Having brandy out the back. He is on often, but he is busy, just like you, me and everyone else in this world.
Does he even come to friday meet anymore?..
Like clockwork unless he forgets or otherwise is unable
Any intention of a mass email?
Probably said already, but it will be shot out when newgrounds is buffed out
That new person who joined forums to help out did she just vanish?
No, it turned out she had a life.
Any intention on advertisement?
Do you really expect anyone on here to know the answer to that?
Any intention on not relying ingame players to spot multi's/scripters and actually get up and do something?
Do you expect him to scroll over the thousands of players (like his scripts would) and check them out based on relative IP address's stats etc (like his scripts would)? He has done something that would otherwise take him awhile to do, and if you haven't thought about it yet there isn't really much else he can do.
Alternatively, instead of asking questions about admins intentions to the community, you could always ask them to him...or get someone to ask them...or send an email to him...or get someone to send an email to him....
@everyone on about the decrease in players, I wouldn't just solely blame it on the lack on change from admin J, this is a turn/text based game, an old game by today's standards, inevitably with a lack of an active admin (ok lets just cut it down to a lack of change, no one would really care if they saw admin prancing around everywhere, they just want shiny new things to play with and they want his attention) it has fastened up that core reason.
Also I would be interested to see how many people step up to the plate and offer their coding skills for free, I would even like to see how many people have the accomplished experience to be able to handle it. Plus I have a small hunch admin wouldn't just let his pride and joy roll with another person, so prep for some showmanship.
As for scripters, well it happens in all games, there is only so much you can do, and I have given admin some ideas to cut them down, whether he has implemented them or not is his problem.
I do laugh at people that just complain though, like my father who hates the political side of Australia and their ability to make money vanish, up the taxes, and give themselves pay rises, but actually does nothing whatsoever and just complains to the family about it. Perhaps if you actually helped AJ a bit more than just shouting a few keywords or throwing an idea on the forum where you know he never appears, then he might do something. Reminds of bug threads in ascended, especially the more recent tourney ones, people were all like ZOMG I haven't got my planets, at which point I would sit back an ponder on how their thought processes got them to the point where they actually expect me to know; who to give them to, how many they think they should get, who was affected etc. and then anticipate that I could do it in a matter of hours. Multiply that by 8 pages of people **Filtered** about the same thing, with it only affecting a handful of people, and me fully aware of the problem a page or two in, not helpful in the least
That being said I say we all just go to an IRC meet and see what his plans are for main (if he will do anything on there) and just bombard him with forum links, leading him to suggestion threads. If he does nothing, we can do it again.
constructive criticism all this " jason has a life" " jason has a family" jason also runs a company like borek said and it's pathectic the work he puts into it now a days i don't go to admin meets becuase there a waste of time.. any ideas that aren't good and should be implemented jason just ignores or agrees and does nothing about it..
2012
Homepage
It has a background image and the login and text 'float' above the image. There are a number of images, and ability to add more.
If anyone wants to submit one for use, please:
* use existing size (1920 x 1080 --this is large enough for most screens and scales if necessary)
* Include some type of wormhole or stargate (but not an sg1 stargate)
* Keep it darker -not white - as its a background below white text
* Keep in mind the end product (jpg) must be 200k or under.
This 'refresh' moves us a step closer to a 'come on back' email (our first and only email EVER) to previous stargate players that should liven things up a bit...
Planet stolen stat
The number of 'archeological layers' are displayed when taking over a planet. This tells you how many previous owners have had that planet.
MPDSD on black market
There will be the ability to purchase MPDSD on the official black market. (starting Mar 2nd, 2012)
Triple Planets
These are now available - one per account only - also on official black market. (starting Mar 2nd, 2012)
Please note that a triple can be taken over ONCE and maintain the triple stats. If it is taken over a 2nd time it loses its 3rd stat.
There is no way to know beforehand how many times it has been stolen
Thats what he has done since start of this year.. you could do that over night wont be with his family 24/7 he should just hire someone he would easily make the money back..
Jason does also run a game/business, and if I do recall, no one here is chained to it, so you can walk away when you want to if you don't like how it's run.
As ETL put it I think most people mistake how much he actually makes from the game nowadays, so hiring someone to get his money back..is well..not exactly the best option.
I have to ask you though, has any of you asked him WHY he isn't active? Why he hasn't been upgrading main? Or do you just accept the raw data with no excuse?
Besides, the forums moved and were re-synchronised a few times over the past 7 years; that erases the 'most online' data.
