@Brett : This is a great news - And I'm very happy At the moment there is notyhing much to do in the NMA just preliminary management admin and I'm prepareing to give a powerful reply to the Nexus here : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1305 The Nexus guys are a bit to much agressive in my view - not to mention arogants. Still I do hope to defeat them in this NMA vision debate ... their first error is that they accepted my ideological battlefield location and they don't know that I had many debates like this in the past with the TTO - so for me its a "dejavu" (or how its spelled). @Ghostly : Are you still upset with the deletion issue - loll - don't be - Its true that you upseted me then but your motives were good so your recieved a symbolic punishment not to mention that you are the onl;y member with admin powers. So do consider that we have a lot of trust in you and we see you as a part of the family As for Fosh - he worries me a lot - I will probably advaice Ismael to never make him a moderator again. And you and I need to communicate better

Moved to the bar

Wow Joe ! Welcome back ! Its nice to see you here again Also nice new tactic - still I will totally choose a different approach to the issue at hand. You are takeing too much damage to early. In the end its all about firepower time management. I will concentrate to stay out of the MC's range as much as possible and take out the X-Wing first and then the Y-Wings. Also some interviews about PC EAW say that you can you costumize the weapons on your ships - so I will always have a lot of AAs on. So anyway the power of the rebels is in the fighters so i will always try to take them out first.

I think that DMUK's site is the coolest site at this hour in the EAW community. I know he has invested a lot of time in it and it has payed off. We are just a forum so sometimes I use DMUK site for downloading eaw stuff. DMUK I think that we didn't affiliate PFF with .NET - but you have a link to us so pls. add a link to you here : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=964 Keep up the good work.

Project moved to the Maw until a hidden section will be made.

Nobody will sue noone. You can't sue a mod since you can't target its creators not to mention that we don't make money out of it ... etc. Not to mention that once a mod is out there is no way you can stop it from spreading. In the end you have nothing to loose only to gain some publicity. We will take anyway all the precautions necessary to avoid any problems.

MyZrael was one of the original forum creators He is a friend of mine and a fine 2D/3D artist. He has been shadowing the forums until now. He is also a member of the NMA (our moding team).

And the good thing is that you only need to take the units out of starcraft and improve them for EAW Most of the work will go into new animations and new souds & voives. Basically you guys will port Starcraft for EAW. Super cool. So what will be the human vs protos story ? If you add some zerg troops scattered as neutrals and no playeble factions then ...? It will be a great mod in the end

Hey - nice to see ya here So what will be the story of the Mod since you only have two major factions for the start ? Human vs Protos ? And some scattered zerlings ?

Wow - a starcraft mod cool You are in Welcome to the NMA. I think I have the right person for you to make ya models and such. Try PMing MyZrael. Got to run now.

The Nevada Moding Association is also known as Area 51 Moding Association. (The name is not fully settled between NMA and AMA). NMA is a moding organization that can trace its origins in the old RDB II mod group on SWR and the TTO on TWC and we will cover all the Petroglyph games from EAW to P-02. The main goals of NMA are to offer to the moder : -Better management for the mod production -More human and know-how resources available for a moder -Better communication and cooperation between moders -Better moding tools (developed by the NMA) -Better publicity for the NMA mods -Excellent relations with the developers (that will give high quality feedback for projects) -People from the game industry will be involved (unofficially) in the management of NMA -Better relations between the EAW sites and EAW moders. -The NMA will be a quality trademark that will ensure that the respective mod had our QA approval and will run superbly on the gamers PCs. -Better credits systems and training that will ensure an increased value on a CV when a moder will apply for a job in the game industry. (*I did it) -Improved level 1 and 2 moding training that will help moders to better assimilate the ways of the gaming industry. (*The goals can be revised and improved) We want to have much more than a simple classic moding group. We want to have a flexible organization that is dedicated in helping moders to improve them self and evolve but in the same time we want to create new moders. The NMA has these departments: 1. Management 2. Production 3. Development 4. Mod design 5. QA 6. PR 7. Level 2 training Area 8. Level 1 training Area 9. NMA Enclaves The NMA is in the end a publisher of mods and it is designed to be more efficient than the standard moding group. There are many things that I could add here and I will probably do it in the next days when I will have more time. Until then I do consider this topic open to debate but only in a constructive way. Btw the NMA is open to any mods and to any merge with other moding groups that share the same goals with us. I wish personally wish that one day the NMA will be officially present at E3 to show off quallity mods and to be partially supported by LEC and the Devs. I also want to see many moders from the NMA getting jobs in the game industry. This is how far the vision of the NMA goes.

