heh.. well, we can ask all we want, but asking and getting are two different things....

I know I for one would like to see the init tool part asap, but I think I have only asked about it once, and that was like just last week.

I save all my Campaign Files to DropBox. Not only can I access a campaign file from pretty much any OS that will run Maptool(Win,OSX, linux), but each file is versioned, so if something goes crazy wild, I can always roll back to a previous version of the same file.

Get your Dropbox 2GB via my referral link, and as a bonus, I get an extra 250 MB of space. Even if you don't don't use my link, I still enthusiastically recommend Dropbox..

Where as little as possible ? That makes sense in one way (sales), but not so much in practical crime fighting :)

It's my thread and I'll derail it if I want to ... Mwuahahahaha !
Well, okay then, but if someone complains, I'll be sending them to you...

And yes, when I said the female costumes made sense, that's exactly what I meant: I knew exactly what was going through the mind of the creator when they were drawn. It was a combination of: "Man is she HAWT!" and "Man this is so going to sell!" I don't think any of the early guys drawing female superheros ever ONCE stopped to think "Man, this is SO impractical".

But what were they thinking when they drew Superman? "Man, I am SO going to wear my underwear like that!" No! They weren't thinking that. They thought, "hmm, needs more red; I know, I'll color this part red--that brightens it up a bit". No one ever had the guts to say, (because this was quite a while a go) "Um mister, he's wearing underwear. Why?" But it doesn't make sense. It wasn't sexy, and they weren't gay. (At least, I don't think they were). And they weren't trying to sell to a female audience. So what was the point?

Oh, and I wasn't asking for the init panel above. I know its in the works, and it'll happen. I was just commenting that it seems to get requested a LOT, despite the fact that it is one thing that we are promised repeatedly. I have patience.

Well, technically you can ask for whatever you want. Whether or not trevor will pay it any attention is another story.:lol:
Trevor always seems to pay attention. The real question is whether or not he is going to do anything about it.


:)


And generally he does. Unless Ryss comes along and does it for him. But I don't see that happening in this case.

:) Two points: I already have my hands full (and contrary to what you imagine, I only do have two hands :wink:) and someone else is working on init stuff as I can see. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Other than that I'm here to have fun and help people. So I'll do whatever people need the most. Last time I checked, macro buttons were hot :wink:
