I have absolutely no idea what any of you guys are going on about, just try not to break into fights, eh?

[Micro102]

The current host of Cowed is 100% against OS, while Anidroid is undecided. Anidroid also seems to be the one "In charge" of the source.

Also, everyone seems to be thinking that we will be "taking over" if it goes Open Source.

Uh, I am the current host. I run the forum, the game server, the SVN that has the source-code... pretty much everything. And out of the 5 developers I've had on the project I've been the most active, which led to me slowly taking over thanks to the inactivity of the then powers that be.

Ok please clarify something for me, first I heard the admins talking about only having 1 other developer besides Data, who was an 8 year old, then Maxdax said there were 3, and now your saying there are 5? Which is it?

And Maxdax stop it with the conspiracy theories. You want us to guess the code until we miraculously manage to get right?

W12W had his hub entry and was hosting Cowed, and asked me for help with furthering the game. Originally the development team consisted of myself, W12W, Maxdax222 and Oasiscircle. Eventually I added 14mRh4x0r to the team.

As time went on only 14mRh4x0r did any work, and W12W modified the map a little. Maxdax222 was removed at insistence of Oasiscircle, and Oasiscircle was later removed due to inactivity but mostly because people complained about him being reckless and his status as developer granted him diplomatic immunity.

Currently the only ones with SVN access is me, 14mRh4x0r, and W12W. The only ones who have actually developed all that much is myself and 14mRh4x0r; W12W just manages his bunny farm.

I've decided to do some work on console and as such haven't been really active on the Cowed front, and 14mRh4x0r is sporadically active and currently on vacation.

[Vahan]

Basically, you just want it, so you can steal codes from it?

Max, one of the major points of developers open-sourcing is to allow other to learn from someone else's code. It's stealing in the same way you watch someone doing a job and getting skills from that.

Data calling in the army?.

Meh.

Max is very, very anti-open source. His argument was that it'd become like SS13, with all futuristic stuff. =p As he was saying this, I was sitting in a TARDIS porting about the world.

This is Autarch, by the by. Oh, and Data, is it going to happen or not? :3

Oh, I thought Max was the host. Sorries.

I agree, some of you guys act like "if it makes sense, then it should happen" sort of attitdue. Sure, open sourcing might make sense in your mind, but not in others.

Being polite about asking for OS is really the only way to go, if you just bicker and argue, it will never be released.

I can't stress that enough. Can't we all sit down over a kettle of tea? Or several bottles of alchohol.

Make that a barrel

[Grakelin]

No, the only way to get what you want over the internet is to intimidate and berate people who live in other parts of the world. MAXDAX YOU HAND OVER YER OPEN SOURCES NOW OR IMA GONNA EKICK YOUR ASS

[dwarfguy2]

rip out his heart and make an amulet of it!

[Dr. Johbson]

If he's never played Dwarf Fortress before he's going to think you're crazy, now.

[Megaman]

One who does not play DF dosnt belong here. So Max is therefore an infidel.

[Maxdax222]

No, I haven't played Dwarf Fortress.

Aut, I didn't say it would have futuristic things, I just said people would be expecting it.

Right now, Cowed has futuristic things, that Data has added, but it's not that much and it's managable, mainly because it's restricted to admins.

[Shadowgandor]

Max, you should really try Dwarf Fortress It's awesome

Anyway, last round was awesome. I started a bank where people could store their money, swap copper for gold and vice versa and I also sold a few items. Eventually, a guard came and wanted to work for me, so I thought 'Why the hell not?' and said okay. After a few deposits, a griefer came and wacked the bank. The Guard knocked him out and someone else eventually grabbed a cannon and blasted the griefer.
 At that moment, the king had entered the building () and saw the corpse. I explained that the guard had protected the building from this robber. The King was impressed and promoted him to a Royal Guard and after that, more and more fun stuff happened. It was just great RP and that's why I play games like Cowed and Space Station 13

What is this I don't even....

Seriously though. Why would anyone EXPECT futuristic things? the game already has a setting, The only reason someone would do that is if they were doing what was essentially a total conversion, and just wanted to build on the engine. Which would be a whole separate game entirely.

So what? It's restricted to the admins. It's not like anything would change on the original server. And why would the Bay12 server decide to give them to everyone? If people want to play SS13 they will play SS13. If they want to play Cowed, they would play Cowed.

I fail to see any logic in this line of thinking.
