As you can see, I am mostly disliked here as many of the people here take my words the wrong way. What becomes of negative reputation?

You really need to get your facts straight before whining on the forum like a little child who dropped his candybar!

The reason Sordnaz attacked Norland was known in advance as he warned Norland to go against their own treaty, other realms told Norland the same including Caergoth but the ruler of Norland decided on a gamble that it was just empty words....it was not. It was all talked about infront of ALL  the rulers in the council before Norland decided to act so if anyone is to blame for the fall of Norland it was their ruler and no one else.

Norland was a few weeks away from expansion but patience was not a virtue known to them I guess as they had to act premature, the plan was simple and understood by all but in the end discarded by Norland for reasons unknown to all but their ruler.

I doubt you can find anyone involved who support your statement as even norlanders have been cursing the actions taken by the incompetent ruler of Norland.

I have never ever used OOC to gain advantage in BM and I can say that you lost all credibility from my part by accusing me of doing so, you lost so suck it up and move on like any man would and dont use silly made up lies to cover up your own failure.

You assume too much. I wasn't talking about the war at all but rather when my character Channing switched Melmoor's allegiance to BoM. The region then went rogue and Sordnaz promised Channing would be lord again. Upon a successful TO of Melmoor, the Marshal of one of your armies was appointed the lord rather than Channing. The Marshal's name started with an "A", I remember this clearly. Upon a heated message sent to you, I received an OOC reply that you had clicked his name instead of mine, in the appoint-lord-page or something, a mistake you claimed because our names were next to each other. But there were a good 5-6 other nobles who were between Channings and the newly appointed lord. I was very taken aback by your excuse as it didn't fit at all.

I certainly am not complaining about the war and how it came to pass nor the fall of Norland.

Also, when I said "We" in my previous comment, I meant we as in my family, not Norland. As well as "them" is Norland.

That's the way BM works, you win some, you lose some. If Caerwyn dies then I can finally go to PeL and try to get a following to create a colony

Other Games / Armagetron Advanced

« on: March 24, 2011, 06:06:48 AM »

It's the Tron racing game, online! I've been playing it for a solid 3 years now, on and off. Based off of the original movie, of course. People have modded all kinds of stuff in, like CTF, tag, race, ultra-high rubber (slow and complex battles) or super-fast ones. It's definitely fun for a time and a good old game to go back to now and then.

Peaceful reunification. I guess we can thank Caerwyn for that.

Or Allison herself. You shoulda seen the lies she spat about SA and Astrum when she was ruler of Entai.

Oh come on, we got jumped from behind by a sneak attack, while facing a surprise 12K CS army on the other side of our realm, where we expected only 9K. What did you expect, instant reaction from a 20K CS reserve army?

OK, do you really think that everyone is Astrum is stupid, and has never fought a war before? Seriously, you're starting to go a bit far with this OOC trash talk.

And besides, what makes you think this will be a two-front war for very long?

I apologize for my rude attitude, but you and your friends were trash-talking Caerwyn a bunch earlier. You called us liars and that we fabricated wars. If you don't want to hear the !@#$ then don't shovel it out.  Though at least I have the guts to admit I'm wrong. I know we're all passionate about our realms, but drop the attitudes and I shall as well? I was hoping this would just turn into a nice chat but instead it's more like a bitch-fight between us.

Another thing I'd like to add is that you Astrumites are also being arrogant in the whole "who said it was gonna be a two-front war for long?" Sure if you get rid of Averoth soon it will be easier for Astrum and her allies to fight us. But the nobles from Averoth are also very well organized like you have seen and I would hope that majority of them join Caerwyn as we would be the best chance to continue to the fight. It would enable us to take Via, Lower Via, Kid's Rock, and other regions.

So how about we be nice? Yeah? I am sorry for my comment earlier, in was unintended to be rude.

My family is from Norland!    But we stole Melmoor away from them and then got OOC-!@#$ed by Sordnaz in the end. It was super-lame as it was only my second lordship

It's all good, I figured it out. Had to set the Text Property to this and that. I was told too late that I should have done C++ instead of VB

I prefer Google Chrome. They are one of the smartest companies out there and the layout is easier than FF for me. It's a very easy browser to use or you can make it wicked cool and complex

BM General Discussion / Re: Your very first impressions of Battlemaster

« on: March 23, 2011, 07:27:00 AM »

Then it suddenly hit me that to get anywhere in this game I had to actually talk. Yeah, real epiphany there... So I guess my mentor would be pretty much the #battlemaster IRC channel.

It took me about a year to realize that, too! I joined an OOC group in Astrum. We had a good 10-12 players at one point and all from the same town Whenever I needed help, they showed me the way. That is, Ysgarren and Martin. My first official realm was Norland but they were all too crazy for me to start out there so I moved to Beluaterra and betrayed Riombara, joined Enweil, etc.

I've built up some pretty good relationships with a few families so far, I hope they don't disappear anytime soon. I've played many, many text-based games and it's really sad to think back to those old days and all the great players who were there and aren't here.

General Talk / Visual Basic Anyone?

« on: March 23, 2011, 03:59:52 AM »

I know there are quite a few programmers who play BM (obviously) and was wondering if any of you would help me?
 

Code: [Select]

Public Class Form1

     Private Sub BtnCompute_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnCompute.Click
        Dim velocity As Double
        Dim sec1 As Double
        Dim sec2 As Double
        Dim sec3 As Double

        sec1 = (-16 * 1) + (velocity * 1) + 5
        sec2 = (-16 * 4) + (velocity * 2) + 10
        sec3 = (-16 * 9) + (velocity * 3) + 15
    End Sub

    Private Sub sec1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles sec1.TextChanged
        sec1.Text = "  "

    End Sub

    Private Sub sec2_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles sec2.TextChanged
        sec2.Text = "  "
    End Sub

    Private Sub sec3_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles sec3.TextChanged
        sec3.Text = "  "
    End Sub

End Class

The text boxes must appear to be blank at the start. The thing I cannot fathom how to do although it's probably most easy, is how to code the program to display the results of the formula in the text box after the button has been clicked.

I'm having a real hard time right now and have been researching how to do this for hours!

Keep in mind, you can get goodies for reporting bugs/loopholes/etc, instead of exploiting. I can testify to that personally.

Truth. Found a bug once in Astrum as a lord that gave me 3,000 gold per-tax when I should have gotten only 200. Reported it and got to keep the gold. They are fair if you help them
