Any word from the man himself?
I spoke (PM) renegadebuck the end of last week. He had some appointments this week with some people to see about producing again for him. It's a catch-22. The item is obviously quite specialized. Trying to get someone to do all that metal work and yet not charge more than people will pay for them, and still make a profit. I'm expecting an update in the next couple of days. I know it's tough waiting. But I really believe it's worth the wait. If not, I would have already purchased an MSA. Not that the MSA is a bad product, just that I believe that renegade's is better. I'm holding out. If I hear anything new I'll let you know, or I'm sure renegade will post something to all of us.
My wife works with Autocad as an HVAC and mechanical drafter. I wonder if she could draft him a CAD file so all he has to do is hand the file off to them for the C+C machines... I'll have to ask him if he's willing. She might need a physical, but I have seen her draft them off of hand drawn schematics. Not to gush, but she's pretty awesome at it.
I'm not sure a CAD drawing would help, but I'm pretty stupid on those matters. The part can't be made from aluminum because of the way it connects to the rifle. Aluminum would be too brittle and break, I'm afraid. It has to be laser cut out of steel, and then TIG welded to form. I took drafting in 1970, and know how to make front, side, and top drawings, but not the exploded flat for laser (or EDM) cutting. Everytime I take my drawings to a shop, they look at me like I handed them a scroll or something. I always have to take the last adapter I have and the rifle to show them what I want made. I would advise you not to get old if the alternative wasn't worse. I'm waiting to hear, from another shop I took the drawings to yesterday, on a price. I hope that will be good and we can get rolling. The last guy wanted 20 bucks each just to cut them out. That's with me furnishing the steel! That didn't include the magcatch or stability rail. I don't know what he was smoking, but he should've shared!
Depending on the fab shop, CAD can be used for any C+C machine, regaredless of material. It's the gold standard of C+C, but I guess I don't know if he's using a C+C machine or not. It's your blueprint 3D.
You should ask them if they can use 2009/2010 CAD files. If they can, we're good to go. From that point on, whenever you asked a shop to make some, you'd just need to simply pass the file off.
I'm pretty sure she can do it with exact measurements (calipers) and a rough drafting sketch, maybe an exploded view and each plane.
I don't know. All I know is I'm excited for it. Can't wait.
It's not 3D, just drawn in front, side, top style of old. So far, I've only been able to get it laser cut, not CNC I don't think. I'm not as fluent on the machines in a shop today, or their needs. Give me electrical or mechanical drawings and I can assemble or wire anything, but I haven't had to make parts in 30 years so I'm not up on anything computerized to manufacture parts. I grew up in the textile belt, so I can fix machines that make that, but I haven't any experience in a modern machine shop.
Well hopefully the machinist that you are in talks with, will be able to cut and build your design within your price/profit model. To be honest, based on your previous units, the simplicity of installing (Compared to the potentially destructive mods required of the "Other" brand), I'd be willing to even pay a little more than what you were initially charging, which was Equal to the "other" brand. Not saying what you should charge, just that based on past testimonials, I think it would be worth it. At least for me. But building just a couple aren't where you can make money. I understand that. You need to be able to manufacture in such a way as to sell a lot of them to people willing to pay your price. What I'm willing to pay and what others are, can be 2 totally different things. Either way, it's your design and product, or I'll probably not convert to AR magazines at all. Thanks renegadebuck for working so hard at trying to find a means of producing these adapters for us. Later.... Mike.....
I have to go with Christcorp on this. I will not go with the other adapter it is yours or nothing. If the price is different so be it. look how long and how high S12 drum mags were. Im still in for 2. what is the old saying.... Good things take a little longer....
Oh, I see what you're saying, renegade. My heart is set on this product, come whatever price may. Just keep us posted. Sooner is better even if it's a higher price.
I appreciate that. Thank you. I know what this should cost to do, based on a quote from another shop that didn't know how to do a spread drawing either. I'm going on the idea that he was really low, and doubling his price. This is and would be fair. It only takes a couple of hours to cut the pieces and after all, we just want to rent the machine for a couple of hours, not buy it. I want everyone to be able to come out a winner, just not a lone winner.
I don't think the machine cost anymore than my shop, and I rent it for much less than $1k/hr.
I just noticed, in the classifieds, that Coils is selling his adapter if anyone is interested.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel

From Him everything comes, through Him everything exists, and in Him everything ends.
Philippians 2:10-11 declares "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." One day, everyone will bow before Jesus and recognize that He is the Lord and Savior. At that point, though, it is too late for salvation. After death, all that remains for the unbeliever is judgment (Revelation 20:14-15). That is why we must trust in Him in this life.Resource: Got Questions.orgLook forward to your responses. God bless
1 Cor 15:28 teaches that Christ will continue to rule, but He will reign in His former, full, glorious place with the Trinity, subject to God in the way eternally designed for him in Trinitarian Glory.
Hey Sparrow,What does me loving my enemies have anything to do with salvation after death?
Surely not things both IN and UNDER the EARTH, too? Blessings....
Quote from: Cardinal on August 18, 2009, 01:33:44 AM Surely not things both IN and UNDER the EARTH, too? Blessings....GASP!!!You mean "all" really means "all" and not "some"?!?

Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Everybody had a Jeffrey growing up. He was the kid in your neighborhood who lived across the street, an only child who had all the best toys, and did all those stupid stunts the rest of us were afraid to try.
Jeffrey would do it, and do it first.
When the rest of our gang really thought we could fly like Superman with nothing strapped to our backs but
Mom's good bath towel, Jeffrey took it to the next level. Jeffrey scoffed at our assorted bath towels. He was no dummy. He knew people couldn't fly like Superman.
No, but they could parachute instead like Vic Morrow in COMBAT! While we couldn't fly, we certainly should be able to parachute off, say, the corner of our neighbor's roof and glide like a leaf in autumn gently to earth.
Jeffrey had a flair for the dramatic. If he was going to test Isaac Newton's thought process, he wasn't going to do it without an audience.
So with his Mom's good bed sheet kite-stringed to his back, he gathered the gang together to show us how he planned to parachute off the corner of the roof and glide back to good old terra firma.
Did any of us try to talk Jeffrey out of jumping off the roof? Not really. We were only in fourth grade. We didn't understand quantum physics, laws of displacement, or Newtonian fundamentals of gravity.
Back then I understood one elementary concept of Newtonian theory: What goes up must come down. How fast was up to Jeffrey's parachute.
Jeffrey stepped to the edge of the roof, counted down from 10, and took flight in a graceful swan dive.
We gasped. He actually jumped.
And like most surreal moments, time seemed to stop.
Jeffrey seemed to levitate overhead, frozen in that moment's pause between beats of my hammering heart.
His parachute opened. Then closed. And Jeffrey fell.
Like a brick.
A two-bounce belly flop into the front yard... a 12-foot fall from rooftop to earth - impressive on its own merit but not quite how Jeffrey envisioned things turning out.
Tommy, being in sixth grade, the only one to suspect Jeffrey's jump had no chance of working, knelt down and looked at Jeffrey's color-drained face.
"Chute didn't open, Jeffrey."
Tommy had a way of stating the obvious.
This seemed to wrench Jeffrey back to reality. His cheeks flushed red.
He caught his breath. His eyes squinched shut. Then he screamed all the way home like his Momma beat him with a stick, bed sheets trailing behind him.
For a parachute, Jeffrey's bed sheets made a nice Superman cape.
Jeffrey was useful for a lot of things. He caught my first curve ball because no one else dared play catch with me. I broke his nose.
It was Jeffrey who devised the extortion scheme to fleece the Tooth Fairy for extra cash that summer so long ago, and we never tried to dissuade him from the notion that tying kite string to your loose front tooth and the bedroom doorknob really did work. The legal issues regarding the dentist bill were never completely resolved.
Every neighborhood gang had a Jeffrey, and I wonder, after all those years, what happened to him.
One year between sixth and seventh grade, Jeffrey's family moved away. He just up and disappeared.
So I pay this homage to my childhood friend, who couldn't tell the difference between bravery and stupidity.
Here's to you, Jeffrey, a Common Man's tip of the hat.
I could never tell the difference, either.

Nalgene Insulated Water Bottle Sleeve
Does the job! Kept my Nalgene from freezing for about 10 hours in around -10 degrees F. Takes a little more space, but worth the space if your water doesn't freeze. Works well. Full review
The AquaClip is a clever gadget that I recommend for those using Platypus-style water bottles. While the Ultralightest may cringe at the added 11 grams, this hiker is please to have my water bottle accessible, without having to contort myself to reach the water bottle in my pack's side pockets. Preface: Five months ago, Brentbrook posted his review on the Aquaclip. That review focused on use with a disposable water bottle. I am not a fan of disposable bottles. So I asked in the comments section… Full review
Guyot Designs SplashGuard
Excellent design and material allows this splash guard to fit a wide variety of wide mouth bottle sizes and brands. I have used a 32oz. widemouth Nalgene bottle for several years with a Nalgene brand splash guard in its top. I recently bought a 48oz. wide mouth Nalgene and discovered that my splash guard did not fit the 48oz. so I went on the hunt for a splash guard that would fit. When I came across the splash guard by Guyot Designs, I was very happy. This Splash Guard not only fits the 48oz. Full review
The Aquaclip is a lightweight, flexible add-on to standard bottles that—when snapped into place—provides a way to hang the bottle to something else. Great for anyone who has been frustrated by the need to hand carry a bottle. The Aquaclip is a simple device made of recyclable plastic (polycarbonate) that simply snaps onto the neck of a water bottle to provide the bottle with a means of attachment to other things. A slight twist while the Aquaclip is pressed against the neck of a bottle secures… Full review
CamelBak Fresh Reservoir Filter
Very simple, very light item, however very fragile! Handle with care. After upgrading my CamelBak with the CamelBak Fresh Reservoir Replacement Filter I found it great to use on the trail. I was able to fill my bladder from almost any watering hole and the filter did a great job at removing dirt and odour, so I'd recommend it for that. Only gripe I'd say is that it can be very fragile. Now this was after use, so maybe the water makes it fragile, I'm not sure, but I'd suggest whenever you handle… Full review
humangear capCAP
A nice replacement top for large mouth bottles. Provides a smaller drinking area which helps keep the fluid off your body when the ice shifts or you turn up the bottle too fast. I've used Nalgene bottles for close to 20 years and periodically have to replace the tops due to dishwasher heater element mishaps or because the strap eventually wears out. I needed to replace a top recently and I saw this humangear top at one of our Army/Navy Surplus stores and decided to try it. I have been really pleased… Full review
MSR SweetWater Prefilter
Works fine for a while, but the manual and product support from MRS is lacking because they don't bother to tell you how to identify the difference between a clogged prefilter and a clogged ceramic filter. I, and I'm sure many others, have needlessly bought replacement ceramic filters when it was the prefilter that was clogged. MSR was good to send me a replacement, but what they have not told me is what solution(s) to best clean it with. When you try to pump water and there is an obvious blockage… Full review
Backcountry Access Nalgene Compatible System
Convert your Nalgene bottle to a hydration system. Much more durable than a conventional hydration pack. This hose kit converts your Nalgene bottle into a hydration system. Simple and effective. Comes with a bit valve and insulated hose. I have used this system for backpacking and mountaineering. For winter trips, I cut a small slot in the top of an Outdoor Research Bottle Parka to keep the bottle from freezing. In cold weather you should blow any water back through the hose to keep it from freezing. Full review
CamelBak Flow Meter
Hydration reservoirs and bite valves make it easier for hikers and athletes to stay hydrated during exercise. But one of the biggest complaints that people have about them is that you can't see how much water you have left in your backpack without taking it off. This compromises the purpose and convenience of carrying a hydration system because people don't drink enough when they're afraid of running out. To address this problem, CamelBak has introduced a clever new device called a Flow Meter… Full review

