Faction Sign Ups

On a side not, I have PMed Markos, because GT being mod of this main forum, means he can access all forums IIRC, and have mod powers there This is obviously not fair, and I think Googlie should become mod of the main ACDG forum, since he is the only one who is in all forums and impartial.

I PMed Markos about the matter a few days ago, actually, as I had just found by accident that I could get into other teams' forums (and no, I closed the window immediately, so I didn't learn anything), and he's fixed that problem, so the only issue is if you feel my being a team member has some effect on something else.

thanks guys for helping me explain.

the password I believe can be changed by Googlie.

I have never found a way to do that once a game is in progress. I have e-mailed some renowned CMN's for any suggestions they might have.

GT - You are still accredited as co-moderator on all the private forums.

Well, that is kind of concerning for us...

A faculty member spy within the Hive??? Time to get the police state up and running...

[Hercules]

Btw am I the only one who can't see the drone icon properly.

[Main_Brain]

hard to tell those are not spotted that often

[mark13]

Yeah, I can see the drone icon no problem...

"Time to chastize the forum:

I'm just tired of all this over-reaction. From not having any "decency" to talks of me being banned until we can RP this thing to actually RESTARTING THE DEMO GAME simply to change a password I've already promised not to reveal....It is MOST apparent that I am neither welcome nor trusted here, which disappoints me to the fullest as it simply serves as a testement to the paranoia that can ensue and I surely do hope that when something far more serious is done this demo game will be able to survive.

It is also more than obvious that the primal intent of this demo game seems to be "Win! Win! WIN!" instead of having fun. Your all so concerned that I'm going to divulge secrets (most of which I have no knowledge of, such as what were trying to build, where were trying to go, where we are....) and that it will make you LOSE that you cannot seem to even comprehend that I may have decided to switch factions simply because I was NOT having fun. Yes, it is selfish but I thought that the purpose of demo games was to simply have fun, not to win. But now I see all too clearly that I was sorely wrong.

Moomin: How do you go off saying that I had every intention of defecting ever since the start? You know notihng of my thought processes. In fact, I only begun thinking of defection when I saw how many members the Hive had....and how much livelier and fun it seemed. Don't jump to conclusions lest you land in a pile of your own feces.

Maniac: You want an RP solution to this? How about this: Yes, I walked miles and miles and found the hive (which, of course, only serves as a testement to the Hives glory!!!! ). I walked for 6 days and 6 nights and on the seventh day....I found the human hive. It was my religion that led me to it

However, being the little ***** I am I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay here and be a thorn in everyones side and have fun. Hopefully, you will all learn to simply COPE WITH IT and TRUST ME. The Hive isn't suddenly going to get planet bursters and nuke you, and Satan isn't going to come out of the ground and entangle you in thousands of demon boils (well.....Not of my own doing anyways).

I am going to stay here and try to preserve what I percieve to be the reason of demogames: TO HAVE FUN. Deal with it."

Tass: The restart wasn't just about that. It was partly about that yes, but also about the UoP problem with the save, and the problem with GT being allowed into all forums.

We do trust you, this is not because it was you, this is just about defection. If it was somebody else, the same would happen IMHO. Since we are so near the begining, a restart is not such a major thing, and tackles all the problems.

I am glad you are not leaving, you bring a lot to the game. The objective is to have fun, which is people defect a lot, will not happen. I personally trust you, but I think anyone actions will be swayed by what they know. Thus I agree with the consensus that defections should not be allowed (maybe if your faction has been destroyed).

I am sorry you feel victimised, I do not think it was intentional. I hope you do stay involved. It would be a great shame to lose you.

[Googlie]

Tass:

I'm glad you're staying.

Obviously we wouldn't have restarted if it had been turn 2135, and three months down the line.

But there were some other reasons - some of which Drogue has outlined - as well as some internal ones that let me prep the restart better (for example, I hadn't prototyped the Drones' syntharmor nor the Borgs laser weapons, which cost them valuable energy credits to do - I was able to rectify that in the restart)

I was also able to give a preferred password to one of the factions (they had e-mailed me way when ACDG (2) was a concept, and I'd forgotten)

Plus, you get to be a grandfather out of all this - and you know how the Hive revere their elders ..........

kick a**.

[Maniac]

Maniac: Please don't go because of that. When it comes to running the game, we agree on a lot, just not on a few RP bits. Feel free to RP as you wish, and I will do the same. Just because we disagree on that, doesn't mean we cannot still run the faction, IMHO.

I probably won't. I just said the thought crossed my mind. But since RP was a big reason for me for deciding which faction to join, I find the RP bits rather important.

[Drogue]

Likewise. Which is why is exactly why I chose the CyCon.
