law, here.

Again, I don't know about American laws, but here you just can't compare the
common citizen to the politician who, on the contrary, benefits of special
immunity on freedom of speech and other form of law bonuses.
This said, I hope somewhere else is different, because nobody should be
above the law, expecially politicians...
Back to the topic, I think who put together that homepage has wasted a lot
of time kicking a disabled, rather doing something more profitable. And
that's quite sad.

Well, the link to the #c64friends chat transcripts lets you find your own.
There was a classic Wildstar line from the chat this past Saturday,
unfortunately it was after Snogpitch had left, so it wasn't recorded.
Someone> Rick, are you at least 25% done CSDOOM64? If not, you might have
trouble meeting the deadline.

I know for a fact that the "FTHA" is actually an ongoing joke pertaining
to a certain Hiraghm quote referring to me. (Which is still quite funny
I might add - All thanks to Hiraghm for the hilarity.) However, I am
sad to report, I am not the author of this site.
I do actually support a site like this, since it makes a good record of
ridiculous things said by Wildstar. Here are some suggestions I have
for the anonymous author/webmaster:
* Allow people to submit quotes online. Include fields for the Quote,
Date, and source, perhaps other backing references so people can look up
the context themselves. (which rarely, if ever, changes anything.)
* Please put up a list of all the in-progress WildStar projects - and
any known status and/or dates if possible.
* If at ALL possible allow us all to vote on our favorite W* quotes.

You know what I find it really sad, guys? Balkins surely hasn't grown up,
but neither most of you have. It's clear this guy is not... Let's say
"normal fashioned". Is it that fun to "kick a disabled"?
There's clearly something wrong with him. But... Inflicting him with
ostracism and such severe derision will not help him or cut short his
blabbering, prolly it will only worsen the situation.
If there's some dude who believes W* will really leave the Commodore scene
due to such half-hearted personal attacks, he's got shit for brains. Come

If you like that kind of "village idiot" popularity, then let it be, dude.

The best course of action is get projects done and distribute them
and of course work out things out with those that are angry with me
lately.
I could possibly with the hosting company abuse department but I'll be
letting it be for now. The amount of work dealing with this vs. work on
software development is what I am weighing judgement on.
In the meantime, I rather limit news posts on CS-Doom-C64 to a special group
which would be authorized to post news updates to the public. This is all I
can
see so far that I can do effectively. Sorry, this may make it harder for
daily news
on the CS-Doom-C64 but as of right now - there isn't any daily news. I may
change decisions on this at a later time.

OK, here's an offer that I think the owner of that webpage would
accept:
If Rick promises to not post one single message to usenet or any of
the mailing lists until he has completed, or at least made good,
verifiable progress to one of his promised projects, the site will go
away.
How about it, Rick? Considering that Doom is 23-27% done, it shouldn't
be more than a few weeks until you have the 3D engine up and running.
And not posting while you have no news to share doesn't seem too
harsh.
Now, the site isn't mine, and the owner doesn't have usenet access,
but I think I dare to make this promise for him.

Rick, be a smart guy and don't blow away this chance. Again, it's a friendly
advice.
Make *your own* Yahoo! group ( it's free! ) or *your own* mailing-list about
your projects and let those interested in your daily updates subscribe
there, rather than flooding other people's places. You can even start a
newsgroup of your own in the free.* hierarchy.
As you see, there are a lot of places where discussions about your project
could be hosted and where it would be more appropriate than here to discuss
about it. You can advertise these initiatives of yours on your homepage(s),
I am sure those interested in your projects already check those places
regularly, no need to post here about it.

I remember several months ago, someone sugguested that a collection of
Balkinsisms(sp?) be compiled and placed on a web site, so that Rick's wisdom
;-) could be shared with the world. Looks like someone had a few extra hours
on their hands and did just that.
There is a lesson to be learned from this.
1. Be careful what you type, for your words can come back to haunt you.
Speaking of haunts, that website was just in time for Halloween!
2. Place brain in gear _before_ typing (or at least before hitting the send
button!).

I done these Yahoo! group things and it sucks. It is why I am not going to
deal with that.
All I got was a scaryingly low number of people.

I haven't disagreed or made a direct acceptance yet. I have taken note of
MagerValp's statement. I will limit in the meantime posts on mailing lists
like C-One to asking specific questions about the C-One that I would need
answers to. Is that fair, MagerValp ?

exactly what I was going to say.
Little else will help. I don't believe the legal action or takedown
notice will do much, as sites can be mirrored faster than you can worry
about them.
Frame that quote, Rick. In this case, the best solution is to simply
make good on your ideas, and move on.

How can it be slander when the person is simply archiving publically
available quotes that you have made ? Or are you gonna try & pursue other

quotationing portions and re-interpreting it and taking statements out of
context.
Taking sequences of text and then re-defining what I said. Also the IRC Chat
log is quoting my text in reference to people I am responding to.
Well, I already posted that I will leave the site be for now. In the
meantime, do please follow the whole IRC Chat log source and maybe you will
get it. Also some of my messages he quoted were intentional jokes or
sarcasm. So yeah, they are silly and worth a laugh to.
Taking the message out of its context and re-interpreting them does fall in
line of slander and intentional defamation.

Actually Lance is right the statements have to be untrue. In this case
they are all true and context can be found easily by anyone who wishes
to search through suenet for it.
Also, you're assuming that the person who authors the site is in the
United States. You'd have a tough time suing someone in another
country, especially since the case is so weak.
Here are some links to a U.S. legal dictionary defining slander,
defamation, and libel. The important thing to note is that in each some
untruth must be stated - it says nothing of context.

