I regret to inform you all that the first issue will not be released for another few days. It has been decided to add to the issue an update on how things are going with the project, something we want to share with our fans.

Thank you for your patience-- I guarantee a release by the end of the current week if not sooner.

Post by: kyalin on February 15, 2002, 09:41:08 am: well if that works than I couild say idiot means smart AND stupid
Title:
Post by: Kada-El on February 16, 2002, 03:01:40 am: Seems kinda silly turning this into a debate on the English language, but why not ;)

My understanding was:

Biannual - twice a year
Biennial - once every two years

both from the Latin

I thought the same can not be applied to weeks, we have to make do with:

Biweekly - twice a week
Fortnighly - once every two weeks

Anyway, nice idea about the newsletter I look forward to the first issue :D

Post by: Cyonamie on February 16, 2002, 03:39:42 am: Hehe, us Americans just say, once every two weeks, or 2 a week, but uh well, im not gonna bother with this stuff, english is hard enough, screw latin ;) . anyway, binary sent me a pm, in it, it said ONCE EVERYTWO WEEKS so just go with that ok:)

Post by: Kendrick on February 22, 2002, 02:44:27 am: I think Luca is Italian
Title:
Post by: Montenegro on February 22, 2002, 03:04:54 am: Meh, at least Luca? is probably not French. Otherwise, all my posts will dissappear :)

Who is this Luca fellow. He hasn\'t really been mentioned any. Also, that would explaine the planeshift.it part. it = italy like uk = england .... hmmm .... uk = United Kingdom cept for the Irish cause they are not united but anyway. Just curious, like, why do the english want Ireland anyway? Its like, more of a pain than its worth.

P.S.

A friend whose been to England says the food is both good and inexpensive, compared to here. Maybe I should move. It costs me about an hour\'s wage to buy a decent meal, unless I cook myself. Probably the equivalent of 2.9 pounds ($6 dollars) not that I know the exchange on that. :rolleyes:
Title:
Post by: Holy_spike on February 22, 2002, 03:16:39 am: If this is based in italy, y does it have www,planesshift3d.com as the forum website? BTW before you move try to find out whats minium wage there. Oh yeah about the anti-american thing, my post it was a joke and I will say sorry to anyone i have offended in any way, shape or form. If the US wasnt in the UN, we could be attacked by the entire force of the UN if their members wanted to. Even though the US is the world\'s strongest military power, I dont think that there would be enough man power, weapons, and money to fend off an attack from around the world.

PS There isn\'t anything beyong PS (just for you to know :)) )

Post by: corsairk8 on February 22, 2002, 07:10:49 pm: The planeshift team owns both http://www.planeshift.it and http://www.planeshift3d.com but we are hosting the forums on a seperate server because the main one does not support mysql.
Title:
Post by: Cyonamie on February 22, 2002, 10:55:44 pm: Edit: I\'ve going back into the shadows, cept for the RP forums:)

Post by: meket on February 23, 2002, 12:46:04 am: i gota question actualy regarding this thread....

has anyone goten the newsletter? i signed up when they first posted this...and they said it would be out last monday...i have gotten nothing :( just wondering if its jsut me or what...
Title:
Post by: Bill on February 23, 2002, 12:49:05 am: I don\'t have one either, but I actually had to re-register or something because I did not complete the form or something.
Title:
Post by: Nu Sham on February 23, 2002, 05:54:39 pm: u guys sure this thing wont send my address to millions of spamming sites?
Title:
Post by: Cyonamie on February 23, 2002, 07:29:56 pm: they wouldnt do that(i hope 8o )
Title:
Post by: ninkwi njadro on February 23, 2002, 07:39:05 pm: I don\'t think so. PS is a non comercial game they don\'t want money so why give the emails to a spammer??
Title:
Post by: Bill on February 23, 2002, 08:19:19 pm: Don\'t worry they won\'t do that.

Others companies do that because they are paid to advertise other sites and when they put your address on other sites they obviously get paid more.

PS is a non-profit game so I doubt they would do that.

Plus, the PS Dev team are not a-holes like some other companies.. X(

Post by: Kada-El on February 28, 2002, 07:20:03 pm: Congratulations to everyone who contributed to get the first issue to us :D

Thank you, there is some interesting stuff there, I look forward to the next one and hearing about other guilds, other development teams and any other juicy extras you decide to include ;)
Title:
Post by: Montenegro on April 09, 2002, 09:53:55 pm: GRRR! :X X( X( I keep thinkin\' Kada has posted something new to this! Its driving me BONKers.
Title:
Post by: Kada-El on April 10, 2002, 03:11:13 pm: Hehehe, sorry Monty. I\'ll post this so you continue to be fooled ;)

I think it was Abemore who suggested I host a copy of the newsletter on my site. I will try to do this as soon as possible, then everyone one who missed it can have access to it.

Let\'s hope more letters will follow when the devs get chance :)

EDIT: Done, newsletter added to my site in the \'Extras\' section, anyone who missed it can now read it there (link below my sig).

Post by: Orion on April 11, 2002, 10:45:48 pm: For some unknown reason, the host that the newsletter is being run through won\'t verify me as a registered member, making it unable for me to receive the newsletter... think you could just auto-add me onto your mailing list?
Orion7399@hotmail.com
Because it\'s giving me a LOT of trouble... thanks.
