Trouble.

Alright, as most of us can tell, things are not going well. The community is on the verge of collapse, Rhys is gonezors, and the forums temporarily died. We need to pull out of this, and Pythagoras is the only person who can help us now.

So, we need a State of the Game Address as soon as possible, and we need 8.0 finished or not, with or without Rhys. If the item system is working, that is enough. We just need to have something to help revive the community. I'm sorry that this has fallen on your shoulders Pythagoras, but your our only hope.

well shae quit...
Proof

Djinni pretty much annihilated this topic by deleting all the posts. It seems pretty straightforward to me:

Rhys quit. MM&M died. Forums went with it.

Pfft, Pythagoras will save us.

if rhys quit, he'd tell us. maybe not as much of an epic-long post like sinistering's was, but at least some notice. something happened to rhys to cause his disappearance...

even so we do need to pull the community out of this rut. come on pyth D: we need you!

Ya pyth is the only 1 who can save us now >_>, Hopefully you don't have to do much to fix it to working from your version if you want from there I can drop my map and try working on MMM though it will be rather slow work outside of balancing.

JASS was and is your downfall. Not enough people know it, and therefore not enough people can work with it. So when you lose your mapmaker...you're done for. Luckily, we have two, otherwise, we WOULD be done for.

But where is Pythagoras. I haven't seen him in days, and he isn't posting on the forum. I'm really worried, because if Pythagoras leaves us we are probably done for.

Well the forums have been half dead for a few days w/ nothing to post so I don't think he has left us.

Py was on yesterday, i think. Do remember he lives in Cali, so hes on a bit of a time difference, and he has classes till 9:30 if I remember correct. Py never posts much anyway.

I'm going to release 8.00 this weekend... It may not be as stable as I would like it to be, but it must be done. Expect it Saturday night at the latest. I only have tuesday and thursday mornings and weekends available as free time to work on map making, and I don't even have a steady job yet.

The reason I wasn't posting was that I was holding out to see if Rhys would make a triumphant return, but its getting late and I think the community needs something.

Thank you for your help. We really do need you. Even if it isn't quite stable, Jay J. and the rest of the community will help with balance. Final decisions will now be up to you, and I understand things will slow down without two mappers and with you being more busy. Still, it is at least something and will hopefully save the map. It would be especially nice if 8.01 with the major bugs or balance issues fixed by the next week.

Thank you for all your hand work, I'm not sure you know how much your needed.
