Sounds like another "non-robust code" issue..... strange how this keeps coming around.

To Thresh: I give a **** about the AI, it's ALWAYS going to suck... it doesn't matter what Marshall does it will ALWAYS suck.

The only other issue I really care about at the moment is that I spend 20 minutes downloading 20 files so I can spend 20 seconds playing my turn and then another 2 minutes compressing and uploading my file. To me, that's priority #1 and Simul is priority #2.


LMAO! Wow! I guess I won't use you as a therapist!

For the record: Not a non robust code issue BUT an issue where I am changing something to act in a way that it was not designed which is never easy nor always successful i.e. screen doors on submarines, using knives in gun fights, etc.



Not to give you a hard time but that's kind of the definition of robust code: being able to easily modify and adapt the code.

Anyways, eh, it's whatever. I've given up hope.


Actually no definition of "robust" indicates easy to modify to my knowledge??? Now if you want to say that it's not flexible enough then I might give you a point but then I tend to agree with you when you say "whatever". LOL!

How's that??

This is perfectly understandable. Code design decisions made years ago, for better or worse, are challenging to change without introducing more problems. And again, we are not hearing that this is impossible and not being considered for a later revision? Just not "for now." Most folks familiar with programming get it; some can't or won't.

Again, I would use your words in my reply ... "Whatever"! :-)