Just when we think we've seen every bit of clothing, every knick-knack, every tchotchke that can possibly be splashed in burnt orange and adorned with the Longhorn logo, someone comes up with an original idea to showcase some pride for the University of Texas. Case in point: the "Hook 'em donut," a deep-fried dough ball shaped into the famous hook 'em hand sign before being coated with an orange, sugary glaze.
The pastry is Pisey Seng's pride and joy. Seng—or Angel, as she prefers to be called—co-owns Donut Tacos Palace, a small bakery tucked away in a strip mall in Southwest Austin. It may not be as palatial as its name suggests, but Donut Tacos Palace has developed a bit of a cult following. Seng moved from Boston, where she worked as a nail technician after immigrating to the United States from Cambodia, to Austin, in 2006. "One day my brother-in-law says come to Texas. They do good on the donut shop," she said in English, her second, self-taught language. Seng and husband, Marc, took the advice, moved to Austin, and bought a little shop called the Donut Palace within the year. (They later revamped the store and its menu, and re-named it Donut Tacos Palace.)

The Schneider 4x5.65" Graduated Neutral Density (ND) 0.3 Glass Filter enables the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. Neutral density filters are available in 1, 2, 3, or 4 stops to suit individual situations.
Often it is necessary or desirable to balance the light intensity in one part of a scene with another. This is especially true in situations where you don't have total light control, as in bright contrasty landscapes. Exposing for the foreground will produce a washed-out, over-exposed sky while exposing for the sky will leave the foreground dark and under-exposed. This filter enables cloud detail to be kept correctly exposed in the picture.
Determining which graduated neutral density filter yields ideal results for any given lighting situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of such filters. Choose the filter strength which adjusts the lighting to stay within the exposure latitude (greatest difference between bright/dark values) which still shows details in both of the digital or film medium in use.
Speaking generally, the 2-stop value (ND 0.6 - the filter's clear portion allows 4x more light to pass vs. darkest portion) effectively compensates average bright sky-to-foreground situations, and the soft transition is applicable more often to a scene than the hard transition
The Soft or Hard label indicates the degree of color graduation. Horizontal/Vertical indicates the direction of the graduation.
Note: Graduated Neutral Density filters are available in 1-4 stops with 4 stops having the greatest effect
Neutral Density filters have four main uses
- To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
- To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
- To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations
- To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
- High-Quality Construction
- Schneider Graduated Color filters feature crystal clear, water-white optical glass, protected against edge-chipping and delamination by Schneider's unique Edge Seal, which also significantly reduces edge reflections and flare
Schneider Quality Control
- Schneider filters are ground and polished to a precise flatness and plane parallelism
- Because all Schneider filters are designed and manufactured with the highest possible degree of consistency, you can swap like filters mid-shoot with no discernible variation in color or effect
Neutral Density factors
- ND.3 (exposure adjustment = 1 stop, reduces ISO 1/2)
- ND.6 (exposure adjustment = 2 stops, reduces ISO 1/4)
- ND.9 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops, reduces ISO 1/8)
- ND1.2 (exposure adjustment = 4 stops, reduces ISO 1/16)

Hendricks: Title more important than fighting GSP - Mixed Martial Arts News
With his win over Carlos Condit at UFC 158, Johny Hendricks solidified himself as the number one contender and will be the next to fight for the welterweight title. Recently the champion St-Pierre and/or his camp have discussed defending his title or moving up in weight to challenge Anderson Silva. Hendricks discussed his thoughts on the situation with Sherdog.com's Beatdown Radio:
"I want that fight to happen. I want to fight Georges St. Pierre. He's the guy who's had the belt for the last three or four years at 170. That's who I want to fight, but also, I can't get into where I want to fight just Georges St. Pierre because let's say he goes to 185. I can't run and chase him to 185. The most important part is that belt. That's what he holds. The thing that he puts around his waist after every fight and carries home, that's what makes Georges St. Pierre so dominant, is that he's been able to do that so many times.
Yes, I'd like to be able to take it away from him, a shot at taking it away from him, but if he moves up, I want the belt more than Georges St. Pierre."

