@Hunter

When I say that Blue-Eyes is "Above Reproach", I am referring not to what someone contributes to a community. Contributions do not fall under how someone is treated. I am talking about "How" someone contributes to the community. That you have contributed to Buddy Fight in spades is completely accurate.

But look at your comments, or just take the one that started this, like this part "You continuing to put out updates will cause more crashing issues than the unofficial updates already cause, and I'm not going to go back and change my file names and crap to accomodate for your updates." And then go look at Blue-Eyes comments. What you will find is why I said "Above Reproach". No slams, only humility and a willingness to help. I am not Above Reproach. Unfortunately, I have crossed that line too many times. The hypocrite statement was activated and will resolve on it's own. What you believe, you believe. I've now told you what I believe separates someone, and just the comment you made on this board after someone worked their tail off to get this done is the line Blue-Eyes hasn't crossed.

More importantly, I think '''much could have been avoided if you would have asked a question about why the update was there. ''' If you had, you may not have had anything to say, except maybe thank you to Blue-Eyes. Here is how this update happened.

1. I was made aware that a tournament was going to be held and the version that was linked was 96.5.

2. I found out some wanted to enter but used a Mac.

3. I decided that since some are not used to installing windows programs on a Mac, and the only tutorials I had done in a situation just like this was old, I wanted to try and make an App for the Mac that people could simply download and play.

4. I was given a link to .97 and told there were some issues. I corrected those. The 250x349 cards that had somehow been placed in the Mini folder when they should have been 62x88 as you know. I thought perhaps .97 could be used in the tournament.

5. Because of the problem of what people had asked us for, like adding cards that were missing, I contacted Blue-Eyes and asked him to send me his text files so that it would work with .97. I initiated this update for the tournament. This was not some continuation of updates that would continue to come out and compete. If you look. If you just would have looked. You would have seen that Blue-Eyes was always going to merge it with .97 when it was fixed. There would be no difference that would crash a game. And there were no planned further updates, so by copying and pasting this version, all you would have done is add a few images and have some text corrected. That is all. You would have benefited. You stopped at 2078. '''This would have only added 3 images, 2079, 2080, 2081. And numerous corrections to text. That is it. '''

6. I was able to play people without crashing using this update while they used .97. The only difference was that they could not see the stats that were corrected, for reasons I don't need to explain to you, and so the updated version of 96.5 was more accurate than .97  One card was particularly interesting in that the text said when~put a card from the top of your deck into the gauge and gain 1 life. It is OR gain 1 life. An easy thing for people even looking at the cards while building or playing to not see. Of course, there were many more corrections as well as the addition up to the latest Kaizerion and bringing back Nice One to where it was supposed to be, whereas .97 had somehow place Rock N Roll there.

7. Once I realized that 0.97.5 was stable and could be used for the tournament, I made it into an App for the Mac for people to download.

'''It seems like you thought that this was the next installment of what would continue to be pushed as alternative updates. Blue-Eyes only did this because I asked to collaborate'''. And if you don't want to read Blue-Eye's Wall, just read this quote.

"I've just gone + fixed Tsukikage SD in my version; I'd already done all the other ones (I forgot to reply to the original post, whoops) and was planning to release them in the next update, but now the official update's out I'm trying to like. Merge all my fixes with it since that's the version most people are going to use."

So "The real issue is that its going to cause more crashes for everyone due to conflicting updates because you insist on doing the work that I've already done. I'm busy enough as is. I'm not going to accomodate your insistence when only one of us is actually able to get these turned into official updates. My point is that you're wasting effort and will have a negative effect on the larger community by causing more confusion."

'''Where is the wasted effort? '''When Blue-Eyes posted this, I didn't see a call for you to add this to your update. All the numbers were the SAME. Your talk about crashing is nonsense. It crashes even when people use the same "Official" version. Like I said, I didn't crash while playing against .97 last night. Not once. And this was never going to be a competition. I was going to make the "Official" (which does sound funny since Bushiroad would be all over this) into an App too, but wanted to complete the other for the tournament, and so that we had the same fixes for people in the tournament.

So, all I'm asking for, is that you, the one who, according to your words"... has, since the game's launch, been doing everything he can to keep the community up to date and give them a resource to improve? The person who thanklessly (quite the opposite) has been doing these official updates for a year now? The person who raises awareness of worldwide Buddyfight events that are usually out of the spotlight despite being attacked and threatened for it?" '''ask instead of tell. '''

Find out what is going on before telling someone what they've just worked on is going to make your life hard. It implies that Blue-Eyes wants to be accomodated. And that's not true.

If you copy and past the text and images this update, you'd receive 3 images and multiple fixes. Say all you want about me. Don't care.

'''But look at Blue-Eyes history of comments and try to find a good reason for what you opened this up with. '''

'''Then post it right here. Right HERE. Please, find something that justifies your first comment.'''
