Every time my fellow testers have tried to explain/pimp the MMORTS BEyond Protocol on these boards the thread gets trolled by ignorant gamespot regulars and then locked. What the hell is this folks?

My reply after the last round of accusations that the game (on your lists) was an advert and all posting were involved in some huge conspiracy lolol. Gotta love the trolls - but reward and nurture them? Kinda looks bad for Gamespot after recent news.

REPLY to trolls @

Some of you folks are making huge judgements with no info. I am a I? Ive been here longer than most replying and tbh until recently found ZERO worth posting about. Mundane huge clone like games released verbatim - BORING. I was a UT2004 iCTF player - played a lot.. Until I found MMORTS - a genre that's has been here since 1998 thus showing those hasty hasty judgements for what they are.. ignorance of the subject. Why post here if you cannot contribute after a fair look? Have I gone on to your RPG threads and just dissed them? No - I have no interest at all in those fake Role playing grinds and thus keep out of it. Leave it to the fans.

As to the first/one post account s- gamespot should be happy and thanking Dark Sky Entertainment for promoting their site when we have genre focused sites available. Your site would never have got these players interest unless something brought them here. No DSE haven't thrown loads of financial speculators cash at advertising like many others - and we know the debates about that. This is not to be disrespected but admired. They are promoting their game on recommendation and word of mouth, social sites where players hang out and forums where RTSplayers and more frequent. This is all legit and, quite frankly, a lot more honourable than many other large scale outfits.

All those posts were by PLAYERS. You have chosen to judge without playing and then troll a legitimate game with a listing on this site and many others? DO you have an agenda? Sit down and let some of us real MMORTS gamers explain WHY this game will own all other RTS titles as well as invade and steal a good chunk of RPG subscribers. Every thread has been attacked on here and word is going out btw.

So far I haven't seen one post by a developer of this game - check out the forums and see how many links are to here. This is something gamespot need - player integrity in their reviews - not a box set played over a weekend.

I mean - who posts on a thread in a forum this large, with this much to be involved with, and posts that he doesn't care. You are the guy who ticks Don't Know on polls aren't you? lol

If you're making a post to talk about how great a game is, go nuts. As long as it is in the proper forum, I'm sure no one minds. But if you are just making a post to advertise or solicit for a specific game, I think most people dont approve of that.

I would say folk who post back to front posts with no contribution. Normally it involves lots of disrespect or obvious stupidity. Such as 2200 posts and that question :p

Sonicare - I agree I think. You aren't the clearest poster but seem right. If we players posted raving about a game, as we did, then that's fine. If the devs disrespect gamespot by pimping themselves then slap them. The issue where was some uninformed posters after a large post count flamed without even looking at the game or trying it. THAT'S TROLLING .

Try not to advertise. It is against the rules here. It's especially bad when multiple accounts are made for the advertising.

What is this thread about.MoonSpoon

StoneFace is raising the issue of people needlessly spamming the boards with criticisms of games without any knowledge of the game and contributing bugger all to that forum over all and most likely insulting those who are tryin to discuss said game. I agree that those who post just to put down something they have no experience of is a waste of time and i think that if you have something constructive to say that is grounded in evidence then that fair enough post away.

Now that is exactly what we have encountered. Not one gamer posting on Beyond Protocol is a developer or connected in anyway to DSE. I run www.mmortsgamers.com which covers ALL games in this 10 year old genre. Now - if you speak from knowledge and have access to ip logs then you KNOW we are all different and in different countries. If you dont have access logs - wtf are you posting for? Troll? Impressive post count but means nothing to me given the vast majority of games and the two posts of yours I have seen so far lol

Think your avatar could have equaled your post alone ;)

I can take a flame folks - bring it but just leave the commercial company a lot of folks have their money and time invested in alone till you try it - all i ask.

Blog the thing, or put it in your sig. Don't link a thread that was locked for advertising.
