[Mod] SovietTest [soviet]

[SuperStarSonic]

It's insulting! Insulting the feelings of millions of people born in the USSR, you thereby humiliate the entire minetest community. You have no idea what happened in the USSR, and you don't hear the people who really were there. I can also make a mod about America, or any other country, taking all existing stereotypes as a basis, and mixing them with the most unfavorable areas, for example, with the ghetto. Taking as a basis the ghetto of Detroit in its decline, I can call the mod - America test. Do you want this? How would you like that? Or Eisenbahnstraße in Leipzig, and the adjacent Neustadt-Neuschönefeld district.
Drug trafficking, criminal showdowns and the division of markets, unemployment and poverty.
I can take this as a basis, and I will call the mod - Germany test.
Will it be good?

Are you forgetting the USSR no longer exists?

This mod does not include these 'offensive' ideas posted in this thread, please don't attack the mod itself.

Where is who and what violated , or is it your IMHO LMD ?

Your first (minor, esp. since I had to consider the possibility of a translation issue shifting your tone) infraction was accusing 56independent_actual of "constantly lying". I reacted to this by gently reminding you of the forum rules, but you doubled down so I issued a warning (and deleted the offending post).

LMD if you don't care about the mod and the posts of this forum, just don't go to it! What are you doing here?

Moderating.

Don't attack the moderator, they're doing there job, and listen; Its hard to moderate a large form like this, give them a break. Esp. because they're doing a good job.

Thanks LMD...

Are you forgetting the USSR no longer exists?

no one took the USSR passport and it is considered valid. Some even speculate on this in the CIS countries. They say we are from the USSR and we will not pay for communal services))))

Don't attack the moderator, they're doing there job, and listen; Its hard to moderate a large form like this, give them a break. Esp. because they're doing a good job.

Which moderators am I attacking? I didn't communicate with the administration here at all. You don't need to tell me about the difficulties of moderation, I will be the administrator of voice chats where there are more than 6k online. No one complained about my inadequate attitude or taxi driving.
56independent_actual
If he is lying in every post of this section and it is true, he was not sent to 3 letters, did not swear with obscenities, did not even argue and did not object.
He's probably ashamed because he doesn't answer.

I will analyze one sentence well

More than a year ago, Putin launched their invasion of Ukraine, which luckily failed miserably at its goal.

this is not an invasion, but a company to protect Ukraine and Russia from the United States. He did it perfectly. if it were not so, there would be a nuclear war

I don't want to talk about politics, so I won't analyze it in one word, all this is a lie.
It even concerns me while you are peacefully playing Minetest. My house shakes every night from explosions.

This mod does not include these 'offensive' ideas posted in this thread, please don't attack the mod itself.

This mod does not belong to the USSR call it the USA I will calm down
maybe it will come to you this way

I reacted to this by gently reminding you of the forum rules, but you doubled down so I issued a warning (and deleted the offending post).

Is the crown on your head not tight? It is easier to relate to people and perceive them as they are, it may become easier to live. Take a deep breath ... exhale...
I'm warning you too, stop being rude!

Also here's a note to any moderators that might get an uncontrollable urge to lock this topic after seeing it get flooded by shitposters like lmk: all this mod does is add a bunch of building materials, that's all. I tried to make it as politically neutral as I could, but some nationalists are still getting butthurt over their country's architecture not being portrayed the way they want it. Please consider the fact that most people have no issue with this mod and for the most part it's just two or three users trolling the thread.

We don't like criticism, then why are we posting in the public? 1 Your name does not match the fashion. 2 textures are your fantasies and have nothing to do with the USSR. What was shown in the film or I shot it for you. These are documentary chronicles of those days!!
There are no problems only for those who did not live in the USSR and thanks to you they will think that this is the USSR

PS It's funny, instead of listening, you come to personal insults
this is my last message because it is not logical to throw beads in front of pigs

I could give a link to this section in my chat, your mod was then seen by about 6K people here there would be the same messages about 3K. I didn't do it for ethical reasons!

we 5 administrators of Russian servers discussed this mod in a closed chat, our players did not see it.
I will quote what a person from the Russian community said about this fashion

if suddenly (!) a mod for maintest (!) becomes popular (!), then it will create stereotypes (!!!)?
Damn, if such unlikely events could happen in the universe, then we would have met aliens a long time ago.

[56independent_actual]

I'm discussing fashion, not politics!

I'm not sure what you mean by that or why it is relevant. I assume the meaning got lost in translation.

I assume they mean "We're talking about the mod here, not about how to argue correctly". They should speak in their native language, possibly a slavic language, if we have to resort to guessing what they mean like this. Speaking their native language also allows them to blame us for translating incorrectly if we misinterpret their argument, but since they havent, and as advanced English speakers, we have the high ground here.

