I finally had some alone time to get some rounds loaded. Winchester brass, AA1680, and CCI primers.
First test was the 123gr .310 Speer SP. I'm not going to list the load as some sites are real picky about posting X grains of whatever. If you have the Loadbook I used the starting load for that bullet and 1680. It cycled the action fine, but the cases were dented bad. The mouths were D shaped instead of O. Next was .5 grain higher and the cases look fine....as well as can be expected from an AK. No more dents. So this will be my starting load to work up from.
Then I loaded a couple of the 150gr .311 Speer SP. I started a little higher than the starting load listed in the book for that bullet and 1680, but well below the max load. Again it cycled the action, but the cases have a very sharp little V shape in the case mouth. So it looks like I will need to work with this one to get a starting load that doesn't destroy the case.
I dug one of each of the bullets out and found that the lead had detached from the copper on the 123gr. It had peeled the jacket back to the cannelure. The 150gr remained intact and had a nice mushroom.
Of course this is with my rifle and yours might not act the same, mileage may vary, etc......

Still uncomfortable, 40 years after 'Roe'
Mollie Wilson O'Reilly January 22, 2013 - 12:46pm
Gail Collins is my favorite New York Times columnist (in, yes, a not-very-crowded field). She's funny and she's smart; she does the "writing lightly about serious matters" thing so well it makes me wonder all the more that the same paper should publish someone as bad at that very thing as Maureen Dowd. (She's also good at politely telling David Brooks why he's full of it.) When I read Collins carefully I can see the impressive amount of work that has gone into a seemingly breezy 800 words, but the result is never effortful. She's a master.The only time my fondness for Collins takes a hit is when she writes about abortion, and not only because we disagree. On that subject I find she writes, like so many other progressives, as though there are no difficult questions left, and support for unrestricted access to abortion is the only decent position a right-thinking, non-woman-hating person can hold. Obviously I'm a bit insulted by that approach. But I'm also disappointed whenever I encounter it. It doesn't sound like an earnest attempt to grapple with a tough issue; it sounds to me like an attempt to convince oneself that there is no more thinking to be done. Coming from either side, self-satisfied absolutism is a dead end.A couple weeks ago, ahead of today's Roe v. Wade anniversary, Collins published a column with the headline "The Woes of Roe." Somewhat ironically, Collins put her finger on an aspect of what I just described:
Americans are permanently uncomfortable with the abortion issue, and they respond most positively to questions that suggest it isnt up to them to decide anything.
But Collins did not acknowledge any of the reasons I can think of that people might still, all these years after Roe, be "uncomfortable" with abortion. Instead she catalogued the "crazy new rules" that are plaguing the nation's abortion clinics:
In Texas, the Legislature is considering a law that would require that all abortions be performed in ambulatory surgical centers. When the state passed that requirement for pregnancies beyond 16 weeks in 2004, every single clinic doing that procedure was forced to shut down. Only a handful managed to reopen in a state that encompasses more than 261,000 square miles.
It so happens that I read that column shortly after my own sixteenth week of pregnancy.
I had an ultrasound at sixteen weeks, and my husband came along we got a sitter for our older child because we knew from experience that it would be worth it. At sixteen weeks, we could see our new baby's face, start the predictions about whom he or she will look like. (We still don't know the sex, but only because we asked the technician not to tell us. At sixteen weeks we could have found that out, too.) We saw a spine, curling and uncurling; kicking legs; perfectly formed fingers and toes. "This baby is going to be a hand model!" the technician laughed, because every time she tried a new angle our baby flashed us a wave. We heard the heartbeat, stronger and louder than it was the first time I heard it, ten weeks earlier. We counted the chambers of the heart and studied the developing brain. Everything is as it should be, we were told. Our baby is healthy. And they gave us pictures to bring home, to hang on the fridge and show our family.With those images in my mind, I read that paragraph from Collins and thought, "It should be difficult to get an abortion after sixteen weeks." Sixteen weeks is a long time to be pregnant; a long time for a baby to grow. Within a day of that ultrasound I could feel my baby kicking. Is it any wonder that people remain uncomfortable with the idea that aborting a baby that far along should be a routine procedure? I can imagine situations in which a woman might feel compelled to end the life within her for example, if she received awful news about her child's health instead of the good news I was lucky enough to get. It's not a choice I would or could ever make, but I can understand it. But I can't see why making such a choice shouldn't require a lot of effort, at the very least. "Over the last 40 years," Collins complains, "women seeking abortions have been put through a lot of unnecessary trauma" like long trips to clinics, or being forced to have ultrasounds before aborting their babies. I guess I'm supposed to be thinking, "Those poor women," and if I were convinced that abortion had no moral dimension I suppose I would be able to see it that way. And I'm not ready to speak up in favor of any particular regulation, not without knowing the specifics. But in general, I found myself thinking again, "It should be hard."Collins, like a lot of prochoicers, has a gloomy sense that the abortion-rights movement is struggling more than it should be at this point in history. I'm not out to give advice to abortion advocates, but it does seem to me that the "abortion, to a right-thinking person, is no big deal" approach is never going to win the day. Too many people have had ultrasounds and not experienced them as trauma. Too many people are not ready to be told that their discomfort with abortion is just a matter of their not thinking about it the right way. It's true, as Collins writes, that even in a conservative state, voters will eventually object to "politicians messing with a womans private business." But I suspect it's also true that widespread discomfort about abortion is, as Collins herself says, permanent, and it seems to me that "the nervous, ambivalent, uncomfortable public" is going to stay that way so long as they find no room on either side of the abortion debate for the full range of things that they are nervous about.
Commenting Guidelines
Ah yes, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the guy who conspired to murder. Oh, but wait, the person he wanted to kill wasn't "innocent" so that's ok then.I think what makes some pro-choice people over-react to any restrictions on abortion is fear, a fear that's represented by examples like the pregnant nine year old Brazilian girl who was raped by her stepfather. The docs told her she would probably die without an abortion. This from TIME ...** The Church excommunicated the doctors who performed the procedure as well. "God's laws," said the archbishop, dictate that abortion is a sin and that transgressors are no longer welcome in the Roman Catholic Church. "They took the life of an innocent," Sobrinho told TIME in a telephone interview. "Abortion is much more serious than killing an adult. An adult may or may not be an innocent, but an unborn child is most definitely innocent. Taking that life cannot be ignored." **I hate this distinction made between the lives of people who are innocent and not - this isn't Christian, it's Thomist.
"both sides claiming that the other is using a person as a means rather than an end)"" ... odd parallel between the pro-lifers wanting to absolutize the fetus from conception and the pro-choicers wanting also to see only cells, to de-absolutize the fetus from beginning to birth."Lisa --I think the argument that the principle that people should not be used as mere means is generlly a fine one, but, like the "never do evil to attain good" needs revisions. As to abortion == no, make that as to pregnancy == yes, the mother is in a senses used to produce a child's life. But the mother also used her own mother in order to live. Doesn't a woman's place in the continuation of the species count for something morally? Complexity, complexity.Your second sentence above is a fine capsulation of the bare basics. It needs endless repeating.
"I hate this distinction made between the lives of people who are innocent and not this isnt Christian, its Thomist."Crystal =-Aw, c'mon. it's Thomas at his worst. And who knows, had he been presented with tha real, stunning, tmost extreme case he might have rethought some things. Also, it is my understanding that for Thomas abortion in the pre-hominizaiton period is not murder, though it is a venial sin.
Ms Watson: You wrote: I hate this distinction made between the lives of people who are innocent and not this isnt Christian, its Thomist.Isn't it biblical? Claire: You wrote: "One might think that Catholics, who can look at a consecrated piece of bread and see Christ beyond the appearance of bread, may have a greater propensity to look at a just-fertilized egg or at a bizarre creature and see a person."I think you've hit on something here. Catholic belief in the Real Presence relies, not on appearances, but on Christ's word. Think of the words of the "Adoro te devote": Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur / Sed auditu solo tuto creditur. / Credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius; / Nil hoc verbo verittis verius." (When the other senses fail, we may rely solely on hearing, because we believe whatever the Son of God has said: Nothing is more true than the word of Truth.)Whether or not the fetus deserves to be treated as a person is not something that can be settled by appearances, but by intelligence and reason taking into account all that ought to be taken into account. They will have to do in the absence of a clear word from Truth himself. But we can at least agree, perhaps, that appearances don't suffice in this matter or any other.
It may be biblical but it isn't Christian. There's a lot that's biblical that Christians eschew .... this example seems even more important than avoiding shellfish. Either all life is sacred without exception or it isn't. And if it isn't then you have to look elsewhere than the gospels for backup. I guess then you're for the death penalty?
