Re: Did PA team really just stop the internet?
But of course in WoW, when you logout or can't get online your character is safe and you lose none of your invested time and effort.
In Planetarion the stakes are a little higher for those who have accessibility problems. If you, Chika, were in a significant portion of the player base for whom connectivity to Jolt was lost, I'm sure your attitude would be entirely different.

Actually, I would have chunked it as a loss because I don't expect the internet to stop for me. :shrugs:
Its actually ironic how much of a heart PA team has in certain instances. I didn't know they had any feelings. Hard to tell when they are stone cold when it comes to proper administration of the game.

Re: Did PA team really just stop the internet?
I just moved houses, and I demand that planetarion should stop its ticks until i can get the interweb at the new house to work. Im from Norway, we made Planetarion, so we outrank the sexually ambivalent people of Canada!

Re: Did PA team really just stop the internet?
And I have to stick up another hour in the evening if I can be arsed to wait for the research to wrap up.
Can't we just blame the French? I was told on GD that it's a plausible thing to do under obscure circumstances.

Well, the french-Canadians could be blamed.
With their prancing and "oh la la".

Re: Did PA team really just stop the internet?
Now that you mention it, this whole "broken router" thing is very similar to when the French blew up the Greenpeace boat.

Re: Did PA team really just stop the internet?
You're never going to make a decision that pleases everyone. I don't mind putting the game on hold for a few hours while those little maple leaf lovin' Canucks get their internets back. Even though I'm eta 8, 9 and 10 from the planets I'm hitting!

Re: Did PA team really just stop the internet?
Im certain that if a major net provider in norway went down pa wouldnt be stopped, another silly decision.

Re: Did PA team really just stop the internet?
It's stupid to stop the game just because some tinpot ex colony can't keep it's computer's running right. If my ISP ****s up do I get to demand a tick stop till i get connection back? Don't be silly.

No, but really I did. It blew. But it happens so I don't get why those wankers should get ticks stopped for them.

Re: Did PA team really just stop the internet?
The internet is a serious business, and Planetarion is the most serious of all. Alki, you're wrong. Countless people suffered greatly because the game skipped a tick, you should not judge so lightly. Also, a friend of mine commited suicide, and I take offense at your post.

You can't say the French have never won anything, they won their civil war didn't they?
