MEPBM code changes

mepbmlist
#1

So, I was having a discussion with one of my fellow PBMers, and we were
going on about one of our favorite subjects: changing ways MEPBM runs.
New special service turns, different encounters, etc. Of course, these
things require the original source to the MEPBM generator, and someone
to actually work on it.

My question is, if you had someone to work on the code, what are the
changes Harlequin could get the rights to change it?

Second, could we get together a group of players to help Harlequin
modify the code? Does this even make sense?

Yes I have no doubt that we could get a group. We recently asked GSI for
the source code so that we could write it up for PCs. You can guess their
answer. :slight_smile:

So I take it they gave you the finger, huh? Even when you waved money in
their face?

In response to my earlier suggestion, if you are gonna tamper with SS codes;
a new order; Capital Sells this order would be used by a character to sell
a percentage of some or all stocks.
OR; Natsells could be limited to nations who actually have some characters
in the capital so that they would Natsell instead of Recon for instance
until all stocks are sold. i think that that would be a reasonable thing
for a nation to do whilst it`s leadership was "away".
