kcoRdloG Sounds like some sort of alien ^_^

Still, players wouldn't have known for sure when or how the weapons would be nerfed/buffed, nor would they have known to what extent - the devs might as well have added the following to the Twins description just after the rebalance, following your logic: "Oh but we're going to nerf this weapon eventually, so don't buy it depending on how good it is now." ^Exactly.

Well, technically, we'd no longer have the same item that we originally decided to buy in the first place... Though I see your point, too - it's only a physics change. I'll sort of stay on the fence for this one. However, I heard something about Twins having a third of the shooting speed and Rico shooting loads faster being introduced... In that case, I think a refund would be deserved. Even though that's just sorting out the balance of weapons, many players only bought Twins because it's OP, and so they would lose out without a refund.

^I'm a kid, technically... I'll try to read it sometime, sounds interesting ^_^ Well, drawing a parallel from the doctor scenario, the man in full health may represent one that has never committed any injustices. Technically, neither of these things are possible - no man would be absolutely perfect in terms of health (though he might be in very good health), just as no man would have never committed any injustices (though he might have committed very few injustices). The imperfections of man would be mentioned in this book, right? Anyway, following that line of thought, we can assume that for a man who has committed few injustices, little justice against him is needed. However, justice is still used/needed. In this sense, I disagree that justice can be useless - it is always useful, as man always commits injustices, though at varying degrees, depending on an individual. Maybe this sort of thing is better suited to another forum? Because I doubt many other players here would be brave enough to delve into this discussion. I had to read the original post several times before I could absorb it fully, for example ^_^

Semyon: "The reason we got the refund back in the day wasn't due to changes in parameters of turrets and hulls. It happened because the whole system of weapons was changes. Things you were able to get at your rank became impossible to buy after the update. Tier 1 and Tier 2 got removed and all the guns and hulls were made equal. This time it's just parameters of SOME turrets and hulls, it's even more about how hulls feel. Secondly and most importantly it's about technical limitations, now it's impossible to give all the crystals back to all the players as easily as it was done the last time. SO there won't be a refund." Translation: It's a bit difficult to refund all the players now, and it's only two of the turrets anyway which'll be made better/worse, so let's not bother.

Hmm, I like Dictator's appearance quite a lot now, but I still think it's a little too bulky in some situations. This article brings back memories ^_^

Sorry, the vast majority of us haven't read the book. Well, I'd say that Socrates' question is a well-phrased one, though Polemarchus' response is not one I agree with. How do we know what is owed to our friends and enemies (ie what they deserve)? Maybe we haven't seen the full picture in such circumstances? Also, who or what is assumed to be able to administer/control acts of justice - man or God? For if it is God, though I don't think so as the style of writing doesn't seem to be religiously inclined and God isn't mentioned, that renders my first two questions void. Sorry if I've misunderstood, or if I'm taking this in the wrong direction - I've never read the book, so I just want to discover more about the context of this (ie clear up whether God is involved) before delving more deeply into why I think Polemarchus is wrong.

Thanks, sounds good... I'll wait for the players' ranks to be revealed; usually, two (invariably experienced) Russian Generalissimos would be able to beat the devs ^_^

Two Russian players will be *randomly* chosen, so will we get to find out who they are before the battle? Also, I'm guessing the paints will stop being sold just before the battle starts?

+1 - B looks kind of cluttered, anyway...

Hacking's always been popular in Silence - I remember the days where battles were literally fought out between hackers, with them teleporting to take each other's flag. It had it's own unique gameplay - protect the hackers on your team from their hackers ^_^

Out of interest, are you American? Because your lack of knowledge about that guy is understandable if you aren't ^_^

RIP. I guess it was a fun map, even though I thought the gameplay was pretty boring, and made worse with the low gravity. But on the plus side, new physics instead ^_^

Bruce Lunga, whose account was , used to be the English community's manager (CM) before Semyon was around; he's basically almost single-handedly responsible for developing the community from its humble beginnings to what it is today ^_^

Same to you too :wub:

Need to test these out, seems awesome ^_^ +1

Does Semyon listen more to individual mods or to individual players? Or does he hear them out equally?

Nice work, 'specially the raindrop ones - pretty professional stuff :o

Recruit to WO1. Took me one and a half years.

Ah, that's fine then; I understand your point. Great response to my feedback, thanks for that ^_^

FBI upvoted this post, so it has official support from him, right? If so, it's great to see that mods are agreeing with some of the points that players are making. Or maybe his finger slipped when he was pressing the dowvote button :lol:

:lol:

Interesting that you're the first poster here, as you're the one person I would never trust *cough*cartzz*cough* Anyway, I'd only really trust .

Don't make assumptions if you have no idea what actually happened -________- Stay on topic, or PM me about it.
