Article: THE FLAMES OF WAR - INTERNECINE STRIFE AND DEATH OF A MOD

Located: http://www.moddb.com/mods/resident-evil-to-serve-and-protect/news/the-fate-of-retsp

People appear to complain about how long my journal entries are ("longest in the history of TWHL's journal entries) or something like that. In order to subtly point out the fact that my entries are merely just "light reading", compare to the article above, which basically is about a dude ranting about how a beloved mod had died and was forcibly taken from him.
And believe me he has alot of pent-up energies to let out.

If you actually read the whole thing like I did, then you might as well scroll down and read some more: the comments, which offer alternative interpretations of what may actually have happened and expose possible biases that the narrator had. Despite what you may have thought before, the Half-life community is still well-stocked with drama of this sort.

NOTE: Please do not fan the flame war there on this here website. I don't know anything about that mod.

It's incredibly ironic that in the first paragraph he tells you he's saving everyone a lot of time. I can't think of anything more contradictory.

I was almost going to give up reading it when I got about halfway down the web page, but then found that I was almost finished with the article, and on to the comment section.

Sounds confusing to me, I'm not even going to try and make sense of it. Not until I have a bit more sleep.

Oh, and I'm really sorry for nitpicking, but use the [url] and [/url] tags so people dont have to copy paste the url. Just tryin to help.

Don't take the "ZOMG TLDR" comments too seriously. If it needs to be long, so be it. :>

I read that all. It's interesting. It proves that a team leader has to be severe, and internet based teams have less changes of completing a project than a team with a ...space dedicated to the project.

Striker, it sounds like the leader was a major douche if you read the comments. Not a single person agreed with his recounting.

Apparently it happens to every mod worth its salt.
