Topic: *** Herr Burt Blows His Deadline ***

[Herr Burt]

OK, raise your hands.  How many of you saw this coming?

There are still some problems with my server, mostly relating to how the D2 interacts with the fact that you are flying only PFs.  Weird types of things can happen if the mission-matching and shipyards don't work out, and most of these are bad.  Also there are some issues with gf settings that I used to know cold -- and thought that I still did -- but found I found that they had gone rusty.  I worked them out, but that took time I wasn't expecting.

I could put the server up now, and I'm certain several players would get screwed, and then in a couple of days we'd need a patch..  On the other hand, I'm convinced I can fix all of this with just a few more hours of work. (I'll have no more distracitons tonight.)  Given that choice, I've decided the server will start tomorrow evening instead of tonight.

Tomorrow.  At 8PM.  Or else I eat dirt!  (with a digital camera to capture the image and prove that I ate it.)

I can't apologize enough.  I hope I haven't robbed anyone of several hours they could have used doing something else tonight.  This is NOT the way I wanted to revive my admining career.  I only hope that the server will turn out to be better because of the delay.

Please tune in.  Even if you find you still don't have a game to play, at least there will be some nice <yech> pictures for you to look at.

lol ... scip.

Looking forward to the dirty pics, sts.

Tomorrow, next day, the idea still sounds like fun.   

[alfman]

I already have pictures of a man eating dirt (thankyou  Mr. Bethke).  I no longer have the need to see this again.  Maybe just some 4 day old pizza!

[KAT Chuut-Ritt]

I'd say make Scippy purchase and drink Dewars with photo evidence.

   This seems off the topic but I hate to break it to you but p2p is the way of the future.There will be a new Star trek game out and it will be a pay to play in 3 years.It will be the same as EVE it may be an IceLand and UK made game but the publishers are in the US and the rates are US.This the way the market is over there.Those that are playing SFC3 aren't playing EVE not one of them as the are dedicated to to their mods.WT himself would touch EVE with a ten foot poll all the time he has fought for Unity that means so much to him.It seems only a few D2ers are playing this The Litterbox doesn't qualify as a ongoing D3 mod.I know this much and what is going on in the Star Trek gaming for being over at the Tri Mods Forums.

   This not to say that SFC2 OP is a dead game it seems to be losing some players but what drove them out uuh?This forum is not as clean as Taldrens D2 forum there was civil tone in that forum and rule no.2 gets broken enough on D.net D2 forum never on Taldrens.This kind behavior wouldn't be tolerated at the Tri Mod forums.There is no type of warning system either.There are teenagers over at the Tri Mods who act more mature than some on this forum.
 
    I am no WT fan either but the guy can be helpful.

What's a "ten foot poll"? Or is this just a test of my intelligence ie if you read Age's post you fail the test?

Not sure but if you've ever gotten one of those phone call polls, (the kind when they ask for A minute of your time   ) you would think that they had to be at least 10 feet long if typed out.

<I know I shouldn't but...>

Well the teens probably post on topic as well (oops, looks like ya broke rule #3)

there are at least two topics already dealing with this on the first page of the fourms

http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163346406.0.html

and

http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163346083.0.html


Would it really be beyond your ability to not start up a third thread on the topic?
(Well I guess we know the answer to that)
Thanks .

Anyways Scip dirt would be cool- but as Alf said ,it's been done.

I kinda like Chuut's idea though...

[Herr Burt]

   This seems off the topic but I hate to break it to you but p2p is the way of the future.

Eh, what?  What the <ahem> hades has this got to do with anything?  I assure you, if you would rather pay to play on my server, then I will be more than glad to accept your cash.

Or, better yet, you can "pay" me by agreeing to be my stand-in tonight when my promise forces me to eat dirt.

-Herr Burt

[Dizzy]

HB, head on over to the sfcnet dynaadmins forum and post your revelations. I'm especially interested.

   This seems off the topic but I hate to break it to you but p2p is the way of the future.

Yeah...like BETA was going to wipe out VHS...then the laser disk....then the mini VHS....and the DVD...

There will be a new Star trek game out and it will be a pay to play in 3 years.