Pro Parks Levy Acquisition
The Levy provides $16 million for land purchase for 18 new Neighborhood Parks in many of Seattle's most densely developed neighborhoods, and $10 million to preserve Green Spaces such as forested hillsides and creek corridors. In addition, $5.7 million of the Levy's Opportunity Fund was designated toward acquisition projects. Seattle Parks has leveraged this $31.7 million to secure $21 million in private donations and city, county and state grants to augment the acquisition projects.
Seattle Parks has acquired 47.1 acres with Pro Parks Levy funding, including:
The Levy anticipated that Levy funds would provide an opportunity to
leverage matching grants and donations for open space acquisition. As
noted above, the Acquisition Program has been successful in this goal,
leveraging the $31.7 million provided by the Levy for acquisition into
more than $52 million. Examples include grants from the King County
Conservation Futures Tax and the state's Washington Wildlife and Recreation
Program, private donations for Fremont Peak Park, Seattle Parks Foundation
support for Homer Harris Park in the Central Area, and partnerships
with Seattle Public Utilities along Thornton Creek. The Cascade Land
Conservancy and the Trust for Public Land have played invaluable roles
in preserving a number of properties, and property owners have donated
land to Parks in three designated green spaces.

Wolves captain Nolan Baumgartner is set to play in his 1,000th professional game on Friday; the 35-year-old defenseman has appeared in 143 National Hockey League contests and 856 American Hockey League games throughout his 16-year pro career.
--- Eddie Lack: Backstopped the Wolves to two victories last week, which included a 31-save performance in regulation and overtime to earn his third shutout of the season on Saturday in a 1-0 shootout win over Charlotte ... His shutout victory was his second whitewash in his last six starts and his fifth win in his last six outings ... Has surrendered just eight goals, five while the team was short-handed, and has posted a 1.32 goals-against average and .958 save percentage during that span (5-1-0) ... Shares fifth in the league with a .923 save percentage and ranks seventh in the AHL with a 2.38 goals-against average in 30 games this year (14-12-3)
--- Jordan Schroeder: Shared the team lead with 3 assists and 4 points in three games last week ... His two-point effort on Feb. 15 (G, A) surpassed the 28 points he posted in 61 games as a rookie with the Manitoba Moose last season ... Shares second on Chicago with 15 goals and ranks third with 32 points in 52 contests this season ... Has accrued 16 points (7G, 9A) in his last 17 tilts
--- Michael Davies: Tallied the first multiple-goal game of his career on Sunday (2G) and has posted 4 goals and 5 points in his last four outings ... Accrued 9 goals, 16 points and a +9 plus/minus rating in 26 contests this season ... Ranks third among Wolves forwards with a +12 plus/minus rating and has posted a plus or even rating in 27 of his 29 matchups this season ... Registered 15 points (9G, 6A) in his last 16 contests after dishing out one assist in his first 13 games this year
--- Bill Sweatt: Shared the team lead with 3 assists and 4 points in three games last week, which included bagging the game-winning goal 18 seconds into overtime on Wednesday ... Shares fifth on the Wolves with 11 goals and sixth with 25 points in 47 contests this season
--- Mark Mancari: Collected his seventh multiple-goal outing of the season on Sunday (2G), which included the eventual game-winner ... Paces the Wolves and shares eighth in the AHL with 22 goals and ranks first on the team with 43 points in 46 games this season ... Shares first on Chicago and first in the AHL with six game-winners this year
--- The Wolves, who are on a four-game winning streak, have posted a 9-2-0-0 record over their last 11 games after suffering through a four-game losing streak from Jan. 14-21; Chicago sits in second place in the Midwest Division with 64 points (30-18-1-3) and trails first-place Charlotte by one point, but holds two games in hand.

The University of Texas says former football coach Darrell Royal, who won two national championships and a share of a third, has died. He was 88.
UT spokesman Nick Voinis (VOY'-nes) on Wednesday confirmed Royal's death in Austin. Voinis did not immediately provide further details.
Royal suffered from Alzheimer's disease and recently fell at an assisted living center where he was receiving care.
Royal coached Texas from 1957-1976, won 11 Southwest Conference titles and introduced an innovation known as the wishbone offense to major college football in 1968.
He led the Longhorns to two national championships in 1963 and 1969, plus a share of a third in 1970.

Arts Commission hosts Nov. 20 planning meeting for eight Toledo neighborhoodsWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Arts Commission is hard at work with eight Toledo neighborhoods.
In a series of meetings in the next four months, the Arts Commission will meet at each neighborhood to strategically plan its efforts to promote the arts. The eight neighborhoods include the Warehouse District, the Historic Old West End, The Dorr Street Corridor, the Old North End, East Toledo, the Cherry Street area, the Old South End and UpTown.
Thesse specific neighborhoods were chosen because they have been actively using the arts as part of a revitalization strategy or have indicated interest in it, said Marc Folk, executive director of the Arts Commission.
"What we're trying to do is understand the condition of each neighborhood from the voice of their citizens," he said.
Folk said the objective of the meetings is to identify different areas in need of work "to help our communities to move forward."
The Arts Commission will meet in the Warehouse District at 6 p.m. Nov. 20 at 1 S. St. Clair St.
The meeting is free and open to the public. RSVP by email through firstname.lastname@example.com. Questions about the meeting can be directed there as well.
Folk said the meetings are perfect for "the businesses, the residents, the organizations [and] the folks that consider themselves stakeholders in defining and working toward the future of these neighborhoods."
Future meeting dates and times will be announced at the Nov. 20 meeting.
"We're welcoming each and every one to participate so that we can get a full understanding of what the community wants," Folk said. "We have found our greatest successes as an organization when we had direct dialogue with the community and understand what the needs of the people really are and that's what we're trying to get at through this process."

