Wiki: Game Controller
This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: Game Controller
Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.
Omnia Mutantur, Nihil Interit.I couldn't find an article on using console controllers, so I added a note at the top of "Game Controller" that directs people looking for info on input devices to the "Mouse vs. Joystick" page, which I think is the closest thing the wiki's got. If anyone wants to add info on usign x-box or other controllers, it could be mentioned on that page; or if you want to make a new page, it should at least be linked from the Mouse vs. Keyboard page, and then the note I added to the Game Controller page could be edited appropriately.
In any case, I don't think "Game Controller" itself should be changed, since... it accurately describes what the term means in Allegiance, and only a few people use x-box controllers and the like anyway. A disambiguation note like the one I added might be a better option -- or at least, that's what I feel.

We need more confusing descriptions...Bard wrote:QUOTE (Bard @ Jan 12 2010, 10:24 PM) Should be renamed "Game Control"
"Game Controller" should be about using X-Box controllers instead of joysticks.
Just keep it as it is.

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

It would help if such a page existed.
