| 00:44:17 | raptor | it is single digits temperature F outside |
| 00:48:52 | amgin1234567890 | its below zero here |
| 00:49:18 | amgin1234567890 | thats is a hard dungeon ^_^ |
| 00:50:55 | | YoshiSmb Quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) |
| 00:59:05 | raptor | the contest one? yeah, bobdaduck made some evil puzzles |
| 00:59:14 | raptor | uhh, no one saw that... |
| 00:59:27 | | raptor is an id10t |
| 01:01:47 | raptor | so.. looking at master connection code |
| 01:02:51 | amgin1234567890 | btw how did oyu make the spinning arrows (program them) |
| 01:03:09 | amgin1234567890 | on the sands of time level |
| 01:03:15 | raptor | you have to edit the level file directly |
| 01:04:25 | amgin1234567890 | btw is the contest kind of unnoficcal i cant fin the rules on the ofrum i was going to put one of my maps there |
| 01:04:28 | raptor | i think you find the SpeedZone line you want and add something like R=3 at the end |
| 01:04:53 | raptor | its an official contest, but the submission deadline was last Thursday night |
| 01:05:08 | amgin1234567890 | .... i missed it =( again =( |
| 01:05:16 | raptor | sorry! |
| 01:06:23 | amgin1234567890 | lol if you leave a serer then quicly go to the menu it says ping timed out for a few seconds XD |
| 01:06:24 | | Watusimoto_ Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) |
| 01:06:40 | amgin1234567890 | if you do it over and over again XD |
| 01:09:21 | amgin1234567890 | ugh i cant use get map to see if its r=3 for the spinning arows |
| 01:09:43 | amgin1234567890 | is the level odes written in lua or C++ |
| 01:09:45 | raptor | yeah, i disabled getmap for now |
| 01:10:02 | raptor | the map author used Lua for some the puzzles |
| 01:10:21 | raptor | but the rotating speedzones are done in the .level file.. |
| 01:11:16 | raptor | this is what a level line looks like with rotating speedzones: SpeedZone 5.2 -13.6 6.2 -13.6 500 Rotate=1 |
| 01:11:40 | raptor | but, that's not an official part of the game... |
| 01:12:18 | amgin1234567890 | weird i wonder if this is a bug maybe its just my computer |
| 01:12:30 | amgin1234567890 | i save a map and its not shoing up in the levels files |
| 01:13:01 | amgin1234567890 | but if i open the game i can open hte file? |
| 01:13:10 | amgin1234567890 | hmm |
| 01:13:12 | raptor | if you're on windows, then read here: bitfighter.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1625 |
| 01:13:26 | raptor | the directories have changed with 018 |
| 01:15:01 | amgin1234567890 | llol could not find %appdata% with run? |
| 01:15:21 | amgin1234567890 | lol i made a bf cursor for my computer XD |
| 01:15:37 | amgin1234567890 | its a ship ^_^ |

| 01:18:19 | amgin1234567890 | hi yoshi welcome back |
| 01:18:26 | YoshiSmb | hi. |
| 01:18:32 | YoshiSmb | sorry i was out |
| 01:18:33 | amgin1234567890 | want to try to finish it? |
| 01:18:50 | YoshiSmb | maybe |
| 01:19:06 | raptor | question: why is MasterServerConnection::writeConnectRequest() in zap/masterConnection.cpp, but MasterServerConnection::readConnectRequest() in master/master.cpp?? |
| 01:19:43 | YoshiSmb | amgine |
| 01:20:18 | sam686 | they both use masterInterface class.. |
| 01:20:38 | amgin1234567890 | im on hte server |
| 01:20:53 | raptor | yes, but that is completely different than how we do the rest of the zap stuff... with bot read/write in the same file |
| 01:22:19 | | YoshiSmb Quit (Client Quit) |
| 02:30:19 | amgin1234567890 | Im going to present my gift to Bf soon |
| 02:31:12 | amgin1234567890 | but i need a link to a file hosting site |
| 02:31:48 | sam686 | for me, I have this: http://sam6.25u.com/upload3.php |
| 02:32:56 | sam686 | there is other file hosting site, filled with advertising annoyance and often not having direct links.. |
| 02:33:29 | sam686 | but with a little search, https://www.google.com/search?q=file+hosting |
| 02:37:27 | amgin1234567890 | ugh have to pay have to pay...... |
| 02:38:18 | amgin1234567890 | have to sign up...... |

| 02:40:13 | sam686 | don't exactly know what to go with... |
