by "own" I ment - "owe" ! Loll Fosh - you over react - You should have knwon me better We do not assimilate the Nexus - I said merge - a merging is a pretty honorable action and involves both sides. When I said assimilation in the past I was refering to Mods only and it means in my view : Total communication and total help and shareing. Just this

You will all be informed in the near future - we are still in the procces of building it.

I think someone who has a bit more time should add the LEC info from their faq too and stick it back in the GD while remouveing the 1.2

We do have many more chances than ever before to get the help we need - I'm sure that we will succed.

Katran you don't actualy need to invest to much effort since you can't anyway - you don't have the time. You will only look at the big picture and give an indication here and there. We will have detailed raports so you will be able to look at those to help you see the parts of the work picture that you will not have time to see. Ok maybe Lead Producer is too involving - how about the title of : Production Executive so you will be abouve all the Senior Producers and the Lead Producers (*We will cover many mods so why not have those ranks too ?!). You will be final consultant and ultimate judge in management or know-how matters&issues that all the rest of us togehter can't figure out. You helped me so much to get industry so I want this kids to get the same chance to be inspired by you and your presence. Now that I'm thinking more .... It is a real fact that your presence will motivate them to learn more and do better. I want to make the NMA a good place were you can prepare&educate your self before applying for a job in the industry. So what do you say ? Can we have your presence in the NMA ? even if you can be there only 1 hour a week it will still be more than enough to help this kids Pls. Master Katran I am still your apprentice - but I've becomed a jedi - lets help others become jedis as well

Its ok - but next time even if it is a simple reply - delete everything that you see is criticizing by mistake our hard work and accomplishments. LEC has the only authority to release news - Delphi PG is actually doing us a favor. Keep up the good work - got to run.

Btw I've been contacted by the Nexus people for explications about merging and I will reply them soon when I will have the time to go diplomatic. They want to know what we have to offer. I also want to convince Brett Tosti (*The original EAW Lead Producer) to be our Lead Producer at NMA ... will see if he has the time. Now my main point is that the NMA will get results for moders on multiple levels not only just make mods. I used the mods to start working in the industry so I know that i can help the others do the same not to mention that we will share actual working system and industry knowhow that will help a lot when you are submitting a CV. Ghostly knows how much Brett T helped me. Many of us are old moders and we are way past the simple satisfaction of just makeing a mod and getting some feedback , we already had our places of glory so now we want to aim for the game industry , we want to prove something and learn more etc. Fosh you are not my lacky and I never seen you as that - do as you wish - we own you too much not to respect your decision. Also it is not a war betwen NMA and the Nexus - its a DEBATE ... just that. The NMA creation was rushed before his time .... so for now we have a poor look - but this will change in the future. So my point is simple - The Nexus should merge with us if they trully want what they say they want - since anyway we actually do the same as they but we also bring much more to a moding group .... We will probably assimilate their management structure and merge it with our own.... etc. EvilleJedi loll - yes you can do "Judge Dread" actions around here - since I personally trust your judgements and I hope the rest are too ... but I'm sure that this will not be your actual job ok seeya soon guys - got to run

"Hayatus due to lack of useful info and quality discussions." One of the questions was a direct challenge to our system and it contested one of our main juice stuff. The ability to produce news about the game. I have deleted that question. Pls keep an eye on such things and "raze them from the ground" We barely get more news and some Waco decides to say that its not good how we supply it ... you guys know how hard it was to get LEC let us have Delphi here and supply some news when you know that LEC tends to monopolise this thing ... So I'm pretty much upset if someone decides to criticize our hard work. I moved it to the bar to die ....

