Forge and Nova

[1SDAN]

I'm in.

I nominate both @asiekierka and @Reika as potential Chair(wo)men

 

[Reika]

(wo)

Also how long has 1.8 been released for now? How many modded users are on it? Oddly enough the players wanting modded content are still where the mods are..

That is because all the big mods are still 1.7. They have no choice.

Sorry, my PC was showing. I wasn't sure of either of your genders so I guessed.

Oh, and I also nominate @Vazkii

That is because all the big mods are still 1.7. They have no choice.

Which was precisely my point. We're on 1.7 because the big mods are on 1.7; if those mods decide to stay on 1.7, then we'll follow through with that choice. If they port- we're getting dragged along anyway. (as opposed to 'if they stay, they'll slide into obscurity as the users abandon ship').

Heck- its not like we [users] ever had a real choice in the issue to start with.
I think this might be the first time something like this actually gained enough of a following to [potentially] make a difference.

Edit- for those who have their doubts, how often do you see things like "I won't use Ypack because it lacks Xmod" or "I can't play without XXX installed"? (I see it a fair bit).
Also does anyone remember the drama just before FTB Ultimate was released?- due to it [potentially] being released without RedPower.
Yes a lot of the users may want the latest MC, but it seems they want the mods more. We won't lose the fanbase by sticking with 1.7

But again, this requires that at least the majority of developers stay in 1.7. If most update, most players will eventually learn to move on, just like they did for RedPower.

I nominate both asiekierka and Reika as potential Chair(wo)men

candidates = ["Reika", "Asie", "Vazkii"]
ballot_box = Poll.new("MC Modding Union Chairsperson", candidates)
puts "Vote for new Chairsperson!"
puts "Candidates:"
candidates.each {|person|, puts person}
puts "(Caps insensitive)"
ballot_box.vote(gets.chomp)

 

[keybounce]

$s/vote/stuff("Reika")/

 

[Strikingwolf]

I think we should be able to get enough people to stay on one version...

 

[Reika]

$s/vote/stuff("Reika")/

candidates = ["Reika", "Asie", "Vazkii"]
ballot_box = Poll.new("MC Modding Union Chairsperson", candidates)
puts "Vote for new Chairsperson!"
puts "Candidates:"
candidates.each {|person|, puts person}
puts "(Caps insensitive)"
ballot_box.vote(gets.chomp)

Integer count = votes.get("MC Modding Union Chairsperson");
int val = count != null ? count+1 : 1;
votes.put("MC Modding Union Chairsperson", val);

 

[1SDAN]

puts "...So, we're just gonna talk in code now?"

 

[Strikingwolf]

puts "Obviously"

 

[NJM1564]

So, are we forming a Union or not?

Great idea and then we can call the 1.7 1.8 split a civil war.

cout << "There are still mods being developed for 1.7.\n"
<< "it would suck if everyone moves to 1.8 and they get left behind" << endl;

import qualified Web.Survey.BallotBox as Votes

main = do
    putStrLn "Choose your nominee for the Chairperson of the MC Modding Union"
    putStrLn "Current candidates: Reika, Asie, Vazkii"
    vote <- getLine
    success <- Votes.put "MC Modding Union Chairperson" vote
    if success
        then putStrLn . concat $ ["Vote for ", vote, " sent successfully!"]
        else do
            putStrLn "Vote not recorded. The ballot may have closed, or you entered an invalid nominee. Please check your spelling and try again."
            main

C++ strikes again! And many edits because I'm anal with my formatting.

C++ strikes again!

(println "C++ is a dirty dirty language, but Clojure is nice ")

(defn counting-numbers [] (iterate inc 1))
(take 5 (filter even? (counting-numbers)))

(println "That returns the first 5 even counting numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). Lazy evaluation is awesome")
