SimPE 0.64 installer released 24th Dec 2007
Inge:
If Quaxi's the sort of person we all assumed him to be, someone who enjoys coding and with a tendency to be generous (ie making something for the benefit of others) and also someone who doesn't spend a lot of time interacting with the community apparebtly enjoying the glory, but someone who was becoming increasingly bored with sims-related stuff, then I can't see how he could possibly object to someone simply continuing the project. He has no reason to believe his founding contribution will be airbrushed out of history.
Yet I can't believe that Stormwench is just speaking her own erroneous opinion when she is in sufficient communication with Quaxi to have his full trust as server admin in spite of being *apparently* new to the community and not a very active member at that. Hence the relationship must be at a lower level than just sims community. Could it be that she gained his trust, then murdered him, and now feels guilty and somehow wants to keep his status as SimPE developer alive?
This happened before. Does anyone remember an "Emily" who appeared on the SimPE forum apparently from nowhere, who beat him up so badly she broke his arm and after several weeks of us worrying what had happened to him she took over as his spokesperson and ran the forum? Fortunately she was even able to code SimPE temporarily. I wonder if Stormwench has that ability too?
neriana:
Wow. Have you talked to anyone whom you know to be close to Quaxi? Numenor, maybe?
Inge:
Quaxi seems to be a very private person and I don't think he has confidantes in the sims community, apart from perhaps one female who I count/counted as my friend, who also had admin access on his site but who I believed to have moved on and lost interest in simming. It was through her that I heard when he was missing previously that he was ok and chatting to her regularly about non-sims related things - and that he was becoming less and less interesting in SimPE. And that was back just before the Emily period.
If this is the same person using a new ID of "stormwench" and she didn't have the good grace to contact me privately when she saw what Peter and I were planning, rather than "scolding" us on a public forum, then she can cross me off her friends list permanently!
dizzy:
I don't really see the big deal as long as the developers don't mind the work involved. And it's not like the work can't be merged back into SimPE if Quaxi decides to go back to work on it.
J. M. Pescado:
Clearly, Quaxi has failed us. You must not!