| 02:40:26 | kaen | the one I posted works |
| 02:40:55 | amgin1234567890 | ty kaen |

| 02:42:09 | kaen | heh I like it |
| 02:42:17 | amgin1234567890 | anything that i should chage? |
| 02:42:35 | kaen | you should make an animated one with the blue tracers for a loading cursor |
| 02:44:42 | amgin1234567890 | oi only now how to make still ones cause im using http://www.rw-designer.com/online-cursor-editor to create it i dont actully know how to make cursors =p (im a chater) |
| 02:45:05 | amgin1234567890 | sam raptor do oyu like it? |
| 02:46:57 | sam686 | the only problem with that cursor is, it just looks odd (not used to see that way) with a white background.. |
| 02:47:30 | sam686 | I never thought the ship is black.. |
| 02:48:34 | amgin1234567890 | should i chage the outline to black then? |
| 02:49:09 | amgin1234567890 | and if he inide was transparent (which its not i think cause the stars would show though in the game) it would be hard to see |

| 09:39:16 | DonnyMitsov | Hi can some of the mentors extend my deadline by a couple of hours? |
| 09:39:55 | DonnyMitsov | And what exactly does TNL_DECLARE_RPC do? |

| 11:11:57 | watusimoto | hi DonnyMitsov |
| 11:12:07 | watusimoto | I'll extend the deadline |
| 11:12:28 | watusimoto | TNL_DECLARE_RPC does what the name says :-) |
| 11:12:46 | watusimoto | It is a macro. TNL refers to the network library -- this is where the macro is defined |
| 11:13:10 | watusimoto | RPC means a remote procedure call, basically a function that one machine executes on another |
| 11:13:28 | watusimoto | so a c2s RPC means a method on the server that is invoked by the client |
| 11:13:41 | watusimoto | and s2c is an RPC that is invoked on the client by the server |
| 11:14:03 | watusimoto | the DECLARE bit means that this is where the function is declared or defined |
| 11:15:07 | watusimoto | All this does is define the rpc in the .h file -- the declaration provides no actual functionality |
| 11:16:06 | watusimoto | For that we need a corresponding TNL_IMPLEMENT_RPC macro, that implements the declared RPC |
| 11:16:49 | watusimoto | if you look at where these macros are defined, you'll see that declaring/implementing an RPC actually involves a lot of boilerplate code, which these macros hide from you |

| 13:28:40 | DonnyMitsov | Hi I have a new idea of how to implement the announce command. I make 5 methods. A method that renders the announcement, an announcementHandler() method, a c2sSendAnnouncement, a s2cDisplayAnnouncement |
| 13:29:39 | DonnyMitsov | Also could you tell me how the Timer class is used in the chat, and do I have some more work to do. |
| 13:39:55 | | LordDVG Quit (Quit: Leaving) |
| 13:40:42 | | LordDVG has joined |
| 13:45:55 | watusimoto | hi DonnyMitsov |
| 13:46:34 | watusimoto | I think you're on the right track |
| 13:47:02 | watusimoto | You'll probably need to create a new timer for the message. Timers are really easy. |
| 13:47:15 | watusimoto | Declare one in the relevant .h file |
| 13:47:39 | watusimoto | to use it, you could do timer.reset(TIME_TO_DISPLAY_ANNOUNCEMENT) |
| 13:47:58 | watusimoto | then find the relevant idle(time) method, and update the timer |
| 13:48:06 | watusimoto | timer.update(time) |
| 13:48:19 | watusimoto | if you want to do something when the timer expires (which you do) you can do it like this: |
| 13:48:31 | watusimoto | if(timer.update(time)) { do something } |
| 13:48:57 | watusimoto | there are a couple of other nifty timer features you can use, but these are the only ones you'll need, I think |
| 13:49:43 | watusimoto | (you could also to a timer.setPeriod(TIME_TO_DISPLAY_ANNOUNCEMENT) in the class constructor, then you can do timer.reset() to restart the timer) |

| 14:33:16 | DonnyMitsov | Is there anything I need to now about the server I don't understand how the receivers client would understand the that it needs to use the renderAnnounce() method. Is it handle by something else that I don't need to know about in order to implement the command |
| 15:27:45 | | raptor has joined |
| 15:27:45 | | ChanServ sets mode +o raptor |
| 15:29:40 | raptor | it's -8 F ! |
| 15:41:24 | watusimoto | brrrrrr |
| 15:41:30 | watusimoto | hi DonnyMitsov |
| 15:41:58 | watusimoto | >>> Is there anything I need to now about the server <<< almost certainly yes! |
| 15:44:18 | watusimoto | >>> I don't understand how the receivers client would understand the that it needs to use the renderAnnounce() method. <<< As I suggested earlier, I would approach it by having a var in GameUI (say), called mAnnouncement. When a message arrives, set that var to the announcement, and set your 10 second timer. When the timer expires, clear the message. If the message has a value, you would call renderAnnounce() to draw it on the screen (or, better, |
| 15:44:40 | watusimoto | you could have something like this: |
| 15:45:28 | watusimoto | s2cDisplayAnnouncement(string message) { mAnnouncement = message; mAnnounceTimer.reset(10000); } |
| 15:46:33 | watusimoto | raptor: you complain about the cold, but is it this cold? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature |
| 15:47:17 | watusimoto | (the article explains how, on the quantum level, temps below absolute 0 are possible) |
| 15:55:16 | raptor | 0 K has not ever been achieved, as far as I'm aware |
| 15:55:34 | watusimoto | it has on the quantum level |
| 15:55:40 | raptor | wait wait - you said *below* absolute zero!? |
| 15:55:43 | watusimoto | but not on the classical level |
| 15:55:46 | watusimoto | indeed I did |
| 15:56:03 | raptor | yeah but quantum = magic fairies and wild dreams |
| 15:56:06 | watusimoto | yes |
| 15:56:34 | watusimoto | and, according to the wikipedia article, temps below absolute zero are hotter than infinity above zero, which is even stranger |
| 15:57:00 | raptor | what do physicists smoke? |
| 15:57:06 | raptor | if we can answer that one first |
| 15:57:11 | raptor | we'll understand a lot.. |
| 15:57:11 | watusimoto | I don't know, but I'll ask around |
| 15:57:53 | raptor | my first though of negative temperature... integer overflow |
| 15:58:37 | | DonnyMitsov Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) |
| 15:58:52 | watusimoto | exactly |
| 15:59:02 | watusimoto | actually, integer underflow |
| 15:59:07 | watusimoto | I think |
| 16:00:13 | watusimoto | I thought of a design problem with the interface redesign you are comtemplating |
| 16:00:22 | watusimoto | where do you enter your password? |
| 16:00:38 | raptor | yes.. that's the next hurdle |
| 16:00:50 | watusimoto | if you have a reserved name, but you have opted not to save pws (because you are using a school computer, for example), do you have to go to a submenu to enter it? |
| 16:01:37 | watusimoto | your name is always saved, so it might say "welcome, watusimoto!" |
| 16:01:45 | watusimoto | but couldn't proceed without a pw |
| 16:03:17 | watusimoto | one possibility might be to leave the login where it is, but start showing the spash screen on the login screen; when you enter your credentials, you might advance to the current screen, all while the splash animation continues |
| 16:03:52 | watusimoto | so it makes the initial screen more welcoming, but still confronts you with the need to enter your name/pw |
| 16:04:05 | watusimoto | or maybe we would only do that if there was a stored name and no stored pw |
| 16:04:10 | raptor | so just reverse the order of nameentry and splash? |
| 16:04:31 | watusimoto | start the bitfighter logo animation on the nameentry screen |
| 16:05:08 | watusimoto | or maybe only show the nameentry screen if the user has to enter their pw |
| 16:05:47 | watusimoto | or maybe spend some time in photoshop mocking up a new front screen that includes some name entry support that allows users to go with the defaults |
| 16:07:25 | raptor | my 1 year old found my stud finder/laser pointer |
| 16:07:36 | raptor | and i left batteries in.. |
| 16:08:29 | watusimoto | so, is drilling holes and hanging pictures or something? |
| 16:08:51 | raptor | blinding his father |
| 16:08:54 | watusimoto | mounting a pacifier rack on his bedroom wall? |
