ok we need better communication methods, in the description of the edit u said it was a result of discussion with sarduin... who is sarduin lol? why doesn't he register on this forum?
so I'm either proposing something like a mailinglist, or a chatroom with offline messages, cuz it's better if we can discuss these things ;)
I'd suggest a forum that we can invite developers to
problem with a forum again is that it's hosted by someone, plus it is not very fast...
There may be another issue - I think this forum only allows NC customers to post here. (Check with the mods to be sure.)Quote:

I did post a disclaimer at the beginning of the Wiki article stating that nothing was set in stone and that gameplay wasn't set either.
I posted it to get an idea on "paper" and kick start the discussion process. I think everyone should have an input and then our dev team pours through the responses and develops a gameplay that is possible and suits the game.
I'll continue what I have so far, especially the gameplay mechanics so that we can start hashing out the details.
ye ofc, like i said in the last post, it's mostly miscommunication, the disclaimer in the changelog is not very apparent ;) so I'd prefer if we could actually communicate so all people know, mal and me have discussed quite a bit of things in game, while we've never even talked to sarduin, which imho should change, we need to communicate, especially on things like gameplay and core mechanics.
Consider him beaten over the head until he posts in here. He reads the forums 4+ times a day, but for whatever reason, doesn't post anything.
What is a better way to communicate? Forums seem like the best way for us, being scattered across the globe. I had PMed some folks with a forum that I had setup long ago for something else, but had added a forum for NC: S. If you guys want to use it, I can distribute it to the members of our dev team for our use in development. If there is something else, like a chat room software or something, I'd be up to using that. Just let me know.
maybe something like a chatroom that keeps all the text stored online, like a shoutbox
Or IRC? Could save the chat logs from that ;)Quote:

Ok, so lets set up a mailing list like a normal open source/ community project :)
- Everyone is instantly notified via email when a new message is sent (obviusly)
- Someone joining later can download old messages
- Fast, friendly, always on.
Sound good?
yep, how? :P
I set up a list:
view list info/download archive: ncs.g0dsoft.net
list address: ncs@ncs.g0dsoft.net
sign up for the list here: http://ncs.g0dsoft.net/listinfo.cgi/ncs-g0dsoft.net
Then once you are a subscriber all you need to do is send an email to ncs@ncs.g0dsoft.net with your discussion and we are good to go!
I have set it up to require confirmation and approval to subscribe (to prevent random bots from infesting the list).
If/when we get a neocron themed domain we can move the list.
ur the man :DQuote:
