Is that is how you thank me?

Let me try to give a glimpse of my perspective:
** In my opinion, a successful minigame is a combination of all these: good concept, beautiful arena and an enjoyable implementation.
* For the Implementation: kudos to @Panther for doing ALL the work, because he is the developer. He also never stops working on certain minigames just because they are complete and instead always looking to our feedbacks and constantly fixing bugs, balancing gameplay etc.
* For the Arena: @RunnerNS (aka Flo) said that your arenas were semi-okay. Though it is a matter of subjective opinion, I believe he didn't simply say so because he hates you so perhaps we shouldn't take that into consideration.
* For the Concept: this is where you role comes in most of the time. You came up with ideas for the minigames (and then prepare the arenas yourself, which people should admire you for). However, while you might not purposefully get the idea from any particular server, I strongly believe there must have been an "inspirations" to those ideas, even if they came from a completely different computer game/movie/etc. There is a limit on what kind of fun you can achieve in Terraria, and that limit is really too narrow for any of us to claim "complete originality" for our ideas. Take one of your game for example: Death run, one of your minigame featuring team variation in set up and objective (runner and... psychos? I forgot the name). It might be new to our server, or haven't been implemented by anyone else, but it is in no way an original game idea, and when we talk about implementation, it is @Panther who gets the credits. Trying to operate such game manually without a server's plugin is NOT fun at all. Therefore, Death run speaking specifically, I wasn't impressed.
=> You do have ideas, but I believe that if we actively poll for, others also do. What you beat them to is perhaps your love for making minigames and the will to open up to share those ideas.

** (tl;dr) So my point is: While I appreciate the fact that you are a very dedicated player, and it was unfortunate that there might be some wrongful opinions about you, the fact that you created this post led me to my final question: What if your demand for recognition is perhaps a little bit too much for the extent of your achievements?

I am not asking to be recognised i am asking not to call me names

Never jump to conclusions when reading something. At what @RunnerNS said is constructive criticism. Constructive criticism helps the person being critiqued at to improve his or her skills. Use @RunnerNS 's criticism as a guide on what skill/s you can improve for the enjoyment of others.

I might have had a similar problem as you did, in real life, but I feel glad It was in real-life because you get to know about them and tell someone about it, but the internet is a cruel place sometimes we can't figure out directly who it is or who does it. There are sadistic people on the server and online, they are just trolling, it has happened to me before. Don't let it get to your head. If anything those insults are just meant to make us stronger. If people criticize you, destructive or constructive, build off of it learn from them, move on and get better. Remember, we all love you especially me.

Yours truly,
Winky

I am not asking to be recognised i am asking not to call me names

It's simple, make a report. This happened before in the past to other people, and these people made a report. If you don't want to show these names out in public, make a report saying that some people have been harassing you and you don't like it etc etc and say that you want to give their names to a staff member, if needed. Or you could throw it all out in a PM to someone.

Basically, something like this: http://www.terraria.tls.id.au/showthread...ght=Harass

That's what I'd do, at least.

Brendan out.

Okay youssef. Did a quick check through the forums. Never once has anyone called you a copier or a fake, since thats seemingly the only reason you were going on about this, then i suggest this thread be closed. (Not going to do it myself because don't want to cut off something youssef or anyone else might want to say)

[FabbyTizzi]

Im sorry to be a party pooper but im gonna close this now since im pretty sure everything that needed to be said, has been said. So if anyone needs to be blamed, then me . Also if you're feeling disrespected try to talk to these persons via PM and don't make them public, thanks.
