Vendetta Ice hit another milestone...0.2.0...
Public release: 0.3.0
Time of release: Less than a month(Maybe released when the dynamic economy gets put in.)
There maybe one or two more testers added but currently at this point the people I have as testers are doing thier job.
What is Vendetta Ice? Vendetta Ice is a community "program" for Vendetta. I say "program" because you don't install anything on your computer. It just runs in your web browser.
Will there be a client for your computer? We are looking at this possibility for very later versions.
Whats the point of Vendetta Ice? Well for one thing it gives the community something to do and get more involved with Vendetta. It isn't just run by me eather so yes there are other devs(Vendetta Ice Devs)/people involed. We are right now in the process of added more and more features so that it is enjoyed even more. So far from the testers' responses and comments it seems to be liked(that has to be a good sign right? eheh).
Every once and a while (3-5 days) new information on whats in, what is planned, and how Vendetta Ice works will be posted in here(and on my forum).

I kind of fail to see the point of saying, "I've got something, but I'm not going to tell you what it is"
If you're going to make a post like this, give us some actual info, not just a compiled version of what you've been saying in IRC and your forums..

what is it?
My thoughts exactly.
Yeah..... what does Vendetta Ice do? How does the current community?
You guys have no sence in...suspence heheeh.
Here are the listing of people of ice.
Project Leader: StarFreeze
Developers: StarFreeze, Cale, FiReMaGe, Ku Genin & Asphyxia
Lead Testers: FiReMaGe & Lil_Panda
Main Testers: Roguelazer, Blaster, Suicidal Lemming, Huntaar, DuctTape, Asp
Secondary Testers: Verdandi, alienb, UncleDave
Now for "what" it is...ruin my fun...i wanted you guys wait for some info but heres the basic since I guess it is needed.
Basicly you just register in with one of your characters and thats your account. It will soon made that you have to "authorize" your self so that people can't just make a account with your character name.
Once you get you can do stuff like make duels(a very VERY detailed dueling system), send messages through IceMail(our little made messaging system), and make your own personal page of what you like, info about your self for all to see(good for you roleplayers), and a lot more.
How the duel system works...
You make a duel based on possible configs like same ships but different weapons, or small ships with on energy weapons, and etc. When you make your duel against someone...you first select your ship, next comes up a weapon spots based on what ship you have and the duel type. Duels can be official or non-official. Official require an "IceAdmin" to watch(we will have a few of these...it maybe automated). Unofficial...after both sides agree on the duel you can fight. Once the fight is done the person who made the duel selects the winner and loser. If the person who fought says thats not it. The person can deny it. Thus the duel basicly becomes worthless. We will be checking the system regularly to see if there are people who just make duels against himself(using a different char) and try to get on top of the best duelers list by endlessly winning. These people will be banned.
Other stuff to know...
-All admin changes are logged...yes even mine :)
-Passwords are 128bit encrypted
-The GUI looks like the page you are on right now
-All your stats and info are pulled in from the Vendetta site and into our database nightly.
-IceMail can do everything from colors to UBER text making (lol).
-Vendetta Ice is not linked to my forum whats so ever. Even though there has been some people pushing me towards that idea.
-There is a ship and weapon db that shows every thing in vendetta for your refrence.
There is still a lot of stuff planned. Like any project, bugs are always a problem that slows down the process of making ice.
Recently I fixed a bunch of security & just using ice bugs.
More info to come in a few days.

NOW I'm interested. If you need my help let me know.
/me beats SF repeatedly...
I'D BE A BETA TESTER IF YOU'D GIVE ME A COPY!!! >:(

I still don't get it....... It's an email/IM/Dueling stat tracker?
It's a general replacement for things. If SF is ever on IRC, we can finish the forum idea that I last proposed. :P
Camps it's multiple things...all combined into one.
Its kind of skeletal at the moment, but it looks like its gonna be pretty cool. It might actually be *gasp* useful :P
/me raises hand!
I'll be glad to help, large or small scale. I can do lots off graphics/web(and php-ish) work, for what its worth.
Sounds like a great idea *thumbs up*
