Just a quick, easy question.
I was looking through the pages on the front page, deciding if I should pick this game up again or not, (I was trying to find out Cost and payment option, so if you could help me out with that, i'd appreciate it) and i wondered over to the "Credits" page.
I was just wondering, why isnt Spinner, the person who created the game, listed there O.o? I havnt kept up on Planetarion Politics... so, just wondering whats up with that. I'd certainly think he would be there.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
PA was re-done over... most, if not all the code re-done for R10... It's possible that most of his contributions are gone. That, or it is an oversight on the part of the page maker.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
But, he created the game. Without his contributions, the game wouldnt even exist, whether it was recoded or not. He is responsible for building the player base, as well.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
No offense to the current PA team but I think everyone would love to have Spinner back. He left PA to pursue real life. The fact that his name is not posted on the main page is testimony to how long it has been since he contributed to his creation.
I remember when Spinner, Vish, and Phil were the PA team. Unfortunately times change. PA is still here and the basics of the game are still here but alot has changed. Mostly for the Good.
As far as cost the game is 5 British pounds for one credit. If you buy more at the same time they cost a little less. Payment can be made through a credit card. Read this link for all the options:
http://game.planetarion.com/manual.pl?rn=56781&page=30
This is still a fun game. I have risked divorce 3 times just to play this crazy game. I think my wife is starting to have a little bit of understanding thank God.
You can check it out for free and then upgrade later if the game keeps your interest.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
Find him in #ManagerLeague on irc. This is his new project. He isnt associated with PA anymore. The game is pretty much a total revamp now of what he did. He was a great guy but he and the game have moved on in saparate directions.

Actually theres more 'Spinner Code' in current PA than in Old PA. If I recall correctly old PA was largly coded by Vish and Fudge, with Spinner being more of the Project manage and public face to PA.
PAX however was coded by Spinner after FS went bust and Jolt purchased the game. Fudge and Vish had pretty much left the scene by then and Spinner pretty much did all the coding on the game alone until he left to concentrate on ML a few rounds back

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
Should imagine he's left out because modern pa-team is jealous of his awesome reputation compared to there's. Or maybe just jealous fullstop.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
Well, i mean, it shouldnt matter if he is involved or not, he still created the game, no? Its like saying you shouldn't give edison the credit for making the lightbulb,because its been completely re-worked. O.o

The difference is that God exists, Spinner does not.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.

He either meant Spinner exists and God doesn't, or Spinner is God.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
Is bumping threads still as cool as it was back in the day?
Anyway, I think you'll find he meant what he said, because its a common counter whenever someone is compared to God, or father christmas, or the easter bunny, or wayne rooney, etc?

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
What is this obsession you have with Spinner anyway? what about Oreo, Fudge & co? or that weird zeus dude.
I personally agree with whoever made the website - they shouldn't bother crediting those people who helped make the game, only those that helped destroy it.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
In my humble opinion, I think I deserve a small note in the credits-list for Planetarion (-:
If nothing else, then for using inverted smilies!
And on the "I do not exist" point, well, that is somewhat untrue
As for me leaving Planetarion, it is no more complicated than this: I was fed up with it (-:
As for bumping this thread....Oh drat, I guess I just did!
But Qdeathstar, if you miss me, feel free to make yourself a team in ManagerLeague, I'm easy to spot in there (-:

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
Game creators should ban that forumer who just advertised his game.
Wait.. isn't he the one?

Moderators have eternal discretion - and I see no reason why Planetarion's original creator should be prevented from mentioning a game which has almost no similarities to PA on the forums (-:
On the other hand, you've clearly breached Clause 3 - and if you don't like that, refer to Clause 1.

Re: Just a quick, easy question.
Once, I objected to a moderating decision I made. I referred myself to clause one.
The resultant explosion actually wiped out the dinosaurs.

Spinner should clearly be mentioned, as should all those that originally created PA.
