Intermittent access next week (in Public Record)

FYI: I will have very intermittent net access until October. Translate that however you like :)

good luck!

it's time for us to get our act together so fearless leader can pay for an actual net connection

Are you now a free man?

No, just in the middle of several somethings. Afterall, freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

I'm back. What'd I miss?

Chicken Little went on a date with the boy who cried wolf

?

:( Posted on my phone. Obviously didn't go through.

Was gonna say;

Anythign important? What's the 30 second summary?

Allot of talk about the rolling bonus idea.

Here's a link..

Summary;

The usual. Rolling Bonus, balance issues, lack of new players, lack of new items.

I think that just about covers it. ;)

Oh, and a few people wanting a BA timer :)

And Mr Chairman stealing $582 of mine! :P

Mustn't forget that! ;)

Lol! That's actually pretty funny

What in the world is a BA timer?

Its a timer displayed on the sidebar that tells you how much longer you have, until your BA is maxed.

It's really not that difficult to mentally find out, Ankou.

But it would be nice if you have a middling amount of BA and some period of time before money time ends...you'll want to know if you need to spend any of the BA during money time, or if you can save it without losing any and spend it in regular time.

Or if you've got to head to a short meeting, EXP time is in a couple hours, and you want to know how much you can spend and come back to max BA just before EXP time starts.

There are plenty of occasions in which it would be useful and one wouldn't be required to sit down and do math just to know how much they should be fighting and when they should be back.

On a similar note, it may be nice to have a note about how much time left in/until bonus time.

Is telling time really that hard?

Was that rhetorical?

(if not, then the answer appears to be 'yes')

I was more thinking that it could be one less thing for someone new to have to remember... but no, telling time is not hard. I know when the wacky times are, as does everyone else here, but those new people I keep hoping for do not.

I suppose we could have some JS timers in the sidebar that appear during whacky times, hyperlinked to wiki pages and all.

Fex/Lamu - care to try that?

I would also like there to be implemented a buddy system on here. So when I'm at work my "buddy" can use my ba for me, of course after they look at the timer and know exactly when to use said ba.
