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 -_-
All the work I've done on DB is for the community, and for myself (it's fun to do). I don't do it to win money, i don't do it to gain something to put on my resumé for a job. The thing is, doing work on DB is basically doing what you tell people to do, which is not the way I like to work (some people might, but not me).
Yes, i wish I'd come up with all the ideas myself and such, and be leading the project (I seriously think I'd've fucked up on the gameplay front by now if that was the case though, as shown by my initial reactions to the better gameplay changes early on). This isn't the case, though, and I can accept that (sometimes - the times when I don't are when I get bitchy, especially if a decision is made that I don't agree with).
I'm sure I've commented on your contributions to DB before, they're good, but I think things could be improved, especially on the PR front. I'm not entirely sure how you'd go about it but I think the changes are there to be made. This isn't supposed to be a personal attack, just some of my thoughts.
Basically, sometimes it feels as though I was only doing work on DB for someone else due to the way you (davidm) go about telling them exactly what ideas you have - being a creative person this doesn't sit well with me, and because I like to have some input and everything i suggest gets smacked down very quickly, it leaves me feeling incredibly frustrated. Again, this isn't an attack on that, because it obviously (sort of), works. I just can't handle that kind of atmosphere.
