20:55.14morgoth1145Okay, so we have TM
20:55.18morgoth1145We have Wormulon
20:55.43morgoth1145My gut says no to TM, but that's just because of how annoying he was at the beginning
20:56.30morgoth1145pokes Ose to make sure that Ose knows that he's talking
20:56.59morgoth1145I know TM mentioned being admin on multiple wiki's, so he might have more experience than Wormulon.  Do you happen to know about that?
21:02.09Ose.back
21:02.10morgothBotPyWelcome back, Ose.
21:02.26Osetbh I don't think experience matters
21:02.57morgoth1145True
21:02.58Oseafaik neither you nor oluap had any significant experience when I promoted you
21:03.22morgoth1145I'm not saying that it'll weigh in, I'm just trying to think of stuff that might weigh in to be fair to them
21:03.49Osewhat has dissapointed me is that the vommunity doesn't seem very enthusiastic towards new ideas
21:04.18Osethey don't come on here, they don't discuss much in various forum threads
21:05.10Oseand that has an affect on at least me, as I get disouraged
21:05.10Osehence a lot of half finished projects
21:06.29morgoth1145I'm not sure whether it has an affect on me negatively, but if the community seemed to care more that would probably have a positive affect
21:07.14Osewell
21:07.59morgoth1145You would have thought thta the taxonomy project would have been elated at the new system, since it will make their lives easier in the end.  Speaking of which, that used to be so strong, it just up and died.
21:08.57morgoth1145What also might be happening is that the novelty of Spore is just dying.  I think both TM and Wormulon mentioned on their pages that they've stopped playing Spore.  And so did Oluap, I think.
21:09.04Oseyeah
21:09.21Osethere will be spikes at expansion releases though
21:10.03Oseperhaps they'll come up with a really interesting expansion that will make the player base grow again
21:10.10morgoth1145That'd be cool
21:10.11Osethat's not really up to us though
21:10.30morgoth1145But unless they come out with a Spore 2, I don't expect a great spike.
21:10.50OseSpore MMO? :P
21:11.07morgoth1145but think of the problems that creates
21:11.12Osea bit far away, but a cool idea :P
21:11.22morgoth1145cool idea with holes everywhere
21:11.26Oseyeah
21:11.39morgoth1145You need the servers, you need the ops
21:11.45morgoth1145you need some way to prevent griefing
21:11.56morgoth1145you need to make it fun even though people are of different skills
21:12.06Osewell yeah, it would have to be a completely new game
21:12.20morgoth1145your galaxy will be filled, so you need more of those
21:12.22Oselike Warcraft RTS' vs. WoW
21:12.42morgoth1145I'm proud to have never touched WoW
21:13.13morgoth1145Could have an Evony/OGame/Utopia type contruct
21:13.27morgoth1145universe runs for a set amount of time then resets
21:13.36morgoth1145could have longer and shorter universes, too
21:14.54morgoth1145My one friend would love to be this protector guy who goes and aids newbies
21:15.07morgoth1145(we had a Spore MMO discussion when Spore came out)
21:22.26morgoth1145(Oh, right, and TM's original comment of 'It's fine if I don't get my powers now' annoyed me.  Anyway, reviewing both of them.)
21:27.24morgoth1145Between TM and Wormulon, they seem pretty close
21:27.41morgoth1145It's hard to really pinpoint differences that seem to make a difference.
21:30.01morgoth1145What are your thoughts?
21:31.53morgoth1145pokes Ose in case he got sidetracked. Pings ftw. (I'd probably be doing something else by now, too. I mean, I took a while to get to that.)
21:32.10Oseohai
21:32.28Osewell yeah, they're kinda simmillar
21:32.43OseTM made a bad first impression, but has gotten better
21:33.23morgoth1145They're about the same edit-wise, they both have GA (looking at their pages made me realize I was wrong, they both still seem to be playing)
21:33.23Osewormulon... well, I dunno really, he's just another kinda active guy
21:33.51morgoth1145The thing about that, I think we notice TM more simply because of his bad first impression
21:35.28morgoth1145(Though, I am leaning towards saying TM myself)
21:54.58Osenobody said we only vould pick one
21:55.03Osecould*
22:01.48morgoth1145I know
22:02.00morgoth1145I'm meaning that if we were only picking one, I'd lean towards TM
22:05.53Osewe'll get back to it
22:05.57Osenow, I go to bed
