6 days later...

This is going to be the last time I put a post here (unless it is related to Oblivion mods). But I want to let everyone know there is a new post in the "Day of a Mouse" blog. It's a touch shorter than the first post. It took me maybe 3 minutes to re-read.

So for those of you who still read my blog, why don't you drop over there!

Inactivity here, but not there!

Hello my fellow readers!

Well I finally came to the decision what I want to do with this blog. I made the choice that is pretty much going to make all my readers quit reading, but oh well.

I am going to blog normally!

Why? well, it's just that I take hiatuses from games (like...Oblivion?) too often. That means I won't be on the prowl for good mods for you guys. Believe me, I found some good mods too, but I think I'll leave it up to you guys.

You suspect I am taking a hiatus now? How dare you make such an assumption!...Yeah, you're right...but this time it's because I got sick of trying to make my character look pretty! I spent hours trying to get my character to look pretty, but no luck and so I just gave up. If anyone has some really pretty character saves drop me an email with some images please :)

Anyways, if you are interested in my "just normal bloggity bloging stuff" blog, then I have added a link in the Navigation panel to a separate blog where you can find it.

Thanks!

An edit about an hour later:

I finished writing the first post on my blog, and it is quite an interesting one, but it is VERY long, so for those who have A.D.D. or are not a fan of reading, I recommend avoiding it.

Maybe a little longer...

Ah, well, I am glad to know me and Desu may be what could be considered friends now. Now, for my followers, don't think she was the bitch in this whole ordeal, I was too...and actually, going back through all my comments, she really not the biggest bitch. I was at the top as I was aggressively attacking her and creating slander about her, which I apologize for. As I stated in my comment in response to what she said, we were basing out arguments off of each others actions which, at least for me, had been passed down through 3rd parties, so, as the game "Telephone" has proven to us all, the story was probably altered, not to mention the peoples bias. So, I apologize for those statements.

Now, pertaining to this blog and what will happen:

Well according to Desu, she has actually been linking people to my blog (which feels like a great honor to me) which means I can't let this blog just gather dust. If I am going to have people come here, then I should keep it tidy, so I will continue to post here. so I have 2 ideas what I will be doing:

1) I have actually wanted to legitimately blog...you know, that thing people do where they talk to a bunch of anonymous people about their boring lives hoping someone gives a damn? Yes, I want to do that. If I do that, I'll create a separate blog for that to keep my life stuff out of the Perfect World of Oblivion.

2)As I mentioned before (I think I did...I might not have) I tend to take short...or sometimes long hiatuses from games. Well after that invite from the crew who wanted my help, it sparked my interest in Oblivion again...though I doubt I will finish my mods as I am too CS illiterate to even think about dealing with the frustrations of the construction set. Anyways, I have been browsing some foreign sites and have found some mods that may interest some of my reads, so I may post links to those mods.

We will see what I do...I may do both, who knows. But in the mean time, enjoy Desu's mods!

Anonymice

Kawa For All

Here is a bit of an update:

I have now removed all passwords from all my hosted mods, except one new mod.

That new mod is Kawa Kahjitts. I will not state names as I am certain the person wishes to remain anonymous, but he found a copy on some obscure website and decided to share it with me. I took a look at the package and it appears to be correct and not a virus, thank Buddha.

However, if you didn't notice, in my last post me and Desu have been having a lovely little chat (that is not suppose to sound sarcastic). So it seems she is working on a new version of the Kawa's. She said it will be ready by next week...but since I am a modder myself (or was a modder), I doubt that estimate is right.

Either way, they will be out soon.

In other news, I was invited to help with a large modding project, which was kind of funny but made me feel proud. But besides that, emails have slowed, so expect Anonymice to be completely through within a few months. By the way, do not email me asking for Persocoms anymore, I stated that Desu has them up. I am sorry it is a large download, maybe she'll listen to the crowd and make a "light" version for you so you don't have to download such a huge file. I don't know, but take it up with her, not me. I cannot tell you how many times I have been mistaken as DesuChan. I am not Desu.

DesuChan's Persocoms RELOADED going down soon!

Ah, I finally noticed Desu is back uploading her work, and with her normal...erm...insanity, we'll leave it at that.

One thing lately that has been bothering me is the use of "Legal" when talking about mods. I wish to correct something in my previous statements before, but before I get to that, let me talk about the main point:

I noticed Desu has upload Persocoms Reconstructed (not exactly an original name, and what makes them different from before is beyond me. Personally I didn't even like the originals much anyways.) but nonetheless, HER work is up and host by her, which means my job here is done...of course, her Demon Huntress, Lolita, and all those other clothing mods aren't back up so until those go back up, I will continue to host those.

To get the new Persocoms go here:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34858

with her incredibly irritating text title shoved in your face in case you are too blind or too stupid to know what you are looking at...lovely.

And since she has those up, tomorrow - or whenever I can get a chance (since I am busy most of the time) I will be taking down my hosted version of Persocoms. I WILL ANSWER ANY UNANSWERED EMAIL THOUGH, however, I will mention her official version is out in my replies so people can choose either the version I have or hers.

