Re: Limit Theory

The Limit Theory forum disappeared last week - the final act is done, it seems.

Which sort-of implies that (on this board) you must have registered an account before posting.
Yep! And first posts require approval by mods and/or admins.

Re: Elite Ranking, Communications & time taken

In Oolite, acknowledgement of a kill, payment of bounty and the impact on one's Elite Rating are all immediate. Does this actually make sense?
