Distension discussion

[kthx]

what me about distort?

[roxxkatt]

it's a gargantuan task

which is why theres going to be multiple people working on it, luckily qan wrote it so its modular, and each cmd is almost independant.

The way ASSS modules are written is so that they function for any number of arenas from the start.

then we will have to sabotage the secondary arenas so they dont function until we can incorporate functionality.
yet another reason why we should switch to a singular pub.

I think it would take me minimally a few months to get it working if it was the only thing I was doing. I know what I'm doing and I have a full testing setup in place already so I could begin writing it immediately

which is why we need your help more then anyone else. you wouldnt be working alone, so it might even be finished faster then your estimate.

If you want to take on a pet project, go for it. You'll probably learn a bunch of stuff.

who said this wasnt my aim all along? >=3

I have no idea why you are attacking LB

read the other threads in this forum, it might give you a few good chuckles...

Regardless of the people you get, he's still saying it's a huge task to take on- even if you had him help you, which I doubt he's willing to do.

I highly doubt it will give him chuckles, thanks though

D1stort, :wub:

Ok, what are you suggesting Distort? That it is too hard, and we should all just forget about Distension? Not going to happen.
I have $300 u.s to go towards a professional programmer, and will have more after new years.
If there are enough people willing to contribute some dollars, and cheese's team does what they can, it shouldnt be too difficult... Maybe we can find a cash-strapped college genius?

or offer ignite mod position for 100 dollars a day

I'm not convinced you know what modular means. Just because each command has its own function does not make anything modular or independent.

What?! No, you should design it correctly the first time...

I don't know who is on this team of yours, but I am pretty sure working alone would be faster. But that's typical in software, the larger a coding group becomes the less effective they tend to be. Even if I didn't have a semester left of school, and wasn't going into either graduate school or a job after that, I would still have a full plate of things to work on for my own zone. Sorry, I simply don't have the time.

It seems to me like your aim is for this endeavor to have some deliverables, or at least you keep talking about it like that. What I meant by pet project is have fun tinkering around but don't expect it to be usable by the general populace. If you do in fact want deliverables, pick something smaller.

read the other threads in this forum, it might give you a few good chuckles...

I have gotten several chuckles, but sadly most of them have been at your expense.

Again, I am not trying to discourage you from doing this as long as you realize that it probably won't ever get to the grandeur you are imagining. You'll be doing it for yourself and personal experience, not for the benefit of the community. There is nothing wrong with that, but if you want to help the community there are other things you can be doing with your time and effort.

ive got a month to myself, got any better ideas...?

[E sharp]

Here's one: how about we just wait for qan.

[DankNuggets]

Here's one: how about we just wait for qan.

yes, please just wait for him to come and fix the code. If it takes another six months, we'll wait.

no point in throwing money or effort into recoding the game that took a year to code in the first place.

[kthx]

i love it when newbies who claim theyre 'vets' make bad predictions, then cry later

LOL Btw, I am 13/15 in TWLD predictions with two perfect guesses on final scores. Sit newbie.

cheers

listen to this advice plz

Well due to people who think TW is their own private Agatha Christie novel, we know FUCK ALL about FUCK ALL.
I get the impression TW has basically told Dist to fuck off, and qan has done so.
So, before we sit on our hands and hope Dist returns to TW. I would like TW's Hierarchy to MAKE IT CLEAR what their intentions are in regard to Distension. Atleast then we will know where we stand.

The six stages of the distension whiner.


Stage 1 - Reasoning - We only want 50 hours a week of distension, and it really doesn't crash the zone, we promise.

Stage 2 - Pleading - Please host distension more, the entire zone loves this event.

Stage 3 - Anger - HOW DARE THEY TAKE DISTENSION DOWN TO 24 HOURS A WEEK.

Stage 4 - Threats - If you don't host more distension THIS GAME WILL DIE, and 500 players will quit playing!

Stage 5 - Demands - If you don't restart distension we are going to create it in another zone and then TW will die!

Stage 6 - Giving up -

It's time to move on newbie.

The six stages of the anti-distension whiner.


Stage 1 - Stupidity - Lets try to kill something that we have never tried!

Stage 2 - Annoyance - Lets make some posts!

Stage 3 - More Stupidity - Lets bitch and blame unrelated shit on distension!

Stage 4 - Spam - Lets put posts that are stupid as fuck in random places!

Stage 5 - More Spam - There isnt enough! They dont look stupid enough!

Stage 6 - Giving up -

It's time to move on newbie. go back to your 3v3 jds

fixed

wark is still stuck in stage 4

[kthx]

I don't know why people think just copying what I say and changing the wording is a funny thing. It is this lack of creativity that will make your zone fail, even if you did have the skill or intelligence to try to switch Distension to ASSS. You don't have nearly the skill that Qan has, nor will you ever, you will always be an epic fail in everything you do.