| 16:09:14 | watusimoto | maybe he recognizes that you are a stud! |
| 16:09:28 | raptor | haha, he's a thumb-sucker |
| 16:15:27 | raptor | so i ultimately want to make it so the splash screen is first |
| 16:15:37 | raptor | and probably delay the compute puzzle solution |
| 16:16:47 | watusimoto | maybe? |
| 16:17:17 | watusimoto | The reason for delaying the name asking is to make the UI more friendly |
| 16:17:20 | watusimoto | right? |
| 16:17:42 | watusimoto | if so, perhaps making the splash come earlier might help acheive that goal |
| 16:18:08 | watusimoto | or maybe only showing the name screen at all if a pw is required, so it will be hidden on first run of the game |
| 16:18:35 | watusimoto | or maybe seeing if there is a way of rearranging the main menu to make name/pw entry accessible from there |
| 16:20:11 | raptor | yes, that last idea is what i have in mind... but needs some thought |
| 16:20:24 | raptor | i've looked at other games (like armagetronad) |
| 16:20:34 | watusimoto | that's why I suggested photoshop (or equivalent) and yes, research |
| 16:20:45 | raptor | and they have host game / join game in a submenu |
| 16:20:52 | raptor | but i don't like that |
| 16:20:55 | watusimoto | every time you write that game name, I think of armagonad |
| 16:20:58 | raptor | i like being able to jump right in |
| 16:21:33 | watusimoto | so lots of designs share the same problem... |
| 16:25:05 | watusimoto | ok, galcon never asks for my name/pw, because it already knows it |
| 16:25:25 | watusimoto | You can change it under settings>account |
| 16:26:25 | watusimoto | when I enter a wrong pw, it only alerts me when I try to play multiplayer |
| 16:27:31 | watusimoto | when I remove my username, and I attempt to play multiplayer, I'm promped for login at that stage |
| 16:27:54 | watusimoto | so if we follwed that pattern, if your name and pw were stored, you'd only change it in options |
| 16:28:10 | watusimoto | if your name and pw were not stored, you'd be asked as you entered host or join menus |
| 16:28:28 | watusimoto | so you'd click join, go to pw entry screen, then proceed to join menu |
| 16:35:16 | raptor | hmmm ok |
| 16:35:36 | raptor | so that's using the assumpt that it's most likely one person ever using the computer |
| 16:35:59 | raptor | which flies against our marketing plan taking over school computers... |
| 16:36:15 | raptor | :) |
| 16:52:03 | watusimoto | well, no |
| 16:52:10 | watusimoto | it just prompts you at a different stage in the process |
| 16:52:35 | watusimoto | prompts at host/join stage instead of initial login stage |
| 16:52:41 | watusimoto | sorry, initial connect |
| 16:52:45 | watusimoto | initial run |
| 16:52:46 | watusimoto | whatever |
| 16:54:28 | raptor | i'm trying to find that new front page mockup that iambeard did once... |
| 16:54:50 | watusimoto | I think it basically had the menu scrunched over to the left half of the screen |
| 16:56:16 | watusimoto | but I'm not sure if we want to be cramming more stuff onto that menu |
| 16:57:11 | | kodabws Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) |
| 17:11:14 | raptor | doing a gimp mockup... |
| 17:18:18 | raptor | watusimoto: first attempt: http://sam6.25u.com/upload/menumockup1.png |
| 17:18:58 | raptor | i made the motd and the 'join us' smaller; moved the menu options down; added the 'username' and 'connected' parts at the top |
| 17:19:25 | raptor | then somewhere i have to think about where to allow changing that... |
| 17:53:30 | watusimoto | You could change it under options |
| 17:59:11 | raptor | yes |
| 17:59:32 | raptor | i try to make it apparent the user/master status |
| 17:59:45 | watusimoto | why does the user care about being connected to the master? |
| 17:59:46 | raptor | maybe i should add authentication status, too |
| 18:00:45 | watusimoto | and what would it say if I were using raptor, but hadn't saved my password (given that I'm not raptor) |
| 18:01:01 | raptor | maybe 'Authenticated to Master' ? |
| 18:03:27 | raptor | so maybe we need to answer first: would we always be connected to master on the main menu? |
