I'll update later, my bandwidth just dropped below 56k dial-up.

This statement has come up a lot as of late, because of this Wikipedia debacle.

A lot of people out there are saying the developers of BYOND (Not the software developers, the game developers... I need a way to distinguish the two. From here on, BYOND Staff will be labelled as BYOND Staff, and DM programmers as developers, got it?) need to start making more and original games.

What I read when someone says that is: BYOND Developers need to pull their fingers out and make games for us!

I find this to be very, very annoying, sometimes borderline insulting. We work at our own pace, in accordance with our own lives and time-frames. A lot of us have jobs (I envy you!) and loved-ones (I envy you too!) to take care of. We can't afford to spend all our time and effort developing games. We're working on them, but we're working on them slowly. Patience is a virtue.

You can't expect us to read your posts and say: "Crap! They're right! I've been lazy! I really should get this game out! 'Honey! No sex tonight! I have to finish this, oh and can you call the office, tell them I wont be in for a week! I have to finish this 2D game!'". It just doesn't work that way, it'd be cool if it did (because that means the opposite would be true, we can say: "Honey, sex tonight!"... ahh, what a world) but that's just not the case.

The fact is, these things take time. So unless you're willing to pay our wages and... do other things for us... it's just not going to happen that way.

Besides, if you have the time to demand more games, you clearly have the ability to better use that time and learn Dream Maker yourselves. It's not hard, honest! If you really try, you can have the basics down in a week. Give it a month or so, and you should be able to power-out those games others can't find the time to do.

So Australia is sending more troops into Afghanistan. Normally, this event wouldn't phase me at all, because to be honest, I normally wouldn't give a rats tail what the Australian Defence Forces do and why they do it.

The only reason I give a damn now, is because two good friends of mine who joined the army once they completed school, are part of this force heading over.

Naturally, on their heading off party, we were sitting in my car-hold playing pool and watching horrible seventies pornography (I don't judge what you and your friends do to pass time...) and we made the natural "don't get shot now" jokes and the "you'll come back fine... hopefully" comments.

But the fact is, those jokes all have semi-truths. Although the Australian causality rate in Afghanistan has been low (I think we're up to six...) there is still the minute possibility they may be injured. When I say minute, I mean exactly that. A very small chance. But it's in my nature to worry.

So I'll just have to wait until they return, where we can proceed to mass murder some bottles of spirits to some better-quality eighties pornography.

Every now and again, you stumble upon a BYONDer in need. Normally, those BYONDers are kids looking for someone to make them an anime game of the anime popular at the time.

But every now and again, you stumble upon a BYONDer who is in dire need of help. It's happened many times, and many of us have been in that situation.

Now, don't get me wrong, often it's pride shattering to ask people for financial assistance. And a lot of us will suffer because we will never do it. But sometimes, things can get so rough that we have no other option.

I, myself have had some times when that has come across me, and without the donations I received back in that time period, I'd have been boned.

Mikau has also had financial problems as well. I can't speak for him, but I'm sure the donations he received made his life just that little bit easier.

Several others have also come across this issue. I can't possibly list all of us off in any order. But it's safe to say, that at in their times of need, the donations we received from BYOND's populace, made our tough times just that little bit easier - even possibly saved our lives.

Now there is one BYONDer I've cone to know very well as of late. A person I consider a good friend of mine, no matter how bad things get, he always seems to come across in good spirits, even if he is just putting on a show.

That person being Alathon. As it seems, it's now his time of need.

Too be personally honest, I think Alathon is a good asset to BYOND. Not only is he a fantastic programmer but he always seems willing to offer advice to those who require it. This trait isn't as common as we all would like it too be. But it seems his flame is going to be extinguished for a fair while, if something doesn't happen drastically soon.

It took a tiny bit of convincing him to throw a Paypal link into his most recent post, but it appears that he has done it. If any of you have any spare money that isn't going to be any use any time soon, don't be shy in throwing it in his direction. You have no idea how much even a little can help. Both with the costs of living and even psychologically.

Nothing to see here. Just testing a PHP script elseware in the world.