Toronto Section Meeting
Topic: Grease Rheometry - Methods Development and Exploration of Low Temperature Capabilities
Date/Time: Tuesday, February 11, 2014
Presenter: Brett Lubbock, R&D Technologist - Fluid & Grease for Petro-Canada Lubricants Inc.
Abstract: Rheology is a new and emerging field of testing within the Lubricants industry. Traditional industry tests often define lubrication materials as fluid; however this not always the case. Using this new technique, we can now define important characteristics of materials that exist between the liquid and solid phases. Currently, this emerging technique is being used to model a wide range of grease testing procedures, from cone penetration and dropping points to oxidation stability to low temperature flow properties. With such a wide range of applications possible Rheology holds great promise for the future of the Lubricants industry.
This presentation will briefly touch on some of the theoretical concepts involved in this technique, as well as current applications in Petro Canada's grease development lab. The development of two low temperature characterization methods will be discussed, and result from these studies will be presented. Conclusions from the experiments, along with further steps for the future will be shared, further emphasizing the future potential of a fild barely in its infancy.

Hey guys,
im not quite sure where i could post my thread so i just choose the pub.
Please bear with me if i post on the wrong forum.
Back to Topic:
My name is Tyrox and im one of 4 People developing our own MMORPG. The game itself is based on the anime "Sword Art Online" so the game should be in the anime look. The actual team consists 4 Modeler. We had an Programmer but he left us because he had no longer time and want to focus on studying and reallife so we are looking for a new programmer.
The idea:
We are planning to do a First Person MMORPG. The system is pretty easy. No classes. No magic. 100 Level / 100 Bosses. To clear the game you have to beat all 100 Levels on your own or with a team. There are no roles like tank/damagedealer/healer by class but we want to let the Players choose on theire own so basicly all people are the same but the way they choose their abilities they can be more tanky or more damagedealer like.
With this we want to give the Player a huge freedom in their playstyle.
The game itself is in the anime look so anime textures, avatars look like animes and so on. We want to give people more freedom so we want a huge character customization (lots of different hair/colors/ eyes....).
As I mentioned there are no races so you'll start as a human but can stand out from a lot by customize your avatar the way you like!
We want to be as near as possible to the anime.
What we're looking for:
As I said we need a new programmer. We give him the freedom to choose his scriptlanguage / gameengine. But he should be familiar with the anime "Sword Art Online" and should be interested in making a MMORPG.
Why do we want to create a MMORPG?
The whole team are anime freaks and especially love Sword art online. We all loved the idea of creating a game after the story of the name-based anime. So we started working, creating models, planning the whole idea, started designing a homepage and tried to manage that whole thing.
This is a huge project! Forget the idea about making a MMO!
We discussed a lot about the dimensions of our plan or our idea of making a mmorpg. But we give all we have and want to develop this game and so we spent all of our freetime in developing/planning the game.
What is your goal?
We want to create a game that is like the anime Sword Art Online and have fun. We dont want to make money or make a game then make it pay to win and get rich. We just want to have fun in our own world. This is our dream and we hope that this will come true.
If you're interested or want more informations just contact me via the thread here or write an email to: email@example.com

Does your love for Sword Art online extend enough that you've touched base with ASCII regarding this project?
Other than that... good luck, and enjoy your adventure into MMO development!

All the best.

I try posting in developers corner thank you for the suggestion :) We did a relative huge research with our old programmer he told us much about it and we did some research on our own too.
Even though this is a pretty massive task all in our team want to realize our dream and create it doesnt matter how hard it will be:P We are really working hard to get this project started.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Get in touch with reality is my suggestion. I'm a programmer and have made my own projects with a small group of four. Simple applications end up taking WAY LONGER than you expect.
I also know two colleagues that are creating a game from ground up that have yet to launch a working game 2 years later...yet I'll leave work Friday to come back to it Monday seeing them passed out (ie. they work very hard).
What you are trying to do is IMPOSSIBLE in your life time with a group that size and I can tell from your writing that you have little to idea what programming a game takes...perhaps even programming in general. Take a step back and plan it out a lot more.

Also, SAO was/is pretty big in Japan. I doubt they'd let a small group of foreigners touch the IP. Not even with gloves and a stick.
Good luck though ...

Thank you anyway for you post. I try to make more research and tell my team but we dont give up:P

If I didn't respond to you, chances are you're a idiot.
I wish you the best, but I'd say start with something tiny first. Maybe try a minecraft mod? I've got a few buddies who are programmers, as broad a statement as that is the actually ability of each programmer differs. Generally the catch-all, do it all programmers are the people who are just getting into it ... most have a section they are dedicated to. Network programming is in an of itself a mountain of a task. There are a few people on these forums who have a better idea of the task you're about to undertake, hopefully they jump into the thread in a bit. I do wish your team the best, I say go for it ... the best way to learn is to try ; I'd simply start much smaller. Heck even minecraft modding is a boatload of work, but you might actually be able to implement all of your design goals in it as a template to what you want to do in your own game. Better still you'd get the idea of the work in store.

There are so many things wrong with this, but let's begin.
My suggestion to you would be to drop ridiculous notion that you are going to create a MMORPG based on your favorite anime and start small and work your way up. Why not just develop a basic 2D tile based RPG with similarities to SAO? You can do so without programming experience using basic engines. See if that's well received first and you'll have some experience you can post to people so they see you have the ability to follow through with your vision. That's a good first step. Don't dive into the middle of the ocean without first learning how to swim.

unfortunally for you, I guess you will have to drop the project, first if you use a sword art online mmorpg I can bet you will get a nice justice officer deliving you a notice.
one programmer? please you really would need to ask for 5-10 at least to get started, making a simple game is already a pain in the ass, its even more annoying for a MMO, simple put your side project will never give fruits. also if i'm not mistaken they are already making a sword art game, don't know if is a MMO but they are doing it.
also since you are asking tehn to do it for free on they spare time ask for a hell a lot more people to get help, or even better, learn programming then come back read all taht again and if you started to learn anything you will feel shame for even asking that.