Rick, the best way to deal with this is to stop saying stupid things.
The best way for you to stop saying stupid things is for you to stop
posting completely.

Well, there is something other actions than lawsuit that I can do. An action
that I could take, just mean me reporting to the webhost a violation of
their policy. This would fall under defamation. It is typically a violation
of webhost policies to develop websites just to defame and insult someone.
Since webhosts do not want such responsibilities.
Now, as I said at this time - I am leaving them be.

Well, that is a point. Don't you think he is putting too much of his/her
time into making this site ?
So I guess I'll let him have his fun.
To make an official note to the webmaster of wildstar.hollosite.com - I
cancel the order to cease this site's operations. I will keep an eye on this
site though. Do note, don't reinterpret what I say. If you are going to
quote me, do make clear that your opinions are your opinion and not
necassarily what I meant by the words I say. It is often not what you might
think. If you or anyone want clarification - please contact me as it was my
words but please be polite.
Call this a demand for fair play and keep it above the belt. I think it is
fair to make that a fair statement. Your opinions are yours so let me make
it clear that if you noted that more, I would be less on you about it. As
your audience would know that you are speaking from your opinion and not
claiming that it is factual or is what I meant. It is true that I may choose
a word that does not seem to be the best choice of words at times. There is
also reasons why I say some things the way they are. You might think it is
crap but hey.

That took him all of 20 minutes. I bet you have spent more time than
that *today* posting bullshit in C= forums.

So you'd rather keep a site declaring you as a blithering idiot on the
web, than stop posting bullshit for a few weeks and actually producing
something. I guess you weren't planning on doing anything anyway.
Interesting DOOM screenshots by the way, they look like ass. You can't
even code the display routine needed to show that graphics on the
screen though, so why did you bother?

It's not like adding context makes you look any less of an idiot
though.

Just use an IFLI viewer routine. Shit. It just doesn't view on the website
via web-browsers on Windows. I'm not writing that. You can do that.
Consider the original which I'll post on the site later this month.
I'll keep quiet for a few weeks then. I'll be at IRC though.
BTW: Do I have any reasons to trust your word ?
Ryan Sherwood
> BTW: Do I have any reasons to trust your word ?
Uh, his word as what? A programmer? He's done _a lot_ for the Commodore
community. He even answered a silly question (which I'm sure he's been
asked several times by people) which had to do with CGTerm for me a
while back. Without a lot of senseless blather. Short and straight to
the point.
Show us one iota of programming skill, some small indication that you
have taken Jim Brain's advice to heart after _agreeing_ to in IRC...
have you got that X1541 cable built so you can transfer code over yet?
You said you would.
You know, I try to be reasonable and understand where people are coming
from - most of the time. You're trying my patience.

Perhaps but what can you F***ing expect. The original image was 16/24 Bit
graphics. I had to scale down and then drop to 8 or 16 Bit and then convert
to C= 4 bit. It doesn't help when there is such a limited shades of red on a
VIC-II. It would look alot better on a C-1 or a C64DTV which both have
increased graphics capability. Secondly, this is just the raw conversion and
no manual pixel editing after conversion.
I think for the conversion, it looks pretty damn good and the soldier guy
had reasonable skin tone and and was even dipictable on the screen and
wasn't too pixelated. If you determine it to look like crap, then you might
say it is safe to say all C= graphics generally looks like crap because you
are trying to compare this to literally to the PC level of graphics. Now,
personally, I think it looks pretty decent so far. This is to give some
level of idea of what the title may look like. It could perhaps be improved
but I'll have to do pixel editing but let me point things out, I'm not a
IFLI graphician and never claimed to be that. A graphician could be helpful
but I'll ask for them when it comes to doing some things.
Now, I would be happy to see a graphician improve these. This is different.
Heck, it looks better than some of the old C= games.

those files.
The X1541 still need to be worked on. Some little cash matters delayed
purchase of an XE1541 so I don't have to tear apart the cable and redo the
wires.
In the meantime, you want an iota. Start you with ASM.
*=$0800;
SEI;
LOOP LDX #$00;
LOOPX LDY #$00;
LOOPY INC $D020;
INY;
CPY #$85;
BNE LOOPY;
INX;
CPX #$85;
BNE LOOPX;
LDA $DC01;
CMP #$EF;
BNE LOOP;
RTS;
Something simple and quick to type.

That would be nice. I'm more interested (and capable) in taking a look
at the BASIC files than the ML stuff you present later on. I told you
many many times I only am really comfortable with BASIC, and even then
I'm not some super-coder.

Understandable. </gruff>

Errr... I'll snip that and take a look at it in Kate, with 6502Asm
syntax checking turned on... and dig out my copy of Mapping the C64...
see if I can figure out what it's doing... no hints. :)
Did you get 6510 assembly mixed up with C for a moment? What's with all
the ; usage?
It'll give me good practice here. Hmm, I notice some LDA and BNE usage
here. ;)

Well, I'll check that over but it depends on the assembler. I seen varying
amounts of ';' in Assembly code written for different Assemblers even though
they all are 65xx. That is one thing that isn't exactly the same in all the
assembly that I seen. It is why it is kinda difficult. Some of the ';' may
be omitted. I haven't looked at Kate so it might be worth adjusting it if
need be.
I would say it depends on the assembler.
Try it without the ';' and see it it works fine.