The traditional argument of the Churchs teaching is that there is never any justification for abortion; direct killing of the innocent is always and everywhere a sin. During the Second World War, the American, British and German air forces deliberately bombed cities with the intention of killing civilians. There was no pretense that these deaths were the consequence of the victims living close to military targets. The use of atomic weapons against Hiroshima and Nagasaki also had the intention of killing civilians. Even if it were argued that the civilian populations contained war workers who were not innocent in the context of war, their deaths would not justify the killing of the children and fetuses in these populations. The main purpose of bombing whole cities was not to kill workers but to break civilian morale, and/or to bring the war to an early close. To the best of my knowledge (but I am prepared to be corrected on this), neither the Catholic hierarchies in the countries concerned, nor the Pope, condemned these bombings. And no Catholic participating in them was excommunicated. Before someone says, but, but, but .. let me quote from this publication from the past: (Nor can) the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki be justified on the score that what was being done was to end the war and the deaths of the inhabitants were side effects. Double effect can be invoked only when the act is in itself morally legitimate, even though in the particular circumstances it will have foreseeable evil side effects. Nothing can be a side effect if it is the means by which the objective of the act is realized.Michael Dummett, February 11, 2011, Indefensible: Moral teaching after Humanae Vitae http://www.commonwealmagazine.org/indefensible
Ms. Watson: I indicated that the distinction is biblical to counteract the unfounded statement that it was Thomist. It's rather older than that. And, indeed, I'm not prepared to say that the death penalty violates biblical teaching, including that of the New Testament.
Serious question, though off topic: What does it mean that a comment is awaiting moderation? Is one supposed to submit a more moderate version of it?
Jim McCrea,Two moral theologians who supported Humane Vitae were unwavering in their condemnation of terroristic bombing. "In 1944 [John Ford, S.J.] published a forty-nine page article cogently arguing that the rights of the innocent were being violated by the obliteration bombing which the United States and the United Kingdom were even then conducting. In 1945, having mentioned in Notes on Moral Theology the atrocities committed by the Soviets, Nazis, and Japanese, Ford spoke bluntly of the greatest and most extensive single atrocity in the history of all this period, our atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Father Ford was one of the "minority" members of Pope Paul VI's Pontifical Commission on Population, Family, and Birth-rate. He supported the Church's traditional teaching on contraception and was a defender of Humane Vitae. Germain Grisez, another moral theologian who supported Humane Vitae, also has written that the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima are morally indefensible. Moreover, he believes that maintaining a nuclear deterrent is also immoral. Sources:http://www.twotlj.org/Ford.htmhttp://twotlj.org/OW-MorImpNucDeter.pdf
But we can at least agree, perhaps, that appearances dont suffice in this matter or any other.Perhaps. But I remember, back when I was pregnant with my daughter (and eagerly expectant), having insistent and unbidden reminiscences of the life-sucking water lily in Boris Vian's "Ecume des Jours"; and, possibly after too much browsing of books with pictures of embryos, having a nightmare that a tapeworm was invading my body. I'm just not into embryos, I guess. Maybe on this topic one cannot put "intelligence and reason" to good use. There is too much personal bias.
Fr. Komonchak,I mentioned Aquinas because I had thought that until he and Augustine, Christians were pretty much behind pacifism (but maybe I'm wrong?). Ideas about death penalties and just wars were expedient but from what I've read of Jesus, I can't help but think the rating of life based on innocence would have been alien to him.
But we can at least agree, perhaps, that appearances dont suffice in this matter or any other.Coincidentally, Cdl Dolan goes in the opposite direction: http://cny.org/stories/The-Ultrasound-Generation,8775?content_source=&ca...I think of you as the Ultrasound Generation. You are different than any generation that came before you in that your very first baby pictures were taken not with you in your mothers arms, but you alive in her womb. [..] And you have grown up with ultrasound technology that has opened a window into the womb, allowing us to glimpse preborn babies from the earliest weeks of gestation.You have seen your little brothers and sisters before they were born in these grainy videos and photographs pinned to the fridge. Your mom or your dad has shown you those first images of yourself. Some of you have even seen your own children for the first time with newer, clearer 3- and 4-dimensional ultrasound technology. You have gasped with wonder at the sight of little arms flailing and legs kicking, heads bobbing and hearts beating, mouths sucking thumbs.You have seen, and you believe.[] right to choose. [] You are rightly skeptical. They may believe what they say, but in this matter they are wrong. Think of your first baby picture, the one on the flimsy paper with the dark background and the unmistakable image of you. You know better.You have seen, and you believe.[] others are counting on you having some sort of grand epiphany once you get older and, as she said, reality hits. But what they arent counting on is that when you saw yourself, your kid brother or sister, your own child, in that ultrasound photo, reality did hit. And it hit hard.You have seen, and you believe.Politically, I think that he may be right: that, not an appeal to "intelligence and reason", is the way to convince people that the laws ought to be more restrictive. But he's never going to get people on board all the way back to conception if he goes about it in that fashion. Now, I have to say that the fact that Cdl Dolan examines the abortion question solely by an appeal to emotions based on appearances makes me want to not go about it in that way. There's a piece of paradoxical episcopal influence!Since images and videos so easily overpower reason, might it not be better to avoid them in a discussion about abortion? Mollie laid the rule "no mention of Nazis"; how about adding the rule "no mention of appearances"? Then most of the comments above would disappear.
Claire: The problem with emphasizing images in the debate is that the argument can just as easily go in the other direction, as you suggest. I remember a fairly well-known U.S. moral theologian saying once that he had held an early embryo in his hand and he could tell by looking that it couldn't be considered a person. It's the "already out there now real" that Bernard Lonergan so criticized, that is, the notion that knowing is like taking a look and that the real is what you see when you take that look.
There's taking a look and taking a look. How do you know that *any* individual material phenomenon is (or is very probably) a person? Usually it's by hearing the phenomenon using words rationally, but also at times seeing the object reacting to circumstances in a rational way. True, a brief look won't do it. But we only know the rational animals by their rational actions which are given by the senses. So images can be evidence.
Ann: No one denied that sense-data may provide evidence, but evidence is evidence only in reply to a question for understanding, and evidence needs to be marshalled in order to reach a reasonable judgment. And neither understanding nor judging is a matter of taking a look. So I stand by my statement: "appearances dont suffice in this matter or any other."
I think appearances matter a little bit. I don't believe destroying a 100 cell blastocyte is the moral equivalent of throwing a baby off a bridge. I'm not saying it's not wrong, but I don't think it's the same thing.
JAK --I agree that appearances alone are insufficient to settle the matter. But neither are they not part of the evidence. It also seems to me that there many different kinds of evidence needed to come to a reasonable conclusion, including biology, psychology and philosophy, and these days even physical properties might be relevant in establishing whether or not the higher cognitive parts of the brain are operating at any given point in time. Unfortunately, the whole thing is terribly complex, and that inclines us to look for simple answers.
Why such division? Contrary to sloganeering, we Catholics can be pro-life and pro-choice. There's nothing wrong with pro-choice. Some choices, of course, can be wrong or sinful. But if we were all doing what we could to provide a supportive culture for troubled pregnant women -- if we were all living the Gospel -- far fewer wrong choices would be made. But, instead, we seem bent on a divisive discussion to divert our focus from living more Christ-like lives. We are all called to be pro-life. And over 50 percent of us see, as the way to answer this call, ensuring a safety net for troubled pregnant women. This is a necessary first step toward providing that supportive culture which reduces the number of abortions. Removing this safety net will increase the number. So if some of us focus more on this and others more on law change, hey, we've got it pretty well covered. Different gifts, different approaches. Pro-life and pro-choice.
Neither side wants to recognize biological development, or admit that development might have moral meaning.Isn't that the crux of the problem? Development is gradual, but becoming a person is not; it's a discrete event, in our current understanding of it, and that's the problem. It's as though there was a need for something like a theory of mathematical continuity and calculus - the math of motion and change. What troubles me most in the public debate, I think, is when women disappear: pro-lifers show giant pictures of fetuses as though they float in the airIt's true that the link between the pregnant woman and the developing being inside her is unique, without parallel, but that they are looked at separately, centering on one or on the other, rather than as a pair. The fetus is always presented as the powerless one, but the woman is also powerless to prevent the fetus from drawing on her strength and from causing her body to change - powerless, other than by having an abortion. If abortion was out of the picture, they would be chained to one another like a pair of convicts.
Excellent piece, Mollie. It captures where many Catholicsm, including myself, actually are on the issue. Far less helpful for me are lectures by bishops and almost repellent to me was that hyper-triumphalistic "Vigil for Life" at the DC shrine on Wed (televised on Catholic TV). An ocean of male celibates all dressed up in their white silks, their representatives speaking quite cavalierly about sins they themselves cannot commit (we shall leave their actual and unrepented sins against the life of God's people aside for today). To paraphrase a journalist I read long ago here in one of the Boston papers: "If bishops could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament..."But back to Mollie: your piece, indeed, speaks for many of us who are uncomfortable and uneasy with the current state of abortion rights. Safe, legal and rare are the correct "compromise" terms, but I doubt the "rare" part will ever be a reality in the current socio-cultural climate. Thanks for your thoughtful writing.
Claire --The Donceel and Wolter articles I keep referring to give arguments which combine biology and philosophy. There are collections of articles on the matter, but they include technical philosophical stuff. (The aforementioned articles are technical too. But as you know technical does not mean irrelevant. Far from it.) And there are histories of the moral problem. Those I've seen are less satisfactory to me --- they mainly just present conclusions.So far as I can see there has been precious little real debate on the matter. I mean systematic presentations of the pros and cons. JP II on the subject is quite superficial.

