Then again there was no reason to not mention it to the public and make this whole matter a bit less suspicious.
yes there was, i wanted to give a nearly completted and usable tool out and not a half finished something
Also if it was only intended for the devs as of now, why is it shared almost exclusively amongst eastern UIF ?
when you are trying to accomplish something in work or in private life, you normaly have a group which supports you in one way or the other, people who help you accomplishing your idears if you can't do it all alone. This is here the case too. In the first month it was only Guika and me as tester. Then taking in more Wolves to see if it works with more people, then yes those i know closely from my alliance, but less for politcal reasons within strat, but i just knew those lads and we needed to see if different factions "as an option within the websites" works. Then admins and devs have been informed after being able to show a first alpha, then gradually other factions were included, again those i were closer to, due to different factors, it is just human nature as it works out everywhere.
Sure, i was only offered access to the "beta" after i informed kinngrim that uif were considering quitting, and since he's scared of his neighbours so much he started looking for new allies.
wow, and i really thought we got along while we chatted for like 2 hours in steam, didn't know you are that paranoid.
Btw you didn't inform me about quitting in the first place that was cooties, afterwards i started talking to you about the reasons and yes also to get you to stay, but i also told you i don't care if as enemy or neutral or whatever. I offered you a cease fire, which i would have discussed with Eastern Block if you would have been interested, wait actually i did discuss that with Rogue and i believe Tyr and they have said if you would be interested why not, they still had some respect left for Nords.
Andswaru, i mentioned to you how different it was how you approached me in steam and here, i really wonder why that is? Couldn't you tell me there your opinions, but needed to sugar code them?
The addon is still not complettly operational, you often need to scroll in and out or refresh so that the shared data is shown at all. As there had been many versions since start, from the around 20 guys in my faction only have like 4-5 the latest version installed, the others aren't compatible with the new data base interface, the automated update for firefox aint working yet, sometimes you see doubled spots of the same party and other not yet solved visual problems and other stuff on the website needs to be reworked, that but all stands atm in the background as Guika is implementing atm a Diplomatic & Contract System. Sure these things have influence onto the game experience and give different advantages, i never denied that, but till the final product isn't ready and you couldn't judge the whole system as it is supposed to be, i would ask for some patience and goodwill and perhaps in the end you could see the benefits which come out of it.
...All this not done makes it look like you wanted to abuse it.
exactly, thats why devs and admins had been informed about it and that is why there is a posssibility to create your own faction instead of jsut taking everyone into one faction
Not to mention that apart from Nords (who were offered after they said they quit, read Andswaru's post up), it was 100% exclusive to eastern bloc.
seeing connections where there aren't any are we again? conspiracy nuts with tin foil hats are surrounding us in the internetz that is my resume. Nords were offered this while they haven't yet decided onto leaving. This was given freely without them agreeing onto going into alliance with Wolves or wanting anything in return ...
Except I don't even play strat and am merely expressing my own opinion ...