And last on this list is a rant:

I have been studying law, and one thing has begun to bother me: The use of the word "legal" when talking about an Oblivion mod. But first, I need to clear something up: Yes, in fact you own your mod - not just the story. Before I said Bethesda owned the mod. HOWEVER, there is NO SUCH THING as copyright on your mods until you file a copyright from the federal government, and I doubt the government would approve it, so now that that has been said, there is NO LEGAL PROTECTION ON A MOD REGARDLESS OF THE GAME, AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK, OR HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT PROTECTED.

Ah, it feels great to say that. And I have only just started my Law education..it's rather fun in fact.

Anyway, enjoy Desu's work (I don't).

A Brief Return

What a shocking amount of emails I had in my inbox! (Actually I am only half way done with all of my emails...)

I have access to possibly the worse internet available next to mobile internet...it's only slightly faster than my mobile's internet connection, so response will be faster than before...but still slow. My goal tonight though is to answer all of my current emails first. I will post in big huge bold text when I am finally up and running again answering questions at quick speeds again.

Oh, but something I feel like I haven't done in awhile is a spotlight, and this man, Gabriel inspired me, and I hope will inspire you:

"Hi there... Please excuse me...but i don't speak english pretty well...I'll try my best anyway...I'm sending this E-Mail to you requesting the password to DesuChan's Persocoms RELOADED 2.0 ...Please... I want them... I'm a fan of DesuChan's Work...I feel pretty sad when all of her work dissapear from Tesnexus...but now you're giving me the chance of getting them again...Thanks....Even if you don't want to send me the password...thanks... Something like that should not be dismissed or removed from the appreciation of her followers ... Work like her's inspire other novice encouraged to move on .... and enter the world of modding ... that's all ... thanks for sharing her work ..."

The last line (In bold and red) I have to respond to as a modder myself, which by the way, my banning from nexus did not deter me from modding...well it did for a minute, but I have picked it up again.

Anyways, modding is a long, frustrating process, but anyone who picks up the Construction Set, I think you deserve a lot of credit, no matter what work you do. Even if you used resources from someone's elses mod to tell YOUR own story I still think you deserve a fair amount of credit (There is a limit to that, you can't just take resources from one mod and just slap in different locations with hardly a change to your mod...I don't feel you deserve any credit for that.)

If any of my readers make mods themselves, please, send me an email with links to your work! I will host those links here, because believe me, I get a lot of traffic here, and mods I host I am certain quite a big chunk of my traffic will be interested in the work.

Those who haven't picked up the construction set, I recommend downloading it (It's free off the official TES4 website, just google search "TESIV Construction Set") and DEFINATELY join the official Bethesda forums! They help me a lot with problems I have with mods and modding! Do not be shy of the resources available to you.

And if you need help with modding, I am willing to help too. I am not incredibly proficient at modding, but I know a fair bit of modding to get by.

Anyways, thanks to all the people for being patient.

Email Delay

I apologize to anyone who had to wait for a week or more on their email responses! This is not because you did anything wrong, but it is because currently I am handling some life business which has me rather preoccupied, and unfortunately it will continue until this weekend more than likely, and even after, I will not have internet for a week or more, so I wanted to let you guys know in advance, response may be slow (fortunately my phone can access email, but it will be slow, so response will still come rather slowly).

Thank you ALL for being patient!

PS:

I received a couple of emails that did not follow the guidelines I mentioned. I have today answered all emails (or at least gave a response to you saying you are on a waiting list) today that I have. if you didn't receive a response, you didn't read thoroughly. I recommend you all read the onsite version of the agreement as it is more up to date, plus I highlighted the key things in it so for those of you who have issues focusing and staying put may be able to skim through and get the gist of what is being said.

Thank you very much!

Concerning the New Layout

An edit from the previous:

A friend translated the legal agreement to Russian for me and it is now available!

Hello my fellow people. Things have settled down a lot around here and it is great. Makes focusing on what to do and how to do things better. Now I am normally not one to make such kind of threats such as the one I made on the previous post about continuing my exploitations as long as you guys continue to harass me about my choice, but nonetheless, it was something I felt done because some of you could not be mature about my actions and insisted to bug me.

Now there has been no final word if Desu will or won't be uploading her mods, but as some of the people who have contacted me, is that my choice of waiting is a good choice because her past shows us she will more than likely not pull through. Me and a fellow pointed out pros and cons, and truth and facts on her and my exploitations and ofcourse as I pointed out there are things wrong about what I do, but I have made my choice: I am not taking the mods down until I have final word from her in my email that she has put them back up. Why my email? because then no one can pose as her. I know her email address, so it's going to be impossible to pose as her to protect her...unless you hack her email account to email me, but that crosses the line of mod-ethics here. I am not going around invading peoples privacies to do what I want.

Anyways, enough of that. Anyone else sick of reading about this dispute as much as I am? I am sick of typing the same points over and over again just reworded. If you don't understand what I am talking about then it is not your place to be to argue.

