ToD is coming in 2 weeks. A new tank is coming soon. The Ki-84 is almost done. Gunns will kill you if you drink his brew. Hitech is an AMAZING magician. Pyro likes Corona, Be sure Robert Shaw's stick is well secured, Phantom has lost the eqivalent of a good sized woman, don't get in Gunn's cockpit, don't get the 6 burger special at Denny's..... there's more but i'm tired.

Why would a thread asking what news was disseminated at the con be locked?

Well, I gained the impression that the con goers had been gagged, and I wasn't the first to use that word. Also, I can't help noticing that the vB Code tinkering coincided with the con - to stop pictures being posted perhaps?  Seems like there's something to hide...

"Well, I gained the impression that the con goers had been gagged...."


 Usually they are.  If there is something the developer wants people to keep quiet about.  It seems to be a right of passage for those who make the convention. Not that I agree with it but historically it seems to be that way.



"... stop pictures being posted perhaps? Seems like there's something to hide.."

 You're out in left field on this. It was becaue of the mahroons in the OT forum posting inflammatory pictures and links.

Out in right field yourself Westy.  Beet's theory actually ties right in to the gamer/simmer dilemna.

If I were Skuzzy, and folks were posting inflammatory pics and links, I would issue a written warning, and simultaneously delete the offending material. For a second occurrence, I would again delete the offending material, and ban the offender from the board by IP address.

Simply removing vB Code features doesn't stop those maroons; it merely inconveniences them.

moot  kock yourself out with the wacko conspiracy/ulterior motive theories.

The con Q and A was two and half hours of wide ranging discussion.  It's pretty difficult to give a complete recap of that.  There was nothing hush-hush about it.

[GRUNHERZ]

Any highlights Pyro?

Westy,

Thanks for the link. I think I had read that post or one like it. Shame that such measures are necessary. Does this mean there'll be no Con pics in the O Club?

[Edbert]

We talked about TOD for well over half of the session. It was a high level discussion as many details are still undecided.

We talked about game features and how the designers can use rewards to motivate desireable behaviors (or vice versa of course). This came up over and over with subjects like dive bombing with 4 engined bombers and no tracking of kill-streaks and repair-pads etc.

The session ended when someone mentioned skip-bombs for the second time though

"Does this mean there'll be no Con pics in the O Club?"

 No idea of course.  However I've yet to see anyone even talk about Con pix beyond those seen via the webcam. Perhaps some of this years conventions goers will get some time over the next day or so and post some links with Con pix that they took.

I'd enjoy matching some of the faces to handles (for those that I don't already know)  too.
