OK,

so it seems that this planet is getting passed around a bit, as no one want's the responsibility of deffending it. Let's face it, if we needed another HW, I'm sure everyone would rather have one that not every player can send ships to at the drop of a hat.

In light of this, and after recieving the planet even after I said I didn't want it, I decided that it only makes sense to give it to our current programmer. After all, we already have a giant Z after "the creator", the least we can do is have something to honor Iiri as well.

So after renaming the planet to "All Hail Iiri" (it wouldn't let me change it to Iiri's Haven) and then passing it along to Iiridayn, I realized that someone might think Iiri is getting a little big-headed. I appologize now for any confusion, and I fully suspect that Iiri will change the name as soon as he can. I honestly meant no disrespect.

If anyone feels the need to take the planet, I did put enough T on it to require more than one fully trained assault. Personally, I think Iiri deserves some recognition for all the lost hours of sleep he's contributed just so we can play a free game.

It was either that or try to inject the following into the game

$Owner = "Iiridayn";
$sql = "UPDATE planets SET owner='{$Owner}'";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());

20:57:57 | Iiridayn planet All Hail Iiri has been attacked by Eragon ShadeSlayre, Space Cowboys.

What was the point of that?


Oh, and skylark, you can just assume I'm a something in that case.

Ah, well that explains why "<News> Iiridayn planet All Hail Iiri has been captured by NeroN, LT Republic.". I guess NeroN can ignore my PM ;P. I couldn't figure out why someone would give me a planet named that and then capture it back. Btw, what about points for holding res on that planet only, to provide some incentive? It was suggested a while back, but nobody seemed to like it because Prof was the current owner. Maybe it looks like a better idea now?

And:
"

"

LOL. Btw, you need to read up on SQL injection. Hmm, iirc update injection is a bit harder (at least when it's a select statement you started with), so I can't make something up off the top of my head. But anyway, that PHP code wouldn't work .

"It was suggested a while back, but nobody seemed to like it because Prof was the current owner."
Is that statement misleading? If I didn't know better, from that statement I would think that Prof had already sold the game, or are you just saying the odds are very great that it will be sold?

No, he was speaking about me being the owner of the planet at 0,0,0 at the time that the suggestion was made.

And, don't worry, when I get some credits at the start of the round, I will buy some T and E from players wanting to sell to get planet upgrades, and will use the resources to retake and defend that planet at 0.0.0

Iiri, you're way to technical... I was just trying to make a joke, not give anyone any bad ideas.

Lol, and it was a funny joke . I was just trying to help you make it more realistic . Besides, SQL injection is fun to read about. (Guess what my hobby is . If you guess right, you may understand my desire to buy a black hat and write the word white on it ).