As I am sure everyone noticed (for the commoners of my blog) I re-did the layout. Things started getting messy so I decided to to reorder things to make things cleaner and more eye appealing. Now on the left side you will find 2 nav links. One links to the page where I list all the mods I have exploited and the other links to the "legal" agreement (which states what I am doing and makes a request that I hope you follow). This way you guys don't have to download that agreement anymore, you can just read it online. I would actually prefer you read it online because it is more up to date, plus I am hoping to get a fellow friend right a russian translation of it, and over time I am hoping to collect it in a few different languages. I feel I can pay back the Korean modding community since they are the ones who provided all of Desu's mods for me in the first place, so I hope a fellow Korean will translate the legal agreement for me :)

Also on the download page I put a little slide show to help add to Desu's image works. The slideshow showcases all of the mods I have exploited, and as of right now, all that I have exploited are Desu's mods, so you get to see that on the Download page.

Also, on the right hand side of the site you will also find a search to search my blog for something specific - you know, if I said something stupid in the past and you wish to use that against me just use the nifty little search box to find it. Also I put a translator for my fellow foreigners. Not everyone can read english, and not every Englishman can read other languages, so I put a little translator there. Just copy specific lines of text and paste them in the text field, then select the language you wish to translate it to and click translate and like magic Google will give you a rough translation of it - it is up to you at that point to translate the rough translation into a much easier to understand translation.

So, I hope you like it. I am hoping to host my own mods here soon, once all the fire and ect has ended.

But, until then, there is no other news to report, so I hope you guys have a good rest of summer for those of you enjoying being out of school, as for the workforce who doesn't get out for summer...well...I hope you atleast enjoy your days.

The Last Post...well..maybe...

It's nice not being flamed for once. I understand why some of you are angry, and I can understand where Desu herself is coming from...though quite personally, after I left Oblivion I gave free rights to let people do whatever they want to the mods I made. As one of the posters say: Mods were meant for enjoymentl; throw too much of this "legal" stuff in and it's just not fun, or enjoyable anymore.

I am gone from the modding community, so what do I care what happens to my mod? I made a good statement to many about what MY REAL work is and so I am certain those who did enjoy the mods I made will support my work; as for myself; I don't care.

Desu I have a special little end note for you here (and yes it is polite, contrary to my previous statements about you). But I want to quickly start off with a statement from a commenter on my last post:

(the guy quoting me.)

"You risk getting a lawsuit".

Haha. For banning you? You have a lot to learn.

(the guy quoting me again.)

"It is true, there is no real law that protects modders work."

It's called copyright. Bethesda own the rights to ESP and ESM files only. They don't own the rights to user created content such as textures, meshes, animations or storylines and anyone who told you otherwise has no clue what they are talking about. But nice try.

(my response)

Anonymous user; please don't make such swift judgement. My explanation of them getting a law suit is not from me, do you take me as that dumb?

I am not so crazy as to file a law suit over such a trivial matter. In no way have I taken offense to the actual banning.

The lawsuit is that there are crazy people who can take offense to their actions and when they step out of line - as they are a business - they risk getting a lawsuit. (Like there was a lawsuit against McDonalds because a person spilled coffee on themselves and it was hot...people will sue over some of the most dumbest things.)

Secondly, the copywrite law protects peoples own creations. In no way is there a mod that is entirely your own creation except maybe the utilities such as Wrye. However the .esp mods and .esm mods uses Bethesdas creations, so in that sense, we do have permission to use these pieces they have made, we can use their game, their engine, ect so long as it stays inside their game and no other game is put into their game, however, they own full right to a modders creation, not the original author. In your mind you can say you own it in full because you are the creator but that would only be true in a perfect world. Bethesda owns all the mods.

(At this point I forgot to say something and this really bugged me so I made a second response)

lastly; if you read, it was the people fighting me with fire that motivated me to go longer. So, if you are going here to fight me with fire, then what result will you expect in the end? Please read everything before making a judgement. Doctors don't just read half of a patients chart before declaring it is cancer, you should not do the same before declaring I am a beast, and should not try to remedy the situation if you do not know how to fight the situation. If I continue my actions, there is no one to blame but the people who motivate me to continue.

If you come here to remedy the situation, I will give you a hint: Don't use fire to fight this fire.

(Lastly an anonymous user posted on the last topic too - though this one has a much lighter note than the others.)

I thank you for giving me the opportunity of downloading DesuChans mods i really appreciate it ^^

I have no problem with helping you find this wonderful mod; as many others are thankful just like you (I have an inbox with 50+ emails to prove it). Unfortunately, it - apparently - pisses off a certain party that someone is polite enough to say thank you. Where did the civil society go when people feel that manners and politeness are rude and wrong? Infact that has a rather ironic sense to it...that's kind of backwards.Anyways, I have to say; don't thank me.

Lastly, I have my kind hearted message for Desu...unfortunately I tried emailing you but my email just got rejected and bounced back to me...sad day.

I do apologize for being such a prick. Hopefully you have enough sense in you to understand this actually - hopefully most of your hate towards me was because I used poor judgement and threw slander at you based of prejudices gathered second hand from outside parties about you. This was wrong of me to jump to a conclusion about you, and normally I do not make jumps as such about people, but nonetheless, I hope you can atleast forgive me for my slander; and I will agree with you on the ego. Yes, I have a bit of one, but having one is better than not having one at all. I find it better to be happy more often than being sad, so I do what I can to keep my boat afloat.

