Anyone have a log of pernille's prolonged rant on how she used to have an attic full of hash?

SSI RDF>Robotech! to give its full name. Like DSB, it has two "races" with their own respective group of ships. Furthermore it uses a pointbased system (standard MERV plug) to restrict which ships you can fly. Newbie ships aren't very powerful but they are forgiving (low energy cost weapons and faster recharge), while vets get more complex ships (as in ones with cloak/stealth options, specials etc.) with greatly increased firepower and speed at the cost of charge rate and energy cost. It balances out. I don't think we should copy the model for 17th but it would be a good way to balance "newbie" ships against "vet" ships.

Not as bad as when a certain idiot staffer kicked me when I flew spider. While I was hosting. You know who you are

I quite like the Robotech implementation of newbie ships...

Hence me asking...

I was wondering if ntfx was a cunning acronymn for anything in particular. A quick search brought this up: http://www.geocities.com/ntfxisahomo/ Presumably ntfx is a common handle. Net want to explain?

miel So really in a sense they aren't a zone staff at all but merely players with elevated privellages to abuse.

More like Zio, stealer of cruel and unusual names

The REAL answer is because we can

How do they do that? Well there are 2 ways. 1 is image to ascii converters (they usually aren't very good). The other way involves careful typesetting and a LOT of time in wordpad/notepad. Some people use a combination of both. The MERC guys just copied it of course.

The guys down at MERC are getting desperate http://www.ssforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=20

Been there, done that I must agree that ssforum has been a good idea.
