    I think a Linux client may greatly increase the numbers of people playing. For example people still play Tremulus and it is a quake 3 mod. People in the Linux are desperate for games...

    'Aye, anytime Trickster joins, it seems half the community follows him. We had an excellent game of Slaughtered before everyone left to play DotA. Though, we did have at good 11v11 going before he showed up.

    It's too bad this isn't an open source project because I'd take a stab at porting it. I would be fine doing it with the closed source code, but I don't think I would get access to that :)

    Empires source code is known to have decremental effects on human health. We're doing you all a favour by ensuring that as few people as possible are exposed to Empires source code.

    The Empires code could win "Program of the Year" award at TheDailyWTF, based off what I've seen of it.

    Empires was my first large programming project, and I did not have internet access or reference books while developing it. The code isn't all that great, yet I still want to say: "screw you guys."

    Empires design pattern: It was hard to code, it should be hard to modify and expand!

    Some of the newest stuff put in is kinda even worse than Krenzo left it ( Lua for some reason was put in and C++ Boost ) now these would be fine if used but they are all broken and just sitting there supported by some rocks.