Anyways, it's good to know this whole thing can come to an end; quite frankly I am tired of it. This whole thing is just more on my already full plate. Still, I have people to take care of so I will not remove the mods until the day your mods are up.

Lastly; since this blog is a free-to-post blog, anyone can respond, you understand this right? Meaning anyone can take anyones name, so you have to understand my distrust as you can be a potential poser. Please do not pull a "Nexus" and deal with matters as such in a public area. Confirm you are desu by making our conversation private.

Anyways, enjoy the mods! and I suppose since the links are now sunk way down this blog: Anyone who is new to my blog know there are some links for DesuChan's Persocoms Reloaded and her other lovely mods in some posts prior to this one, just go back a month.

(sorry Desu - it's business. and will continue to be business until your mods are up; which I eagerly await this day)

Closure

Rejoice fellow haters!

I will be closing up shop! Now? no. Tomorrow? no. Next week? Doubtable. In A month? More than likely.

There is no solid proof, but I recieved a comment here on the forum from DesuChan. I do not 100% believe it is, but I can say about 85% of me believes it is and she gave word she will be reuploading the mods in about a month. So until that time comes my little business here will be open, but once I get confirmation those mods are up, I will remove her mods from my mediafire.

Don't go getting a big head now, however, it's not because all the flaming and the "moderator" who came here is the reason I am closing down. No, quite the contrary, the words you guys said motivated me to keep it open longer quite frankly. When you fight fire with fire, you only get worst results: keep that in mind children.

No, instead I talked to a fellow friend of mine on the Official forums. They're open expression of their thoughts on mod exploitation gave me full closure on accepting that it is time to close down. Surprisingly the conversation wasn't up in flames, it was peaceful and calm - no hate. He understood my side of the story, understood my intentions, ect. He disagreed with what I did, but he did not think it is entirely this terrible thing.

It is true, there is no real law that protects modders work. Technically your work that you make is owned by Bethesda, if you want to be technical about ownership. It is just a courtesy to not steal. Atleast I wasn't making new mods by ripping Desu's stuff from her mods and putting it in my mod without permission and without credit: I still credited her, and I didn't even touch the mod. I did repackage them a little differently so people can also view the "Redistribution Readme" so people understood full and well what they were doing.

Also, a fellow follower said a beautiful line that really sums up this whole situation.

""Please stop distributing mods without permission of the author. Not only is it rude to the author, but stuff like this usually ends up causing modders to leave the community entirely because of inconsiderate jerks like yourself."

This part of your quote is so backwards, I can't believe you actually think like that. IF a mod must be hosted elsewhere outside of the authors preferred methods, it means the author doesn't want it released... which in turn means people already don't have access to the authors mods. Distributing elsewhere shows the author that there is a demand for the mods and people are willing to go through extremes to use said mod. At this point, it is the AUTHOR ruining the community by being so secretive with regards to free mods on a GAME that people simply want to enjoy. People appreciate the work of good authors and want to be able to use their mods, it is retarded to create private mods." ~Accordian

I would wish this could have been handled slightly more civilaly though, nonetheless, it is over.

For those of you who put in a request:

To the anonymous user on post: "A Boost In Popularity"

I am sorry, I am not familiar with the mods in the picture, though the sky looks beautiful. Ask around on the forums, you'll find answers, or I am sure some people here who stalk my blog would be capable of answering.

To Zero who commented on the post: "On The Search"

I did find Friends And Lovers 1.51 in english, however, I am not 100% certain, but I do believe that the original author is still active. The work I do (did) was finding dead mods that are no longer easily accesible due to the original author removing them, and I reupload them.

Lastly, I remember someone mentioning somewhere that reuploading these mods are bad because if the original author updated them the reuploads won't be updated properly.

Yes, well, as mentioned in the above paragraph, I don't take active modders work. DesuChan was no longer an active modder. She removed all her files, and people loved her work. So, I reuploaded them.

So I hope you guys enjoy. I will continue to answer your emails. As for you "LHammond", I would expect more professionalism out of the Nexus to actually take the time to communicate through a more private means. Since this blog is open to anyone being able to post, even if not a blogspot user, I do not believe you are a real moderator. No matter the offense a user has done (unless that person has literally killed your staff) then there is no excuse for a lack of professionalism. Even when I am frustrated at customers I don't retaliate at them with anger. I calmly express my thoughts. Though in this case there is no real means of telling your emotions you put in, as text does not properly convey these emotions entirely. However, in this case I would expect the Nexus to take the time to write an email and send it to me. If you have the ability to know that I have two profiles there is no excuse for you not to know my email that I signed up with to the Nexus.

Please, children, be professional about things!

I will be contacting you, Nexus, to get a real response. I expect it to be done civilized and professional. My response will be as professional as your response should be. And believe me, I don't just say this out of my own frustration. I can tell you that a lack of a professionalism is a good way to loose business and you risk getting a law suit.

