How are you enforcing that? Using sitelen pona? how do you type, by pointing at a grid of characters? or just... by typing? what happens when someone types english? 20-30 players per instance is definitely not Massivetm but it still sounds like you're building systems which emphasize socialized play. I like that, I believe it's always important to have players contributing toward a larger community. It builds a sense of solidarity, and gives you chances to identify ways that people sabotage such systems (by, for example, wasting resources or being greedy) which is an interesting cultural experiment, I think. I thought it was an MMO because you pitched it in relation to the MMO I designed =P also the server software I described is an emulation project first, generic MMO software second, as it needs to be since it lacks a client. If a client was designed, that limitation could be removed. That's really all I'm trying to express. 😋 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── -> file: messages/9 https://www.ivpn.net/password/reset/3d76d4f660914169ce08dd66d9c03997e2376a49093f93b3648de9b44d25ba77 ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘─────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/1849 I wish I could block and unfollow myself ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/2034 @user-889 this post inspired me to make soup for myself. thanks, I haven't been eating well recently. sometimes you gotta be your own friend.

Then, pick the better of the two options which treat the symptom, and moving forward work toward implementing the solution which fixes the problem.

Will explain more later, for now trust that they get dollars. Essentials and infrastructure are free, but luxuries are not. To spend dollars, you either go to a showroom or use the nationalized Amazon (forked, not stolen) - there you can place down dollars to enter a special kind of queue. Everytime a product is made its distributed to the people with the most dollars in queue. Every period (week, month, idk) the amount you manually put into the queue is re-added to the queue - 100 becomes 200, becomes 300, becomes 400. You can manually add more whenever you like but it's not retroactive. At the end of the period all your extra dollars are distributed among your open queues. That's basically it. It rewards patience and temperance, while capitalism rewards greed and cruelty. How to get dollars? Okay so there is a government run job board portal website thing. Every company can make a listing there, and every person can post themselves too if they'd rather be recruited. The company pays a different amount to the government than the worker receives. This amount is determined algorithmically based on values like supply and demand for labor in that particular area. People list 10 types of jobs they'd like to work at any level of specificity (they'd be arranged into layers of overlapping umbrellas, like queer identities except more complex) then that data is used both for job placement (consensual of course!) and data for the "supply and demand" calculation. You can only change these values once every 6 months, or 1 value every month, up to the user. The amount the corporation pays to the government is not the same as what the worker receives. The longer a worker works, the more "stuff" they can buy. They are rewarded for diligence. However essentials are free so nobody has to save for retirement. You can trade stuff for stuff, but not stuff for labor. Small informal exchanges are fine "if you mow my lawn I'll bake you a pie" but not "I'll give you 500lbs of gold bars if you build me a mansion" - I haven't figured out a way to structurally prevent rant besides just saying it's illegal. Housing is like a library, except you can queue for who gets the spot next. A person can live in a house as long as they'd like, and when they're done with it the person highest in the queue can decide if they want to live there. If not, the 2nd in line gets to move in if they want, etc. Their accrued value persists if they don't move in, and when moving out an accurate assessment should be undertaken. "ah but won't foreign states just hire a bunch of people to move in and out of houses really quickly like they're doing to my apartment complex so that a stable source of income cannot be guaranteed and resources will have to be wasted on assessments and such?" I mean, maybe, but it'd be up to the community to decide how to prevent that. Your primary residence is free, you can live there as long as you'd like. If you want two houses then you need to continuously be the highest value in the queue for both of them. Same goes for renting and hotels and such - the "owner" or property manager or whatever needs to maintain their lead by investing time and value in the property. Otherwise nobody would want to live there. This would be an example of a self-appointed job. Self-appointed jobs are like being self employed now. You produce value that people enter queues for, and in return your stacking percentage bonus increases. The government will pay you dollars based on the demand for your good/service, which odds are will be pretty small. But you get to do what you want, so that's something, and besides essentials are free so... I wish people would ask me questions so I knew which blanks to fill in. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────── -> file: fediverse/5189 computer programming essentially boils down to putting the right values into the right datastructures at the right time and in the right order.

I'm willing to follow the designs of others and offer my concerns or input rather than trying to be the leader at the center. I am generally calm, and can evaluate a situation both objectively, and subjectively from the perspective of all those involved. I specialize in mediation, and encouraging incompatible viewpoints toward accommodation. I try to follow my heart when I can, because I know my brain will only listen when it's a good idea. I admire independence and I strive to be as determined as I can, but I also am not afraid to rely on others and I'm quick to ask for assistance when I know I'm in the dark - it's better to be correct than unique. I value family, goodness, perseverance, and continuous growth and learning.

Well my points are these: MMOs are difficult because of the added complexity in their networking an open source networking solution exists however no open source client solution exists but one could be written, which is about as hard as making a game using Bevy or Raylib or Love2D, and if one were written, then games could easily be made on-top of them which you would then support yourself off of. I mean... I'd want to support myself too haha, and I can think of like 100 different games that could be made in an engine like that. the idea is that by opening up more design space you can apply your ideas as an early pioneer in a particular design direction that hasn't been able to be explored because the up-front investments in making an MMO are huge.

In my dream, a meteor fell from the sky and punched a hole right through several parts of this ship, leaving the rest essentially unscathed. Primarily? The command deck, navigations, and communications. The people aboard the ship were given a crucial moment to decide what to do with their lives, and the guy who said "let's go fight the jerries" was promptly thrown overboard. It was mostly a first-person dream, from the perspective of a mind-reading kraken watching from below. Though I often felt like a sailor, so perhaps a shape shifting mind reading kraken watching from wherever was most convenient. The ship floated by for some time, not knowing where it was going nor where it intended to be, until one day it came across another floundering in the dark. This ship was drowning, or so it seemed to the tentacles below, and our first ship dutifully did it's part and saved what it could. The people of that ship were significantly more battlehardened, having lost their war against their foe, and so they attempted to gain control of the ship upon getting settled. They were promptly thrown overboard. More snacks for me... Then, the ship came to port. A great port of concrete and metal, it inched up the rock face and hugged tight to the land. Then the dream did veer as dreams often do, and I've forgotten most of what my point of view cared for and worked toward. But then I stood too close to a nuclear engine or something and got sick and died. It was weird, idk what's up with that. Anyway dreams are like that I guess, keep dreaming until you either die or are kicked out by your host who doesn't agree with your actions to such a degree that they're irreconcilable with their own intentions. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/3381 @user-1520 After a certain point you realize there's little to be done with that design space that Star Fox didn't do better!

He's part of the first Imperial generation of children (human, at least, some species probably grow fast?) this first generation reflects the good and the bad that the empire could be. There are aspects of good AND bad in Syril. For example, his rigid adherence to truth, justice, and all the other things he holds dear are POTENTIAL good things that the Empire could have instilled within it's culture. Unfortunately, this spirit is lost when he suffers a head injury and dies as part of the Ghorman massacre. Dedra Meero has some good qualities as well, such as her unflinching resolve and unwavering dedication to pursuing her charge. She's a hunter. Cats aren't evil just because they are ambush predators, and neither is she. However, she IS evil because of all the evil things she does. Her character isn't evil, her actions are.
