Rewrite it without abbreviations and shorthand and I'll read it.

Moderators are hired for their ability to moderate the population (hence the name, moderator). They are not hired to host events. That said, many of them do host events because they enjoy it. By demanding events, you pretty much ensure that things will be hosted less often (it's simple human nature).

It's online as of 8:00 PM EST. I don't know anything about the intervening hours.

Fixed. Thanks for the notification.

WTF? No star trek on that list?

Unless Arnk and I both get a *lot* of free time in the next few weeks, it's not likely to happen.

I haven't hosted it lately because I never got good feedback about turf.

Flagging is our core goal. Things have been removed when they interfere with flagging. There's nothing more to the story. Bountying was leading to long and boring flag games, so it was removed. That's why so many of the things in your post were changed: to change the economic incentives...

Some of the continuum files (zone.dat specifically) might be set to read only.

Then you've let rumors and lies affect your playing. The reset isn't happening anytime soon.

That's the exact reason I don't announce it. Bricks and fields going everywhere isn't anyone's idea of fun.

You may be quite sure, but I think you're quite wrong.

The question of random shrapnel or predictable shrapnel can't be decided at the bomb level. It's every bomb having random shrapnel, or no bomb having it.

Revealing a reset date would cause havoc in the week leading up to the reset. After all, why play? Why not spend *ALL* of your money on fields and bricks? Chaos would ensue. This is why I never reveal a reset, even to staff members (e.g. sharpflame). I always announce it on the forums. That's sort of like the mailing list suggestion. We generally wait until we have some new changes to put in before resetting, as that's the easiest time to see how they'll do. We've got some changes slated for the reset, but they aren't quite ready. We won't reset until they are. Hence, even I don't know exactly when it'll happen, so don't ask.

You shouldn't remember the good without the bad. Way back then, there were no flag games. Zero, none.

No, we don't have any need for item ideas. Item names are welcome (in a different thread). Since this thread is very off topic, I'll close it. If anyone has mini-base related comments, just start a new thread (possibly with a link back to this one).

Gar, that's not true at all. Lets see... Not a discussion on improving things. Discussion on why things are "bad", but not a way to improve things. Also not a way to improve things. Sorry, 0/3. You fail.

Jackpot rewards are probably low because the teams are always stacked. We may look into using a flag count somewhere between 20 and 5.

Yes it is a rumor. The mini base is being nerfed with the intention of eventual removal, but all of your facts are *wrong*. The reasoning, the timeframe, etc.

There's no rule. There was a 3-4 month average on the old item set, but that's no longer the case. And I still have no idea where you got the two resets from.

2 resets? 7 months? Heh. I'm the only one that decides when resets happen... and I usually don't have a clue when they'll be...

Commercial funding would kill HS. I would feel obligated to provide support rather than work on it as a hobby. This means I'd quickly get frustrated and drop it entirely.

Addition like that really wouldn't work for all bombs. There's no reason not to buy something like that when you've got tac, since the energy difference is minor.

Removed the junk from the thread.
