Beta weapons forced upgrade now in effect

If you are a beta tester for the new versions of the Wave Katana or the Taketori Katana, you will now find that previous Beta versions no longer work.  When you attach an older Beta, you will get a chat message stating that "This product version has been permanently disabled", and the sword will permanently [...]

Over 9000!!!

Okay, so just for kicks, I decided to look up how many people in C:SI have had over 9000 duels.  Turns out that there are 103 people to have reached that level so far. Here are the top 10 : Warrior Total Duels masmako Slade 50564 Akrazul Boa 39052 ahnzo Yoshikawa 37682 Nampeyo Akina 34463 [...]

If Philip Rosedale designed a restuarant…

There’s a fun thread on Raph Koster’s Website today about a game begun by Sheri Graner Ray, with amusing little quips about what a restaurant would be like if various game designers had designed it. For example: If Will Wright created this restaurant, we’d have to continually monitor what each employee was doing, instructing them [...]

The return of Weekly Duel Stats

In keeping with trying to catch up on all of the C:SI stuff I’ve been neglecting recently, I completely rewrote the Weekly Stats page so that it’s less demanding on our servers while allowing a great deal of flexibility on how it can evolve over time. As you can see from the snapshot, there’s not [...]

Another Skunkworks Project: Recent Activity

As you can see from the snapshot above, I’ve put up a new page on the official C:SI website that simply displays the results of the last 25 duels.  If you want to see more than 25 duels, you can still choose to view the C:SI Twitter Feed, but I think I actually prefer to [...]

These last two days have been by far the best days I’ve had since I contracted the flu a couple of weeks ago, and I think I’ve actually started to kick it,. I have even managed to finally get all of the changes implemented for the upcoming C:SI update. If you are interested in being [...]

Skunkworks: Real-time duel updates on Twitter

UPDATE:  I have applied to Twitter to have C:SI white-listed so that they are not subject to the API Request limit, and was just now notified that the request was approved and will be in effect within 48 hours. Every once in a while I guess I just get a bizarre notion in my head [...]

The Flu from hell!!!

Firstly, I want to apologize.  I know that there are people anxiously awaiting an update, and while they haven’t given me a hard time about it in any way, I am pretty sure I’m holding back the other C:SI developers at this point. I can’t even describe how lousy I feel today.  It’s been over [...]

America, get over it already!

I’m recovering from my nasty flu, but I’m still too tired to add anything interesting of my own on this issue, so let me just point out an article on The Agitator that talks about an imaginary letter that I too would love to see: The Agitator – A Letter I’d Like To See (But [...]