Fosh ...what can I say - you confused the heck out of me. I will personally follow all of your actions and try to see if all this was really a mistake. Until then you fate will stay with Ismael.

Siddus we do try to find solutions to this problems : We are faced with spammers and some of the moderators decide to leave and feel happy with the "Exodus begins stuff". Loosing some of our important people due to spammers that were too much for them really pisses me of. We will not make a new GD. We will ban any spammer that fails to comply with the first warning.

Btw if someone has a new spammer to report - pls. PM me. We don't like spammers ! (If you have a spam posting style then use the bar subforum)

Ok Ghostly don't worry about spammers. We do have now a "shoot to kill" policy - so if they do not folow our style - ban them. Just let me know before you do it. Thanks BTW did you reinstated Fosh and Juggernaut1985 as moderators ? Fosh positions and loiality its pretty strange. If he decides to harm the forum - then what ? This hole actions as : " I'm going to Nexus , I'm going away , I will be a shadow , I'm back " etc really upsets me and make me doubt Fosh a lot. Fosh will not be a moderator until Ismael takes a decission.

Ok guys ... I am chating with Ismael about your replys here and I will let him take a decission. Thank you for your support.

Hello all, PFF recruits 4 new moderators. Even if our existing list is even now quite long many of them are people from petroglyph or site admins working with other game companies etc (generally busy people). We do need more man power to keep these forums clean and well taken care off. If you know that you have what it takes pls. submit your application here with a reply and PM me so I will forward it to the rest of the team and we will vote in private who will be the 4 new moderators. Thank you all and enjoy your time, PFF Admin

Hello all, We had some problems lately with some spammers who disturbed our peaceful way of life here at Petroglyph Forums. They have been warned multiple times and they refused to act accordingly and improve them self. We never intended to ban people who spam since nobody is perfect but their actions have affected our moderator's team - their spamming upseted some of our moderators who decided to give up and abandon their duty as moderators of PFF. http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1274 So after seeing all this I here now declare that the following members are banned and they will be banned again if they return here under a different name: Megajames Jmaster3265 Eduardo May the Force be with you all.

Btw Ghostly what heppened to you ? Are you going with Fosh ?

Ok Ghostly as you wish. To see Delphi's posts look at his profile.

I think that in the end we will have to create another GD. One were you need permisssion. I've seen this before - a subforum were you need permission to post. It seems to be the only solution at this time. As for the sticky topics that should not be sticky well that should no longer happen now. Anyway Fosh - you still get me rung - but of course if you need time to "cool down" its ok. When you will return you will welcomed back to your old job with open arms. The so called problems betwen the NMA and Nexus are not actually problems but much more a need to know each other. .... Ok I need to know how we should name the special new elite GD forum ?

Moved to the previews forum - too old FAQ.

Its ok I was going in a hurry over the topics so I missed that - you may consider your self back to the old rank You have admin powers so pls. edit your self back - it was anyway a simbolic punishment

Ok - all the Moderators have for now a "shoot to kill" license for all new replys or topics made from this day on. 1. The first shooting of one's reply will have to be followed by a PM warning that member of spam. 2. If he persists the second will aim multiple replies spammed by that user but with no warning. 3. If he is still doing it then (Next week) he will be disabled from posting. 4. The only area when the moderators can relax their weapons is the Bar area. 5. If a whole topic is spam nonsense you could move it to the bar by force and left no trail of it in the original forum. Lets keep it clean gentlemen - good hunting!

We do have two solution to face this problem: One to create a special GD forum were you can post only if you have been approved to do so.... something like a club. And give free hand to the moders to "shoot to kill" any spammers. Ghostly pls. improve my two ideeas and make a poll - if they pass the vote then we will do it.
