why bother...

[spittnacid]

when u cant even make a poll without the owner saying something counter productive. i hopethey dont hold any power or authority in rl. must not so they have to go on the internets to get off on a power trip.

[Cheese]

you are stupid irl

[Dr Brain]

Counterproductive? In what way?

[spittnacid]

you are stupid irl

shut up troll

 

Counterproductive? In what way?

im not gonna start an arguement with you. if you dont like opinions or ppl trying to do anything they may think drums up discussion or interest than simplyban them or shut down the server.

[cxc]

I thought it was funny when i saw the title and was going to vote, but brains comments added reality and killed the spirit of it. So i did not bother voting.

 

I can see why acid is upset.

 

I also can see why you dont understand why he is upset.

[Unix]

He was just stating the fact. It doesnt matter what we think, in the end it's up to who's running the zone.

[spidernl]

I voted "don't care", which should tell you all you need to know.

[Lone Outlaw]

You guys are owners of a zone, you have final say there. You are not owners of people. Unless you agree with slavery? Let people have some freedom to express themselves, especially when you have quotes, like "freedom is the right to be wrong" in your own signature.

 

That would include trolls like cheese, or emo tripping carebears like acid.

im not a troll, i just call dumb people dumb when they are dumb

which happens to be frequently

[Dr Brain]

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.

truth is in the eye of beholder.. much like beauty..

@Dr Brain, that makes sense for real, (no sarcasm)

well i am done. it was nice playing with most of you. this zone will be dead soon(not just dying) and the owner(s) have every right to let it die. apparently that is what they want. as for cheese, sorry but you'll have 1 less person to troll. Adios!

[spidernl]

Yes, because letting players have input into when resets happen would prevent it from dying.

[Dr Brain]

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.

[Lone Outlaw]

Why does a player need to have input on when a reset happens anyway? It sounds like insider trading.. which by the way is against the law. lol

 

It's not as if they are saying there will never be a reset. There probably will be. Spider could have been planning a reset for next week for all you know.

Tomorrow, 2:00 PM. Spend all your money on Cobalts now, as this is 100% legit. Yep. Trust me on this one, lads.

[cxc]

You gonna make me look up quotes on sarcasm?

INVEST IN COBALTS

 

AND WAFFLES

ALWAYS invest in waffles

[Guest summerglau]

ok, I bought some 5 cobalt gum and sum eggos.... I'm set

wrong. unix would still have all the money.

[Lone Outlaw]

Lol yeah technically if you are resetting it's because the economy is already thrown off balance, no?

[spidernl]

Not necessarily. It's because a large percentage of the zone's population will be at a point where they don't really have anything to work towards as they have their "ideal" setups for the most part. To keep it enjoyable for everyone, a reset is necessary.

 

I'd love to make resets obsolete, but a good solution (i.e. one that doesn't involve self-resetting) hasn't really been found by anyone I know of.

[Lone Outlaw]

Why not reset people individually, and automtically, after a set of inevitable goals has been achieved. Which means the player can't halt the goals to avoid their own reset.

 

Of course you'd have to decide what those goals are based on the zone. And i think it would make it so people always have a set of goals to work towards. And you could even add incentives, after each individual reset, the player gets some type of 1 item reward that they can have through every reset. Or as a reward, they start with 10k more money next reset, or get a special item, or their ship can hold 1 extra item and so on.

 

And then you'd have to find a way to automate it, so it doesn't involve staff having to find the people, see if they reached the goals, and resetting them.

 

heh my ideas aren't so bad for someone who doesn't play? Plus i think because i dont play, i can be more objective, and i leave more of the idea up to you.
