So apparently sometime in the last few years when I wasn't playing, Forum/Admin Jason left the game. This is somewhat appalling to learn, because...well..damn.
Anyway. Anybody think this timing is somewhat odd?
viewtopic.php?f=101&t=185917&p=2358229
That thread ^ was posted within 4 days on the SGW php code being released by someone named "advocaite" (presumably Jason) claming that they had not worked on the game on a while, was working on other projects, etc...
Think about these 2 major events. The main admin of the game left, and the code was released to the public. All this happened within 4 days of the "power outage/new server setup".
If anyone has any more info on J's leaving (I've searched and searched) and could provide it to clear things up, that'd be sweet.

Admin Jason?
First she was like...
I talk in this color when corporations pay their fair share of taxes and don't evade US taxes by stashing profits overseas.
I talk in this color when the wealthiest top 1/10th of 1% don't own 50% of the nation's wealth.
I talk in this color when the wealthy, influential elites of this country don't have unbalanced influence over the economy, media, and government - allowing to regularly further their own interests.
I talk in this color when the US joins every other industrialized nation on Earth and guarantees healthcare for all people.
I talk in this color when 98% of all new income doesn't go into the hands of the wealthiest top 1%.
Then she was all like...Support wrote:Thank you, Bernie.
Then they were all...Support wrote:Damn it Bernie.

you'd have to ask Juliette/Support they've been running the show (forum and game)

Re: Admin Jason?
I'd say it was interesting but *does the hoogest shrug ever*.
Jason may have started it all, and i'm generally behind something always being owned by it's creator in regards to intellectual property, but the game was dying under J (not that it appears to have done much better post).

I've come to the conclusion that Admin J is buried in the basement next to poor old Phil

Re: Admin Jason?
Jason's problem was he didn't care about the forums, which lead to some mods behaving poorly, which be left to further drama.......

Re: Admin Jason?
So, didn't hear about this advocaite releasing sgw code, as such I've just did a bit of research.
Advocaite didn't actually get their hands on the SGW code, they created a clone from scratch (in fact they've done it to a few games now). The code was never completed however, as it mentions on their github.
In the end we all move on, even I after several years.

In saying this, very few of you may remember - or even know - that I did the same thing for ascended. I showed J and offered to actually progress ascended.Game is not finished but structure and goal for game is
I have not worked on this game in a long time so may need
upgrading here and there but overall engine works nicly
if anyone wants to help dev it then let me know,
as im currently dev in some other big projects
Many Thanks Advocaite
In the end we all move on, even I after several years.

It's not that he's lazy, he just doesn't care as long as Stargate Wars profits him, so advancing the game isn't a priority, especially these days when it's on life support.

Re: Admin Jason?
Well yeah , who wants to do anything for free? The game can't function without funds to pay for servers, and nobody wants to dedicate time for no financial gain (or in some cases to make themselves feel good about their existence).Tok`ra wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 4:12 amSol wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2017 10:42 pm So, didn't hear about this advocaite releasing sgw code, as such I've just did a bit of research.
