I don't see what you're getting at HJ, are you saying that it's intentionally cheap?

I think it's just a byproduct of Revelation's high base stats. High base stats = lower research threshold = lower software store price. I was looking at the other software that still has <v10 listed, and it seems about the same as what the Revelation virus costs per version.

As for this whole Revelation deal, it sounds like fun. Looks like someone other than SGP wants to play with Revelation while they can. Maybe I'll join in the hunt, I've been looking for something to do this past month besides the same old farming.

We would like to reiterate that we stand true to the principles we originally stated. We understand the public is terrified by the prospect of Doomsday, but we again insist that unless others not in alliance with us decide to activate their own copies, we will not begin the countdown to Doomsday. We primarily wish for an end to the Tsar Weapons project. To this end, we claim responsibility for the disinfection of Tsar Bomba as a step towards our primary objective.

For those of you who doubt our intentions, we have begun formats on all servers we own that hold the Revelation virus, and are prepared to delete our copies once all other researched copies are removed. Until then we stand firmly on our position.

Yes I can see this will be interesting; Too bad for SoTL the Tsar Bomba Project died hours before this post. I can post logs for proof if you'd like. Now it appears you're the one blowing smoke :P

Ahem....

You can't see it and I don't have a digital camera to prove it, but my eye is twitching. I've been jerked around too much this week. I need a vacation. Let's cut to the part where SGP and SoTL put down their weapons and walk away... OH wait! SGP is already doing that. Hit complete task now so my heart can start up again and we can all move on with our lives.  Pwetty pweeze!

Don't make me go take a picture of my little brother-in-law doing the Puss In Boots face!

you dont understand it Raistlin if they do it correctly then if SGP install a v 0.1 revelation and have a disinfectiong ready then they can delay it by atleast 6 hours no matter how good they time it all

Okay: Point A) Type more coherently; my eyes bleed attempting to read your poorly capitalized and entirely unpunctuated mishmash of sentences.

That being said: Point B) That's not what SGP was doing. They installed a v2.4. And there's about a week's worth of delay in keeping a disinfect on that ready; using Version 1.0, with enough resources and a few friends (or alts, created from a public library or something), I could trigger Rev in under a week.
Savvy?

Except that the Tsar Weapons were never installed.  Installation was never started by HJ on the Tsar weapons and I had canceled mine some time ago.  In fact to my knowledge all copies of the Tsar weapons have been under deletion for a couple of days now.

Exactly, so SoTL pulled a loaded weapon on a man already surrendering his weapon.

I agree with you completely, and would also join sotl just for the fun of doing so, but my lack of resources and experience is going to make me wait a month(if it lasts that long)

Didn't SGP just clean your server at your request with no request of payment or anything else?

Why cant everyone accept a reset. It is gonna happen anyway. Might as well not delay it anymore. Just restart instead of getting even further

[virus man]

I don't think SoTL's going for a reset, for 2 reasons. One, they haven't got enough Rev's running to end things, and two, they said "we believe that the use of Revelation in any way, shape or form is an abomination and a threat to the safety of all information specialists.". If they do start Doomsday, it'd be pretty hypocritical. And also "an abomination."

Yes and yet they are the only ones installing it.  So they are an abomination.  That means they should be destroyed.

Tsar Bomba was never installed so you could not have disinfected it.  Now SoTL is lieing?  Makes me wonder where their true allegiances lie.

JUST SET OFF THE REV. RESTART AND GET OVER IT. WE KNOW SGP and SoTL /=EPIC FAIL

It's not a matter of flipflopping on SGP's part.  It is a matter that we listed to the public for some time.  And at least I came to the conclusion that if the Tsar Weapons were installed it would mean the end of the round just based on the disinfect times.

I will say this much though.   SoTL could be trying to go for a reset because they are tired of SGP being on Top.  Although the way they are going about it is wrong.

HJ and I talked about this long and hard in chat one night.  You really only need to install 1 Tsar Weapon for it to be the end of the game.  After all once the 24 count down starts all 10 Revelations have to be disinfected before the end of the 24 hours.  That is in large part why the Tsar Weapons were never installed.

I think SGP has made their stance very clear on the Revelations.  Even offering up higher level protects than anyone else in the game has as far as I know.

Defeatist.

Well, I mean just reset. We will eventually reset so, that will just cause us to lose more. Just give it up.
