[Vehek]

MagusX1 quoted those words of the Retranslation page in his third retranslation rant video.

Well, if he insults me with my purely neutral message, I'd say it's time to fight douches with douches.

"When you argue with an idiot, the audience can't tell the difference."

Oh well, who gives a damn, right? He's one person.

All of his rants compiled into one little wordle.

Anyone else find it funny how he's like, 30 and bashes everyone?... I swear at the beginning of his video he said something about a Barn yard or barney rap or something...that made me wtf...No life =/

"Listen KWhazit and Chrono Compendium Square Enix uses-er- Porfessional Translators! No, uh, Half-Ass jobs like you guys do!"

Add this to the slogan thread:

The Chrono Compendium: We Use Half-Ass Jobs.


Yay for being fluent in the english language, eh?

Quote Magus:
.you guys think I hate Chrono Conpendium I just hate the retranslations and I think your page is misleading

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

I would like to take this time to reveal the post that he made on my page.

Silly elitist troll. Know better not to flame me...or you will get flamed badly...have a nice day! Unlike you, peope like me, I have over 600 subs, you are just an elitist with no friends...simple as that

Then he blocked me.  Dick.  I couldn't flame him even if I wanted to.

[x_XTacTX_x]

It's funny,he'll call you a "Silly Elitist Troll", but in the end that's pretty much what he's making himself out to be, no?

[Shinrin]

This is getting out of hand, you guys are attacking a guy who doesn't like the translation, or guys rather. People have their own opinions about stuff, if they don't like it, don't flame the guy because he doesn't like it or reads something wrong. If you guys keep doing this, nothing will get done and it's silly. You can't force anyone to love a translation, be it a good or bad translation, trust me, we didn't force the people who hate the FF6 retrans to love it because we wanted everyone to be happy about it. You got to remember, you can't please everyone in the world, and yes, he might of went on a rampage about it, but that's him, he has the free will to do that, I'm not defending him or attacking you guys, I'm saying this because I think it's pointless. Also people do take the things the wrong way, hell I do that lots of times myself. So will you guys quit this crazy attack on one guy?

Here's what I get from this.

You guys release the retranslation,

Said guy downloads it and reads the page.

Said guy tries it and hates the translation and misunderstands the page.

Said guy puts a few youtube videos up about it, bashing the translation.

You guys retailiate and fuss at him about it.

He blocks you guys and think that Zeality is sending you guys to him.

You guys get mad at him calling you trolls. Which infact you are, cause you're bashing him.

So what if he has bad grammar, alot of people do.

anyway off my soapbox.

[x_XTacTX_x]

You know what? Shinrin... Is right.

I'll leave this as is, there are better ways to spend my time.

[nightmare975]

I was only mad because he publicly bashed the site, not the translation.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Hahahaha... the plot thickens!  I find this more and more sad.

[Vehek]

This "war" started because he claimed he was deceived by the retranslation page and wanted to "show people the truth" (paraphrased). If he hadn't said that in his first video, I wouldn't have gotten upset.

[x_XTacTX_x]

I was only mad because he publicly bashed the site, not the translation.

I really doubt that was his motivation for the video. Listen to the guy: He has horrible grammar and gets way to into the moment. His true thoughts probably weren't as harsh as his words. He even says he has nothing against the site, only the translation. He says he likes the Chrono series, so why would that leave him with a cause to dislike the Compendium?

And even if he is bashing the site, we really shouldn't waste our time trying to counter argue with someone like him. He's going to insist on being right in every way no matter what you do, so in these kinds of cases it's just better to drop it and ignore the person who started the conflict. Say, a small child in elementary school gets made fun of because he talks a certain way. Put yourself in that child's shoes; are you particularly going to care about what the other kids think if all they can come up with are childish, meaningless insults? The correct answer is no, and the only way to "Put him in his place", per say, is to show him that he has no affect on us at all. Ignore him like you ignore a crumb of bread on an empty plate, his thoughts and opinons really won't affect us in the long run anyway.

And say he hated the retranslation; okay, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Do you think Masato Kato was affected personally when the masses of superficial CT fanboys bashed Chrono Cross? No, he didn't, because he was proud of his work and he still had an exteremly large and loyal fanbase.

[Kebrel]

Did any one even listen to the rant? He said he likes the compendium in fact he thought Prophets Guile was awesome. He didn't like the retans and misread our statement so what? The only thing I have against this man, is that he would rather rant then get up and take care of his damn kid.
