TSR: In Ur Accounts, Deletin Ur Stuffs!

[Nova Strike]

Maybe Thom@$$ cut a deal with EA to screw the simming community out of money no matter what we do.

Or maybe he got bought by Walt and TSR is going to go under too.

Or maybe Thom@$$ is retiring and T$R is dying.

OK, I'm hoping T$R goes under, but.

If you haven't seen Coconut's blog, on the 12th there was an update. A person posting in the comments guessed correctly what the TSR announcement would be, which is they are going to announce that Wes H. will be joining the TSR Merlin development team.

Other TSR news includes they have their first objects which they are marketing at the "very first Sims 3 Custom Objects for you to download" and the "first, quality CC Furniture to appear for your game!" They are also saying this is a huge milestone for the community. The above three things are totally wrong seeing as we have had CC furniture for what, a month, month and a half or more now, so that milestone was hit a long time ago. They also can't give you any dining sets because they haven't gotten dining chairs to work yet, lighting and build things are still in testing, and some of the color variants are still not functional is some objects.

In other news TSR has created The Sims 3 Wiki, which according to a comment on Coconut's blog (by the same person who guess right about TSR's announcement) it has content taken right from MTS' Wiki, just the wording altered slightly.

Hmm Thomas- Wes H posted the first new objects for TS3 back in late June, and the first new objects were Stylist Sims Living Room set on July 31st, Snaitif's Paintings in June, and the Dining Set at Sims 3 Martkplatz that was posted by Schnuffi1982 on August 4th. You have the first entirely new objects for Sims 3 just like Peggy had the first new hair on July 28th when HystericalParoxysm released her hairs on July 19th. You people are idiots of the highest class and I don't mean that as a compliment. Also if Merlin works anything like the TSR Wizard, the Sims3Workshop, and the TSRSims2Wizard did - screw you DNW

[minionsRmine]

But we must remember the cult that is TSR. No one else counts unless they are affiliated with TSR. And what's Wes_H's problem? I can't decide how much money Thomas must be talking. They're trying to screw over their FAs from getting extra money, so they surely aren't offering Wes much. So what's in it for him?

I really don't give a crap about Sims 3. It will not be on my machine. I've long since boycotted EA. They won't get another dime from me--not in any way, shape or form. If a game has an EA logo, forget it. I don't care if it's the only game in town--I'll play solitaire with a deck of cards instead. I'm just still here to watch paysites burn.

This makes me really sad.

[dstar]

 Not that I don't trust Coconut, it is more the people at TSR that she is finding this shit out from that I don't trust. I would not trust anyone in the know at TSR any farther than I could throw them and last thing I knew most of those people weigh more than I can either lift or throw. It makes me sad if it is true but look at how many people they claimed worked with them on the workshop that never had anything to do with TSR and had no idea that TSR was making these claims. While JFade, Saraswati, and Inge Jones may have helped them with the Workshit somewhat, some of the people they claimed worked on the Workshop Development Team had no idea that TSR was even creating their own tools. WesH has yet to make any statements at all either at MTS or at Custom Sims 3 Forum- or anywhere else that I have found-- and until he does I am taking this news with a grain of salt- since TSR have lied  claimed that people that would never ever, ever work with them ever- had in fact worked with them only to have these people turn around and state that TSR was lying and present evidence as to the fact. Frankly if Thomass was standing in a Walmart Parking lot with a stolen TV in his hands and a cop pointing a gun in his face asking if he stole the TV - he would lie even when shown videotaped evidence that showed him stealing the TV. If WesH says he participated in the creation of Merlin I will believe him- if he says no I will believe him because he has a better record than Thomass when it comes to telling the truth. Not that that is difficult- John Gotti probably lied less in his entire lifetime than Thomass has lied just since the founding of The Shit Resource.

[missangelica]

I won't believe it either until Wes says so on another site like his own site.

[Pescado]

Well, Coconut says TSR will announce it. That does not mean it will be TRUE. TSR has habitually announced things that have turned out to be blatant not-trueities.

[CatOfWar]

Time to post in the the TSR forums, I think.  Give links to the real first Sims3 CC.  Thoma$$'s empire of lies is built on ignorance.

edit: I find the announcement about Wes_H as staff difficult to believe.  From what I've seen, he seems to be an ethical person.  He knows firsthand that TSR lies, since he was one of the people TSR screwed over when  some in the free community tried to cooperate with them.  The only plausible reason I could think of for him to do it would be to try to change TSR from the inside.  I don't think he's that foolish.  Would they let him link to MTS?  Would they let him tell the truth about who made the first Sims3 CC and who wrote the content of the wiki?  I bet my IRA they won't.

[SoggyFox]

I know I don't buy it - as Coconut says, TSR is announcing it, but it doesn't make it true.  That's like them announcing Numenor helped on their workshop [when to my knowledge, he hasn't touched sims 3 stuff at all.]

[dstar]

The realistic fact of the matter is that if or until WesH makes a statement about this one way or the other- the free community will refuse to believe anything TSR says- We all know TSR lies to make themselves look good, and most of the people TSR is trying to convert to their cause will never believe them because they are trying to make themselves look good to people like us, GOS Sims Cave, BPS, MTS and Insim, as well as programmers like Pete and Inge Jones, WesH and Delphy. Most of us will never buy their shit again - the list of victims in this is simply to fuckin long, and includes many of the most popular, and most well respected members of the free community. I honestly think given the history and background of some of the creators/programmers/modders that TSR claims helped them with the TSR TS3 Workshop and who they claim are helping them with Merlin -  that anyone who is helping them if they are in fact helping them at all  on their ickle tools is only helping TSR in order to help TSR make  TSR  look even more foolish  than they already do since most TSR created programs are fail and have been since the TS1 days.

They lie because they don't have a genuine mod creator amongst them since Windkeeper retired- other than AnoeskaB who doesn't know any more about .pkg formats and the coding used in the games than what she needs to know to make OMSP's. They need to lie because they need to look like they have modders and programmers working for them so the Sheep won't go to Simbology, Insim, MTS, or MATY for their hacks/mods/programs. Fools

[minionsRmine]

The fact that Coconut has listed this 3 days ago and Wes hasn't denied it has made me think that it is true. Surely he's had some word by now that Coconut has dropped the bomb.

[Quorneater]

Wes probably doesn't go to Coconut.  I asked Johan (TSR) in chat if it was true and he didn't reply.  I haven't see Wes yet since reading about it myself today.

[CatOfWar]

I know HP and Delphy don't check Coconut's blog regularly, maybe WesH doesn't either.  Not everyone keeps up with this stuff as religiously as pirates.  I'm hoping that's the reason for no comment from WesH.

edit: Ninja'd by Inge!

[Dr House]

I'm with MissA, won't believe it 'til Wes confirms it on an independent site