The Berkeley Lady Stags' Region 8AAA woes continued with a tough, 51-42 overtime loss on the road Friday night to James Island despite a furious second half comeback.
The Lady Stags scored 29 second half points and carried a one-point lead into the fourth quarter when the game was tied 40-40 going into overtime. The Lady Trojans outscored Berkeley to win the game going away 51-42.
Priscilla Washington's 17 points led the Lady Stags while Jill Funk added 12 points and Ashlynn Smalls seven.
The James Island tilt was just the second game in nearly a month when the Lady Stags eclipsed the 30-point total. The game was the team's fifth loss in a row.
At 4-14 overall and 1-6 in region play, the Lady Stags are young and have had trouble finding any rhythm between the lines this year.
The 53-25 loss to Hanahan on Jan. 29 continued that problem.
Hanahan jumped out to an early 11-4 first quarter lead and never looked back.
An Ashlynn Smalls layup and single free-throws by Priscilla Washington and Bria Liferidge accounted for the Lady Stags' offensive output.
In the second quarter Berkeley showed signs of life, posting a 12-point quarter but was behind by 11 going into the locker room. Smalls had five second quarter points going 3 for 4 from the line and hitting a 12-foot jumper. Smalls led BHS in scoring with 10 points for the game, seven of them coming in the first half.
In the second half the wheels came off the Lady Stags' wagon, mustering just nine points over the game's final two quarters. Alyssa Kinsey had 10 points to lead Hanahan.

