| Quote (the_fifth_horseman @ 01 2004 Sep.,06:45) | | Hey, when you are working on something FOR OTHERS to use, and you get no reply at all, after a while it begins to look like people decided to ignore you and your work - and when it costed you a lot of time to do, this somewhat hurts. |
Well then my friend, there is your mistake. Do not do this "FOR OTHERS". Do it because you want to. Do it because it makes you happy. Do it because you are having fun. But do not look to others to validate your efforts.
If you are not having fun and see this as a thankless job then stop. No one is forcing you to do this, walk away from it if you are not doing for you. Walk away from it if it is only bringing you anger and sadness.
The truth is TFH, people will ignore you and things you do your whole life. I know there are a lot of people who ignore and or could not care less about me and my hobbies. I do not worry about it. I validate myself. I work on what brings me joy and if on the way someone else gets something out of it, well then, so much the better.
Just an honest opinion for you to think about.

Yes, but do not do it expecting the "others" to even notice what you have done. Do it for the self gratification of having done something good.

If it is of any comfort to you... I have made a few armylists in the past.
-Exodite armylist for Net Epic -> No feedback
-Some new marine chapters -> No feedback
-Squat list for E:A -> was distributed to several people, only one gave feedback.
About your I:A I must plead quilty as charged.  My only defense is that for some reason I've recently been so mentally exhausted that I prefer to spend my free time doing something which does not require any higher brain functions. Like reading the new 40k rules, for example...

Hi!
This is a topic I feel qualified to give an opinion on, since after all I have been doing this for more than 7 years.
Feedback for anything "home grown" on the net is sporadic at best. As Mojarn has mentioned he did some stuff and no feedback. This shouldn't be construed as "disinterest" though. Since people do download the stuff, modify it and use it. They just tell you about it.
Look at my Heresy rules, it has a following, several books are in the top ten downloads of the epicentre. Now how many times you think I have gotten direct feedback over the 5 years of Heresy's exsistance?
...Perhaps twice...
Yet, I know people download and play it, they just keep to themselves.
I realize there is a large amount of satisfaction in getting feedback or a simple "hey that's great", but in the end you do a project becuase of your own enjoyment. If other enjoy it too, then thats a bonus.

Yep, having run a net newletter for Shadowrun for many years, seeing my stuff show up in other peoples games, and having received a total of two emails back taught me the same thing.
Thanks for wording it better then I did!

Okay. Seems that the compilation as it stands is just too huge for most of the folk. What if I made several separate lists for the purposes of testing and then we'd try to get them done one at a time? Could work, y'know...

Sounds like a good idea to me. If people want a compilation they can allways clip the pages together. Easy accessibility is allways a good thing.
Cheers!

I am fairly new at this but I downloaded it all. Killed my print cartrige but really wanted it.
I do not see why the whole thing isn't adopted as official. You put a lot of work into it.
It should be used as at least the basis of all the SM lists. I don't know why people have not jumped on it.
I have been trying to get someone to get interested in "Space Wolves" but the few I see want to start from scratch. I have been play testing the "wolves" a lot lately and getting killed! I have always been unlucky with dice. The last few games over 50% of my rolls have been "1's" and 1% "6". Does that give you any idea of how the two games went. LOL  ?
I am trying to work with "Lion_in_the _Stars on other site.
Any suggestions or ideas? Space Wolves is my favorite but working on several "Chapters"

WM Nice, the mini-lists are one thing, but people will still be able to get the EIA in the big single package.
Gary/Wolf, if you are willing to have a try and help in making it better, then why not. Also it sure will have a chance of impacting the official lists when they come out, and when Douglas releases the next issue of Incoming, at least part of EIA will be there as well.

Would love to be involved and try to help. 
Am in the middle of 3rd game in the last few days. SW vs UM
same list (which I am not sure about ). After getting killed on the first two games I am playing the UM this time. I wil play same list once more after this just to see what happens.
I am thinking of playing all test games vs Ultra Marines for now and at 2000 points. What do you think? The UM's are official and also SMs so it should show if it is balanced or not.
Open for ideas. The smaller cost lists would make for faster and MORE games for comparison.
Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
got to go... being called bask to finish game.
