Petition To make ForumWarz Open Source | |||||||

Evil Trout Posted:
By having Evil Trout by the fiscal balls (and real balls seeing he needs to buy hookers) we force him into a life of coding servitude, always working for that next dollar. By having no competition other than his bank account, we force him to work. All. The. Time. In the end we don’t need that, ****, Evil Trout is stuck were he is.
Its a beautiful thing, he gets ramen, we get a game |

Instead of open source, perhaps some sort of mod submission process?
The idea would be ET could write something which allows people to make, say, their own clbumes, and submit them for approval. If approved, the clbum would then be added as a BP-purchasable item for 3 BP. 2BP go to CZ, 1BP goes to the creator of the clbum.
And it would be made very clear that the clbumes are not part of the offical Forumwarz mythology, so don’t expect them to be used in Ep 3, have their items show up in the Ppwne Shoppe, etc.
Similarly for other things the OP might want to see open sourced. Missions maybe? |

I think it would be good to do anything that might give someone else besides ET the power to modify and implement new ideas into the and I think if it was done the way you just suggested MC Banhammer, than it would not only benefit the game, it would benefit the players, and it would also benefit ET. |

But what would the clbum warfare missions be? |

*eyes up at the few examples*
Engines aren’t games. Applications aren’t games. Creative media has largely failed in all occurances in the open source area. There are many articles lambasting the open source movement for not being able to demonstrate effective game products using that methodology. You see the same problems with User Focused design in Open Source since it is largely lead by programmers and emphasis on input checkins determining direction. It’s not a suitable development methodology for games. |

oic. No, you’d have to get some clbum to fight in that part of the story. Not a big deal to pick one. Or, just skip that mission entirely. |

No on open source. As it stands there are too many security holes on this site. Releasing the source now would make those holes easier to find for the community and would lead to among other things a bunch of skiddies trying to exploit them for peen. |

Then we would be waiting for certain people to fix and implement things. It would be the same as now, with less experienced coders. |

Yes so people can host their own personal forumwarzs. |

As a hardcore Lunix user, I gotta say that what you’re suggesting isn’t open source at all, and really would just serve to **** things up for CZ and run them out of business. Obviously open source or partially open source models can work for some games, like NetHack or Valve’s stuff. But for a browser-based MMO like this, it would be disastrous. If someone took the source and made their own Forumwarz server where everyone gets unlimited free BP, would people continue to donate to CZ?
Also, sorry to be that guy, but I can’t help pointing out security by obscurity vs. security by design regarding all the security stuff mentioned. Then again, this isn’t exactly a project that’ll attract a lot of white hats, and as stated opening the source would do more harm than good. I just needed to be a Stallman-fellating douche and point that issue out. |