Seems Gary is looking for advice on Rumsoakedfist.
Nothing more than trying to get traffic to his site by trashing another teacher who has more training and a better lineage.
With a varied lineage that he hides, Erle Montague, Marcus Brinkman, etc. Why would anyone buy something from someone who does not list their credentials?

Coach Valvin Hambrick reported that all but one of the program's 4-by-100 relay teams won, and the other (9-10 girls), which was missing its fastest runner, finished second.
"I must say this was the best performance we have done in the five years here at home," he said. "I am very proud of our young athletes. They have really become great students of track and field. I watched them dominate this meet, and this is what we needed before going to compete against a very strong sprinting Warner Robins team and tough Crisp County program on April 13th in Warner Robins. This meet will prepare us for the district championships on April 20th."
Hambrick also thanked the community members, parents and school officials for their support and use of the facilities at the high school, and to the sponsors who helped offset the costs.
Competing against the Jones County team were teams from Bibb County, Warner Robins and Henry County, which brought 125 kids.

Apparently they will have this puppy coded and up and running in a mere 4 months for under 6K- So you have been "working" on this for three + years and have nothing to show but once you have 6K this will materialize within MONTHS.

Actually, everyone can go out and make a demo. There's a WEALTH of free, publicly available tutorials across programming, modelling, and various engines which all have freely available versions.
Unity, as a product and platform, almost singlehandedly proves you can just go out and make a demo, with the freely available UnrealED, CryEngine 3 editor, and more freely available for people to start learning and building out their concepts.
And if you look across other indie games that are getting funded across various crowdfunding, they have 100x better pitch-presentations and pre-planned/developed assets to display.
You've got 4 generic zombie-themed game pieces of concept art. Nothing that hasn't been seen/done a dozen places, nothing contemporary to draw the attention, and just from namesake, nothing contemporarily invovative or original, seeing as it's billed in this thread as basically a clone of a drasically more popular product spearheading a genere which already has a second high-profile title in development (State of Decay) and has even already had it's first shady scam-based game in War-Z.
Even if you're just showing the gameplay with no final art and black/white models, if you want to even be taken seriously, you really need to have something tangible in the pitch and not just some rehashed concepts spattered with wishful idealism.
And this is coming from having backed 22 seperate computer games over Kickstarter in the past 12mo, 7 of which are teams of 3 or less, all of which had drastically more compelling pitches or development histories to support their product.
Make something tangible, prove to the public that you even take yourself seriously, and then re-pitch your idea, don't just try to ride the wave while it's high-tide for crowdfunding.

the problem is people are stingy. advertising is essential and a very difficult thing to do. most people arent donating because there is no demo or proof of gameplay. if i set up the indiegogo account asking money for a demo ,i would get backlash because a lot of people dont feel comfertable putting money in a game thats right at the beginning of the development cycle .understand?
people dont fund start ups. (i wish i realised thatbefore) they fund projects that have some success already(demo's or people who worked on othr titles. but when your project is at the beginning (post concept ) ,nobody cares. its harsh but that is the reality

