An offer to Kestas...
Kestas, oh great and mighty!

If you will strip Nigee's coin/badge from him (and him alone) I will contribute an amount equal to 150% of what he has contributed to the site.

Why do users display "Available Points" instead of "Total Points"?
For what the points mean or don't mean, seeing and ranking by total points is more informative that the current display of available points, no?

Questions
Hey everyone, I'm back (somewhat, i still have finals so can't get too involved till after them, but I'm feeling better so I'm mostly back) and thought I'd say high. Also, some questions
So i'm not going to go into all the standard rigamarole about how the forum's gone to hell and the newbies are spawn of Satan or anything like that, even if it does seem like trolls are making up a higher percent of the posts, but I'm curious:

I know we aren't vDip, and that there're reasons for both and i actually like that there are the two different sites and they aren't clones, but a couple of the new (for me) features on vDip were (for me) pretty cool and i thought I'd ask about them.

-They have a preview option for the map that lets you see what your saved orders will do, and granted I have very little knowledge of... well, most things, but in particular computer and web admin'ing, still, I was wondering if there was a reason not to include that here.

-there was something else but now i forget. I'm sure i had a reason for that 's' on the end of question though...
That sounds like one statement of wonderment and zero questions.

"I was wondering if there was a reason not to include that here." could be interpreted as an improperly terminated question.

One question was sort of asked. I suppose the answer, AncientMemories, is that, as you say, this isnt vDip, and kestas is quite busy, and no-one else has offered to code that feature for him. It sounds like a decent enough feature I guess.

If I'm ever curious about how a set of moves will play out, I simply open up Realpolitik, change the map to look like it is in the game and save it. Afterward, I simply plug in moves that I want to make and those that I suspect others will make to examine the outcomes. Very handy.

Wow, thats a lot of dismissals of what I thought was a pretty good question. A preview feature? I haven't tried that one yet, I'm going to give it a shot. I have read Oli post that kestas and alderain are the better codes (both here) and he just implements their changes quicker. Alderain was the one who did the PM notice, and vdip had it before us.

But its the trolls in the forum here that provide me with entertainment between phases, so I wouldn't ever want that to go away.

I just tried the preview feature, that is very cool. Makes sure you haven't messed up an order. Especially important when you have many units you're ordering around.
Sorry about the misappropriate use of 'questions' ; )

Phil, my thoughts exactly, on both points.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
30 Apr 13 UTC
Kestas and Alderian are working on a set of immediate small changes and then a set of larger changes in the near future. The larger ones may include something like the preview on vdip. I personally haven't used it, but I'll be starting a game there soon so I'll see what it's like.

Also welcome back and good luck on the finals!

Yeah, I have to try that one out haha, I'll probably set it up later in the week so I'll send you a pm then.
Thanks! And I'd be interested in trying that too if it doesn't fill up :)

@Nigee: I know your just joking, but, even so, "aspiring-middle-class" must be the saddest thing I have heard in a long time.

@Timur - of course I'm not 'aspiring'. as Tony Bliar famously said 'we're all middle class now'

How do you leave a game? Is there a way to end your participation immediately (so the other players know) or do you just stop playing and the other players just see that you "missed the last phase" and wonder if you're coming back?