This is a man who wants to start a shit and doesn’t wake him up.
Every post is his lie and this is not a personal insult.

Claiming that "every post is his lie" is not acceptable; it is a personal insult, implying intent to mislead, for which I can see no evidence (roughly the same goes for the claim that he "wants to start a shit"). Consider this a warning.

What ill intent i have did not go into that post. I am simply commenting based off my experience of living in a town with buildings built with a government involved in the cold war.

The USSR suffered from gigantomania and this is its distinctive feature. Therefore, it was big and huge in every city. I haven't shown pioneer palaces and theaters yet.

This is how you should have politely disagreed from the beginning: Discuss the content rather than attacking the author and presuming ill intent.

Exactly. I've taken it as personal policy to take any ad hominem attack as a lack of meaningful argument content.

[56independent_actual]

If he is lying in every post of this section and it is true, he was not sent to 3 letters, did not swear with obscenities, did not even argue and did not object.

What are you even saying? Who is "he"? This isn't a Russian poem using Russian meter; this is a testimonial against... someone. If you're speaking English, speak English.

He's probably ashamed because he doesn't answer.

The only thing i'm ashamed of is my A-levels Maths skills, which have already fallen behind. I'm busy studying for A-levels and i don't have the time anymore to eagle-watch the Minetest forums. Just because i don't want to respond to you does not mean i'm resigning. It means i have other things to attend to before i inevitably fall to the floor in both a-levels and IRL intra-personal relationships which should be being built in the first month of A-levels. Don't mind my silence. I've got bigger things to do.

Please, don't fall into internet drama. It's not a good idea. The last time i did it i brewed horribly bad blood and destroyed relationships with people who could be helping me right now. Please, find something else to do. Go improve yourself like i'm trying to.

I'll teach you something i'm trialling; turn selfish and ill intentions into good intentions through convoluted passages and an intense mental gymnastics routine. I want testimonials on my CV so, OBVIOUSLY, the best idea is to make small talk with classmates to make them friends and then maybe ask them for testimonials at the end of the year.

It's the same reason i'm doing what looks like "Freundlichkeit" IRL; it's really just Nützlichkeitfreundlichkeit because if people think of me as helpful, then maybe they'll like me more, thus furthering the above goal.

We don't like criticism, then why are we posting in the public?

Who is "we"? Your secret Telegram group of "5 administrators of Russian servers"?

1 Your name does not match the fashion.

First off, which name? Migdyn? MCL? FMoS? TEMPx86? Some other name that I use on-line?
Second, my job isn't designing fashion garments, but assembling furniture and delivering it to people's homes, so I don't see why my name should "match the fashion", whatever that means.

2 textures are your fantasies and have nothing to do with the USSR.

There are tons of buildings in the USSR that look EXACTLY like that, so stop acting like there aren't.

What was shown in the film or I shot it for you.

Wow, you shot that newsreel in 1984 specifically for me? Before Minetest even existed?

These are documentary chronicles

You mean newsreels?

There are no problems only for those who did not live in the USSR

Not everybody in the SSSR liked it there and many people immigrated.
Also, isn't it kind of funny that this mod was inspired by a resource pack for MineCraft called SovietCraft which happens to have been made by someone from Russia and strangely enough its author had no problem with making a resource pack like that despite being Russian himself... oh, I know - he's not a real Russian.

and thanks to you they will think that this is the USSR

I highly doubt some random MineTest mod that adds building materials will influence people's opinion on what the USSR was like.

it is not logical to throw beads in front of pigs

Not necessarily illogical, just pretty stupid from a logistical standpoint, as the pigs could choke on the beads and die of asphyxiation, and we certainly wouldn't want that to happen, would we?

I could give a link to this section in my chat, your mod was then seen by about 6K people

Sure, do it; it would be free advertising for my mod.
Also, measuring how many people have seen a mod in Kelvins is something I've never seen before, perhaps you could patent that genius idea of yours and sell it to rubenwardy so that he can integrate it into CDB; the enitre world could benefit from your revolutionary way of measuring user interaction.

we 5 administrators of Russian servers discussed this mod in a closed chat, our players did not see it.

Show it to them then.

if suddenly (!) a mod for maintest (!) becomes popular (!), then it will create stereotypes (!!!)?

Except it won't. Minetest in itself is already a very niche engine (and game?) with a very limited userbase. Even if it did become popular, and at the end of the day all this mod does is add a few new nodes for building, so I don't understand your paranoia about this mod creating stereotypes or making people realize that the Soviet Union wasn't nearly as good as you make it out to be.
