    Don't understand the drama, Empires doesn't have a "future" it's just a game. Play it or don't.

    3:52 PM - Big Boss BigTeef: Are you done or not, people said your not but you just told me you are

    3:54 PM - Candles: I'm done with the scripts and likely the code too. I might do small things in code, but that's it.

    Why do we give these people any attention, only 1 out of 10 seem to sign up for the fourms stick around and keep playing
    The ones that don't only play it as a passing interest and disappear.

    Hmm..Wounder why people wouldn't want to keep working on Empires.
    To be honest I knew it wouldn't be long before he quit. He is young, still in school, and not much experience. He kind of had a lot thrown on him.

    I kind of wish ImSpartacus could be put back on scripts. He never got to reach what he was aiming at. Spike doing scripts is a bad idea..Deep down we all know this. There is Spike then there is Spike with a few too many drinks in him.Both will be handling scripts. How long until we see the rainbow unicorn weapons?

    I also think if Candles is quitting. Since Trickster isn't around much anymore maybe Empty or Angry should be put as lead developer. To maybe recruit a fresh team. Reason I say Empty or Angry is they have been around for ever and are still active in the community.

    We have people here that can code, model, and do pretty much every thing needed. Empires will go on like it always has. Every time some one quits people cry like it's the end of the world. But for every coder that quits it seems like there are 2 more ready to take their place. Might not be the best option but JGF has more years of experience with coding then most people here have been alive. (Teef time to hop on a new dick)

    Maybe if they actually said anything, I wouldn't have to bug people.

    Wait why? What could there possibly to complain about? Game has best balance since trickster left, well at least I think so. I should probably play a few more games, but I haven't seen much that says "nerf me/fix me" since compo's nerf.

    Oh, this I'm not so sure about. Mark 2s don't really fit with what we have, that's gonna require quite a few changes to make it work decently at all and I don't think it's worth it.

    Theres been like 4 vocal (read mic spamming) people who kept making their displeasure with current state of affairs known all the time in spec, at least at one point even forcibly switching to alltalk. Overall felt kinda like a political smear campaign than anything else.

    ??? They shouldn't do that, why don't the other admins stop those shenanigans?
    That's just terrible.

    Quite honestly there was so much shitalking in spec during the last week it made my ears bleed.

    Security actually did on the second map. Thats to say, hes pretty much the only legitimate admin left around anyway.
    Doubtful its the whole picture ,seeing as when i asked him about it, he laughed it off.

    Grant is right. Y'all need to chill the fuck out.

    Candles is a top sport, just thank him for putting in so much effort and get on and play and have some fun.

    Biggest problem is that the loudest voices that have been around the longest are somehow revered. If you listen to anyone it should be the people who have played for 10 hous.

    Anyway. Cheers Candles.

    Those who can't actually contribute something meaningful "do scripts", and those who nobody will trust to touch the scripts "act as a liason"

    Like we hold elections.
    Youd get hobbes if we did.
    For all of teefs faults, he never wanted to do scripts and there is/was/will be a communication failure between players and devs.

    Can you code?
    Would you pass Mootant's coder entry test?
    Would you make me admin on this forum?