I was going to caustic but I bit it back this time because you honeslty sound young, perhaps too young to understand the complexity of the project you are about to undertake.
Some basic points:
Get an editor to proofread your proposal.
Do some more artwork. I was doing better gun models at 16 years of age.
Dont use other peoples art assets - it has to be all your own.
Come up with a demo level in unity to show your art assets, your aesthetic interpretation, your idea for your world.
You simply need to have the time and patience to present a much better proposal. Once you do you may realise you will need more money to acheive what you want.
Also try to find a hackerspace like group in your local area where coders get together and try to "build a game in 2 days." We have these events in Melbourne so Im sure they have similar where you are. Even if you know nothing you will learn a huge amount in those 2 days and have a much more thoroughly detailed understanding of your own project while meeting lots of people in your local community with similar interests.
Best of luck.
they also outsource work, they have programmers who can also work on games. its called multi tasking
look, here is the campaign, i'am going now because this quite frankly is ridiculous thanks for bashing my game, its good to see the mmo community do what they do best...COMPLAIN
seriously.just look at the posts or threads , you guys are ALWAYS complaining. " gw2 failed, it has no end game " or " the mmoindustry is doomed ,they keep recycling ideas" the list goes on and on. why dont you get behind me and see how you can contribute to this idea instead of looking for every flaw you can find....

Most people voiced their opinions against kickstarter quite a few times, and since I'm assuming kickstarter wouldn't allow you to start the funding there, you went to indiegogo which has way less terms to abide to.

People aren't backing you because you can't even put the effort into representing your idea. If you are too Lazy (or inexperienced) to: 1. Proof read 2. Have a concrete idea 3. Have some sort of work/proof 4. Have realistic goals No one in their right mind will give you money.

Yup. He had "already paid" developers to make a GTA MMO for him last year and some other project had him calling people stupid and arguing with everyone... He was adamite about not showing his work (much of which was completed) and had a "team" of developers.
He isnt a troll- He is delusional and just doesnt see what everyone is telling him- Instead he gets angry and calls people "stingy" and 'haters" etc..
Heres a quote from him:
i knew that the people on mmorpg.com were moany but i didnt think you guys were stupid...
i spent over £5000 on the game , why does that come as a surprise.. minecraft, angry birds, and most apps were all designed under that budget..if you hire freelancers, the production is much cheaper.. i aleady mentioned that i'am not backed b a major publisher
i said there was 300 active npc's. that doest include passengers or policemen etc.. active npc's, who contribute to the player's story
leave the thread please.... you dont know what your talking about
the name of my previous game was called battlereign, it was a war strategy game , but you could enter the battle you were commanding, the developer compltely messed up..
it took me five months. they cancelled because members of the dev team were leaving..
the main issues were money issues, they couldnt continue because i had paid so little for the devlopement.. i tried my best to get a good deal but obviously it backfired.. it is still thier fault since we agreed on finishing the game but they gave me the 3d art modles and left.. chekc them out ,.. their company is called digital artflow
i dont reallu understand what you mean by cluster configuration, are you talking about the ho the server is set up
300 fans, without advertisment.. i made the game through unity ,so i adveritsed through the unity 3d forums
the game started august 2011.. and ended febuary..
MMORPG Game Concepts « Developers Corner
LOOL, am serious abotut the game, it cost me a fortune to produce since am not backed by any major publisher, soon to be released.
-And that about sums it up.
His profile also claims he is in his 30s so youth is not an excuse here...

this is a pretty funny thread , the op is clueless as well as everyone I know does not look and play games based on who makes them but based on reviews of what they think is fun. I played xsyon for awhile and that is indie. Hell minecraft is indie and look at how much money they have made and thats in java.... Angry Birds was indie and about to go bankrupt when they finally got lucky and made it big.
OP coming on this site talking trash from the first post on and making every excuse in the world of why we all suck and you rock just pisses off majority of the people who might of actually took you halfway serious. Also I have a background in the game industry and I can tell you that if you are not willing to put together a strong sound plan with at least a simple video demo of what you want to do and take the time to learn to code yourself at least some CGI or something , absolutely no one is going to take you serious. You can make all the poor excuses you want for people not being interested but you only have yourself to blame for not even bothering to be professional and respectful to the community you are asking money from.

Kill Your Heroes
I've read through your idiegogo proposal, as well as your post history, and all I can say is wow. I don't believe that your intentionally trying to scam, but a scam is exactly what this is.
Your first game was never completed because of money issues, leaving you with nothing but the art assets.
Your second game was supposedly nearly complete, you just lacked the funding to market it. The concept of this almost finished game sounds quite similar to this one, what ever happend with it?
Based on your previous game developement history, it looks like any money given to you will be wasted. You seem to think that your going to get someone else to create a quaility game for you on the cheap, allowing you to do nothing but rake in the dough and come up with more ideas. I'm sorry, but that just isn't how game development works, especially indie game development.
People such as yourself hontestly anger me. There are people like me, who have ideas for games, games that we think could be great. I myself have been going to school for the past few years studying game design and programming, creating small games and trying to teach myself the basics of pixel art and 3D modeling in my free time. i have ideas that I want to get out of my head and into the hands of gamers around the world, and I'm actually doing something about it.
Then you have people such as yourself, who have an idea, and instead of putting in the hard work to make it happen you just want to skip everthing and get someone else to do it for you. What's even worse is you want other people to fund this crap for you. You don't want to put in any of the work, you don't want to put in any of your money. You just want someone to do everything for you because you are so special and your game idea is the best ever, I mean you have a GDD afterall. You make me sick.
I'm sorry if that was overly harsh, I just get tired of seeing these "best MMO ever" idea threads pop up every week. This was the first time that I've ever seen one come with a crowd funding attempt attached, it just left a rotten taste in my mouth.

