I was wondering why you were so familiar. But I certainly don't remember the sucking up part, so I'm going to assume you're flattering yourself.

Stop assuming things, of course there are other ways to do things, but Graal already has its own way that people are familiar with and that doesn't need to change just because you want it to. If GraalScript is to change it should be done full-scale not with small things one at a time.

I would welcome change in the form of GS3 which would eliminate compatibilities with older scripts and be fully object-oriented (no global functions/vars). It should be just like C#.

I wouldn't want to be a global, because then I couldn't be a lazy person and I'd actually have to do what someone tells me to.

No, not threatened at all.

Anyhow, I take back what I said before. You have experience being on the global staff team so I think you'd make an OK addition to the PWA. As long as you stay away from Valikorlia's NPC-Server that is.

I have heard of the horrors contained within Valikorlia's NPC Server but had assumed they were merely myths!

That was from before I got there.

I was once asked to fix a script on some random UC server.

They had trouble figuring out why this wouldn't work:

PHP Code:

if (weapon is fired){
shoot( bullets at players));
} 


Was Valikorlia anything like that? Or not quite that bad?

Valikorlia actually worked, but so can a 2000 character script thats all on one line.

Basically all the scripts on Val were horribly formatted and took time and effort to understand. There were also many scripts in levels and such that only worked because GScript overlooked many errors and made allowances that should not have been allowed.

That all changed when we released New Valikorlia which isn't finished btw.