At first thank you for your post.
We talked about the IP and the rights too and also asked for permission but there's no answer yet. We have thought of this too but not that much than we actually should.
I see that we have no documentation for a possible programmer and/or didnt gave much details / information about the whole project. And you're right i didnt mentioned the skill-level of the team.
I guess you (and some others) opened my/our eyes. The way i tried to recruit is not that good. And no my realname is not tyrox.
As some of you guys suggested i guess we'll start a way more smaller. To get experience and to plan way more to have a documentation/lots of stuff to show/present. And i should try posting on a developerforum and way more professional.
I want to thank you for your suggestions. I'll focus on fixxing all of the problems talk to the team and start small and get bigger and bigger. I thought about what you wrote and it seems right. If we want to make ever a mmorpg we should not start that way we did.
Thanks to all of you who suggested something and helped us! We are trying to improve and maybe you guys here from the game in the future!

First off, this sounds like you're looking for someone with a vast amount of experience developing MMORPGs. Then you offer no pay and give complete freedom to the programmer. It really sounds like you guys have your heads in the clouds and just want the programmer to "make the game for you".
I'd advise you to look into each game engine yourselves and find one that suits what you'd like to do with the game. There's really more research you need to do before making such a large request. Not all models will fit into any engine, and not every engine will render the way you want it to. Programming is not an over-night thing that will just complete itself, especially on an MMORPG level.
I'm not sure what you or your team's qualifications are but you don't give any information on how any of the progression is going to work, any of the mechanics aside from the 100 levels/bosses which doesn't give much direction. For those of us not familiar with the anime, this seems like you don't have a clue as to what you want and you aren't willing to pay money. Not only is the anime not very well known, but you're looking for a programmer who will accept no pay and loves a very specific anime.
My first idea for you finding someone like this would to try and find a student who is studying video game design/programming in college. You'll get the free labor you'd like, however they will have no experience and need serious direction. This could be problematic but your goals really have no deadline and seem to have no specifications which would allow the new programmer to learn the basics.
In all honesty, you guys really have your heads in the clouds. There are major costs in creating and maintaining an MMORPG in the sense you'd like to. The IP could also be an issue if they never actually respond or give you some rights. Since you all are working in your free time, it doesn't seem like this project would move forward at a reasonable pace.
I am personally a programmer in college, not for game design, but the lack of real information you gave about what the programmer would be doing for you, what qualifications your team has, and what your timeline really is absolutely a red flag. I wouldn't even bother responding to what you have written via e-mail. Programmers require specifics before they get started otherwise you might end up with something you didn't even want in the first place. The way you stated it seems like you just want to plug your graphics into someone else's game in the end. Building any game from the ground up is difficult, and one without direction will take decades.
I suggest that you really think about what you want from this game, what you hope to achieve and how you hope to achieve it before you go looking for a serious programmer.

Sorry to bust the OP bubble but what makes Sword Art Online, well, Sword Art Online is the bloody death-in-real-life VR technology that we dont have
If you make a typical game out of that it would be a grindy korean-ish experience

So true, programmer here too - the easiest way for me to clock too much time is when things aren't in stone beforehand. This week I was given nothing but a logo and told - go, make a site. First I had to research the company, their competitors, make a design for the site, then I could get to the actual "code" part.
OP you have been very nice to everyone, I think you deserve a pat on the back. You might be a good candidate to learn some programming yourself. There are lots of kits out there for game making.
I'm making a game too but mine is only possible because I've spent years on just the planning. I learned modeling in Blender and decided to do a 2d game instead! Changes happen. I like the charm of 2d and I like that it's usable in browsers making it portable. Had I said day 1 this is the game I'm making, I would have been wrong. Every night before bed I would add to the written plans then I ended up with 4 notebooks full of how everything interacts and over time things have been removed that didn't sit well with others. Planning like programming is iterative. I'm finally at the point of making it in code but it took a long time just to "tell myself" how I was going to do it lol
I think you will find out that most programmers will try their own ideas before jumping into other peoples million hour trek but there are probably interns and the rare bored person that you might find, I just wouldn't put much hope in it unless you have some funding. You know that though :)

Kudos to you for staying positive and polite amidst a lot of criticism that you were probably not expecting (or not hoping) to hear. Everyone has posted a lot of good advice for you, though. You're suffering from a pretty massive case of head-in-the-clouds syndrome.
Rather than repeat what others have already pointed out, let me just say this. What you have is an idea for a game. Coming up with an idea for a game represents about 0.00000001% of the work involved in making the game (and that figure is almost certainly short by a few zeroes). Just about anyone who plays video games can rattle off half a dozen good ideas for games in under a minute. An idea, by itself, is worthless. The ability to envision yourself playing the game is worthless. Being able to make high level design decisions (like "what should the max party size be?" or "what kind of special attacks should some of the bosses have?") are worthless. Worthless as in, if you walked into any studio and offered to be their "game idea man" for a whole year for only 10 dollars, they'd tell you that that's 10 dollars more than they're willing to spend.
The fact that the idea isn't even originally yours—and even comes from a story that is already about a video game—somehow makes it worth even less.