Oh, and seriously: This is th elast thing, but people who wish to try to communicate to me about serious matters on my choices who are directly affected by my actions: Please realize this blog is open to anyone to respond; meaning anyone could pose as anyone. So communicate with me in a proper way to show proof it is not a fake so I can either read your words or just fluff you off because I don't believe you are the real person. Remember, on the internet others cannot see your face (unless you are using a webcam).

Take care all and remember to send those emails!

A Word:

Let's just jump to spotlight starting at the top and going down:

"Let me explain it in plain words. Distributing another person's files without permission is rude and against the beliefs of nearly everyone in the modding community. Not just one site. It doesn't matter how you distribute those works, it is still wrong, you know it, yet you do it. You were banned from TESN not because of some strict policy, but because of a handful of simple and practical rules. No multiple accounts. No uploading other people's work without permission. No disrespecting site staff or other modders (assuming we're all apparently stupid and unable to find your blog). These rules are common sense and fair for the vast majority of people in the community.

You clearly don't seem to get it."

I don't think I made this clear; but when I was talking about their strict policy I was a little bit refering to my situation; yes, but about others too. But the line where you said "assuming we're all apparently stupid" isn't right. If you read properly, you would have noticed my key words to set apart those who are dumb, and those who are not. I said most, please read that word again: most. This means a high percentage, but not all. Additionally, in no way did I NOT want you to find my blog, quite the contrary I WANTED people to find my blog. I did all I could to make it so good searches, ect would turn my blog up near the first page.

Anyways, I am not going to continue that argument, let alone any other argument her. I am mature enough to argue over the internet, that is just plain silly! Besides, as if us arguing would ever change each others views, so let's move on so I can say my final worlds to everyone.

"Greetings from one of the TESNexus staff. Do you honestly believe that we would allow multiple personalities on the forums? Play by the rules with one account and act like an turd with another? One of our common steps when banning community abusers is to see if we can find alternate accounts they use...and yes, that is how your other account got toasted. You know that you got busted and your other account simply went with it. In the future, I suggest you act online like you would in person...hopefully that doesn't include multiple personalities with different views of right and wrong."

Drama is bad for business so I will try to make this one short: Thank you for contacting me finally! :) I really do appreciate it. Was it so hard to do? Though, I would have expected more professionalism out of you by emailing me at that accounts email; but I suppose beggars can't be choosers. Now I did leave a comment in response to your actions, but I said a few things incorrectly, so ignore that: Nonetheless, the point is: try not to jump to conclusions so fast. In no way did I try to act as a different person, in no way did I try to believe in one thing while my "other personality" as you call it, believed in another. This wasn't some little joke I was running here! Oh please at least give me the credit I deserve for planning; because I knew I would get found out, I figured I would get banned (wasn't 100% sure though), I knew it was wrong, and I knew people would not like me. I knew all this stuff, because I have at least half a braincell, and god I hope more than that.

"Not only did you abuse common courtesy towards a modder by going against her wishes, but you also created a SECOND accout at Nexus in which to do it! Both of these are bannable offences by themselves. Are you really that dumb to think you won't be found out? The staff have lots of ways they can find stuff out, stuff you never see on the public pages.

I've spoken to DesuChan and she has said that she will be posting her mods back up as soon as she fixes some problems on her computer. This effectively renders your silly little blog useless and your bannings for nothing.

Ha ha, you lose!"

It hurts to know that my plight was simply "dumb" in the eyes of the people. Again: I didn't just rush into action, I knew the consequences and the benefits. And as I mentioned in the comment towards your comment: This whole thing (the exploitation) was NEVER, EVER to gain the respect from other people, to steal credit, or otherwise be an all around ass by using exploitation to my advantage. If, in fact, what you say about DesuChan coming back is true, then GREAT! In fact, I couldn't be any more thrilled! Let me know when she does so I can remove her mods from my sight. If you guys want to judge "dumb, stupid, ect" on me and my little operation here, then please, first read my actions, my plans and ideas before making judgement so you can understand why I make my actions a little bit better.

But before I wrap up my words to you: There was no winner or loser, because this was never about winning in the first place. It was about helping people find dead mods easier.

in conclusion to this whole event: It doesn't offend me. Not only have I mentioned that I knew this was coming, but I also really don't play Oblivion much, so not being able to go to the Nexus isn't a big deal to me (besides, I guarantee I will be able to get back in on a separate account if I cared enough). However, I can negotiate with you guys at the Nexus if you want me to stop that bad, but I have a feeling you guys don't care what my actions are outside of the site, so since you don't care now about my actions, and you can't really ban me any more than I already am banned, then...I suppose I will continue to do my little job here.

Happy modding guys :)

The Gig is Up!

I can't express my frustrations towards TES Nexus in words, and I feel my physical action wouldn't suffice either.

They banned my other account from the entire Nexus! Why? I don't know, which makes it all the more frustrating they didn't even take the time to contact me why they would ban me!

Listen up kiddies: Every community is a group of people where each other can relate to each other. Ofcourse it has it's shady side where there are people who do things that seemingly harm the community. There has to be a common balance between the people who don't exploit the community and those who do, otherwise things get out of hand and inevitably cause the fall of the community.

