Aha, then may I present to you--

Current ACR bugs, organized by priority:
http://www.alandfaraway.org/forums/view ... 68&t=45559

Current requested ACR enhancements, currently under revision for organization:
http://www.alandfaraway.org/forums/view ... 97&t=45522

Except for the enhancements Ronan has requested. He wrote tickets for those and assigned them to himself. You may see the rebel's input here:
http://www.alandfaraway.org/support/support_acr

I've not put them on the central bug / enhancement thread because I'm counting Ronan's treatment as his taking responsibility (so we're not really looking for anyone to adopt, so they don't need to be on display).

I'm not really sure that I am? Ronan pre-empted Rotku on re-asking questions (though I think there are two that were more directed at me than asking of me, and lol'd a little when Ronan answered 'em), and paazin said that his questions also apply to Ronan (but Ronan hasn't answered, so Paazin can't troll for clarification-- and Ronan's posts here are mostly a suggestion and then discussion where the two of us rambled on slightly-different topics until figuring out that we were... and OGR was just tryin' to be helpful). I think that's everyone who has asked questions-- now that you've asked us both this one.

I've got another question!
Ronan wrote:I believe TA should be able to add any and all core 3.5 content into NWN. Admin may want to draw a circle around the allowed content, but they aren't going to draw that line though the PHB.
What do you think of this statement?

Blargle. That's in my wall of text re: paazin, Question 2. In essence, "I also think that, but I think we need to sit down with all of our HDMs and overtly say 'These are the books that we can implement things from with only technical vetting to verify that it's a faithful implementation, these books over here we want to review content from on a change-by-change basis, and these books over here are so wildly unrelated to our game that using their content should require broad and impressive approval.' " -- it sounds like Ronan had something much more informal in mind for defining core books, and not much interest in the other stuff (which is fair; it'll be years before we can have the books that offer the baseline definition of our setting in play-- and I bet that if we really had the detailed conversation I'd like, we'd end up with something close to 28 books that are "core" content, with 9 of those being very rulebook-like)

Well...i did not want to ask anything as long that there was candidate running against you.


But due to the last "strange" events it seems you were left alone and going to win.

Personal issues and bad blood between us aside, here is something that troubles me...

You were a technical staff member and because of some error you had access to the PC bio forums for months. I will not say if you used this access for meta gaming or not (i'll let each one decide for himself), but i would like to know why you did not report it to anyone for such long period?

As technical person i would assume you knew you should not have access there as those are pure IC forums with no technical feedback requirements.

Perhaps you thought there was nothing wrong with it?

How would we know that as tech admin you would not use your access permissions to places you should not?

i can answer that for Zelk...

it wasn't technical error, Zelk was set to be a DM for Sands UD server which was in the works, a few others also had the same access.

i.e. there was no error, zelk was meant to have access, so why would zelk complain?
