Title: Thank you to dougz and isotropic.
Post by: DrFlux on August 14, 2012, 08:00:08 pm
There has been a lot of complaining about the move over to fun sockets. While I am optimistic that fun dominion play will go on, I think there has been an aspect of this anxiety that has been overlooked. The community built on isotropic+dominionstrategy+councilroom (plus the sims too) is awesome, and most of the complaining comes from how good this community is, and anxiety that it will change. I think that community will change a bit, but ultimately still be pretty awesome, and continue to grow.

However, that argument is not the point of this thread. Rather, its to thank the people involved in this community: particularly dougz, theory, and of course Donald X. Vaccarino. How cool is it that a game designer is so involved in the community and let us have years of online dominion without seeing a penny. How cool is it that people are willing to host servers, write elaborate code, and write strategy articles, all for such an awesome game, and for no profit.

So Lets say thank you, to all the people who have made this community awesome.

I also am no expert on who does what in the isotropic community, so feel free to help me out!

Ah....and don't forget rrenaud.  He has done a lot of work to keep this all going too! 
I also wan't to give a special thanks to WanderingWinder since he is not recognized too often.  He has spent many hours recording and preparing so he could help out the less-talented like me ;)

Here's to the ever expanding world of Dominion!!!

In addition to those already mentioned -- big thanks to all of them, without whom I probably would have stopped playing Dominion long ago -- there's also rspeer, who IIRC has been involved in both councilroom and in simulator development.

Thanks everyone!

Yes, thanks to everyone who made Isotropic fun. 

But it's not like it's the end of everything, just a change in direction. :)