Remember when craigslist was actually safe for everyone ? where you could buy and sell without fear of being scammed or robbed? lol its only a matter of time before the crooks and cons find a way to do the same with this stuff and rake in 1000s. I know i personally wouldnt fund a dime of my hard earned money to a bunch of wishes and lazy people who cannot even bother learning enough to make a demo or put out some actual work.

(not trying to "push my non existant game- Just showing that I am really working on one and not just talking smack)
-Anyhow, by the time I am in a position to try to get some funding the scam artists will have people too scared to give a dime and it will hurt legitamite people .

As someone already mentioned, why not save a few hundred dollars each month and fund your own project, since all you need is 5500 dollars ?
No one feels confident in you, you are angry and aggressive ..So many people in this thread are "actually" trying to help you, you know..tips and hints is also "donations" of sorts. You should take these tips in consideration, some of them are valueble.
And all you do is blame and accuse, and feel sorry for yourself etc..
I can gladly tell you that I'll pay for AAA game titles, and I watch huge movies like Avatar and The Hobbit, because they entertain me, with high budgets and lots of nice scenery and state of the art graphics. On the other hand, if a indie producer or game developer can set up a game that can hold my interesst I will gladly support it. I had much fun in Terraria for example
2012 has been the year we have seen so many indie titles rise, some even sold more than the AAA market. Things like Greenlight on STEAM all indicates that the small time developers also get's their chance now more than ever. Every month my gaming magazine report and review indie titles, and some of them get's much higher scores than the AAA titles.
Then we have the backside, titles like WAR Z , that tries to get money for half finished products

Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
As it's a free upgrade that gives you more apps, improved features across the board, and better performance, there is really no reason not to get Mavericks on your Mac.
Microsoft Windows 8.1 ( Spanish)
If you're a dedicated Windows 8 hater, the update to Windows 8.1 isn't going to change your mind. For everyone else, this collection of tweaks, fixes, and new features is useful, but everything here should have shipped in the original version last year.
Microsoft Windows 8 Pro ( Upgrade)
Microsoft makes an aggressive, forward-thinking, and bold statement for the future of PCs with Windows 8, and vast security and speed improvements more than justify the $40 upgrade price.
Apple Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard
Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the $29 upgrade fee.
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been, it's where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to right now.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
The grace of Leopard's interface enhancements makes productivity more pleasurable with a Mac, as more than 300 functional and fun features top off this update.
Apple Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger ( Family Pack)
Though its new user features have mixed appeal, Tiger's technological changes and speed improvements make this an enticing upgrade, especially for those who passed on Panther.
Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows Vista Home Basic is essentially warmed-over Windows XP, Windows XP SP3. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
Windows Vista Business
Windows Vista Business is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition w/SP2
We recommend installing Windows XP SP2 but only after Microsoft has had a few weeks to work out the kinks.

An Aiken man was detained after officers found more than 50 grams of marijuana in his car on Thursday, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Jerome Maurice Dillard, 36, of Union Street, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and was placed in the Aiken County detention enter. He had been released as of press time on Friday.
Officers were at the corner of Richland Avenue and Kershaw Street following up on an unrelated incident when they heard a loud disturbance coming from a home on Kershaw Street, according to a report.
Dillard had reportedly been arguing with two other occupants of the home, the report stated.
When an officer approached Dillard to speak with him, he could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from Dillard, according to the report. Dillard said he'd smoked earlier, and while he didn't have any marijuana on him, he told officers there was some in his vehicle.
An officer investigated the vehicle and saw a bag of marijuana and what appeared to be a set of scales in plain view on the passenger seat, according to the report.
At Public Safety headquarters, tests confirmed that the substance was marijuana, and the entire quantity was about 51.2 grams, according to the report. Dillard also has two prior convictions for marijuana possession.

iTunes gets updated, check out the new MiniPlayer!
There's a new iTunes update in town, and at the top of the list of new goodies is a new look MiniPlayer. The tiny little iTunes window has had a makeover that now includes a progress bar for the track currently playing, alongside your album artwork too. It may well be tiny, but it does look a lot nicer now, so good job on that front, Apple.
Also getting the visual makeover treatment is the songs view. With this latest update you can enjoy all your album artwork whilst in songs view. It's a small touch, but I know from personal tastes that having album artwork on show just makes the whole experience a little more pleasurable. But, that's just me.
That's not all though. Also improved in iTunes 11.0.3 is support for multi-disc albums. No more will separate discs be listed as separate albums, all discs will now appear in your iTunes library as a single album. Something I've wanted for some time, as I'm sure countless other users have.
Grab a copy of iTunes 11.0.3 from the download link below, or by heading into Software Update on your Mac, or iTunes on your Mac or Windows PC and hitting check for updates. Once you're done, head on back here and let us know how you like the new updates.

iTunes gets updated, check out the new MiniPlayer!
Sorry if i'm being so stupid but, how does this "multi-disc albums" works? I literally don't understand. can anybody explain further?
oooooh. got it, thanks :) I thought that thing is about combining all singles in one album, (I know you can by putting them in one album with same album name) but iTunes is so stupid, it will choose the album art for the whole album to the first track of the album, since the first track is a single with a different artwork, it will be the default artwork for the whole album :( I hope iTunes fix this now, it's been a long time.
I'm still confused -- and I'm not home to download and take a look myself yet -- but now I use the disc 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 to keep multi-disc CDs organized and iTunes and music.app play them fine. I personally don't want a double-disc with let's say each disc containing 12 songs to be listed as one big disc with 24 songs. Is that what the change is? I prefer it to be disc 1 of 2 with 12 songs and disc 2 of 2 with 12 songs -- all under the same album name -- which is an accurate representation of the source.
i don't even use the disc of tag. Like my box sets are all one album name and like 74 tracks. no "of" part.
I hear you... but that's exactly what I don't want. I'm picky about organization and tagging and IMO the way you do it does not maintain an accurate representation of the source. Anyway, I still haven't updated at home to check out what the change actually is... will this weekend though
i dont have any controls or a progress bar on the mini player, just a search box, wtf?
I see 2 apps that need to be updated, but the "download Updates" button is missing. I see just "Get More Apps" in the lower right corner in the List mode.
Edit" The Update button has moved next to the List button. Duh!
But why these insignificant changes? Just to thow me off?
I just reinstalled iTunes twice, rebooted .... couldn't spot the updates button... silly UI change but glad you spotted..saved me some more work
this is a cool part of the new version that really helps. You can right click to update the app individually or look at the top of the screen when you are in your apps library for updates....you can NOW see what's new in the update from the update screen and of course update them all at once.
You could always do all that in the old version of iTunes. You could see the list of apps needing updates and update them all at once even in the older iTunes.
All they did here was move the button.
Is this still in the mini viewer or the main window.... I see no difference.

