Kryten Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I\'m not sure about cycling; it would basically mean rebooting all the stuff up to then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charzy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Basically, the Kortugans will be the first to do everything, but then will just go back to piracy as is their way. If we do cycle, then we\'ll think of a way to keep your stuff in order.I say that actually goes backwards, because in the 60\'s tech advanced pretty slowly, but in the 00\'s we went from tube TV to HD/3DTV in about 6 years.We can have votes on that kind of thing in the IRC chatroom this evening, if Radion allows it.

Charzy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 why not have a vote about it before cos some people like me want to launch stuff to minmus and not want to wait 6 mouths to do even start >I\'m going to be very frank and blunt here: I kind of doubt you\'ll pass the writing test, so this may not actually effect you.

Imandreas Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Wait, a writing test? Considering that I suck at writing fictional works, I hope that it doesn\'t cause my brain to implode. Of course, this applies if I have to write a massive wall of text, since literature is my weak point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It\'s more like 'Write a few sentences explaining democracy' or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascensiam Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 No, it\'s not like that. It\'s more like 'Write a few sentences explaining democracy' or something like that.I made this suggestion in the first place and that is not what i had in mind.Radion can butcher the suggestion like he sees fit, though.

RC1062 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I finished AS yesterday. Would it be prudent to start testing today?*Jumps up and down*I don\'t like waiting for tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably be smart, so that it not only gives Radion time to pass people, but also so that your land is taken because Radion didn\'t look at yours or something like that.

popeter123 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 how will you do this test and make sure people do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imandreas Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 how will you do this test and make sure people do itIt is most likely to be done when you make an account or try to login before having done the test. Either that, or all of your posts will get annihilated except one in a test thread. Then, you would probably get a notification via PM saying that you either passed or failed.

Charzy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 how will you do this test and make sure people do itI\'m not sure, but most likely you will not have access to the rest of the forum until you are given it by a moderator. The only way to get the access is to do the writing test in a seperate board.However, don\'t take this as word of god, as I don\'t know either. That\'s just how I would do it.

Charzy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 would you be able to retake the test if you failed?I\'d assume so, but again I\'m not sure. If we do happen to have one person spamming the board with infinite test repeats, I\'m pretty sure we\'d have some system in place to tell them to get ou and then ban them, however.

Lord Wasteland Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Also we will have factions to be set for a Cold War setting. in a sense I Will run one faction, and someone may run another. The faction leader will also have more points than others, and bigger militaries. Also there will be unit sizes, and order of battles to denote forces, and if war what you are sending. There will have been a Great War which occured two-year prior to the gané start. So some nations Will have bigger militaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryten Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Also we will have factions to be set for a Cold War setting.Good; I was going to try to catalyse something like that myself, if only because it pushes us away from actual warfare and towards more interesting things.