As others have said, stealing an IP is going to be a problem. So long as whoever owns the IP figures that you've got a vaporware project that is never going to amount to anything, it's not worth their time to sue you over it. But if you actually get a working game, they will sue. Don't expect to be able to license the IP for a reasonable amount of money, either. Rather, create your own IP right from the start. If it's inspired by Sword Art Online and has a distinctly anime look to it, fine. But don't make it so similar that people will look at it and say, hey, that's just like Sword Art Online.
Don't start by creating a bunch of artwork. You need to have a bunch of programming in place before you can make use of anything more than token artwork. A game engine will want its artwork set up a particular way. Even if you get a good programmer, it's likely that he'll change his mind on exactly how he wants the models formatted as the project goes on. While that's no big deal if you've only got some token artwork done to test whether the programming works, it's a big problem if you thought you were done with artwork. If you did the artwork first, then you'll likely have to return and modify it all later.

We all know that Shakira's hips don't lie, but the sexy singer's ever-growing baby bump doesn't, either. While out and about in Barcelona, Spain recently, the Voice coach strutted her stuff in skin-tight black outfits (including leather!) and sky-high heels.
Even though her boyfriend joked that she gave birth last week, it's clear from her huge tummy that her new son hasn't entered the world yet.

We all know that is true for offline business.
Online, though, everyone seems to forget that a site or blog is not a business. It is just a site or blog.
SBIers build businesses, not mere sites or blogs. There are hundreds of faster ways than SBI! to put up yet another ineffective site or blog. But there is no better way to build an "e-business" than SBI!.
The Hard Parts
A site or blog, if it is to become a business, is the "easy part" that comes between 1) the planning and 2) the traffic-building and converting of that traffic into money.
99% of e-businesses fail at the critical "hard parts." If you fail at those, your site or blog fails. If you execute them well, your online business thrives. To get them right...
Use the only all-in-1 product that provides all you need (process, tools, updating, help) to build long-term, profitable e-businesses... businesses with high intrinsic value, equity that you can ultimately sell, just like well-built offline businesses.
SBIers build businesses with growing income and equity. That is what delivers life-changing freedom (the "It!" in Site Build It!).
You can do the same.
The Bottom Line?
SBI! works. You now know enough to get started. If your SBI! experience is like most, you are about to embark upon a life-changing course. We know that sounds hard to believe...
You likely have doubts, or can't quite see how SBI! can help you, or even wonder if you can do it on your own. Do not let those question marks stop you. The best way to eliminate doubts which lead to procrastination?
Just get started, right now, totally risk-free.
If SBI! is not for you, just cancel and refund.
No reason needed. Here's the Money-Back, "Confidence of Success" Guarantee.
Total risk = $0.
Strong upside. No downside.
All you have to do is...

Ancelotti confirmed on Thursday that they had begun transfer discussions with Spurs for the Welsh star, who has reportedly told manager Andre Villas-Boas he wants to leave the club.
Real are rumoured to be willing to pay up to £100m to secure Bale's signature, which would eclipse the world-record fee of £80m they paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
"We will see what happens; it is between the two clubs," said Ancelotti. "Right now our team is very strong and we will have to see what happens in the future."
Bale arrived at Tottenham's training ground on Friday morning, where is he is expected to have further talks with Villas-Boas over his future.
Redknapp's view
Former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp believes Bale will join the Spanish heavyweights.
'I think it'll be difficult for him not to go now," said Redknapp. "I think he wants to go if we're truthful. He doesn't want to say it, but I hear from different sources that he really wants to go now.
"When you're a kid and you start playing football you dream about playing for Real Madrid. When I was a kid I saw that great team of Ferenc Puskas, Francisco Gento, Alfredo Di Stefano.
"Real Madrid is a special club. The chance to run out at the Bernabeu only comes once in a lifetime, as Zinedine Zidane said the other day, you can't not take it.
"He is behind Messi and Ronaldo in terms of being the best player in the world.
"If he goes there, he will be a great success there. I am sure of that."

From last week's 'my earliest baby photo', this week we're taking a step forward a few years to those heady school days……..
1974. Another miserably disappointing year for the eagerly awaited school portrait.
I was 7 years old here, and my brother 9. This may have been the moment that prompted my mother to initiate a Twiggy-like hair crop which lasted for the remainder of my school days.
There are many more chronically tragic photographs which my parents handed over their hard-earned cash for. That's truly a show of love, don't you think? No matter how appalling the image, we will part with our actual money for the privilege of having it on our mantlepiece as part of our family stories.
God knows why, but in my father's lounge, some of these abominations are still sitting on faded show, almost 40 years later.
Me? 2nd row from back, 4th from right. Yeeeeuuugh!
Next week we will shall be marking your old school work out of 10. Maybe you have an old exercise book, or a painting, or some kind of awesome model which you created in Primary school which your parents couldn't bring themselves to throw away? Get ready to share!!

