Now we'll have the pleasure of waiting for another deadline to be broken.

Step one: replace everything that works.

Step four: thank you for your patience.

thanks for taking the suggestion to merge the mystics page etc on board.
a personal suggestion from me as well as other users is to leave the names, labels etc. there's no real reason to change them after all.
would it be too much to ask, for the text messages such as the army messages to be broken up into paragraphs so pasting them on irc for the bot to pickup can be done properly?

Adapt your tools to work with the game, not the game to work with your tools.

So I guess they don't care testers are being deleted for no reason. Whatever, I just won't play your (soppy) game.

Could we get a wol end date announced that will be adhered to? Im playing the beta code and it seems to be a couple weeks away. Then it needs to be tested on genesis for however long. Could we do a standard 12 week wol age for this age, and do 1 more 12 week age on the old code? As with many projects, you can never have enough time to tinker with it, and I'm sure the community would rather see direction rather than not knowing how to play out the Wol age.

Send a message via MSN to Dolgil
considering the problems they have now with the old code, I would like to see the new code on WoL as soon as possible. I think we are close enough to a "normal" age on WoL as is.

like i guess b4 about the last 2 eoa of wol (and was right about them ^^) and also that gen will end in 1-2 weeks .... i have also wrote here from the start that is going to be around 12 weeks age anyway from what i can tell ....

http://charts.thedragonportal.net/History.html

it will also be best to just end it at the end of oct :))

btw like puppy101 sug to fix "army messages to be broken up into paragraphs" (which i think its a good idea) i also would like to ask something

1) add kd nw and enemy nw in cb
2) race & schools in sci page

i have a few more but if they will do only those 2 it will be great :P

Libraries effects will give you something you need to get with a survey... I'm against that.
