Back in Black Edition

More rules
Our sexy Player Councilor made more rules for tournaments and tournament directors, you can read them in the pinned threads in the tournaments tab.

Arguing
Just... So much fucking arguing... And we haven't even gotten to the dev call yet(P.S. Still taking questions for that https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YJH ... _SYtk/edit ). Shit is breaking every other day and the devs are at each others throats over everything because it seems at times everyone is just bumbling around thinking they have an IQ of 146 and no one else in the Slack will understand them.
I hope that this is merely a passing thing and that the coming dev call and the server maintenance (which is happening in like 5 hours or some shit) will alleviate most of it. Lest this end in another coup d'etat

Sometimes Being a Nazi is a Good Thing Edition

ded tools
The server running all the cool shit like the other unit db and time wasted calculator at http://rk.sytes.net/scfa/ is currently down, ETA on return is October

Edit: Some cool dude has up a mirror of the tools at [REDACTED] but it's apparently kinda shit, use at your discretion.
Edit: Edit: The actual one can be found again here: http://81.254.172.187/scfa/

Updates? On my FAF?
It's more likely than you think. Bug fixing and feature update coming soon.

There is now a russian development channel in the slack.
I don't speak Russian so this is probably the last I am going to speak on it.

It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature

Alright, time to drop some wisdom on all y'all unedumacated fucks.
If you reclaim volatile shit in-game, it doesn't explode.
Some "Unbiased" positions of authority see this as a bug and want to get rid of it.
Some "Biased" positions of authority see this as a tool in a commander's arsenal and that it should stay.
And like all situations where an unstoppable force meets an immovable object it's going to make for a fucking hilarious dev call, I can tell.

In the mean time someone should go make a 50000 reply thread in the balance forums or necro one from years past, there is bound to be one.

Semi-Bi-Deca-Annual-Qualifiying-Dev-Call-Edition

Dev Calls n' shit
It happened, here is a the TL;DR
-Councilor reelection seems to be less about reelection and more about waiting for someone else to want the job and then making a fuss on the forums so that an election happens
-This Week in Slack will become This Week in Mattermost later this month, ETA is 27 August
-QAI is a broken pile of shit and they need someone to kick it, they have someone in mind but are open to other possibilities
-Nomads Co-op Soon™
-ACU Skins Soon™
-ICE Soon™ but they actually wrote down a date this time. Expect some shit to happen 24 September
-People suck at uploading maps, there may be IQ restrictions on uploading maps to the vault in the first place
-A few more people are going to get trained up to help with server side shit to...

Spoiler: show

Also we may soon be having no maintainer for the Python Client but they don't want to take it round the back of the barn because it might hurt someone's feelings.

Do you really expect me to read all that shit
There was a three day long conversation about the new patch that changed the colours in the lobby or some shit because everyone sucks at getting feedback from the community and treats everyone else on the slack like they are an isolated incident unless they also agree with you.
So I've said it before, if you have an issue with something in FAF, go have a bitch and a moan on the forums.

Sick for the First Time in Years Edition

big words for big people
A lot of talk, a lot of approval by big names. Apparently Steam link is not enabled for new accounts.
But if you're already reading this it probably doesn't concern you.

Mattermost Switch
Got delayed, estimated time of arrival is on Terrorist Day.

ICE

UI lag is back in a big way, no idea what's causing it but the code monkeys are on the case.

NIbbas Gettin Turnt Up At Da Club Like :fire::joy::ok_hand: Edition

A Public Service Announcement By Moon
This is the third time I have seen it now in recent memory and unfortunately I was involved in at least one of these, however to make this clear...
If a popular online content creator streams or makes a video about Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, for God's sake contain your fucking autism.
From the point of view of the content creator in question and their fans if the extent of your vocabulary is "u should play FAF, it has the active community and things like mods and co-op campaign" you do not look helpful, you look pathetic or worse you look like a bot that some guy is using to shill his GTA RP server when there are a dozen of you in the chat.

Situations like these require tact and finesse which apparently 85% of the FAF community lacks. So if you are one of those 85%, please stop talking.

Game Balance Memes
A lot of pull requests and discussion on the git the past week or two on some game fixes.
Some are certainly stranger than others.
Hopefully these are all seen by the community before they are deployed. Or if you're particularly clever you can check the git yourself.

Dr Seuss was so obtuse he used a noose on his caboose because his caboose was so loose that you could swing a cat and echo it's mews edition

ICE
It was tested, is still being tested.
Keep a look out (most likely on discord) if you want to help test it.

The Absolute State of Pythonbois

Replacement still pending, if any will come.

Replay Server
Haven't really talked about it the past few weeks but there is an entire channel dedicated to fixing the replay server.
I have no idea what anything inside it means but there are always a lot of people in it using big words.
