Yes, but that map is simply atrocious.

Plus you're like supposed to credit people and stuff.

Indeed, I'm not saying that it isn't a good thing. But he shamelessly copies Farsight's game

the hell, I registered to the forums and now I can't even look at the page. WTH is going on?

 

[NinjaCow64]

Sorry for the triple post, but it seems like we have a bigger issue here. Does anyone know who introduced IOT to Paradox? Because it seems that it is quite popular and that no one has made ANY reference to CFC. This is bad.

 

[NinjaCow64]

Okay, final post in the chain. I believe that the person did not know that they were ripping off Farsight's ruleset as someone else did about four months ago. That seems to be the person who introduced IOT to the forums. I PM'd the game host with a friendly message asking to reference both Farsight and CFC for his game. Hopefully that will fix things up.

I blame TV Tropes. It refers to The Peshawar Lancers by name and provides a direct link to the game thread.

 

[hoplitejoe]

Why blame?

 

[Sonereal]

I think LH was the one who brought IOT over there.

 

[Tyo]

Actually, I'm almost positive it was Farsight. He made the original Peshawar lancers after all...

This.

 

[Omega124]

No, it was LH. He made a vanilla IOT before Peshawar Lancers was ported.

 

[NinjaCow64]

Nevermind.

So, I'm not sure where spitballing ideas goes but I guess I'll post here as well. I had an idea to start an IOT similar to "The Game" in my school and here's what I have so far. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pzoljJCb_lAuGXS0ZrEEHT9eUsnYp19kIMWEje4kPcM/edit
Do you think it's too complicated, will the lack of a map get people riled up?

Where do you go to school and why don't I live there?

 

[Double A]

DAMMIT

I just lost The Game!

 

[mayor]

I hate you.

You are supposed to say it out loud, not post in in a forum

Southeastern Wisconsin, we're the only school in the nation with this exact game, as it was coded by a student and never sold or distributed. So, you guys would be interested?

 

[JohannaK]

Quite a bit.

 

[Radio Noer]

Good, I should have a sign up thread posted soon .

EDIT: It's up now, but I have to finish making tables and otherwise copying and pasting.
