Kristoffer O\'s profile
 

Am I the only one who finds the fact that Kristoffer is a teacher in comparative religion/social studies kind of cool? I realize it's slightly OT, but I'm curious as to what sort of teaching he does and how that ended up informing the development of Dominions (or vice-versa, if applicable.)

Granted, given the fact that they're off to vacation soon, this may not be the best time to bring up this topic. Perhaps I'll bump it next week if I'm too late right now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Yeah I sent an email on another subject and the response made it sound like they were headed out the door.

Ive mentioned K's profile a couple of times. The game is made by Johan K and Kristoffer O. Johank K does the programming, and Kristoffer does the designing. The definitions of the nations, the graphics, the text descriptions. Yes I think he found a way to have fun with something he already had extensive background in. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Oh and I often confused Johan O in the early days. He is Kristoffers brother and often replies here. He has alot to do with the game. If you have ever been in the position of communicating with programmers its easy to tell the two Johan's Posts apart at a glance. Programmers and technicians tend to answer things in 1 word. Maybe a sentence if you are lucky. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Both of them are cool, teacher or not. Now if only they could stop teasing me for having no beard (JK help me!)

(stroking beard and pondering that) Hmm . . . teasing you for having no beard, eh? Hmmm . . .

Re: Kristoffer O\'s profile
 

Hmmm I see a pattern. Everyone in this thread seems to have beards but me. Could it be that the vast majority of dom2 players dont shave?

Maybe the game should have a built-in failsafe. After 50 turns the game should lock up until the next day. Some sort of "crash bug" that just cant seem to get fixed.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I do, currently, have a beard. Mostly it's from being too lazy to shave regularly, so I switch between beard and shaved from time to time.

Actually, my avatar isn't that far from what I really look like - except I have way more hair than that, and it's greying fast. OK, not that close after all, but probably closer than others http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
