Okay, so

a) You have the power to decide what people think and can therefore can change whatever they say to suit your perspective.

b) You are derailing what could be a productive talk about moving Allegiance forward. I'm just trying to get ideas going, and damnit, people are saying some pretty smart stuff. Please don't hijack threads.

Can't be that hard.

Yeah, I mean I know jack @#(! about coding (discovered a while ago that's not my bag, my bag is playtesting, writing, and what the MTG crowd would consider "design/development," i.e. core dev), but I had a lot of interesting ideas I wanted to throw around to take the gameplay Allegiance has and refine it down to its cores, then add on bells and whistles. I sat down and wrote a design documentation thingy and even worked out the various places I wanted the HUDs to go as well as how soloqueue and player behavior would be worked out community wide.

I even got drunk one night and dreamed up a worldwide tournament schedule that put its major tournaments just outside of major American sports events, codified the rules for each squad, and how the prize payout structure would work

There's a HELLUVALOT here for an Allegiance 2, and the huge upswing in ESports just makes it even better because right now most ESports is either singles events (Melee, Starcraft 2) or 5-on-5 MOBAs (League, Dota2). We're missing the big 11-11 style Football/Football (depending on your country) games that involve a helluvalot of strategy more than just one guy winning his one-on-one matchup and carrying the game.

If i got something I'll share. But i think i overestimated state of the art. Seems they implemented most of their demo in dotppt instead of dotnet ;-).

On the other hand: assert (ping()<0.01f);%problem solved
I have many nontechnical solutions to the delay problem, because i'm aware of the mathematical solutions and respect them. I wonder how much the game can be paced down until it is no more allegiance? (Or to positively spoken: if we upscaled all objects by factor 2.5 in size would anyone notice?).

Also I don't think that the net problems are a show stopper for allegiance. They weren't a stopper in 2000 and literally everything has gotten better in the internet (on technology side).

I mostly agree with you Lexaal, but on some critical areas I completely disagree.

I guess I must retire this thread. It's a shame it got hijacked by the thought police. Good luck Allegiance, this thread was your way out of the abyss.
