3,4,7, 8 all look very similar, at least from above. They all look a lot like the SS Lancasters. Except for the similarity, they look quite good. Nice job.
-
can we also extend this to the forums to get rid of this shit and the faggot youtube sigs I was only talking about the forum. I assume his netban is still in place. I wasn't thorough enough with the IP block. Fixed it now, and banned his summerglau account for good measure. Also removed the awful sig.
-
It was Arry. Fixed the ban to cover his new IP, and hopefully any more he can easily get.

I feel that Hyperspace takes player input on a great many things (probably more than other zones), but resets are not one of those things.
-
You can discuss it until the cows come home, but realize that players have never, ever had any input whatsoever into resets. This is for the very simple reason that it would throw the zone economy into chaos if anyone knew when a reset was coming. It has always been this way.

Page is down.
-
Counterproductive? In what way?
-
... and realize your vote has no impact on what happens.

Feel free to write a new game. The existing one cannot be modified for various socioeconomic reasons that have been endlessly discussed.

I believe that MS will not ditch their sole advantage in the OS world. Because the legacy "open" programs are their monopoly. I think they're shooting themselves in the foot trying to turn PCs into tablets, and they're setting themselves up for a new Vista moment, but that won't last more than one OS generation. I'm very familiar with Linux. I ran Linux exclusively for a couple of years, before switching back to Windows exclusively. I guess all I'm really saying is that if you want to support multiple OSes, then that's great. Just make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. Speculating that MS is going to commit corporate suicide in 5 years is not "the right reason".
-
Good enough reason to dislike the windows store, but the same isn't true of the whole OS. Microsoft isn't stupid enough to throw away their one advantage in the OS world, though. It's only the decades worth of legacy programs that keep them on top.

Link?

Keep in mind when interpreting those results that continuum basically only works on Windows. So anyone reading these forums regularly enough to vote is going to be heavily biased in that direction.
-
Dumber than paying by the page for source code? I don't think you can get dumber than that.
-
The discussion is irrelevant, as the source will never be released by PriitK.
-
All of the above. Though the only insurmountable one is the lack of source code. Without source code, there's no point.
-
Are you serious? You want the people that are so lazy they can't host events to even the teams too?
-
So by posting a 5 word negative reply about spidernl in a topic about the positive things he's done, you hope to train a replacement? I don't follow. EDIT: I'm not suggesting you go all Avast/Lone Outlaw and write 5000 word replies.
-
Better question is why aren't you taking the time to make your posts worth reading? If you don't feel like contributing, just stop posting. That's what I've done for the most part.
-
That would be me.
-
Interesting. Removing the auto spec may be simpler than finding and fixing the bug.
-
... and again. Locked. -
I deleted the juvenile "...no you you are!" posts, but will hold off on locking the thread entirely.
-
You could make this dependent on the particular engine item. Another factor to balance with is always helpful.

I'm going to un-derail (not a real word) the post and talk about why everyone is wrong, and I am right. First off, a lot of people have a misconception about the purpose of the zone. The zone does not exist for the "community" or for the "population" or for the "vets" or for the "greater good" or even for the players to have fun (I'm serious). It exists to make me happy. That's it. There's nothing more to it. If you do not realize this, you can never be helpful. With that point held firmly in your mind, we'll proceed with the rest of this post. A lot of the time, making other people happy does make me happy. I'm as human as the next guy (depending on the next guy, I suppose). If I ever got it into my head that I'd be happier with the zone gone, it would be gone. On the contrary, knowing the zone is still prospering does still, in some small way, make me happy. So I've left the zone in the care of others, in this case, spidernl. And because the zone doesn't exist to serve the community, or the players, all the things that I said above pretty much now apply to spidernl. The development process on the zone hinges solely upon his happiness. If he thinks a feature will make him happy, he may work to add it. If he thinks a feature will not make him happy, then I'm sure he will not add it. So it all comes down to what motivates him. If he's anything like me, then it's the challenge that motivates him: specifically the challenge of balancing competing requirements to make a game that is enjoyable for the majority of the people that regularly frequent the zone. This post is a bit rambly (also not a real word), but I'd like to reiterate that it's not about the community, or even what's good for the community. It's about having fun. Try to keep that in mind.