Wind: 0 mph
Kenneth Quackenbush, 95, of Westview Meadows, Montpelier, VT, died on May 6, 2012, at Central Vermont Medical Center with his family by his side.
He was born January 28, 1917, in Fonda, NY, the only child of DeWitt and Grace (Albrecht) Quackenbush. He attended high school in Johnstown, NY, acquiring the nickname "Spook." For two years, he went to Middlebury College on an athletic scholarship where he excelled in football and track. He ran at the Boston Garden where he received the first letter ever given to a freshman. When he left Middlebury, he roomed with friends in Brooklyn Heights and went to work for Birdseye Foods in their minus-20-degree warehouse, good preparation for frigid days at Mad River Glen!
After Pearl Harbor, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps on his birthday in 1942 and spent the bulk of his service in the heat of the South Pacific, then South Carolina.
On January 12, 1944, he married Frances Brackett of Portland, Maine. They had met through mutual friends, corresponded during the war and fallen in love through their letters. Their early years together were spent in North Creek, NY, where they bought a rustic log cabin. Ken became manager of North Creek ski area and in 1949 their daughter Kristi was born.
In 1952, his skiing friend Jack Murphy, manager of Mad River Glen, invited Ken to come be his assistant manager. They packed up Kristi and the cat and moved to Waitsfield, VT. In 1955, they bought their farmhouse with outbuildings and 100 acres on Old County Road and spent countless hours renovating, decorating and creating the beautiful home they enjoyed for 57 years.
When Jack left MRG for Sugarbush, Ken became manager, a post he kept for 25 years. He was president of the corporation for a time and after retirement remained a presence as a consultant. The greater skiing community, along with Roland Palmedo who founded MRG, had great appreciation for Ken's ability to design trails in keeping with the natural flow of the mountain, his business sense, patience, integrity, sense of humor and knack for managing employees and skiers alike through honesty and mutual respect. Mad River Glen became his life's work and stands today as a beloved testament to his efforts.
In 1967, Ken and Fran began traveling abroad when the ski season ended. They frequently rented a flat in London and cruises included trips around the Mediterranean, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, down the Nile and the Rhine, Yugoslavia and Russia. They attended numerous dance and musical performances in Montreal and family trips to the Maine coast to visit Fran's relatives were an annual event.
When he bought his first sailboard, his time on Lake Champlain became his passion, respite and favorite place to get away from his responsibilities. His dear friend from boyhood, Jack Cridland (Crid), and he took weeklong annual sailing trips on Lake Champlain for many years. When a heart valve replacement made sailing too difficult, he bought a lightweight canoe in which he paddled around many Vermont ponds and a Bristol skiff which got him back out on the lake.
He was a devoted father to his daughter, Kristi, and was always happy to include her in what he was doing. He read many a bedtime story, answered at length endless questions and was always patient and kind. He taught Kristi how to ski, swim, sail, fish, dig worms, work, drive and play chess. He provided a good example of how to be in the world.
Ken enjoyed skiing, sailing, soaring, tennis, woodworking, traveling and reading about history and archaeology. He and Fran had a spell of doing western square dancing. He took a lot of pleasure in socializing with their many friends in The Valley and belonged to the "Brown Baggers," a group of friends who meet every other week for lunch. He continued going until shortly before his death. Although not a joiner of organizations, he spent a term on the Waitsfield School Board and was a member of Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church.
In 2009, Ken and Fran moved to Westview Meadows retirement apartments in Montpelier where they were warmly and eagerly received by the residents. Ken is survived by his wife Frances of Westview Meadows, daughter Kristi Smith and husband Earl of East Montpelier, granddaughter Sophia Smith of Barre, niece Pam Brackett and husband Matt O'Donnell and daughter Phaelon of Wiscasset, Maine, niece Ann Beck and husband Bill and children Johannah and Mitchell of Oakland, Maine, step-grandchildren Justin Smith and Selina Hickman and her husband Troy, all of Portland, Oregon.
There will be a celebration of Ken's life on October 8 at 2:30 p.m. at the Mad River Glen Basebox, Waitsfield. Contributions in his memory may be made to the Mad River Valley Ambulance Service, P.O. Box 305, Waitsfield, VT 05673.

A-F Accountability
The State Board of Education Final Rule language for the new A-F Accountability Model is now posted online. Click here to view Accountability A-F Rulemaking Materials
The Indiana Department of Education invites you to provide feedback regarding the proposed "observed growth values" tables for Indiana's Student-Centered Accountability System. Please click on the link above to review the history and purpose of the "observed growth values" table.
Beginning with the 2010-11 academic year, the State Board of Education changed the labels for school categories based on student performance from the terms Exemplary, Commendable, Academic Progress, Academic Watch and Academic Probation to easy-to-understand letter grades (A, B, C, D and F).
The new A-F labels improve transparency by allowing parents and community members to better recognize how well Indiana schools are performing and leading students to achieve positive academic outcomes.
Starting with the 2011-12 academic year, the State Board of Education adopted the use of a new methodology for determining a school or corporation's grade, A-F.
Indiana's new A-F model holds schools and corporations to higher standards and provides a more accurate picture of their performance by incorporating student academic growth and graduation rates, as well as college and career readiness, as measures of success.

Public Law 221 Appeals
On September 12, 2014, the Indiana Department of Education (Department) released preliminary school performance and improvement category placements for the 2013-14 school year to Indiana schools on behalf of the Indiana State Board of Education (Board). Pursuant to Ind. Code § 20-31-8-6 and 511 IAC 6.2-6-12, a school may appeal its preliminary category placement if the school believes that the annual assessment data used to calculate the categories does not provide an accurate picture of the school's improvement and performance.
If, after reviewing the school's category placement, the school wishes to appeal the determination then the school must complete the "Appeals Request" form.

Public Law 221
Public Law 221 (P.L. 221) is the state law by which Indiana's accountability model is authorized. Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, Indiana replaced the existing P.L. 221 metrics with the new A-F accountability model in order to determine a school or school corporation's P.L. 221 status. Please click HERE for past P.L. 221 results or more information on P.L. 221.
