Fanmail 1 by Korenn9-18-01 Spinner once again reads his fanmail A letter from Nod... Telling me I should take my crap adjustments, my p2p game, my attitude and my roid capping and shove it ... He likes the graphics though
Ideas by Korenn9-18-01 Spinner has an idea Vish, I've been thinking... oh god... What if we've been handling this Planetarion thing all wrong? here it comes... Maybe we should rebuild the whole thing from scratch and listen to what the users are saying I'm emigrating to Sweden
Problem solving by Korenn9-18-01 Spinner has a problem Ok, PA is slow, the users are furious and the formulas turned out to be totally screwed... Hmmm Ah well, I'll just fiddle with the shipstats some more
The Daily Routine by Korenn9-18-01 Vish consults Fudge on a problem Dude, the whole network is down and the database is going corrupt! XZWRZTQRZZBGZ Dude, we have angry users on the phone and the power will be cut off in 15 minutes! RZTQRZZBGZFFT Dude, where did all the coffee go? ZZBGZBLBLFRRT
Fanmail 2 by Korenn9-18-01 Spinner opens his fanmail once again An anonymous letter... Hmmm.... "Dear Mr Spinner. I love you so much, your game is the best..." "I wish you and the PA crew all the best of luck in the brand new round! Love, a fan." "P.S. please don't touch the shipstats again, kthxbye"
Always practical by Korenn9-18-01 #planetarion, and Spinner makes an announcement Ladies and Gentlemen, we seem to be having some problems with server load... But we're already working on a fix at the moment... Stand by for the list of people who need to pay more to keep their accounts...
stat changes? sure why not by Korenn10-15-01 Spinner decides Hey Zeus, let's change the shipstats a bit, I don't like em this way WHAT?!? You mean you want to disrepect all the users' whishes, screw up the game balance and probably lose half of the beta testers?!? er..... yes? oh okay.
ever listened closely to the star trek tech explanations? by Korenn10-15-01 So you want to change the shipstats, okay, but how should we handle it? Well, I was thinking of calculating the optimum probability curve of the weaponspeed versus armor ratio... Then re-align the vector of eonium costs to approach this optimum and thus improve overall performance You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? nope...
Development Decisions by Korenn10-15-01 Spinner is on the job Well, there we are again, faced with another choice of what stats to change... But where do I start? I'll check the users' comments to see if there are any good ideas among them... The mail program crashed... *Input Overload*
Fanmail 3 by Korenn10-15-01 Every action leads to a reaction... We had about 6000 reactions on our latest shipstat changes... The only way that we can read them all is by working through them systematically, so we will handle the shortest first... "FS"
