Two notes:

1) This decal was already appealed. Please confine appeals to this thread. You'll get a response within one week.

2) This decal was originally a resubmission made at FLS's request, and I'd already talked to the original artist about it. Since this was supposed to be approved I re-approved it. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Thread closed as it's a duplicate, and the issue is already resolved.

Merged a couple threads, so now you have your very own Flags and Sails thread for all of your previews and experiments

If I'm being unreasonable about a 24-48hr delay in responses, let me know.
I forgot about the per-nation starting points issue (and just posted what I learned.) Isildur stopped by yesterday to talk about the thinking behind endless stagnation on servers with the current conquest system. I think those were the only two "I'll get back to you"s. What am I missing?

If I say I'll get back to you, 24 hours is about right. I'm pretty busy applying... careful pressure... to get 1.2 out the door ASAP.

If I don't say I'll get back to you, well you know how that goes. There are a lot more of you than there are of me. I've been trying to hit the common comments and questions, but I can't reply to absolutely everything.

Turns out I never did get back to you guys on this issue. smiller was right. We didn't adjust the points when Cayenne switched from French to British. We've made this change in 1.2 and are pushing to the live servers tonight with rolling restarts. (Yes, it was supposed to go out last night. I was surprised as you that it didn't.)

Yeah, we're working on that. Unfortunately we missed it for you guys, but hopefully we can do a better acknowledging server victories in the future.

1 in thread /clap for PotBS support... [General PotBS Discussion]
Basically, we're catching up. We brought in a lot of extra people, and we've been improving our tools. There's still more work to be done, but thanks for the kind words! Every night Misha and I go home, we eat dinner, watch about an hour of tv, and then sit in the library where she works for the rest of the night on yet more support issues. Meanwhile, I mostly work as well, but I sometimes read comics. :-)

I think we're on the same page. Australia will get us some data, but we're placing a bet right now as to what it's going to say.

Ah. The plan is to alternate a big content patch with a bug fix tuning patch every month. Our bug fix patches are quite extensive (1.1 changed a lot) but I take your point.
