"MT_Gouru,


I know that you were the origianl poster on this thread and with all due respect to Drakier but if you say something is dead then until we hear "from the horses mouth" that decal is back on I am not sure who's posts I should be reading. You posted that all work on Decal had been stopped due to the change in the COC which has now been reverted. After Ibn posted on this thread that that change was comming and when it did in fact happen 2 days later I am sure that you should have posted a quick note "Decal is being worked on again". And I am sure that most of the Decal useres would sit and wait till it was pronuced DONE and ready.....If it take 2 weeks or 2 months.

"


First...where did I ever say that all work on Decal has stopped? Do you just read titles and not the content? Did the reference I make to a 'joke post' go right over your head?


When I stated that Einstein alone was enough reason for me to keep fighting for Decal, did you think it was some other Decal I was referring to? Or that I could possibly fight for something while killing it?


My statements were clear to ANYBODY that would take the time to read them.


(restarting thread cuz I started last one)

Date Posted: 7/19 1:05pm Subject: Decal is now dead


With the change in CoC all unattended play (not just combat) is now forbidden. This includes tradebots, craftbots, tinkbots, buffbots, and virtually any other kind of bot you can think of. (well...technically, standing unattended with no 3rd party utilites loaded in one place doing absolutely nothing is still legal)


However, according to Ibn, they are not changing their enforcement standards, which based on past performance would mean to me that if a particular envoy on a particular day decides to enforce some part of the CoC, you will be banned.


They spent quite a bit of time crafting their old CoC to help clarify what is and isn't legal. The good news is the new one is very clear. The bad news is that most uses of Decal are now against the CoC.


Removing the functionality that makes botting possible also removes all the functionality required for proper use of Decal, and as best I can tell, anything we do will be against the CoC.


Not wanting to put our toons at risk. Decal is now officially dead.


p.s....

I haven't decided if this is a joke post or not yet....



That is your post. YOU said it was dead. (Note: You said OFFICIALLY dead. To some people, that implies that you are speaking for the other Devs.) YOU said you didn't know if that was a joke or not. So how in the frell are we supposed to know?

Ummmm....cuz later that day I told people why I named it that and what the purpose of the thread was? Could that possibly be how I expected people to know?

You said "I have not decided if this is a joke or not." Meaning that is the truth until otherwise spoken by you.

But only when you actaully post them and not expecting us to be mind readers.

See.. I was all excited at the title.. and now I'm dissappointed...


*sniffle*


I wasn't confused though if that helps.


How about we just wait until they get it updated and when they don't have a heavy workload then you guys can ***** and moan to your heart's content.

Magik...


I suggest you give up, you're not even close to Magi in effectiveness.


The Einstein remark is quote of MYSELF from the original thread. It does not require mind-reading, just simple everyday reading. Try it sometime.