This whole thing, of course, is based on freewill and choice. People have to take action against others when someone has done wrong, but just because you made a choice with how to deal with them and prevent it in the future, doesn't necessarily mean it is right, and in the case of reality, doesn't necessarily mean it is humane either. In this case, it is unethical the decisions that a "Dictatorship" like community makes.

TES Nexus is the largest Oblivion Mod hosting website, next to Planet Elder Scrolls. Though I feel the real impact on this chain of power obviously, and sadly, starts at TES Nexus, then to the Official Forums, then to Planet Elder Scrolls. So at the top of this chain, the one who has the most power is the Nexus, who has willingly made choices that have effected the entire community, starting at the top of this chain and going down. While some, I believe, were right, I also believe their realization with their power can also be consuming subconsciously. They have used their freewill to STRICTLY enforce the rules they have implemented which then sets an example for all those below them (though I feel the official forums wouldn't never be effected near as dramatically then anywhere else).

There is no balance in power, and these people who decide the choices of the community are leading too strictly, trying their best to eliminate exploitation of the community. This, in turn, is causing the potential downfall of the Oblivion modding community.

Yeah a bit of a rant...and at times I had no idea what I was really ranting about, but nonetheless, the point is: I am so frustrated they have made such a decision with no notice why. Did they know that that account was also anonymice? Possibly, but if they have half a braincell (which some of the Nexus moderators I feel don't even have a quarter of a braincell) they'd know I wouldn't dare exploit anyones mods on that account! Thats why I am exploiting ANONYMOUSLY! Because I know it's not right, but there is a time and place for everything, and when the want for DesuChan's Persocoms was greater than the want for it to only be uploaded by Desu, I decided to take action, but I would never do this on my own account because I know it is wrong, and I have mods of my own!

Sometimes I feel the people who control the Nexus are hardly worthy of that position as they seem rather incapable of make decisions, or right decisions. Their judgement is low, and common sense is even lower. If this offends anyone, I apologize, it is simply my view, and please note I am not saying all of them are like that, just some of them.

Nonetheless, this is bad news for you guys, I will not be continuing my exploitation until I get a response from the Nexus as to why they banned my account. Hopefully that will be late tomorrow which will basically make it feel like I never stopped by little business anyways.

in the mean time, have a nice day. Emails will not be responded to for a short while.

A Boost in Popularity!

Well, I got the bright idea of uploading a link to my blogspot and my media fire links on Planet Elderscrolls. I am not going to bash PES anymore, because unlike TES Nexus, I did not get banned for uploading Desu's stuff...but they did take it down, so only a few people were lucky and I got a little exposure, but still I am in an endless pursuit to find a wait to expose myself to the modding community.

After uploading to PES, I recieved 13 emails all requesting downloads! It's great! I love you guys! Nonetheless, that leaves approximately 25 people who know about Anonymice Exploit, and I guarentee only about 5 of them actively discuss my exploitation to me; either using my blog or through email.

Oh well, anyways. I am still on the look out for a few mods, though I got kind of lazy and haven't really bothered with anything Oblivion related at all (including digging up some mods).

Let's just jump to the spotlight time (I got a lot)

an anonymous poster commented on my last blog post:

"Good thing to see you back in action, also go for the studies I know what you're talking about."

Well, Mister Anonymous, I never really stopped bein in action ever since I got the idea of exploiting. Just the Nexus decided to quell me by banning me and removing the links and available download from the Nexus file I made for DesuChan's Persocoms RELOADED 2.0. Ever since then I have tirelessly tried to find another way around it. Starting with this blogspot, then my most recent attempt was PES, which both aren't very effective. Even a google search using advanced searching techniques such as: "+Anonymice+Oblivion+Mod+Blogspot" still doesn't have me come up on even the first page...which is also why I type out full mod names when I am talking about them such as DesuChan's Persocoms RELOADED 2.0. That way, the more times it occurs the easier people will locate my blogspot.

Zero commented on my last blog post:

"Can you find friends and lovers 1.51 English? The only version of 1.51 is in Russian. However, I believe an English translation was uploaded to the nexus temporarily and was then removed due to the "nature" of the mod. I have been looking for it for some time."

I love how Oblivion has become like a porno...I can't say I don't have a few of these types of mods myself though, so I am not judging. I found a english, uncensored version not too long ago so it shouldn't be too hard for me to fish up and resurrect.

Pretty much everyone who emails me, but let's point fingers at Pat for a minute:

"Thanks a billion man! :) it's sucks that she took her mods down :("

Hey guys, I love appreciation towards me! I probably like it more than I should, but I want you guys to understand: I AM NOT THE CREATOR OF THESE MODS. Please respect them but giving them full credit for their work...or most credit given to them, and just a touch given to thank me for fishing them up.

But thank you you guys for the appreciation.

PS:

I got an email from a Persocom user asking about them. I provided him some links for CM mods that require DesuChan's Persocoms RELOADED 2.0. If anyone likes partners I got some good links for you!

First, if you don't know what a CM mod is, you will need Blackie's CM partners

CM Partners by Blackie:

Below are links for partners or save files that require the DesuChan's Persocoms RELOADED 2.0 mod.

(All these links are links to their original author. None of these are my exploitations or ANYONE elses exploitations. You must be part of the Nexus to download these mods.)

