Good luck, but don't force anything. She may appreciate your friendship; don't go and ruin it over such a thing as that funny feeling in the seat of your pants.

Oh thank science, that worked. Thank you very much!

I'm curious, though... how would you even access this 'simple' mode? It happened to me by accident, but judging by how easy it was (relatively) to escape it, I would have assumed a similar action could put it back that way too.

Hmm, I got a few. Gotta label them with the game names though, because I hate these threads that don't tell you what the games are.


I may or may not have been responsible for this house fire. Uhh, sorry.

Interesting training weapons you guys got there.

Umm... the less said about this, the better, methinks.

They can word their rules however they like. People will play it, or they won't. I'm not sure the intention of this thread was to gather suggestions for improving the "friendliness" of the server.

That is not to say I don't think discussion should exist here; just, I don't see the point of browbeating them into managing their server differently. Their server, their rules.

Just my 2p, as someone not at all interested in playing this, and equally uninterested in backseat-moderating their content.

Do any fans spin up, hear any beeps?

I had no idea they were even doing a stress test today. First one I've missed.

I hate - no, I loathe virtual pet sites. Their prolification and inexplicable popularity makes searching for ACTUAL virtual pets practically impossible. Or virtually impossible, you might say.

Many times over the long years have I attempted to indulge my inner AI fascination, hunting down obscure Creatures-esques programs, experiments, or fully-fledged projects. "Google," I say, "show me your finest selection of simulated life. Dazzle me with the beauty and complexity of digital life that can act and think and feel and fear."

But instead of finding examples of autonomous living animals and advanced AI agents that broaden the horizons of simulation technology, I'm instead bombarded with page after page of shitty "virtual pet" templated websites, filled with shitty art of ponies and dragons and tiger-whale-mammoth hybrids, that you "take care of" by buying shitty pictures of plastic hairbrushes and teddybear toys that, somehow, keep them "happy", while exploring a shitty picture of a "world map" consisting of shitty pictures of inexplicably magic fountains that give you free bars of chocolate, and post offices staffed by tie-wearing unicorns, so you can play shitty Flash puzzle games that look like they belong on Facebook in order to win fake gold coins that you spend buying auctions of pixie dust to transform your shitty starter pet into a demonic fiery behemoth with smoke and flames billowing around its portrait, which of course makes no difference to its stats which are mainly put to use in shitty "arena" battles with other users who've spent over $9000 real life money buying stat-boosting items and turning their pets into game breaking demi-gods. And this is apparently what the WHOLE INTERNET thinks of as "virtual pets" because I'll be damned if I have ever found more than a HANDFUL of real, actual websites concerning actual virtual pets that aren't fucking tamagotchis.

I spit on these damned sites and I hope they all burn and suffer hardware failure, and that everyone who's ever built one gets their hands severed by spinning =steel large serrated disks=.

So yeah, that's what I think.

For the sake of full disclosure, I'm running 34.11 with the Modest Mod, a custom race, and the Language Unlocked mod. Tileset being used: Jolly Bastion 9x12.

My errorlog.txt has remained empty during these tests. map_rejection_log.txt is showing a pretty typical selection of map rejections for all of the tested maps, with more rejections occuring on those maps made smallest (65x129 and 129x65).
