After a bit of nothing going on, I'm finally making some real progress with the script.

DDRWangTangKiki helped me figure out how to raise the oil limit (thanks)

Also, rewriting the getstrikeaction and getdefenseaction functions seem to have the desired effect of raising the 65,000 weaponcount limit (which is probably 2 billion or higher now)

The "remember me" for logins is ready, and the way the game handles alliances should now properly allow you the correct number of slots at all times. Also, people can now change their names / races up to 2 times per round without penalty. And of course, a couple small display glitches have been taken care of.

That's the good news.

The bad news is, spying oil and sabotage is not ready. I know this has been at the top of everyone's wish list for quite some time, and I definitely want to implement it, but its hard :(.

Would you like to keep the lightning round going until sabotage is ready (could be a week or maybe even longer), or would you like to have the next real round tommorow with the changes I have put in so far.

I personally am getting sick of the lightning round, and am now a farm for everyone. This is the first time since launching the game that I haven't been actively playing it, and if other people feel the same way I do, I say its best we get on with the new round with what we've got so far.

im ready for you to end it man. even tho spy isnt ready, this lightening round is way too fast and im sure is draining everyone.

edit: actually if u can get the Spy/Sab going by this Friday so we can start a new round on the weekend, that would be better

Well I would recommend waiting for sabotage if it were like "while I finish it" but its more like, I haven't even started it yet.

Does this mean everything wont have rediculously high prices?

Well... hmm... That's undecided.

It does mean once I get all the features added that people want, I can have a 3 month round if I want to.