PPS:

Marian (you should know who you are) may I ask who you are? I don't mind adding people to my Yahoo! profile, but I don't use it. If you want to keep up with my work, add this blog to your favorites, or if you have your own blogspot, then follow me!

On The Search

It has been awhile guys, and I apologize. I have studies to take care of.

Anyways, there is nothing much to cover, except I just wanted to let you guys know I am still kickin'.

I can see the Persocoms still are a rage, according to this latest mod added to the Nexus.

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=32370

It is so tempting to leave a comment there letting them know about me, but if I do that, I am afriad people will get suspicious my not-anonymous profile will be thought of as Anonymice too, thus ruining my reputation and so people will no longer respect me and won't support my work.

I know only a couple of you read this, but if you read it, leave these guys a comment or so. If you get in trouble with the law there, plead guilty and that you didn't think you'd get in trouble (because in all honesty, I don't know if you would or not. It's not like you are the one reposting the mod anyways...)

Anyways, spotlight time!

Aaron sent me an email

"I also hate to be the only one requesting things, but this mod is highly recommended on lists and isn't on the Nexus any more. It's called Better Signs. Supposively it was an unfinished mod that was released anyways and combined with Improved Signs and Weathered Direction Signs really makes the game look good. Obviously, with as much work as you've done filling my requests, this is the last thing on my mind, but if you're looking for suggestions, here is one. Please take your time and obviously, if you are attending to personal issues, take care of them first. This is clearly an act of charity and no one should overstep their bounds."

Don't worry about being the only one requesting. There are only a few who read this. I tried google searching a few key words on google to see how many pages into a google-web search my blogspot comes up on and it's several pages back, unfortunately. Anyways, I know it was awhile since you made the request and believe me I haven't forgotten. I have been falling behind a little in my studies, so I need to take care of that before all my money I put into college goes to waste.

And as I can tell, you understand, and I want to make sure everyone here understands, I am doing this "as an act of charity". I am not being paid to do this, if anything I am loosing peoples respect and risking my reputation to do this, so among anything else, you should most definately give me time.

Moving on:

My and David had a short little chat via email and he made a good point about DesuChan's Persocoms:

"Where's the link to the download?"

Good point David! Silly me forgetting that! So for anyone browing Google looking for DesuChan's Persocoms Reloaded 2.0, I have your link right here!

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qe5djzn4m32

unfortunately, as you might have noticed you can't download DesuChan's Persocoms without a password...or for that matter, any of DesuChan's mods I have uploaded to my mediafire account.

If you are new to the way I run business around here, then start here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?umwyl5gymdu

See anyone who is new: I am not some ass hole who just rips peoples stuff and redistributes it because I am some jerk who doesn't care about people. Quite the contrary I do care, and for that fact I am reviving dead, removed mods that were made with the utmost quality. It is to praise the authors work! And so I take good measure to do whatever I can to prevent theft of these mods for as long as I can (though it is inevitable...I am just slowing it).

Take care!

PS: I am still searching for Kawa Kahjiits too.

PPS: I changed it so anyone can comment, even if you don't have a blogger! Rejoice!

A New List

This went surprisingly fast. I didn't think I would get them all so fast, but I found one download link that lead me to the next, to the next, and to the next. I found a bunch of Desuchan stuff...all but those damn Kahjiits - which is still on my list, but anyways, we have a new list of passwords and so forth, but before I get to putting that up, I got some bad/good news...it's both bad and good. I redid my redistribution rules, so if you all wouldn't mind just clicking the link below this sentence and downloading the text document, so you can understand how this is working now (no extremely drastic changes to how to get the mod, but now that there are multiple mods - meaning mulitple passwords - I changed a couple of things.)

now that you are done there, here are the new links! Sorry to arron, I was thinking of putting them all into one package for you, but then decided "nah" cause I can be lazy like that. so here they are:

DesuChan's Anime Eyes (Reported not working)

As I think I have proven, I am capable at doing this task of necromancy :)

So, lets get off of DesuChan, I am sick of seeing her narcissistic crap she has posted all over the internet. A pet peeve of my is people thinking they are photographers "shooting" their Oblivion character. I study Photography, I am a photographer. Her work outside of modding looks more like angsty teen emo fantasies.

So, feel free to ask for any mod (yes even if it is one of Desu's....) and give me sometime and I will get it up!

SPOTLIGHT TIME!

Arron said in a comment on the last post:

"The clothes are way more important, so that's great. As for the language of the mod not being in english, well, I already use Beautiful People 2ch and that's jap only, so any language is fine.

Thanks for looking, I've tried looking myself, I guess you're just better at looking for mods than I am."

fortunately the language doesn't really matter for clothing mods, but on other mods, like quests and the likes it may not be best if in a different language....and sometimes this includes races too. And, I am "pro" when it comes to searching :) I usually know just the right key words to get me the results - usually not on the first page though, I usually have to dig around the pages, and this doesn't exactly pertain to just google. Sometimes my digging requires me to start a google, but branch off into other sites. Believe me, when I am tasked with a job, I dedicate my time to satisfy the people who need :)

Enjoy the new mod list!

