WHERE THE OLD GUARD WELCOMES THE NEW

Kindly explain (especially the "welcoming" part).

not really "self-sensing" myself as part of virtual world... The virtual world is incorporeal, mediated and symbolic. i'd personally make it obligatory for all participants of online community of a sort to be "identified" in some (least hurting) manner Why ? Just play the (chess) board, not the man...

PGF -- UNIT ATTRIBUTES: FIXED STATS DURING PLAY =============================================== PGF's user interface displays the following fixed stats for each unit (type): Icon Depictive image assigned to the unit (type).

Of course, the best result would be a tie, no? Depends on the tied candidates. That's where strategic voting comes into play big time... For example: ... when the poll will be close to end, it may be worth to rethink your votes going to an unpopular candidate and switching to one of the possible wi...

@ Ale in my case I'd often describe it as "proverbial diarrhea" as I use a lot of non PC humor too often and you know about world we live in and all the sensitivities.... as a sort of self control, sometimes try to limit myself at least to nations like Italians, Greeks and my own when describing ch...

@ Ale i'll finish with adding that i share your hope about possible content presence, personally not into starting historical subjects at the moment as they were useless back at JP's too (and so far we are mostly same people from there) A couple of thoughts. On the basis of revealed ID handle choic...

This Virtual Pub could serve as a residual repository of sorts accommodating posts which do not easily fit anywhere else in these forums. However, there's something more important to consider. A physically existing pub doesn't accommodate written... traditions; instead, pub interactions therein stri...

Topic Legitimacy The Pub's description follows: Place of the offtopic, funny or interesting threads, discussions about history, politics, movies and other war games. 1) Place of the offtopic . :bonk 2) Funny . I should hope so. :ihope 3) Interesting . I should hope so. :ihope 4) Connected to histor...

This is hardly the place to compare common law to civil law. ;) ... what's more important is the technical part: when a poll expires on a phpbb forum, it can't be renewed, only a new poll can arranged, so we should figure out the rule before the poll expires just in case we decide the renewal would ...

i simply forgot to think about a tie How about taking a page from Anglo-Saxon common law principles ? Namely, the courts refuse to hear hypothetical cases. Practically speaking, should a tie were to actually materialize, well, that would be the time for further public deliberations re: some latter ...

if there are 2 ## of votes on top Just to clarify your proposal... Your two examples seem to indicate that the envisaged new poll should allow all candidates who garnered the most number of votes and all "first runner-up" candidates (in terms of votes cast) to participate. Am I reading you right ?

Earlier, under this topic, I wrote: My personal opinion is that opening the doors to other PG1 "World" titles would do way more harm than good. . . . However, should you (or anyone else) be interested in launching another forum to accommodate PG1-DOS, I suggest that you (they) get in touch with the ...

... I was redirected here by Parabellum, so here I am. It's quite possible that # Parabellum # wishes these forums to behave exactly like the ones over at that "other" Web venue. :dunno There doesn't appear to be any other place here for PG-DOS stuff. . . . The question is, would it be appropriate ...

INTENT & UTILITY =================== The present topic will be strictly dedicated to PG1 matters. To this effect, I exhort potential posters to exclusively utilize this topic and not to pepper the forum with ad hoc topics re: PG1. Kindly remember: this is a forum essentially dedicated to PGF...

In the forum dedicated to "PG Forever", I posted: I very much like the sharp focus of the {"PG Forever"} forum. PGF comes in only one flavor, Version 1.02 for "MS Windows". This avoids the inevitable confusion and absence of focus arising out of accommodating a bunch of "similar" titles, some being ...

SOME FURTHER THOUGHTS ======================== A) I view PGF V. 1.02 as de facto "abandonware & betaware", the source code of which hasn't been "publicly" released. As such, all of my posts will be based on the key assumption that the title's current engine and external support file formats will re...
