Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo
-
Total aside but mad respect for anyone that chooses the nick “Trashcan”.

@kopecup Many thanks. Can’t remember ever dealing with Zephyr or Trashcan, but the name Entropy sounds familiar. Unsure if that’s a good or a bad thing. I’m sure their absence will be felt among players who aren’t staff alts or staffer’s pets.
-
So Cujo fires a bunch of staff for what I assume is pushing him to do something about Hadrix and/or the crime of saying “hey you know those posters have a point”, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the original post was accurate.
This is a great object lesson for those who are always demanding logs/proof. The truth will come out without them.
-
When in doubt, double down on shitty behavior because confronting your own problems is far too difficult. Nah, it’s just easier to let the sex pests run amok.
-
I hate to say it when I’m not 100% sure but I think it was Zephyr I wound up playing with primarily while I was there and they were awesome, definitely a huge positive force on the game if so. If they are who I am remembering, that is genuinely shameful.
-
not to shitpost but can we get that talking fedora back in here, I want to hear the latest hot take on how this is reasonable.
-
@Wizz Whoever was looking to build their own Star Wars game may want to get in touch with Zephyr and the other booted admins. Sounds like Cujo just vetted some potential staff for you.

This is a great idea. @Jennkryst, you should consider reaching out. If nothing else, they have experience admining in the genre, and could provide valuable input for setting things up.

I can’t wait to see what comes next, this is one hell of a ride!

Please feed me all your coding knowledge. Or just write the code for me. OR BOTH!
(Everyone is going ‘read this and that, and they will tell you what these different strings of code mean’ while I am way earlier in the process than everyone assumes. Just ‘wait… Linux? I haven’t tried to figure out linux since (in the biggest twist of irony) AoA died the first time, over a decade ago’.)

Well - I suppose if people keep buying (as in logging on there) they will keep selling (as in, all the things they do)

I have a generic database with a D20 Saga system for RhostMUSH I can pass to you. Not sure what codebase you’d want, but it’s available.

D20 Saga system
Too crunchy, TOO CRUNCHY.
But also, thanks for the offer. I may still take you up on it, even if not using it, to try and rip apart bits to cobble back together into something else. I am hyper-focused on figuring out
who to annoy to programFFG with some kind of Ares-like async web portal but also like… items.UNRELATED TO ALL THIS, but related to THAT OVER THERE:
@Sammich said in Prospective Star Wars:
I am the worst kind of Star Wars fan in that I am not actually a Star Wars fan and instead I just really want to be a badass bitch with a laser sword.
This reminded me about…actually that’s a lie, I remembered a while ago, but was looking for a convenient excuse to bring up.
And lewd gif is that excuse! AoA used to have +kinks code implemented. Incidentally, it included Lightsabers as one of the +kinks. -
@Jennkryst I now regret everything :C

I fully agree. I loathe the code. The feature set and end-user stuff is fun. But the code… the code…
Trying to modfy that code is like forcefully removing your eyeballs, surgically replacing your sexual organs with them, then willfully having sex with a rabid honey badger…

@Sammich Just gotta remember to include a ‘I am cool with you paging me out of the blue with lewd ideas’ choice, that only people who are actually cool with it will be listed.

@Pavel I’ve heard that about the code, and it doesn’t surprise me. I’ve played on several SAGA games, and that was the number one complaint among staffers; tweaking the code.
But even without that, d20 Star Wars, SAGA or otherwise, is a giant, steaming mess. The system is governed too heavily by numbers, classes, and builds. Even if it’s heavily house-ruled to make chargen and advancement more flexible, characters still tend to have a cookie-cutter feel to them, and the play-a-card system for both The Force and starship maneuvers provides endless frustration. You’ll never get to play the character you actually wanted to play, just whatever you can kludge together with what the classes, races, feats, talents, and attribute points allow.
And when the dice enter play, everything slows to a crawl! What fun I had on those games was usually in spite of the system, not because of it. Good players tend to be the only thing that keeps these games open.
