The United Regions of Dave can assure you that the neighbouring state of netheregions are indeed a geographical area, however they are just a small group of hillpeople that live in the mountains nearby that broke off our nation many years ago that dislike our plans to enter the arms business. Their name is a constant punchline for our comedians and we thank them for it.
nope.

I got a partial implementation here: http://www.mzzt.net/cwc/

You can register and make weapons, that's about it for now. Still have to do buying and firing weapons, and then I'll move on to the non-essential profile pages and profile editing. And a big reset button since there is no end-state either.

I don't intend for this to be used for any CURRENT games, but for new ones. Or something.

Rules need to be tweaked a bit IMO, EX Pommy's weapons have little R&D cost but he can still earn as much as anyone else and they can still do as much damage when bought and fired in bulk. Solution would be to either restrict the number of other player weapons you can own at once, or to make it that you can't fire more than one weapon at a time until someone else fires a weapon, then you can fire another.

2008-06-15, 12:01 AM #124
The rules likely do need to be tweaked, but I'd like it played at least a couple more times before I figure out what I think needs tweaking. So if any of you want to try and take advantage of anything you think can be exploited in the game next time, by all means, do so.

Also, I'm excited to see MZZT's coding at work. :)

Looking nice MZZT, though please don't erase the weapons again :p I put a lot of thought into it the first time, and it was hard to remember it all :p

Nice work MZZT, this makes it a heck of a lot easier to keep track of everything thats going on.

Meh I am sooo using the Gay Bomb for the next round .....
2008-06-15, 11:44 AM #128
I need to figure out how to limit everyone to one account. I got some ideas but I'll wait until I finish coding to do something about that.

2008-06-15, 12:40 PM #129
Yayy MZZT

And, why can't we just *agree* to not be stupid and register multiple accounts? I know trusting the user is one of the more idiotic things to do when developing but in this case you're directly interfacing with the only, and very small collection of, users.

Someones done that already considering we got 3 star trek account in 5 minutes and one just bought as many weapons as possible from another, giving them a crapload of resources.
nope.
2008-06-15, 12:52 PM #131

You can attack now!

EDIT: nevermind its showing up right now

The front page is rather... full. Perhaps reduce those notices to just the essentials? Let us expand it to see more.

Also, while cute, when all the text is the same, it's no longer clever.
2008-06-15, 2:40 PM #137
When MZZT is done with the functionality, I would like to try and make the aesthetics better. We'll see how that goes.

just to let you know >_<

Hey MZZT, just to let you know, right now nations can be "revived" after they're in the red if someone buys something from them. Pomeria was just dead and someone bought a Phallus and now it has spruing back to life.

This is waaaay too fast without MAD and a way to input resources. :p
nope.

Man. I go to play Oblivion for a while and I don't know what the hell happened.

Oh well.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

Have we considered having all the MAD launches done at the same time, Diplomacy-style, with a countdown period for players to input their orders?

No one can win now. The Elite Republic doesn't have the damage to beat Roguelandia, and Roguelandia can't buy any weapons.
2008-06-15, 5:07 PM #158
As a suggestion, while I think about it... might be worth archiving the previous wars. So someone can actually see what happened if they missed it.

nope.

I was the second to register and I couldn't even finish making my carefully designed weapon! It was a gem, too.