That’s because you don't know the full picture. We are backing up this forums true JI (JediIgor) and when the time will be to move to the PF (Petroglyph Forums) the PFF (The Unofficial ones) will be hosted on a better server on the swr space. I personally recommend those people from swr to host PFF since their professional quality exceeds any expectations and they know what they are doing. We keep the PFF since some of the activities from here will not be able to exist on the official forums (feedback etc) due to possible legal precautions. Anyway both the PF and the new PFF have the right to clime the legacy of PFF and start with the last backup version of it. As for NMA .... Fosh we want to bring it to an extremely elevated work style in the moding world - something never seen before. We want to enable the news flow and communication between multiple eaw sites - we want to increase the moders satisfaction. I know exactly what needs to be done and trust me - it will work - since our goals are: (*Better = as in better than ever before in a moding comunity) -Better Management -Better Resources -Better Communication -Excellent Relations with the Developers -People from the Game Industry involved 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 PC. -Better and secured Feedback exchange between the Developers and Moders. -Better credits systems that will ensure an increased value on a CV when a moder will apply for a job in the game industry. etc. We will also mod P-02 and the rest of Petroglyph games. Btw I've been more open to a merging between NMA and Nexus than the Nexus people. As I said before we do have the same goals like Nexus but we want much more - our goals exceed their wildest dreams and I can bet my money that they have no clue how to get to the same vision and results that we have at NMA. NMA was planned long ago but this not means that you are excluded or something. I only fully knew about Nexus when they come here and they asked us to go to them and populate their forums - this is a sever diplomatic error - but I’m sure that they can learn and improve them self’s. Anyway they use affiliations for mods - we use full partnership - production publisher style etc. The NMA will be serious organization and it will be done and work probably even better than we imagine it now. The rules and the concepts of the NMA are not yet fully debated and rock hard but we do have our main goals ready. You are a part of our team and you have always been - but your path is your own. Think ... who made the PFF possible? Who created this unseen before age of communication in the open between developers and fans? (*Especially when LEC is also involved) Who enabled all this? Leme tell ya - US ! All of us from PFF ! And it is an almost impossible goal and impossible vision - more difficult to do than the NMA. Fosh - you are always welcome to stay, join and help us and if you want to be active on the Nexus too - for you I am ready to accept it and I hope that your presence will facilitate a better communication between the NMA and he Nexus and we will have merging in the future. PS. EvilleJedi has now Moderator powers - congrats EJ !

I’ve seen many people here who enjoy the dark side – so I assume that they want to see it and feel it. There is a small sith inspired test (*that some ones may already know). Its about some pictures that contain the key to the dark side – They have a gate that makes you go there. If you can almost hear the path and go on it … enjoy it … then you are truly a Sith Master. http://www.yehey.com/exgame.htm May the force be with you so you will be able to hear the path and see the gate to the dark side. PS. This topic is also open to discussions about the role of the drak side in the eaw's story and the game in general.

Thanks. Somehow the eaw developing story actually reminds me of the star wars story. So much action, so much hope and force use. Brett your name will be forever associated with EAW and I don’t think that someone else will never take the place as new lead producer for eaw. Hey we can still connect you to the fate of eaw. We are designing a virtual moding community – the NMA – a very powerful one – so …. How about taking the role of lead producer there? You will be guide the production of eaw mods. Nothing much to do just an advice here and there. It will be extremely cool and it will keep you close too your baby not to mention that you will have the power to influence all the eaw mods. Come back and take the job I know that your moral support will be able to help allot the moding community and I estimate that we will require from you a max of 5-10 replys per week. So … what do you say ?! Did you missed your baby and the action around eaw ? You are an inspiration to us all and even now I can sense your absence in the development of eaw. The other guys at LEC don’t have your focus and your skill. They are close but not close enough. I remember the past when I did so much research to find out who you are – I know your capabilities and I’m sure LEC should have never let you go – they should have made an offer that you could not refuse. But then … fresh air its also good J And more fun. Btw how are the dragons doing J fighting bugs ? When do you estimate that the game will be ready ? Edit PS. I’m managing the daily priorities for the QA and Developing and listen to cool smooth music. But I can’t concentrate – I still have in my head the days when Brett was lead producer J when he managed eaw and made trips to Las Vegas to e3 etc. Ahhh what nice times – I miss them a lot. These feelings have a certain melancholic aura in my heart that’s why I will “killâ€

Ghostly can you pls. post more pictures from this TV animated series ? and liks - some of us never seen them. Thanks.

Ghostly any mod in the organization has a chance to recruit man power from inside the NMA also you will get help in doing this action. Trust me - you will have tones of people in the future who will try to help you its only a matter of good PR. Juggernaut1985 we are in a bit of a problem and the only solution seems a merging at this point. The goals of the Nexus are our goals too - I mean we have them but we want much more to get and give. They don't seem to want to merge and they look more interested in asimilateing our people in their forums. We will aslo have a central base on the PFF the future new PFF and the PF but we will be runned like a game publisher ...etc. Its up to you to give us a hand and convince them to merge if of course their interests are to help the hole community of moders and not only help boost their site. ... btw did anyone seen Ismael ?! He emailed me that he will be here tonight. I want him to be the General Manager of NMA and I think everyone will agree with this. Gostly - present your mod in the NMA like Stellar did

If he agrees I will give him moderator powers - ask him.

Ok Stellar - you know better.