| 18:03:36 | watusimoto | no |
| 18:03:38 | raptor | and allow chat, etc... |
| 18:03:40 | raptor | ok |
| 18:03:52 | watusimoto | you can't chat on the main menu! ;:-) |
| 18:03:59 | raptor | sure you can! |
| 18:04:09 | raptor | press f5 |
| 18:04:17 | watusimoto | well, you are no longer on the main menu! |
| 18:04:25 | watusimoto | you are now in the chat room |
| 18:04:46 | watusimoto | and at that point you need to be authenticated |
| 18:04:49 | raptor | yes |
| 18:06:06 | watusimoto | so what happens if I've entered my name as raptor? |
| 18:06:24 | watusimoto | at what point does it ask me to enter my password? |
| 18:06:46 | watusimoto | when I enter the main screen? |
| 18:06:59 | watusimoto | when I hit f5? |
| 18:07:12 | raptor | so... on name change |
| 18:07:15 | raptor | i'm thinking |
| 18:07:23 | watusimoto | what if my name were saved in the ini? |
| 18:07:59 | raptor | whenever we do the authentication check, and it fails, it should go to the name change screen |
| 18:08:32 | watusimoto | ok, so when I start the game with raptor stored in the INI, when do we do the check? |
| 18:08:57 | watusimoto | if we do it when we first start up, we're back to the design we have now -- name entry at beginning |
| 18:09:22 | raptor | yes... that's my next question... if main menu doesn't do the check, then when do we do the check |
| 18:09:23 | watusimoto | if we wait, you'll see Hello raptor (or whatever) on the first screen until you try to do something |
| 18:09:56 | watusimoto | even though I am not raptor |
| 18:10:35 | watusimoto | so here is a solution |
| 18:10:48 | raptor | i'm listening.. |
| 18:10:55 | watusimoto | when I start up, go directly to the main screen. do not display my name |
| 18:11:32 | watusimoto | when I go to host, join, or chat, check the INI file for my credentials, and, if available log me in, and connect to master |
| 18:11:46 | watusimoto | if my credentials are not available, show the login screen |
| 18:12:24 | watusimoto | if the login fails (bad user name, pw, whatever), put me back to the login screen, just as we currently do on startup |
| 18:12:54 | raptor | i like that idea - then we can show 'Hello watusimoto' if connected, and that's it? |
| 18:12:55 | watusimoto | if I quit back to the main menu, and we're already connected, then you can (optionally) print "Hello watusimoto" |
| 18:13:04 | watusimoto | yes |
| 18:14:10 | raptor | ok, that sounds good |
| 18:14:51 | watusimoto | The only queistion is what happens if we can't establish a connection to the master |
| 18:15:25 | watusimoto | currently, you get to the main screen, and nothing assumes you are connected |
| 18:15:54 | watusimoto | idling on the main screen gives a little time for the connection to be established before it is needed |
| 18:16:17 | watusimoto | this idea we've been discussing would reduce that buffer |
| 18:16:30 | watusimoto | it may be of no practical consequence; I'm not sure |
| 18:16:38 | raptor | buffer? |
| 18:16:47 | watusimoto | idling on the main screen gives a little time for the connection to be established before it is needed |
| 18:16:51 | watusimoto | time buffer |
| 18:17:22 | watusimoto | you might try logging the time it takes to connect to master |
| 18:17:27 | watusimoto | we probably have that somewhere |
| 18:17:33 | watusimoto | in a timer or something |
| 18:17:58 | watusimoto | I guess you know pretty quickly if a name/pw combo is valid or not |
| 18:18:25 | raptor | well, the first connect depends on the CPU because it is solving a puzzle |
| 18:18:42 | watusimoto | not sure it needs to solve a puzzle to get rejected with a bad pw |
| 18:18:48 | watusimoto | maybe, but maybe not |
| 18:18:56 | raptor | oh, that may be true.. |
| 18:24:49 | watusimoto | ok, gotta run |
| 18:26:37 | raptor | ok, thanks |

| 21:07:04 | raptor | !kaen |
| 21:07:04 | BFLogBot | Stats guru and SQL extraordinaire |
| 21:07:45 | kaen | rofl |
| 21:07:54 | raptor | :) |
| 21:08:01 | kaen | :) |
| 21:08:28 | kaen | so this game type is coming along nicely |