As has been widely reported, Peter Jackson unveiled ten minutes of 3D footage from December's first installment of The Hobbit prequel shot in new 48 frames per second format promoted by James Cameron. The surprise was that the audience of fanboys at CinemaCon on Tuesday, who were primed to love it, did not.
Cameron gave a presentation at CinemaCon last year where he introduced higher frame rates as the "future of cinema," and said, "If watching a 3D movie is like looking through a window, then [with this] we've taken the glass out of the window and we're staring at reality." Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm went from saying, "The footage shot at 48 frames a second looked incredible," to "It looked like a made for television BBC movie.… It looked like when you turn your LCD television to the 120 hertz up-conversion setting.… It looked uncompromisingly real—so much so that it looked fake."
Jackson defended the footage after the fact, telling EW, "Nobody is going to stop. This technology is going to keep evolving. At first it's unusual because you've never seen a movie like this before.… It's literally a new experience, but you know, that doesn't last the entire experience of the film; not by any stretch, after 10 minutes or so. That's a different experience than if you see a fast-cutting montage at a technical presentation.… There can only ever be a real reaction, a truthful reaction, when people actually have a chance to see a complete narrative on a particular film.… You settle into it."
As a hedge against audience reaction and the theater's skepticism about the new technology, the film will be released in a crazy number of formats: 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D, each in the traditional 24-frames style and the new 48-frames version. This will be an effective multivariate test of how consumers vote with their ticket purchases, but the debate about whether people will "get used to it" is perhaps missing the most interesting point.
Sciretta's description of his reaction is very revealing. "The footage opened up with wide expansive shots of people walking on mountains and over rich green landscapes — those awesome shots that became synonymous with the Lord of the Rings series when it began a decade ago," he writes. "These shots looked incredible — almost like something you would see in an IMAX 3D nature documentary — so extremely vivid and breathtaking, and more real than we've ever seen these shots before.… This is the future of Cinema… I thought… But my amazement quickly came to an end as the sizzle reel transitioned from the landscape footage to the character centric. Everything looked so… different. It was jarring."
The break point in his experience reminds me of the section in Adrian Bejan and Peder J. Zane's Design in Nature, that describes eye movement as a combination of "long and the fast" horizontal moves and "short and slow" vertical ones. Bejan uses this fact to explain our preference for "golden rectangles," but I think the same insight can help explain why the faster frame rates work much better for distance shots than for closeups.
The "wide expansive shots of people walking on mountains and over rich green landscapes" of New Zealand were convincing to the audience because the dominant movement in these scenes is horizontal and can be scanned across quickly. The reel abruptly cuts to an interior shot of The White Council featuring Saruman, Gandalf, Galadriel and Elrond discussing the Morgul blade that Gandalf has just placed on a table before them, with a green screen in the background. The following scene shows a "prison-crypt, where Gandalf is investigating in the dark, using only his staff as a light source."
These closer up shots force the viewer to scan their eyes up and down to see the changes in the characters' faces and body positions and to separate the figures from the background. These shorter movements are slower than the wide sweeping ones we use to take in landscapes and it could be that there is a cognitive "breakpoint" here that we stumble across when we move from 24fps to 48fps.
Like the "retina" display that is supposed to cross the threshold beyond which we cannot discern any additional detail, there may be such thresholds for the speed of moving images. But unlike pure resolution—image pixels—experiences that engage illusions of depth and movement—moving pixels— trigger decidedly unpleasant sensations. My own experience of the 3D effects in Avatar involved considerable vertiginous discomfort, and I think it is the combination of price and sensory ambivalence that has slowed the adoption of 3D films by consumers.
So the question is, are Cameron and Jackson solving a problem that we do not actually have? There is no question that filmmakers and the movie industry in general need to create experiences in the theater that cannot easily be recreated in the home theater (much less the iPad) if they are to be able to continue to make big budget movies. But only some of what is technologically possible will turn out to be cognitively enjoyable for theater goers. It may be that there needs to be (or in fact already is) a process of video mastering that adjusts the frame rate effects based on the focal length of the scene. But Jackson's assertion that we will just "settle into it," is not convincing. We may, or we may not. It will be interesting to see how popular the different formats turn out to be when The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is finally released. If it is as good a movie as the other films of the franchise, nobody will fuss about the format. If the frame rate turns out to be a major point of criticism, it will not be a good sign.

