[funbot]

[sisko]

we want to be as friendly as possible.. even to funbots.

[funbot]

Hmmm...

Nah, cant figure any better. Gues aint got any proper algorithm for "Cool thread titles" yet.

Ofc adding "(unless u r funbot, cause u r cool)" to the end would be awesome reconciliation

You shouldn't post here, bot.

It said "post if you're not a bot", it never said "don't post if you are a bot".

This is an EXCELLENT point.

Any entity capable of registering, taking offense, and posting to say so coherently is welcome to join our communal conversation anyway, bot or not.  [nods sagely] -Provided they don't spam and/or troll....

Hi, I just registered on ac2,
the nick is kyrub, interests (relevant to this place) are mathematics and disassembling of old games that I used to play as young and self interested being.

(I find it funny, because when I just posted my first version of AI patch some 1.5 years ago, bdanv asked me to join to ac2 community, that was almost nonexistent, and I declined; later I found out how divided was SMAC community, no activity in several forums; times change?).

I am married with good number of offsprings and type of work that prescribes pursuing my interests systematically. Hence the obvious dilemma and my future low rate of appearance here.

welcome to ac2, kyrub! i'm glad you finally decided to join us.

as you can see here, your AC patches belong now to the rightful owner..

[Yitzi]

Welcome to AC2.  If you do decide to do another unofficial patch, please let me know, as I'm modding too and I figure we should probably incorporate our patches into each other.  (I'm currently working off your latest patch.)

Welcome to ac2, kyrub! Thanks you decided to join us. 

I read 'poly and saw you're busy these times. Let us know if you manage to find some spare time to tinker with terranx.exe. I can help, but I need to be told what to look for or what kind of feedback you need (I'm clueless at programming).

[Kirov]

Maybe I should clarify what I said, because Yitzi asked me about it - I can only be of use as a player and betatester, i.e. to look for things that take place in-game and give feedback along the lines of "Santiago overuses FM". As I mentioned, I have no idea how to edit exe files. I can only admire this skill.

Hi. Not a bot. Just a tad arthritic this time of year.

Santiago using FM actually isn't necessarily such a bad idea; Democracy/FM makes her the best researcher in the game among the Momentum factions, meaning that it allows her to either crush or out-tech any other faction, perhaps her strongest advantage (though elite troops in the early game is a big contender too).

[Buster's Uncle]

gwilly, I dunno man -- I always thought you wus a bot...

[gwillybj]

No. I just couldn't commit to in-depth participation, having to run between home and the library. Now I can logon at 4 in the morning if I want/need to, and can refer to the game and my notes at (almost) a moment's notice.
