agreed, banning me when it suits you is a little harsh, i had a disagreement with someone, albeit that person was an admin.
Let me ask you this tho, you now going to ban everyone who disagrees with you or anyone? You'll pretty much have no users left.

btw why did you lie and say you couldnt ip ban? funny how i couldnt create a new account to work while i was at work, now as soon as im home...whaddya know, success!

Damn Cata, sorry to see you go.

I hope the dimwits on the forums hounding you havn't made you turn your back on us!

I am much the same, I haven't played properly for a year, at all for two months, now I just troll here.

Hope you see the light and come back to us...

Dammit the the inventor of Gibball cannot leave us.

Good luck

I'm as sad to see Catalyst go as anyone else is, but I don't think we should go blaming DavidM for it. Catalyst has other projects to work on, and she has found a new game to play religously (XMP for those of you who don't know).

It really is that addictive

. I've given it some thought and i _might_ return to programming DB after my exams are done early january. It depends on how i feel about it then, but I'm definately giving up playing it and devoting so much time to it for a while.

/o\ no time to read this thread yet..ill do so later :<

Anyway if it's really true ur leaving (which i assume unless u've posted something on page 2 or later cancelling out ur first post) then im censerely sad

U've been my number 1 example (through db demos of matches, but also through the way u act towards the community), and u've been a great coder for what u've done (gibball is ace..and from what i hear ur improvements on db code just sound too good to be true)

I wish u good luck in the future and I hope u'll come by and play some games some times or sumthing

Have fun playing xmp ;p

I'm bound to get banned again. So be it I want to get my point across.

Well it's really sad to see Cata leave. She has done many things for us in the past 14 months. I for one am grateful for everything you have done for us. I hope you have a better time with XMP. No one is pressuring you to come back, come back and play whenever you want. If you felt like DM was pressuring you then you shouldn't be putting up with him. It would be good to see you finish 2.0, but if you don't want to, then don't.

As for DM.. This should be a lesson for you. You treat people like shit and downsize them. And you call yourself a leader? A leader actually does something for the mod besides think of it.

I can care less if DB dies; if it does then there is a legit reason for its fall. The one who created it will be the one who destroys it.

I have to agree 100% here, i have NEVER heard a "gj rens" from davidm when making Tennis and Warfare, yet they are part of db... And i seriously can't be arsed to continue working on them, tennis is as good as done but with a few bugs, might fix them someday, and warfare... if it didn't need db then i might care about it more but i have to completely remake tennis/warfare/dodgeball with every new db version because of new/remade code. (/me slaps cata

)

Anyways, i'm sorry to see you leave db but then again, i don't give a shit about db anymore, i stopped playing it weeks ago =/

Oh well, bye Cata, hi TEZC-XMP-Cata

I feel so much like motivating a person who keeps telling me what a bad game designer I am etc

Catalyst88 · Post by **Catalyst88** » 21-12-2003 19:04

You're a good designer, you just lack people skills - which can be learnt, but only if you're willing to. The same with effective PR (I'm sorry I had such a go at you but I tend to go into these bad moods sometimes). It's not just the message you put across but HOW you give the message.

Post by **DavidM** » 21-12-2003 21:48

you also must be missunderstanding something

you are not doing this for ME
its for the team and even for yourself

its not like there is anyone saying "good job davidm" either -_-

RaGe|DB · Post by **RaGe|DB** » 21-12-2003 22:03

GJ DavidM $\o/$

"Deathball Lead Designer"
surely your job is to encourage team work and motivate, not just put a "davidm" standard on everything, im not saying u dont do this, but the opinions in the post certainly suggest so.