| 21:08:49 | kaen | I'm ready to start playing with pathing and the astar implementation |
| 21:08:58 | raptor | oh boy |
| 21:09:07 | raptor | define 'playing' |
| 21:09:13 | kaen | using it |
| 21:09:22 | kaen | I don't intend on touching it at all |
| 21:09:35 | raptor | so we have bot methods that do waypoint finding in the Robot class |
| 21:10:07 | kaen | I'm not sure I should inherit from robot, although I haven't looked at it |
| 21:10:32 | kaen | maybe I should lightly refactor it. I'll look. |
| 21:11:46 | raptor | it's been a while since we've done anything with pathfinding/etc... we did loads for 015a, and prayed that we would never have to look at it again.. |
| 21:12:20 | kaen | heh |
| 21:17:47 | raptor | that was when we had to manually put down bot zones. we changed it to auto build them on level load |
| 21:18:08 | kaen | okay so I think I'll be able to extract the pathing logic into what I can only describe as a mixin. I don't know the c++ term for it. |
| 21:18:15 | kaen | shouldn't be too much dentistry. |
| 21:19:27 | raptor | mixin... hmmm... like a country school dance? |
| 21:19:53 | kaen | exactly. |
| 21:20:18 | kaen | but also like a small class that provides a specific functionality. |
| 21:20:29 | kaen | consumer classes use it via multiple inheritance. |
| 21:20:39 | kaen | (I'm pretty sure c++ has that?) |
| 21:21:36 | kaen | just checked. I remembered correctly ^^; |
| 21:30:44 | Watusimoto | >>> we changed it to auto build them on level load <<< that was really really hard |
| 21:30:47 | Watusimoto | and really fun |
| 21:31:01 | Watusimoto | we had me, raptor, and sam working on it together for a couple of weeks |
| 21:31:12 | Watusimoto | bouncing ideas off each other, and I think we really nailed it |
| 21:31:18 | Watusimoto | did I mention it was hard? |
| 21:32:40 | raptor | it was hard |
| 21:32:45 | raptor | but fun |
| 21:33:29 | Watusimoto | so... I should probably mention this now |
| 21:33:34 | Watusimoto | before the push is complete |
| 21:33:49 | Watusimoto | for those of you who like things neat and clean, I'm sorry |
| 21:33:57 | raptor | WAHT!? |
| 21:34:14 | Watusimoto | this is probably the biggest tangle of gnarled roots of a tree I've ever pushed |

| 21:34:57 | raptor | whoa.... |
| 21:35:02 | Watusimoto | so DON'T FREAK! |
| 21:35:13 | raptor | so, if i look at this... will a dark cloud come down and hang over my head/ |
| 21:35:14 | raptor | ? |
| 21:35:18 | Watusimoto | yes |
| 21:35:27 | Watusimoto | a very dark big one |
| 21:35:34 | | raptor prepares himself with some rocky road candy |
| 21:36:04 | raptor | WOW |
| 21:36:06 | Watusimoto | I *think* I got all the merges right, there was one that I was very unsure of... I'm sure sam will let me know if I botched it |
| 21:36:14 | raptor | it looks like you forked yourself multiple times... |
| 21:36:23 | Watusimoto | that even has some hand editing of the .hg file system |
| 21:36:46 | Watusimoto | I'm not sure forked is the word I'd use.... close, though! |
| 21:37:17 | raptor | hatcheted |
| 21:37:38 | Watusimoto | try changing letters #2 and #3 |
| 21:37:57 | Watusimoto | then your sentence is quite close to the truth! |
| 21:37:58 | raptor | ha |
| 21:38:15 | raptor | i can't... i... i don't think i can follow this.. |
| 21:38:21 | Watusimoto | you can't |
| 21:38:28 | Watusimoto | there is no logic, rhyme, nor reason |
| 21:38:36 | raptor | makes for some nice lines though!: http://code.google.com/p/bitfighter/source/list |
| 21:39:19 | Watusimoto | that looks cleaner than in tortoise! |
| 21:42:14 | raptor | this is what i see: http://sam6.25u.com/upload/2snapshot17.png |
| 21:42:35 | raptor | it looks like you split off of several of sam's changes and did some goofiness |
| 21:44:19 | raptor | i hope i never get caught with a bisect in this area... |

| 22:02:26 | raptor | i wonder if anyone has voted yet... |
| 22:02:52 | raptor | sigh - a 3 way tie at the moment |
| 22:18:55 | kaen | hmm. maybe I ought to vote. |
| 22:19:05 | kaen | since I er... forgot to last time. |
