Not that I'm complaining, but zimmah just did the xml in one evening. I did everything else, the rest of the year. I wouldn't really call it "co-developing".

But where would you be without him?

I know California didn't take me long either, so I understand the reasoning. The effort I put into Pachisi (and am still putting into it) far outweighs the effort it took to whip up California's XML. One issue, though, is maps like R&C and Omega Cities, where their XML is giant and the work that goes into it is most definitely comparable to the amount of work put into the gameplay and graphics of the map. Do you suppose you would hand out a medal for that?

It's something we've been discussing for some time now, but particularly the last couple of months.

With that logic, no changes could ever be made to any policy. The older people are grandfathered in, newer people will just have to suck it up... the cupcakes.
