I'd seen RAG games mentioned but knew nothing of them. I seem to understand that I need a "player" to run what you people program into a game session.
While I'm not about to embark into RAGS, I feel that you hold together a pleasant sub-community within "the Lagoon". That is enhanced somewhat within "Projects". I trust that other Lagooners like me appreciate your contribution (sure there are others who contribute but you seem to be the 'hub').
I am not looking to argue with anyone. But I do think there needs to be some clarification of your comments. What part of what is quoted above is not true? Nothing here is suggesting Lydia is some huge Rags guru. Her game appears to me to be the only active one in the Rags threads. Thus saying she is holding together the Rags community would be accurate.
If you are looking for a true Rags guru, then that person would be the one who is writing the engine. But as this is a game forum, wouldn't it be better to have someone who is known for writing Rags games? Check the reply to Lydia's first post here. She was recognized without even having to say who she was. Various other posts here also show proof that she is recognized as one of the top game makers. Other forums will show the same type of evidence. I'd say this would qualify as the guru that you later mention.
So exactly in what way were you "too generous with your praise"? Your comments come off more as a cruel joke. Welcome someone and give them some credit for trying to share the hard work they have put into the games they make. Plus trying to share a new type of game with the forum. And then come after to say, oh, sorry, my mistake. You haven't done anything worth being thanked for. Can you name the last new Rags game that has been posted here? Not new to this forum. New to still being written? The only one I can find is Lydia's game and thanks to oh, I don't know who, it won't be updated here anymore.
So please share this rationale from one upset member how someone else has done so much for the Rags thread.