Cool stuff - thank you - its just that we have here games for mobiles so one tester could test the hole game. I could consider to make them test only one particular game so they will become experts in it ... this will work well - I will go to speak with the QA leads and make this a rule when ever its possible. Also I will need your knowhow support or at least moral support if you are busy in one of our endeavors that we try to start : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1166 Take a look and let me know if I have your blessing. ... btw my GM ask me in what company you are now ? .... I remember that its a small new one. PS. and a link to the Lair trailer ... I don't seem to find it.

Stellar I have a suggestion to make .... how about this name ?!: Reality Mod: Rise of the Rebellion

Well probably yes - Its up to EJ

Cool As for the Protectorate series - well probably the Admiral Nightmares will be in ...but I'm not sure if PTESB history will work on EAW since it was designed useing the SWR gameplay and the history is kind of strange to some. Will see Btw so your reallity mod is becomeing the first official NMA published and produced mod. I think Warlords will be the second.I'm moveing them to the NMA subforum. Loll - you already did ....

oh good, you take credit for doing nothing except providing hosting. We are doing exactly what LEC did for EAW. We will be the publisher so will supply tones of resources … not to mention that the NMA will have real people from the game industry (that worked for LEC, Activision, Ubisoft or still work there etc) in the management and feedback areas. We also see the NMA as the last station for the moders who desire to work in the industry – we will make sure that their work will be truly credited and will really count when they will apply for a position in a game company. But I’m sure that the Nexus has this too – btw is it Nexus like in the game Nexus ?! It’s a bit-confusing name. I do not see any problem for these two organizations to exist and help each other as long as they will stop making topics requesting our people to join their forums. Even us in our PR golden days never went to a site and asked people to join us directly – it is not polite – we used sigs and such. And again what is Nexus offering?! Human resources? Hosting space, feedback, and help? They are offering the classic mega site mix of moders. We are offering something new and different that has never been done before, we do have the experience to run this thing and we did it before. Our last moding community the TTO was more advanced than the Nexus is now. We really can’t go back and join Nexus since we have already evolved to a higher level of moding work.

The subforum is up : http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewforum.php?f=23 .... waiting for confirmation.

yup you can

Well - I'm not about to argue no more here - you guys don't get it - we have planned a totally different thing - if it will work its fine if not then it is also fine. We do not affiliate mods - we produce them and the moders develop them etc. Who wants in the NMA - just let me know.

Its not ours and it has not our support ... so are you with us or with them ? I'm not about to enlist my self in a moding community that has not our additional goals and that I personally suspect of not haveing all the cards on the table. Anyway here is the structure of the NMA (Nevada Moding Association) - Nevada = Las Vegas = Petroglyph to avoid any direct legal trace to the devs. NMA : NMA General Manager = Ismael NMA Lead Producer= Eville Jedi - Main job to guide the overall production of mods. NMA Associate Producer = Main job will be to help the GM - Ismael - and I will suggest for this job - Jedi Igor NMA Community Manager = Cain NMA Community Coordinator = Ghostly NMA PR Manager = Fosh NMA PR Coordinator = Open NMO VISION Manager = Stellar NMO Vision Coordinator= Open NMA Human Resources Manager=Open NMA Human Resources Coordinator=Open NMA Support Manager= All the site admins were we have enclaves NMA Enclave Manager= NMA Enclave coordinator= NMA Project Manager = All Mod Leaders ... Now inside the NMO we will have two leaders a Manager and a Coordinator: Here are the departaments: NMA Development - 2 jobs NMA QA - 2 jobs NMA Internal Feedback - 2 jobs . for our projects NMA External Feedback - 2 Jobs . for petro projetcs etc The developers will not take any official managerial place but they will have their influence present true Ismael. now its up to you guys to decide what job yopu want or were you are best suited. We have jobs for everyone.

Yup they are all corect ... also we support cooperation betwen different sites by haveing enclaves on all of their forums. Off course that we will have a central command site - actually a section in that one (JediIgor is working on it - the new PFF - that will show up after we move to the PF) but that will be used only for work feedback etc. We also have the devs to convince to take part in this organization in a hidden and secretive way (due to legal dangers) and if they will trust or managerial team they will help. That's why we need to have Ismael on this too. Also we have a bit of a problem with this IA2 Nexus thing since it tends to create one super site and the other EAW site admins will not like it not to mention that as a dev you want to have many sites and spread all over the web etc. So this beeing said I want to know if our PFF people will go with the Nexus or join forces with us in the development of the new organization. Btw Stellar - how about createing the "Book of Origins" for the new organization ? (lets have this name for a start : PMO - Petroglyph Moding Organization. 1. What is PMO. 2. What we offer. 3. What are our rules ... etc Stellar you are better than me at this ? Could you start the docment and we will work with you on it makeing different versions ?
