Garrison Wall and Open Source

Is their any chance is getting the wall working in open Source, Iv never tried it myself but it looks like fun and a competition does tend to attract people, both to participate and to watch?

Me too.

OK then I look forward to the Competition, although I would rather watch a few times before I try it myself

It's "Gahreesen," by the way. "Garrison" is for people stuck in old habits from OOC development before the name was officially changed for the IC game.

Its possible but a question. What we can do with Cyan ages will depend on what Cyan writes into the content license.

I think most of the bugs in the Garrison Wall were in the script so it shouldn't be too hard to get it working again. Didn't D'Lanor fix it in UU?

Right. All the content is there. It's the code.

The wall was working, mostly, on D'mala. That was the only time I ever got to use it. Great treat.

OBJECTION!

*hands to desk maneuver*

Evidence from the DRC Site and historical accounts of that time period indicate that, like most of the events of Choru, the name Garrison did in fact exist in an IC sense, and the age was called as such up until the true name of Gahreesen was discovered!

Yeah, but it's still for people stuck in old habits from OOC development before the name was officially changed for the IC game, regardless of timing.

Don't make me dig out posts from Victor referring to it as Garrison!

HUP! I saw that!

Sigh, yes, this was one thing that I never got to do - climb the Wall. I've seen pics that other folk have posted and it looks great. Waiting, waiting, waiting ... /me does a few push ups to get in trim for when/if the Wall ever opens again.

It would definitely be an event that would attract attention, what would be nice is to set up a public version of the age specifically for "The Wall Competition" it could be like the forum in ancient Greece with less violence,

Let the games begin

That would be a trick as Gahreesen was part of Yeesha's journey and the wall is not immediately accessible. But that does get me to thinking, Jalek would actually make a pretty good public age. Although we might have to change the link in point to something other than the field of play. Don't want to have to stop the game every time a new spectator shows up to watch.

As much as a know, the age was nicknamed "Garrison" because it was close to the real name, and because it really was a garrison. The real name, however, is "Gahreesen", which means something like "big protection building" in D'ni, which is, well, a garrison. So "Garrison" is just a nickname.

Anyway, I always thought it will be cool if we could get the enviroment situations which were mentioned in "The Wall" notebook. It will be very fun to play "the wall" in 400000 c, or -400000 c. Hellish fire and freezing cold.

Beside, thinking about it, maybe we should have more minigames... you know, to keep people returning to the ages.
