So how 'bout those Mets?

[Stormbinder]

actually, all he said was that he only told his side of the story to a few people. and now, thanks to your jumping all over that little post of his, he certainly isnt going to tell the rest of us his most likely interesting but truthless story.

LOL. He specificaly said in his post that he is not going to share his "story" with us, and will prohibit his "friends" from doing so. But if you really believe it exist, you can always send him PM and ask him to tell it to you.

Alright I think there has been enough petty childishness (emphasis on petty).

If I have to hear about Zapmeisters proclaiming adulation for the anti-Norfleet Jerry Falwell Church of Stormbinder, Stormbinder's obvious not-enough-attention-as-a-child complex or Cainehill's not-so-teen angst for purely the sake of each of them instead of for any good reason, I'll have to vomit.

Norfleet, do us a favor and stop dragging your corpse up off the ground after proclaiming yourself DOA. One or the other please, rest in peace or ooze from the grave to haunt your enemies with a vengance I don't really care which at this point, but this dying down, then rekindling is getting annoying and for me, tiring.

C'mon Zen, I'm not that bad.

Then where is my $150.00 donation?! Heavenly Flames were supposed to cure me of baldness and halitosis. Huh?! By Rickirack I'll give you a good sheared Sheap for peace of mind! Where is the salvation!

Or not

[Sheap]

Zen I think you are a little confused. After shearing, you keep the sheap, but give the wool away.

That's true. I was caught in the holy revelation of pure truth and divinity of purpose there for a moment and lost my head. I would never give away my dancing, prancing, M-80, hung like a donkey, ewe-gigalo, fancyboy Sheap! Back you Zealots, to the Scientoligists with you!

At this point, I am sufficiently bitter as to be considered inedible.

Having just read this thread (after a few weeks off the forum), I must say I'm very surprised that, apparently, .2h (orders) files are not what (I believe it was Taqwus) suggested, ie, purely a list of orders to be compiled by the server, so they can be checked for consistency. If anything is trusted on the client and the .trn file (like gem/gold/whatever management), then this means someone can "hack" the easily accessed file (.trn files for his own nation) and cheat, with some trial and error (encrypting the .trn files would somewhat hamper this, though not prevent it).

Basic security - heck, I'd call it common sense, and always feel stupid for pointing this to my students - says, don't trust the client. The .trn files should not contain any information not available to the player "by the rules", either. Then, if it takes attacking the server to cheat, of course there are some people out there that will be able to do that, but (1) there will be fewer of them, (2) a security-conscious host will be able to at least add protection to his server, and (3) people with these kind of attack skills will probably have something better to do than cheat in some obscure TBS game

Zen, you are way over the line. Please, the ball, not the man. I've reported the above post to the Moderators --- though I know you are yourself one
