People have been asking so I thought I should post this/

There are, I believe, four servers in the works.

Day of the Eagle - Contact Herr Burt

Slave Girls 3 - Contact Dizzy

GFL ISC Invasion - Contact Karnak

The Return of Dr. Strangelove - Contact Skull n Bones (Tracey? Dark Elf? BBJ?)

I agree that it would be nice if these servers didn't step on each other as much as possible.

So discuss over some coffee folks.

I DENY ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ANYTHING INVOLVING SERVERS! snicker

Thank you.

<runs away>

Ack!! The Mirak media, once again, is the first to sniff out a story, hehe.

A D2 dyna shipwright convention is in the process of convening over future EAW servers. The diplomatic channels have been bustling with activity and the InterStellar Concordium has just given permission for said convention to convene on Concordia.

Ok people, this is the plan...

The EAW schedule for the next few months:

Firstly, there will be no overlapping of servers, so Scipio, Karnak, myself and the rest of the team, and Dizzy and whoever else may wish to organise one as well (the more merrier... ;-), we need to coordinate our timetable.

Karnak and Scipio need to discuss which of their servers will be ready first and decide between them, who goes first.
Initially, either one or both of these were going to fit well into the slot between AOTK and RDSL. Unfortunately, as real life doesnt always permit, not everything goes according to plan, however, we have been able to keep up a fun server (7.35 is getting quite a turnout), and keep the ball rolling.

Next will come RDSL, The Return of Dr Strangelove. Campaign design is all but complete, the campaign is using a combined shiplist as most of you know, but will be unique to this campaign only. The regular SFC2.net shiplist is being seriously overhauled at the moment, but wont be used in RDSL. The missions are.... almost done... <crosses fingers>

Following that, will be Dizzy's SG3 campaign he is designing, discussion and details for which (like you cant miss them... LOL!!), are on the SFC2.net forums.

So... what are we waiting for??? Well, its first to the post between Karnak and Scipio basically. They need to discuss this, and of course, if they could let me know as well, that would be great... LOL!! Its always an option to begin the countdown to beginning RDSL if either has problems, however, RDSL is going to be a major campaign and is likely to be up for quite awhile.

So... there you have it... ;-)

Tracey, you need to talk to Dizzy and get your plans straightened out cuz I am getting conflicting stories. Then let me know what's up.

In addition, I need to know RDSL earliest realistic start date.

FPF_TraceyG · « **Reply #5 on:** February 28, 2003, 05:51:11 pm »

Karnak, RDSL will start when DOE and the GFL Invasion server is completed. So its impossible to say, at this point in time when RDSL will start. Hence my above post. I have no idea really what Dizzy has in mind, or what he's been saying. As things stand in the greater order of things, RDSL was being organised before AOTK even started. Then, came along DOE and the GFL server which filled the gap between AOTK and RDSL nicely, and I'll take this opportunity to thank you for your efforts in organising the GFL server (looks like it will be a good one!!). Dizzy has not discussed with me at all anything about SG3, however, I would assume he would, like the rest of us, not want the unfortunate situation of having servers running concurrently and competing against each other.

By the way, I'm on MSN right now, so jump on and we can talk shop!

Gosh did I start trouble??

Truly I'm innocent here.

J'inn · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2003, 11:02:17 pm »

WHAO WHAO WHAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Major miscommunication going on here. I just listed the four servers in the order they popped into my head. Not in any specific order.

The purpose of the post was to get all four teams talkign together because I got the idea people were not all working from the same play book.

And I agree, some sense of order would be a good thing.

Dizzy... lighten up... there ARE no set release dates. If SG3 is the first campaign ready to go, then thats the one we'll go with. How long will it be before its ready?

I try so hard to be good.

Trouble just sorta follows me.

Good thing I've learned to make some dough off of it.

Dizzy, the situation is under control.

On behalf of the ISC gov't., welcome to the first ever D2 Dyna shipwright conference.

I do very much hope that the complimentary Orion Slave girls I picked out for you are to your satisfaction. Don't hesitate to ask for new ones if you are not happy with my selections.

I do believe you have met TraceyG before in the CIC before so I will dispense with introductions for the SFC2.net rep. The picket ships are still anxiously awaiting the arrival S'Cipio from Gorn space and I will indeed let you know the first minute that I know he will arrive. Although, I have heard he having trouble drying out some flooded areas of his home and such. Did you know it snows on G'dhar. Now, would you fancy that? :O

Now, to business:

It would be most helpful if we could get an idea on when you think SG3 can realistically fire up for a beta test. Just send me or TraceyG a PM and CC S'Cipio while you are at it. Once we get an idea of where exactly each of the 4 dynas are at develoment wise then we should be able to make a well-informed decision on dyna scheduling. As TraceyG said for SFC2.net, the GFL is also fully committed to having no dyna traffic jams. Something about getting stressed out and stuff.

Oh, please excuse the fried Kzin you saw at the door when you came in. The guards are a little jumpy today. I'll have to talk to the maid about that.

I'm confused... whats even worse is with this economy, I don't have much of a staff anymore to explain this stuff to me... stupid Klingons and Lyrans need to let us expand!

Herr Burt · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2003, 02:12:51 am »

Hi everyone:

I have received a message from Karnak, and have replied. (Karnak, you've got mail!) I think it's cool that kittie, the lady, and the little frog want no overlap, and I agree. We'll try and space these out so as to maximize the fun for everyone.

Happy Warmongering!

-Herr Burt

Karnak · « **Reply #20 on:** March 01, 2003, 07:26:09 pm »

The D2 dyna shipwright conference on Concordia is over and we have a schedule worked out.

TraceyG will be posting more details in another thread.

BTW, it was a hotly debated issue, but we finally decided to let J'inn out of the downtown Concordia City pokie now that the conference is over.

The Korlivilarian guards were complaining about his incessant "But I'm innocent...truly I am...I am so innocent it hurts!!" pleas in that oh so whiny voice of his....
