Title: Bye
Post by: kalan_vod on December 10, 2006, 11:00:00 am
I am reluctant to post this here, but it seems to be easier than to msg it to those I care about. Well I have been rude as some would call it, and it seems that the attack I made with the statement about "real men use their own routines" being sarcasm (as necro was the only one who saw it truly as that).

@Elfprince: I don't hate you, I admire you and your work. I how ever dis like how you and kerm (and some other of his friends/followers) feel that you are a elite group (just my opinion). What exactly is enhanced about adding DCS to a basic game? A icon? Exactly what is so enhanced about that? Good luck and have fun, I know you will do something amazing and prove many like me wrong.

@Kerm: I think you are trying to do something amazing, and I think you are on the right track. I have a few tiffs about you, but that is my own problem and not yours. Anyways, good luck and I know DCS will be a hit.

@Kevin: I will miss you mostly, but sorry I have come to my late state of rudeness. I see removing myself from Omnimaga would best suite that, making people upset.

@Everyone else: Thanks for being their for me, and everything that makes you you.

Bye.

Bye.  :(sad.gif

But hold on - you dislike Elfprince because he likes DoorsCS?  Maybe you need to elaborate more because that doesn't seem like a good reason to dislike somebody.

And you're leaving because of the way people responded to your comment?  Remember that time at MaxCoderz when somebody critizied your Fall Down Ripoff game and you didn't like it?  The same thing is going on, except this time you are the one critisizing.  I don't think anybody hates you - it's just that some people didn't like your comment.  This is no reason to leave (in my opinion, but people are different).  If you expect everybody else to withstand your comments, you should be able to withstand their reactions (don't take this to harsly, please).  

I hope you don't dislike me or hate me after reading this, but I just don't think this is a good reason.  You're a good guy and a good programmer, and I don't want to make you mad or cause you any grief.

If you really want to leave, then that's OK.  :)smile.gif  But understand that I don't think that anybody wants you to leave and we'll miss you.

Hi kalan, I would like to talk to you as soon as possible on AIM or IRC, preferably before 10 PM of your timezone (which should be 11 PM of mine), thanks.

In the meantime I would like to let you know I do not want you to leave (or have to leave) Omnimaga. I was kinda confused by your leaving post, because it sounded to me like some kind of apology, and to me, an apology means you are sorry about making the ppl upset. I don't know if you meant to be rude intentionally, but if you leave, no one will ever get the chance to know, and lot of people will miss you here. I think you should stay with us, I will be very sad if you leave, and I dunno if I'll stay. Before reading this topic I was starting working on a 3D racing game using xLIB, I had the entire engine complete, despite of a few bugs, and when I seen this thread, I deleted the entire game from my calc as well as xlib, omnicalc and mirageOs, so much i was sad to see you go. I wish you would come back, and i don't think the people who are upset want you to leave, in fact some may be worried atm that you are feelin upset, like me.

Anyway please do this for me, reconsider leaving, and come on AIM asap, preferably this evening, or tomorrow/tue/wed morning (since it will be the only time i am on). you have always been one of the nicest person on this forum and one of those who helped others the most, and we understand that you may go through some events that make you upset and irritated. Me, necro and halifax agreed that everything past your comment we thought that was rude (but wasnt meant to be) in Massacre thread will be deleted, and I am gonna do so with my comment in the strategic conquest thread, as it is untrue. Also if you feel upset about something or have some issue you would like to talk about about anything feel free to do so, I will be very happy to listen :(sad.gif

 Are you talking about the B31337 here? Perhaps you misunderstand the purpose, it is to encourage and promote quality programming, and are always trying to get people we feel to be good TI-Basic coders to join.

As for the DCS thing, first you are aware that StratCon is in fact in Asm correct?

second off, DCS not only allows you to add icons to Basic programs, it also allows you to specify which programs are subroutines and hide them from the display, and automatically archive/unarchive a list of requested subroutines at the beginning of a program.

Im glad you don't hate me as Ive always respected you as an excellent coder, and except for the last few days ive thought of you as being a very kind, thoughtful person (a position which with this post you have regained).

Kalan: farewell.  I'm happy to hear that you don't hate me completely after all; I wish you luck in your endeavors, and hope I manage to live up to your expectations.

Kevin I am sorry that you are upset by my decsion and I wish the choices I make didn't effect you, I am making this short as I am holding back a lot of angry hurtful comments (not of you).

Please reconsider kalan. Everyone makes mistakes in life, and this shouldn't be a reason for leaving like this. I want you to promise me that you'll be back someday, even if in one week, one month. :(sad.gif

If you really, truly need to leave, I understand, but there's no need to leave over a feud about Basic 1337ness and  DCS6. Please stay.

I agree there (and I think a lot of members/possible members because of the site closing).

Well, I'm disappointed I didn't see this sooner, but in case he checks here again:

Kalan, you're a very good programmer and from what i've seen and heard, you're also very kind. Its a shame to see you go, but if you feel its best, then go for it. I hope to see you around on HRP and other places (unless you're withdrawing from the community altogether). Well, see ya later mate.

kalan: you're an awesome guy.  Regardless of what you choose to do, I at the very least will remember you as an important member of the ti community.

 I agree... It could potentially drive other people to leave too.

Post by: necro on December 11, 2006, 07:30:00 pm
um, if only staff can post/see the forum, how could he come back anyways?  And though I realy hope he does come back, it almost seems unfair to all the who had nothing to do with the incident.  Most of all, I hope kevin doesn't get upset at himself for doing this...

So, to kevin, I don't think this is helping and be that as it may, there is nothing to be gained by regreting if indeed you would do so.

To kalan (whom might not be able to see this), I hope you will come back, and missunderstandings like this are best served as learning points.  I can't see much reason to go, and in the future, if there is a misunderstanding, just explain yourself instead of getting yourself offended or feeling bad about it

I've reopened the site now, i dunno if he'll come back tho

Post by: spengo on December 12, 2006, 07:36:00 am
Mmm... I think we should let kalan do what he wants. There isn't really anything new about this either--he's been unofficially gone for months now. Had trouble with school and stuff and needed to concentrate on things other than calculator programming. :)smile.gif

Anyways, good to see the forums back up, and bye kalan! see ya on the flip side. Go pwn stuff and become uber-1337. :thumb:thumb.gif
