NO Spring is alive!

Imo we need more visibility, autohost moderation and some improvements there and there (ppl are working on) but soon people will come back!

(fingers crossed)

We have done everything right! Shotgun approach (every direction, every style, every taste)! The engine devs did great work. And the comunity still attracts quality people. If something got lost over the years its enthusiastic near_nubs (like i started) because you now need a lot of know how even for a basic map. But we are pretty much alive, just not all thrown into one TAr-pot together. If the kids stay out long, and a house is quite for a night or two during the week, does the family within cease to be?

I agree, but I think also that bring new players and make them feel welcome is something that we should work on.

We could use some sort of daily actualised cartoon, who is only linked in main. You know the sort of thing, like daily check by on xkcd when bored- would be great if it was on AFs Site, but link only to be found through the main-channel.

Chances are big, that once you joined, you stick for a game.

Also, we could use a "Shortgame Option": If somebody drops by during his lunchbreak, he doesent get a whole game going. He wants a 15 mins entertaiment before beeing dragged back howling-and screaming into reallife.
So the whole, waiting for game, building base thing is a little bit hinderous there. Really cool would be, if we had "scenarios", you load the game, your base is allready there, your units allready produced, you basically enter a dsd games at the peak of excitment. Everyone has equal cards.

Its not the world in conflict system, but it could do.

I have that in KP:

Split the map into an equal amount of datavent for each team, and cover them with buildings.

I found out this make the beginning harder because you suddendly have all those units everywhere to manage without the time to take your marks.

Hi time you do a little more advertising in main, and elsewhere..

Well, while they still argue, should it be BA, and must it be DSD, you and your buddy, could steel away for 10 mins, and play KP. And be back in notime, having fun, while they voted in-vain.

I shall do just that! But dont you come bitching and complaining, if the users are paining!

And it means work for you to. You got to filter the addlines out, store the good ones and repeat them with a chatbot.

ZKL for rapid downloads is perfectly fine, as SL does not support it and you cant seriously expect general windows users to use rapid commandline.

Didn't say I do. I just think people who cannot or do not want to install ZeroK Lobby should know that there's a dedicated gui for it.

the automute is *not* as bad as it looks, it's just not sending the line that gets them muted (to them less spammy)

I did a ton of specific tests and it's very hard to get muted without pasting 2 (usually 3+) decent-length lines in a row, saying the same word very quickly, or saying the same rather long line twice very quickly

it also will not mute natural conversation unless you press enter every word - it cools down faster than any human can type
