There is an easy way to stop playing Oolite - go over to the dark-side!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

The problem with this is that it's almost impossible to return once you have crossed to the dark side (You being one of the very rare examples EV :lol: ).

Yep - in some ways, writing Oofic is similar to the dark-side - it eats-up playing time (and a lot of other time too).
If I hadn't got enmeshed in writing Oofic (and testing major OXPs), I'd have probably have 100 RoCs on my tally instead of 40!

Ha, yes you can't link to images on your own computer, so photobucket etc is the answer - post it there then put the link to it in the forum post.
Looking forward to seeing you and your cat :)

onno256 - Just a quick tip if you click the Img tab when creating a post and paste your link as shown below your picture will be visible on your forum post :wink:

Easier to use the Image or Thumbnail links from the Photobucket page, and just C&P that into a post (maximum image width for the forum is 1000).

At least Mozart doesn't sit on your keyboard, like most cats would.. :wink:
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

There is indeed ... and it's 25 years since the first Culture novel! I'm waiting, mantis-like, for The Hydrogen Sonata to come out in paperback.

Yes.. I've been looking forward to it for a while.. time perhaps to see if any of the local libraries have it yet..
