Quitting From The Stress
Posted: 10/24/2009 21:45 by Modder_El_GrandeComments: 2
I have officially come out of hospital as Electrical Blaster may have told you all and though I wish to carry my hobby on, the stress it has caused me is too great.

Capital Omega (another of my second-in-commands) has been no help what-so-bloody-ever he's been saying that it's a lie, though I believe he half-knows that it's really true and that he doesn't know the full story, his position as a second-in-command in the ElGrande Modding Team is in jeopardy because of some of his actions related to this matter.

I do not wish to tell how it began, but the conflict that I was in has ended, but at a great price. Though most of the blame during the conflict was mine some of the people on other websites have driven me to this unexpected avenue of action. Luckily, it did not spread to some modding sites such as Strategy Informer, Spellhold Studios and File Planet. I have made several mods including one in the making at the moment.

I pass my honor down to Electrical Blaster and Capital Omega, though I may have stopped modding, my work will still live on and I will still help out so you may very well see me in the credits.

I would also like to apologise to all the people I wronged during the conflict, especially all those on the Canadian Ice forums. However before I draw this to a close I would like to comment on one thing.

I am sick of getting e-mails saying what comments I've posted on YouTube and what I'm doing on Gaire. ModderElGrande15 on YouTube and the ModderElGrande on Gaire are not the same people (or same person) as me. I do not consort with commenting on YouTube or Gaire which I think is a dating site or soemthing like that.

Also, my downloads for my mods have been slowed to the point that my download count has stunted. I have come to two conclusions, the first which is the most unfortunate and the most likely is because of my deeds in the past, my second conclusion which is less likely is that people have found alternative mods which are better than mine, either way, I'll find out why this is happening.

I am open to any comments to this blog entry as long as it's not abusive, I understand that many believe my story is false including Capital Omega, one of my second-in-commands of the ElGrande Modding Team. But my words are true despite it sounding like an utter lie.

Thank you for reading...

Note When Commenting: I will delete any abuse, spam or flames if I find any.

PS: If anyone wants to know the full story then I'm afraid about 95% of the evidence of the crisis has been deleted or lost. There are very few sources of information left.

EDIT -- I have now decided to restart modding. See my newer blog entry "Back In The Business" for more info.

Here's a link to it.

Mate, I obviously don't know the full story, but I can kind of guess what the end result was. I know from experience that being a Modder or member of a Modding team can easily carry with it the same stresses and burdens that employed games developers are under (mores so) - except they are paid and supported by a company.
So don't think you will find too much disbelief in the modding community, as cutthroat as it is. I hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to good health soon.
If it is having real life consequences, it just isn't worth it. Stay safe.

Thanks Herodotus, you are the first person to actually be understanding over this matter and have sympathy, as well as give me advice, well, the first person who isn't in my modding team. If I was to count people in my modding team, then Electrical Blaster would be the first understanding person.

Every other person on other sites have just said stuff like "What the fuck is your problem!? Spreading lies like that." and other abusive and malicious comments like that but it is a hard story to believe, not matter how true it may be. In fact, Electrical Blaster even reports that I've been banned from the Canadian Ice forums for it, obviously they thought I was talking bull-shit.

Thanks Herodotus, you've shown me hope and I'll never forget this, who knows, maybe if I get enough comments like yours, I may start modding once again...