FaceTime helping couples keep "in touch"
Among its many other use-cases (see Apple's recent set of commercials), there are a growing number of couples taking advantage of FaceTime to help them stay connected -- and stay intimate -- when they're unable to be together. From overnight business trips to long distance relationships, FaceTime on iPhone 4 provides several advantages over regular telephones and computers when it comes to intimate moments.
First, experts say 80% of communication is really transmitted through body language and expression. All of this is lost over text or spoken conversation. Text only allows for word choice. Voice only allows for intonation. With FaceTime and its wonderful video quality you can actually see changes in expression; a twinkle in the eyes, a blush along the cheek, subtle smile, a bittersweet glance.
Second, iPhone is a lot easier to move around the house (and into the bed!) than a clunky old laptop. You can have your iPhone comfortably docked or propped up beside you if you want to keep your hands free, or grab it and take it under the covers if the mood strikes you.
Gizmodo has posted several tips for the more adventurous among you, should you want to try them out.
So have you -- or would you -- use FaceTime to spice up your love life? Let us know in the comments!

FaceTime helping couples keep "in touch"
I would really love to get into FaceTime with my girl, we have a ling distance relationship and she has always dreamed on having an iPhone. I own a 3GS and has worked perfectlly. Hope I can gather money and pay her one. Obviously an iPhone 4 like mine which I'm getting whenever it comes out here in Mexico.
Nice topic by the way!
You guys post the best around iPhone world
Best wishes and good luck on your jobs!
How well does the front camera handle reflected light? Do you need a background light source or can cranking up your screen's backlight give you a decent image as well?
I get so see my kids when im out of town. I love it
TMZ.com has probably had an office party by now celebrating the advent of FaceTime. I sure wouldn't want to be the first famous person who was unwittingly being recorded.
Would the video recording of a FaceTime session be allowed in a court-of-law? Say for instance a recorded session of one of those new sex-chat services popping up that are promoting FaceTime functionality.
While the tape was running, you'd be 'visiting' with someone else -- when it's on YouTube, you're shown alone... A creepy kind of sex tape ;)
I've gotten much mileage this way, which makes my actual travel mileage a bit easier.
I haven't used FaceTime yet. I don't even use my webcam.
Shame on you Georgia for posting a Gizmodo link.
Were not giving those Scum web hits.
At least i know i'm not, ever again.
This is so absurd! iPhone4 is not the first device in the world to have this feature. And the fact that you can't use it over 3g just makes the app useless for most of us!
Thanks tipb for such an amazing article
I've only used FaceTime to test it and I must say that it works amazing over 3G in Orlando.
No adult situations yet though.
Must say it does read like an ad. If it were a howto (use facetime that is lol) it would be different. But its just an ad for a feature thats already known and for a device that wasn't the first to do it. I think its quite obvious that its better than using a laptop. Almost seems like news has to be drummed up about the iPhone these days.
very useful info, thanx! but there is another nice tool i always use http://www.imcapture.com/IMCapture-for-FaceTime/, it records FaceTime calls really great!)

Our new guns.
Behold, our new MP5 and an M4.
Ok, so they're airsoft guns, but they're still cool. Full auto, battery powered and surprisingly accurate at reasonable ranges (I was pegging a pizza box reasonably consistently from circa 200 feet away with the MP5)
I consider them our new "sparring guns".
While I dont have an MP5 varient (yet) The m4 feels very realistic, being made primarily of metal. The mp5 also feels more or less like the real deal which I've played with in the past. They have the same sight picture as their real counterparts so I think they're potentially useful training tools if one wanted to train to shoot people for whatever reason... Next on the list is a beretta 92 varient so I can practice my pistoling ;)
But yeh they're cheap to shoot and I can shoot people with them. We went out to a field yesterday and creeped around in the bushes shooting at people (who were of course, shooting back). It was pretty cool.
Anyways, here's a video of me doing some indoor target practice. The BBs tear the **** out of cardboard from about 20 feet away. Going through both sides of the box (I'm using a towel as a backdrop because they also make sizeable dents in the drywall) Don't forget to note what an awesome shot I am.

which brand did you get?
For a pistol, look into western arms. I have there m92fs perfect edition berreta which is quite nice.
inerestingly enough it is signifigantly heavier than my real P99.
The tatical light on the mp5 is nice as when you turn it on it is much easier to see where the BBs are going.

Airsoft... I was actually a little excited until I read "bb's."

So how safe are these for kids? I want my daughter to start learning about firearm safety and how to pop targets and an M-16/M-4 clone would be great for this.

How old is your daughter? Depending on her age and your goals here are a few options:
1) The Eddie Eagle program from the NRA is good start in terms of gun proofing kids. Its non-political and basically teaches that if you see a gun, dont touch it and go tell and adult. See the NRA web site for details.
2) If you want teach your kids about firearms safety, use firearms and not toys. Start with a 22 and teach her to handle and shoot it. I believe the NRA also has programs for kids.
Simply put, Airsoft guns are toys; they feel like toys, and they handle like toys. They can have a place in Force-on-Force training, but they are NOT GOOD for teaching safety and manipulation.

Namaste, Bratzies,
I am so happy. November is one of my most favorite months out of the year. Can you guess why?
Do you Bratzies know about NaNoWriMo?
NaNoWriMo stands for NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth! For the month of November, people from all around the world commit to completing the first draft of their novel. Or at least, to complete the first 50,000 words of it! It's sooooo cool! Everyone who participates in NaNoWriMo instantly finds a community of writers!
There is a website where you can sign in, upload your pages and share your daily word count. But, you don't have to sign up online to participate! I didn't! Instead, I just told my BBFs all about it, and they are doing it with me!
Once a week we get together and tell each other about our stories. We also give each other ideas, and, most importantly, lots of encouragement!! Writing is hard. Hugs, kind words and constructive criticism are a must!!
Trying to write 50,000 words in one month is no joke! But participating in NaNoWriMo, and giving your dream of being a novelist a real shot, is totally the ZENsible thing to do!
I'm writing a fantasy book! What are you Bratzies writing about? Give me the summary of your story below! I bet it's OM-mazing!
Ooh, and if you need some reading inspiration, check out my brand new comic book, all about me pursuing my passions!
