No we don't. We just need a server that is sanitized of TA content, and that is coming... fairly soon.

so all the non ta games WILL seperate?if so its great news.

Yup. I am fairly confident the PURE in particular and Evo as well can stand on their own two feet. Not so sure about EE but I think with a little outside advertising EE could rise up again. Gundam and Starwars have massive potential fanbases. So we'll do pretty well I think.

+1 than.
i think all these games have a huge potential and are shadowed by the TA popularity.

Well, now after a little Time Travell, i am back to complain about all those Mods having returned to main# and stripped it compeltely off its playerbase for TotalAnything... I demand forcejoins by the server for Games who have a A as second Shortcutletter

Different server picasso. Games using illegal content will be quite explicitly banned from use.

Sorry, Sir, your on the Internets. They do everything here, you can´t lawsuit them for it, and there are only two Red turn-off Buttons, one in Russia, the other always close to Mr.Bush.

But, let´s try to see the Positiv side, nobody will complain about rantless ends over the internet doing illegal things, and you can do the same stuff..

Picasso Votes for more Internet-Off-Buttons in the World

Just let´s take the Case somebody pirates Spring, completely out of Contentcontroll? Can we do anything? Besides Flamez? Or hitmail him to Atari (if he uses TA-Stuff)...

Oh, inspiration hits me, we take the worst of the comunity (me included ) compres them into a Bomblike Shell and drop them into his main#&board

Hard to start a game of BA if the server won't allow you to.

We all know this will not happen.
It's a pointless discussion.

You're kidding right? Yes it will. A month or two away maybe. Most of it is dependent on the next spring version.

I do not want to make gundam independent, I want it to be a part of the lobby spring community, the fact that I can play TA, Gundam, Starwars, EE or S44 in one lobby is important to me.

This. I don't think fighting circumstantial repression with solid authoritative repression will work out. It would make some sense, though, to have servers specific to single games/mods, similar to how most commercial games' multiplayer modes are managed. It wouldn't surprise me in the least for a different "primary mod syndrome" to occur in a non-ta setting, whether the dominant species would be evo or pure or x other game.

wasn't there going to be some thing where mods have their own installer and the lobby in it filters all but one game and doesn't join #main or something?

so new players might get a game together with that mod, but old players can play everything?

We had discussion about having lobby settings that if a player clicked on say a gundam lobby shortcut the player would automatically join the gundam channel and the games list would be filtered to show gundam and allow the user to show other mods if desired.

it wasn't so much about locking the lobby for a player as much as it was meant to allow for a separate environment that would allow playerbase isolation. With gundam I want to do this for your protection:

Uhm, why, eh, well it´s the most important .. no it aint any more, well uhm, it is the grandfathermod of CA, wich today is guilty of some stand-Alone-Mods not having suxess.. no that sounds far to made up. Stop whining and shut the Hell up.

simply put BA helped spring survive during a stagnant period but now its just been surpassed and is just gimping the community and putting new people off + 1 for a new server with no BA or *A mods even if it means no CA till it gets rid of IP property
