t3st3r, you should read again all this thread from start, because all has been exposed many times. Also this is because of your first argument ("The fact I used GPLed program to process photo does not makes this photo GPLed") that Player Data are not public. They're not public for technic...

To my taste it's okay to have "webcams" translating pictures from public places. In fact I consider this idea fresh and interesting. Why I think it's okay? If someone conducts some activity in public place, they have to understand these actions are public - everyone can watch these actions...

Except this project is "copyleft", specifically GPL. By the GPL licence, ownership for the code and art is to their respective authors. GPL haves nothing to do with processed data. The fact I used GPLed program to process photo does not makes this photo GPLed. Processed data are independe...

About data... well, since this flamewar is long, let's state some views and rant a bit as well :mrgreen:. 1) Copyright stuff and data ownership. I'm finding Platyna (and some other) statements utterly incorrect and maybe even unlawful. Most juruisdictions would recognize creator of IP object as the ...

Why do you insist on calling it discrimination, that a GM chose to say "this spell is not to be used for this event", and then reacted to it being used? Because only mages have to face certain inconvenience and risks to be blamed. As a very basic example, I could hold an event and say &qu...

There are many ways in which a mage can use spells to interfere with others. Agree, but there are many ways non-mage can interfere with others as well. One good example are speed archers with potions who can easily frustrate almost everyone by getting all drops and "stealing" lot of XP. Y...

sadly t3st3r, your writing but not listening! We write and you argue, you need to listen and understand! its all there, your too quick to argue! That's untrue. I read and in fact I admitted there are some valid points. And yes, you have to try to make fun for everyone. But lvl 40 would not (and sho...

You make some valid points about magic, but take a minute to look at the other side. For the sake of this argument a newer level 40 attends his/her first spawn party, level 70+ mages use commands that either 1) cause them to lag and they die I'm agree that lags are bad. Though in fact it's a techni...

t3st3r, if you really want to improve the game, I suggest you host an event some time. Show us how to really have fun. In fact, when I see it's boring in game and players are idling and I have time, I sometimes launch Candor for similar reasons. That's the only way I know for player to spawn enough...

Rules are different for each game and for each organizer. You could make a contest where people are disqualified if they use the letter 'c.' As amusing as that might be, you could not ask someone else to write and install code on the server to enable you to prevent the letter 'c' from being typed. ...

Good luck with it. Though because a numerous reasons it wouldn'be so easy for you to cause grief to me.

Its a bit hard to spawn and continue an event when nothing on the screen is moving and i have to log back in :P. I understand the reason behind this. There are also players with weak PCs and crappy internet as well. Yet IMHO anyone intending to play MMOs seriously should try their best to get a bet...

I'm sorry I couldn't make it through all the text of your posts. If you have a solution to what you claim is the problem, please present it in usable form and not buried in a 7-paragraph manifesto. Otherwise, see above definition of "your problem" vs. "my problem." Okay, I will ...

The Gm team does not make the rules, we enforce them! We also discuss what actions should be done under certain scenarios. That keeps our actions consistent! Yet I never seen published list of "spells not to use" and yesterday I discovered that itenplz is "illegal" and "adv...

This is all a bit dramatic, I think. Sorry, I'm really reached my limits, sir. Like Crush said, events that GMs hold are their own choice, and subject to their own rules. I understand this, but there is simply no clear and well defined rules set you could learn and use :evil: I'll be honest, Hello ...
