@Paper It's just a partial port. The actual site isn't available in the Tumour, unfortunately, so I grabbed the most important ones and put them on Github as a sample.
@LunarEclipseSP @Boeing727200F I call this manager meeting to discuss a very important topic:
Garbage cleanup.
The SimplePlanes WPlace corner has a lot of abandoned projects laying around it. These add clutter and make it harder to pack in actually cool stuff without excessive sprawl.
On the other hand, they add bulk, thus making the corner look more substantial - and preserve past contributions, if incomplete.
An incomplete drawing (or long-irrelevant text) can be drawn over, but someone might not see it as part of a gap and thus assume it's taken space.
Thus the question:
Should I cover incomplete/abandoned projects and unneeded text with clear pixels?
This would be deleting history, and would be wasted charges were it'd have been drawn over anyways, but it'd also unlock more real estate closer to the centre of the place, where things are more likely to be seen.
So, should I delete or should I leave?
@Boeing727200F I see.
The Graingy iron ore train is at a 1 pixel per metre, but if there's no precedent I'll have to make my own scale if I make a larger drawing.
@Boeing727200F But you still dealt with them, no? You got a glimpse at the mechanisms.
What I'm curious about, and what I've never tested, is if wheels can be used mechanically by turning the breaks on and rotating them with a rotator...
On an entirely unrelated note, YouTube videos about spooky disappearances make me happy I don't live on Earth. Even if I don't believe in the supernatural (beyond that of Soia and their explorations), it's all still very unsettling.
@Subsere I've realized something.
For the most part, under my management the account has been almost overwhelmingly shitposts.
While you managed it, it was mostly (low-skill) actual posts.
Hey, whatever works.
Indifferent, in all honesty.
My opinion of you is neutral. You're a relatively new player of seemingly on the somewhat lower end of the skill spectrum (i.e. around where I am). You engage in RPs, which I ignore, but otherwise give me no reason to be particularly invested in events surrounding you. Arguably a good thing, as "interesting" often means causing problems.
I prefer the current Gravatar because it's funny. I do see the reference with the first new one, though.
But yes it has been a while.
If you check the bottom it mentions that was the last one before the Devs go on break for the holidays, with work resuming in January. When exactly in January was unclear, but presumably it'll be a bit longer.
I'm willing to wait; everyone needs a break once in a while, after all.
@TheLoadingGorilla someone is supposed to test it, but it’s so slow that you don’t know whether it hasn’t been done or it failed to pass and nobody bothered telling you.
@Boeing727200F No idea what you're talking about. I see some clear pixels from you behind the OG Enstrarch face, but idk if that's new or not.
@Boeing727200F What?
@Randomplayer What fun is life without a little surprise?
Okay, fine, one person.
@Ashdenpaw1 As long as you aren't a girl, or allied with them, you are allowed in the fort.
I don't see any confusion over that.
i have a claymore
+1@Boeing727200F For the record, I mean things like this (which the creator said themselves is abandoned) or this.
Most of it would be text, like people fighting over stuff.

@Boeing727200F Nods along pretending to understand

@Boeing727200F I see. Tbf, resources were far more limited at the time.
I mean, hell, the original (singular) locomotive on my train was a shunter.
@Boeing727200F What do you mean?
Back when I'd use tank cars and girders as point dumps. Heh.
wow.
Kinda funny how small the old one seems now, eh?
@Boeing727200F I see.
+1The Graingy iron ore train is at a 1 pixel per metre, but if there's no precedent I'll have to make my own scale if I make a larger drawing.
@Boeing727200F Question: What scale are the larger locomotives you drew on WPlace to? The ones above your OG train?
@Boeing727200F But you still dealt with them, no? You got a glimpse at the mechanisms.

@TheLoadingGorilla There's a variety.
@TheLoadingGorilla guard the fort and chill. You get a dorito ration for contributing to the defences.
On an entirely unrelated note, YouTube videos about spooky disappearances make me happy I don't live on Earth. Even if I don't believe in the supernatural (beyond that of Soia and their explorations), it's all still very unsettling.
@Boeing727200F You successfully modified one to work in SP2, did you not?
+1@TheLoadingGorilla Then you shall be allowed in.
@TheLoadingGorilla Are you a girl?
@Boeing727200F If I had the time I'd probably try figuring out how SP trains work to see if I could model this one. Unfortunately, I do not.
@TheLoadingGorilla What Boeing said.
It's a blacklist, not a whitelist.
@TheLoadingGorilla Secret.
I like your funny words magic man
+3@Jaspy190 Those are opposites.
@TheLoadingGorilla No girls allowed.
@Boeing727200F That's what the probation period is for.
+1@Boeing727200F a coveted achievement
+1Oh, wonderful. After the probation period you'll be allowed back in the pillow fort as normal.
@Bigolfishboy Then quit acting like it's a problem for you.
Ignore TheRLAF, shipping is expensive.
Real talk, HuskyDynamics is right.
@LunarEclipseSP mfs unfolded the rubix cube
+1can't have shit on wplace
@Michiganstatepolicethe2nd Then you shall never be taken seriously.
@Subsere I've realized something.

@Michiganstatepolicethe2nd Because it is.
Choose a base and stick to it, damnit.
I will never understand you.

bro's an infant
@Michiganstatepolicethe2nd It really isn’t. You just say that because you’re familiar with it.
@TheLoadingGorilla nowhere near enough.
@YishFish42 enabling.
@TheLoadingGorilla someone is supposed to test it, but it’s so slow that you don’t know whether it hasn’t been done or it failed to pass and nobody bothered telling you.
@YishFish42 don’t use such filthy measurements
