i have done nothing worthy of being banned, nor have i ever been banned from any imperial game forum.  i have been warned, perhaps even deserved to have been banned, but not in the last 2 years or so...pure propaganda i tell you....

I guess you'll have to step up your actions, then. We're all counting on you for the Olympics!

WB poly! hope to see you soon in beta! (or are you already there?)

Don't think that'll be happening soon - there just isn't enough time in the day!
Maybe in a week or two things will calm down a bit around here and I'll be able to do that. Until then, you guys are going to have to settle for the sporadic newscast

Sure you did

Wow, I'm really out of touch here... Will need time to catch up, if I decide to come back to IH. I didn't even cover the story where your post got removed, silly me 

Sometimes I wonder if I'm letting the admins off too easy in my newscasts

Any chance someone might look at this suggestion?  It's feeling so unloved!

Questions / Re: 10 min for attack

« on: May 12, 2009, 09:32:56 PM »

Depends on the precise chances, but even at 40%, 10 blanks in a row would constitute extremely bad luck - should happen in 0.6% of cases (!!)

It's possible that currently, the game only rolls once for all of your APs, I suppose.

I'm pretty sure chain shirts fall under the definition of "medium armor", which rangers are allowed. Then again, I could be wrong... Wouldn't be the first time

In the meantime if you want to join the Alpha, we can generate a registry code for you

Suggestions / Mercenary hand-me-downs

« on: May 08, 2009, 06:25:58 PM »

Item binding is a good idea, but can we at least be allowed to hand down items we no longer need to our mercenaries? They should be seen as an extension of the main character, so there really shouldn't be much of a problem with that I think...

Suggestions / Message when buying an item

« on: May 08, 2009, 06:12:16 PM »

This is a usability suggestion.

Every time you buy an item on the auction market, you get a message.

Now, there are 4 cases:
1. You got an item when its timer expired, but didn't have room for it
2. You got an item when its timer expired, and had room for it
3. You bought an item with "buy now" but didn't have room for it
4. You bought an it with "buy now", and had room for it

In cases 1 and 3, you obviously need a message that the item is in your Cache rather than in the backpack. In case 2, you also need a message, otherwise you might not notice that you got the item. But in case 4, a message is obsolete and annoying - I'm aware I bought the item, I just clicked on "buy now", didn't I? So a message just forces me to go read something I already necessarily know.

My suggestion: Only generate "item bought" message for "buy now" if the item went to the cache and not to the backpack.
