Thoughts...and a couple Poles

Yes, I know its polls, be quiet 😛

Would anyone be interested in another RPG plugin similar to Mag Steelglass' Vengeance done either with the standard Ares ships or with VI3 ships/another TC? Vote!
a. yes, either
b. yes, ares
c. yes, TC
d) Ares lacks the required functionality for RPGs; leave them to EV/O/N
e) screw it, lern c++ and make arse 2 3d infinit playr dethmatch instead!!!

Would anyone be interested in a website hosting full strategy guides for Ares, all singleplayer plugins, all net plugins and for net Ares as well as hosting progress logs and media of upcoming plugins, hera articles and tutorials, tutorials for making simple 3d ships for a plug, links to Ares related sites etc.?
a. yes
b. no
c. you suck, make Ares 2 3d 64 player deathmatch(with no lag on 9600 baud connections on up!) or I'll hunt you down and exterminate you! bwhahahaha

  1. I'm hovering in between c, d, and e. However, it should read:

  1. Sounds sort of like an Ares Axis Revival. If we could find somewhere to host it (Laguna?), I'd wholeheartedly approve.

IIRC Laguna's (url="http://"http://www.xyz.n3.com")www.xyz.n3.com(/url) space is gone, at least Mag's site is. If there are enough people who want something like this I'd be willing to use all my life savings( :frown: ) and buy some space+a domain(www.arescenter.com / (url="http://"http://www.ares-info.com")www.ares-info.com(/url) perhaps ?) at (url="http://"http://www.racknine.com")www.racknine.com(/url) or something similar.

To question 1 I answer b, and to two I answer a strong and resounding a. Hope that helps! I would contribute my life savings but the postage cost of sending money would pretty much eliminate it ;). I would love a new Ares page. I'm so desperate I keep going to arescentral.com even though I know it goes to that "Whatever Rising" page.

I still have about 60 megs+ of web space I don't use if it's needed.

------------------

It seems that we will be forever afflicted with "Poles"... oh, the tragedy of cultural niche lingual shifts...

Oh- AA. Especially on the second one- I don't think there's ever been a truly definitive Ares site.

Actually, if you made an Ares page I would be glad to assist in organizing some of it, and making a few strategy or info pages (not my strategies or info, don't worry). As long as you do most of the dirty work ;).

Excellent. Guess I could just buy the domain and link it to your space then.

...

goes to work on pages
(edit: laguna does your webspace support SQL and PHP(for a forum for progress logs))

Um,
Hey, another Pole, me like Ares Poles!!
Question 1, a.
We've heard this before! I would be interested in helping with doing the levels, if it ever gets off the ground, and if it is properly organised prior to commencement...
Question 2, a.
Websites are quite cheap, about 150 USD a year to register and maintain a good site. If you are interested in learning more Patrick, then check out (url="http://"http://www.pair.com/")http://www.pair.com/(/url) they're a good start.
Then of course you need software to write the web site... I use Dreamweaver and Go Live and I would be willing to assist with constructing the site if the other authors were using Dreamweaver or Go LIve. I would probably also be able to make web site space available in a few months time.
The size of the downloadable files might present a problem as many domain hosts place a charge on traffic above a certain rate of MB per Month. You could get round this by spreading the content over several hosts.

------------------
Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

I use claris home page 3 🙂 (lol) for some reason I'd guess dreamweaver and GoLive are superior 😉

I used to use simpletext but my lack of html knowledge beyond <hr>, <br>, <p>, <img src ""> and <a href ""> convinced me to use HomePage instead 🙂

Yeah, I know quite a bit more - frames, forms, tables, Javascript, CSS, etc.

1. b is preferrable, c is fine, though.
2. a

In this day and age of drag and droppiness simple text is a very long winded way of authoring web sites...
It's seldom that I would do a site in simple text, though I do admit that I use it for "laying out" java script...

Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...
