RogueRepublic also didn't share their work and only showcased it. LordGood also keeps back his work at times, and haven't I already published my recent storehouse improvements, footprint and obstruction fixes, re-UV mappings, template fixes? I've also worked on several parts for 0AD, I tried to help, and I always tried to add things, while Niek reverts things, randomly removes my code comments, deletes ModDB entries of me, which means that people can never read what I really wrote and only listen to what he sa. This all is more offense than I can take. I did even state, that the mods will be continued as Addons, which means that essentially nothing changes, but the name (Niek's own words and he is right but strangely he still deleted my announcement despite this not really being anything that was a decision against the council). I already feel that Skhorn has gotten that misfortunate announcement of me wrong and probably also other councillors, despite probably never having read it. Thus I retire from not only the Council's core that I wanted to abolish for pure equality but also from CoM. I know that I'm nit-picky but you are no less nit-picky with me. I also modeled the Egyptian pharao, at least tried to help with the Mod selector GUI and also modeled Liu Bang. It's not that I don't share things. I'm convinced of Open source and I'll provide 0AD Extended sources when the first version is being released. I have enjoyed being part of the Council, but recent misfortunate mishaps require me to settle things and I thus retire and concentrate on fixing engine lag and other things. It'll take a long time anyway, but the 0AD team is not willing to motivate Philip to do so, so we have no other choice.