PS. Unlike Persocoms, none of these mods have been tested to see if they actually work. I did check the folder structure before repackaging them, and they looked complete, but let me know if there are any problems. Additionally, when I was making the tiny-urls I was having a little difficulty, so just let me know if a link doesn't work :)

again: enjoy!

Anonymice

More DesuChan

Well it's been great talking to you guys who have emailed me - some of you are rather nice people. Nonetheless, we had our first problem where the OMOD didn't seem to work. I believe I have fixed that problem, but if not, then I will be told why pretty swiftly.

For those of you new to my blog, I am a humble many simply pulling a little necromancy on some dead mods. However, recently it came to my attention that if I do this on every dead mod, I will become one of thos Exploiters I continually talk about - those exploiters who don't care about the system or the Author. So a new rule I am adding is that if the mod can easily be rediscovered either by doing a google search or searching elsewhere, then I will not redistribute that mod.

I got the idea when I was digging through tons of pages on Google for the infamous Kawa Kahjiit, and surprisingly 2 different links - one on the first search page one on the second) DesuChans Anime eyes came up. It is in this case I see it is easy to retrieve these mods again and in no form should require my help to get them. I am not such a terrible person that I will just distribute whatever the hell I want, because my original motive of uploading Persocoms was because it was so hard to find - and to my knowledge there is only one download link that unfortunately it is split into 4 archives that you have to merge together. To some, merging archives is no big deal, but there are 2 things; I think downloading multiple parts for one mod is a rather large inconvenience, and two, some people don't know how to merge archives and it could be a large inconvenience too. (Honestly, Persocoms was the first mod I had to do it to and it took me a whole minute to figure it out)

Anyways, moving on; Let's see some of my comments and message I feel are important to shine light on

Aaron said in a comment on the last post;

If you have any of Desuchan's other mods, please post them. Mainly...

02-Shiki Armor Recoloured
Indigo Armor Recoloured
Desuchan's Stealth Gear
Desuchan's Lolita Finery
Desuchan's Demon Huntress
Desuchan's Macabre Dancer

She also had another Khajitt race, I think. I managed to find the Persocoms on a japanese mod site, but I can't find any of her other mods.

Well Aaron good news and bad news; I can find those clothing mods. I ran across a download link the other day when I was searching for the Kawa Kahjiits - there was only one english download so as you can imagine I am willing to redistribute. But speaking of the Kawa Kahjiits, that leads me into the bad news. I have searched and searched and I am having no luck finding a non-TES Nexus download link, and so sadly I believe this might be the only mod she was able to pull from existance. But I will not stop my search entirely, it is now not the highest priority though. Next!

mike said in a comment on the last post;

I have to thank you for this even tho it feels kinda shady, but i don't think any one has the right to take anything off the internet. Once its posted its there 4 good weather u like it or not. so thanks again for this Anonymice.

I like to be a shady guy :) Actually, it feel forced to do this; as you may have noticed when I did this on TES Nexus I got a lot of flame. If I was a modder, nearly no one would download my mods because of the reputation I built, so out of safety I created and alternate nexus account! I chose to remain anonymous so that way people will still download my mods that I make, while keeping the flame posed on "someone else". Anyways, on with replying to the rest of the comment; obviously - so far - the Kawa Kahjiits have proved the idea of "Once it is posted it is there for good" wrong, but like I said, I will continue my efforts to find it - you guys may have to deal with it if I find it in a different language though, because by the way, I cannot even find a download link for it in another language!

lastly in my time to shine light on people, let's put it on me for a whole second; I forgot to mention, while I can still access the Nexus to download mods, and post my own mods, they did ban me from the forums. Not that I actually care about the forums themselves, it's that a lot of people contact me about issues with my mods IN the forums PM system, which I can no longer access. In all battles there are casualties, and I took the bullet for the wonderful people :)

I'll have another update when I get those new mods uploaded! So look forward to that. However, I have been having personal life issues going on, so cut me some slack on my response time.

It's disappointing to see that the Nexus has decided to ban me, but, that was to be expected. I knew exactly what was going to happen the moment I started the alternate account (let's just hope they didn't ban my IP). I figured if I get a few people who know about me, I might be able to help get the Exploiter idea off the ground.

I am kind of disappointed...cause I even did art work for my little role I am playing here...not that it was good artwork, I slapped it together in less than an hour.

Anyways, as the exploiter knows, there are many mods that have been stripped from the Oblivion modding community. Again, I will not redistribute these mods hoping to steal their fame - I like being known as the bad guy to other mods, but to the rest, I am Anonymice the person who exploits these mods, not steals their fame. So if there are any dead mods you wish to see come back to life, let me know at my email (which will be at the bottom here) I will see if I can wake the dead and bring it back to life.

This did start with DesuChans Persocoms. Bless her work, it was a wonderful mod, that I felt it was unfair she took it from everyone because she can't take a little criticism and that facts that in a community are exploiters. As I said, there are bunches of other exploiters, and I want to prevent that, too many is a bad thing, and really it is a bad thing to do when the mod is still active!

So, recommend dead mods or request the download password from me, and who knows, once I see people are abusing the system, I might remove the password.