And it had better rock...because by the time it comes out it will be a SEVEN YEAR OLD CONCEPT...

It will be the same as EVE

Then it will be a flop...see above...

it may be an IceLand and UK made game but the publishers are in the US and the rates are US.This the way the market is over there.

I dont see what any of that has to with anything...

Those that are playing SFC3 aren't playing EVE not one of them as the are dedicated to to their mods.

Uh...hmmm... ...ok...

WT himself would touch EVE with a ten foot poll all the time he has fought for Unity that means so much to him.

Yeah...unity means alot to him...

It seems only a few D2ers are playing this

This what?...this "OP"...or this "Unity mod"?

The Litterbox doesn't qualify as a ongoing D3 mod.

Oh?...thanks for the notification...I'll pass it one to fluff...(like he'd care)

I know this much and what is going on in the Star Trek gaming for being over at the Tri Mods Forums.

You'd know more from Star Trek Gaming Universehttp://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~starmada/forum/stgu_portal.php...this is where Harry is actively posting...although I bet he still lurks here once and while...

 This not to say that SFC2 OP is a dead game it seems to be losing some players but what drove them out uuh?

Not dead at all...GW3 had more peeps registered than Unity does now...

People come and go and games come and go......they have since SFC came out...

I can think of a few things that drove peeps out...but I dont see what it has to do with this thread...

This forum is not as clean as Taldrens D2 forum

There is no corpation PR to worry about...things are "slightly" looser as far as topic ...yes...but behaviour is still moderated heavily...

there was civil tone in that forum

And theres a pretty civil tone round here too...until someone gets way out of line.....which is pretty rare now a days...and is often the same individuals...

and rule no.2 gets broken enough on D.net D2 forum never on Taldrens.

You mean this one?:

2. Messages should always maintain a respectful, civil tone towards one another. Name-calling,
personal attacks, baiting of others, and abuse is not allowed.

As I said...Behaviour is still moderated...but we all have differing views on what is acceptiple and what is not....some things are not open for speculation...like porn and profanity...Personal attacks and baiting are generaly obvious to the reader, but sometimes there are gray areas based on personal perceptions...

I'm not a robot....and I dont suspect anyone else here is either...

BTW...you violated rules 2 (baiting), 3 (Off topic), 12 (repeated violation) with a possible warning on 5 (spamming) as you've allready brought this up elsewhere...

NOW UNDERSTAND THIS IS ONLY IN JEST....I just wanted you to see how the rules can be twisted....

This kind behavior wouldn't be tolerated at the Tri Mod forums.

You're correct...the kind of behaviour tolerated over there is much worse.....

There is no type of warning system either.

Yes there is....it's just not obvious to you what the system is....

There are teenagers over at the Tri Mods who act more mature than some on this forum.

Again...baiting...

Well I don't care if your not ready for Monday night at 8.00pm because I still wont be able to play until Tuesday!  (I'm on GMT and that makes it at least 1.00am Tuesday morning as a start time for me).

So I would get the Dirt plate ready my friend.

Not really, as every server needs a flame war, doesn't have to have anything to do with the server either. <snicker>

Seems like an odd name.

Yes I know all what it going on at STGU as I am a member there as well  and I read that lockoed thread that you and WT were posting.You mention the peeps in there as well.I said it won not be tolerated over at the Tri Mods why because there teenagers there.You have copied and pasted  a lot over but never read any of the postings.Where were you when I was being baited and almost ready to start the biggest fight on a message board.This would of resulted in bannings I am sure of that as I hate being the only one bashed on.What prevent me from doing so is the rational of my behavior and where I work.Then agian I place higher moral standards on myself.Then agian things like this crack me up because I can't believe the types of behavior that is going on it is like a bunch of squabbling preteens.I even made a posting in STGU about D2ers and it is a positive one it is in the Enhancement Pack thread in the SFC forum big place.

Yes, I/we are.  I always keep a spare personality around, just in case I need plausible deniability.  (It's my own mental filing system.  I use one name for playing Gorn, and another for running servers.  It seemed important at the time while we were doing lots of role playing thread, but now it just looks silly.)
