No, because a private discussion instantly breeds irrefutable doubt over whether the agreements are truly fair, thus the whole proceedings must be public, in a thread like this one.

I have my reservations about certain members of TT, but its not really relevant to this. I think the Jelly community was reasonable at times. (Raven for example) But everyone reacts different, and IMO, you went about this wrongly. Thus provoking bad reactions.

A private discussion would have sorted an amicable solution. But all this had done is distance a sizeable chunk of the renegade community away from the rest.

Excuse me, but I get a "bad reaction" from the Jelly community no matter what I do. For example, saying "actually no I haven't cheated" in response to two moderators publicly asserting that I did (or two and a quarter if you count joetorp) provoked the same kind of vitriol we see in this thread.

Secondly, as I've said, the fact the a00 names have always been dealt with through shady deals behind closed doors is precisely the problem in the first place.

Really? What you wrote was not only humorous, but shows respect for the history and tradition of these forums. I'd call it borderline blasphemous to compare anything that's been posted so far in this thread to the I DESLIKE YOU.

I'm not saying you don't, what I meant was that you were going to get a bad reaction for doing it. Surely you couldn't have expected anything different?

My other point still stands, all this has done is distance one community away from the rest. Over something which becomes IRRELEVANT when the team you are part of, finishes their work.

Was there really any need for this?

you say nothing about the appalling way i've been treated by the jelly community despite absolutely no provocation, but you criticise me for... um, what, exactly? "you should have expected it"? well, i did expect more of the same, but i say what i think... and the consequences of other people's intolerance to dissenting opinion can, in my view, go fuck themselves. i'm not terribly sorry to tell you that you're being manipulated.

Woah! I wasn't in any way criticising you. And in no way would i be manipulated over issues within a game. I am in by no means defending the Jelly community, i'm just raising a few points. Reasoned debate and all that?

So you're okay with fracturing the already small renegade community?

But i have to say you avoided the main point of the post. The one about the server names becoming irrelevant when TT completes the patch?

I have a feeling that the 'interim period' (from now until the TT push by EA) will be more important than most of us think, which would explain why Spoony started this.

It depends on how long this interim period is going to be, surely?

Do we even have an estimate on when the patch will be done?( i haven't seen one)

I have no reasons to believe we'll see anything TT related before 2010...

If there was a possible resolution before the release of TT it would be preferable.

Jelly left the thread, citing some form of personal attack by Spoony (Check page 13-14 I think). He actually requested that I remove his account from these forums, it is neither policy, nor am I able to do that, so I haven't, but it's quite clear he doesn't care, which is a pity.

Why would someone hand this power over from a person who, as you stated, has never abused it before to a team that contains a few people who have proven their self not to be trustworthy at all, in the past. A person who deletes her own topics questioning this same matter where obviously all of the replies vote against her, or someone who has always been supported by the Jellycomm but decided to suddenly change his mind and backstab the community for it contains a few people who disagree with his opinion.
Im not saying TT is bad or can't be trusted, not even close, it contains several close friends who I do honor for all their efforts for the community.
I just find it a hard decision giving these nicknames to a group that contains a few people of who I think, can't handle the power. Especially when they currently remain in the hands of someone who I would trust with my most valuable belongings.

Considering the EA support argument, we both know EA couldn't care less about Westwood's old stuff. Of course they will welcome the first group with open arms who offer support to a game that is bleeding to death. I do not really consider that trustworthy.

F.Y.I. This is not meant as hate towards TT. Like I said, TT contains several friends who I believe are really using TT as the right way to fight for the existence of Renegade and are not power-happy or anything like that. I really hope they keep up the excellent work they have put in the renegade community so far.

Then, as I've already stated, give them to someone neutral, for example, (although by the very fact I've been moderating this topic, not me) myself, as if there would be any bias, it would be back towards Jelly.

like i said, if TT handled it we'd handle it responsibly and with transparency.

i don't think you could possibly have gotten the situation any more wrong than this sentence.

excuse me, but no. they don't give away authority like control over a game's patcher lightly. it is true they don't care about renegade as much as they should, but that doesn't follow from this.
