If only certain people have a copy, and this is as a result of needing to have it to help run the show, then these people are by definition trustworthy.
To suggest we'd use it for other purposes is not on. :!( :!( :!(
Besides that, even though we have it, we don't necessarily have the the right files for our own division.
word...Blewy said:OK, Lets look at it this way...
You go to any other sim and see what happens if you ask for the sim and the database... You'd have no chance...
All im saying, is that you'll get enough friendlies to see how your team is going and to see who can make your side etc, And before any major concern about the board making all the decisions i have had requests from certain managers that the program not be distributed out as some managers will be unable to use the program so its fair on everyone....
Does a team in real life get to play the game 100 times in advance in order to find out thier best strategy?Rik said:As a manager, not being able to find out how my squad would perform would make managing more of a hit and miss affair than any actual ability being shown.
There needs to be some sort of authority, and it's certainly not a dictatorship, since prior to election, lots of us now on the board held vastly differing views, and that is still going on now.Rik said:I think anyone on this board has the right to decide on weather we have the Finance System or weather we should be allowed to use this new program, otherwise we are basically running an online dictatorship!
People's opinions are taken into account when the board make decisions (except yours )Rik said:Nah seriously I think everyone here has a right to speak their mind and have their opinions regarded in the same opinion by others as, say, the owner. Otherwise the management will start to loose touch with the people who play this game, and the only reason why it exists.
Very good point Marc.marc71178 said:So what happens then Nibblet if someone joins the sim, requests his copy of the program (which is unique to WCC) then leaves?
Suddenly other games will start using it.
It's never been a problem before...Blewy said:Im sorry but that really defeats the purpose of the PBEM....

Maybe so, but I still think the managers should have a say, we play this game after all. We have to put ideas to the board who can quite easily ignore it. So in a sense it's more dicatorship than communism!

There have been several circumstances in which this has not been the case.

I expect nothing less from you Marc(except yours )
Get a liscence? VC4's owner has no problem with it being free-ware. It's not as if WCC is a money making enterprise. Anyway if you design it well enough no other game could use it...nibblet said:Very good point Marc.
