Programming language?

What server side programming language / database has been used by Kevan to create the game? --APebble 13:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

CGI Darkvengance 03:47, 1 May 2009 (BST)

CGI is not a programming language or a database. --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 09:29, 1 May 2009 (BST)

Well, what is the answer then? The conversation died out and I am hanging to know myself. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:32, 12 May 2009 (BST)

Based on this, I'd say perl. --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 17:50, 12 May 2009 (BST)

What if two characters once used the same computer?

Some of the guys at school and I all made our characters on the same computer. We don't use the same computer anymore, but we want to interact. Are we safe to start working together now as long as we stay off the same computer or can we still be penalized? Also, if we use different library computers in the same library, will we be penalized or are those different IPs? --OmarJXII 19:01, 27 Feb 2009 (EST)

It should be alright to start interacting, as long as you don't use the same computer network/IP to access it at any time in the future. And yes, if you use the same library, it's likely that they will have the same IP and you may be penalised -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 01:35 28 February 2009 (BST)

Okay, I'm with you so far, but now what about this. The other day at school I maxed out the 160 hits per day (since I only use two characters I assume someone else at school used the same computer) so I tried to finish the one character from another computer, and it worked. Does that mean that these are seperate IP addresses? If so does that mean my friends and I can be on a team together? --OmarJXII 17:52, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

That could mean either the two computers are on separate IPs in which case you can work together, one on each machine, without penalty OR it could just have been weird timing and the machines are on the same IP but the reset time came round during your change over from one to the other. Maybe not very likely but it is possible.--DI Sweeny 17:59, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

First of all, back to your homework! :P I wouldn't suggest working together, especially if you have a tendency to swap computers. But there are plenty of web sites around that will tell you the IP address you are accessing the net with. Google IP Checker (or similar), or perhaps someone else here has a link to one in the favourites -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 01:06 18 March 2009 (BST)

Yeah, I would suggest doing what Boxy said and check the IPs of your computers, just to clarify if the computers do have the same IP, but by the sounds of it, they all have different IPs. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 01:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Bad Hearing?

Can dead bodies hear other s talking? What about the radio? I was pretty sure that at least in the first case they can't... --Alexander Abramov 15:46, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Dead bodies cannot hear talking, but they can still hear radio broadcasts. --Johnny Bass 16:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
