Site Update Thread!

[pmulcahy11b]

Paul, I've noticed on your site a number of weapons which have a Pen equal to their damage dice. For example a weapon might do Dam 2, Pen 2-Nil.
Given Pen is the number of dice lost per level of armour, how does that differ to a Pen of simply nil

No, that's more of a stupid mistake and lack of attention to detail on my part. ARRRRGGGGHHHH!

[Legbreaker]

Ah, that makes sense.
Damn, I think I've given you a bit of reviewing to do...

[pmulcahy11b]

I'd shoot myself, but the most powerful thing I have around here is a super soaker.

[Legbreaker]

I think that's the most you'd warrant, just as long as it's not filled with some nasty chemicals.
With the amount of work you've done, it's no surprise a few issues have snuck in here and there - it's not like you've got anyone helping you and checking facts, figures, punctuation and calculations! (besides us ungrateful slobs taking full advantage of your generosity )

Just adding to what others have said Paul, your site is immense and has obviously required an incredibly amount of time and patience to build it to what it is. With all the other work you have to do in your own life, people will understand that errors or oversights will creep in.
It takes days to just read through various entries let alone properly review them and as Legbreaker said, it's not like you've got a crew of proofreaders and editors assisting you.
So basically, I'm saying don't stress too much about it, with the years of effort you've put into your site, nobody has a right to whine that you might have a typo or suchlike.

[Legbreaker]

Exactly right, and I for one would be happy to help if I can in even the smallest way.

Do you have it backed up somewhere just in case

The pages get made as Word DOCX files, which I keep, and then get converted to HTML files in word. Then, I backup up using Retrospect, and also use Backblaze.

If you'd like somebody to spell check and edit before publication, I'm happy to put my hand up.

[pmulcahy11b]

I know I have mis-types here and there, but I think I do alright. Usually, mistypes happen to me because I'm thinking faster than I can type.

Paul -

With the proliferation of super short AR style 'Pistols' and extra small SMG's, have you considered making a Machine Pistol category

It's a thought...but I have lots of thoughts that never get on "paper," or sufficiently gel into a fully-formed or even half-assed idea...so many ideas...too few waking hours...

[Panther Al]

I understand that feeling.


I went and did a copy past into a word file the firearms I rate as a machine pistol (PDW's are not in that list) for personal use form your files. If you ever get the urge to generate a list, be happy to forward it on to you to save some workload.

Some days I feel like something George Carlin once said, "I have a lot of great ideas! Problem is, moist of them suck..."
