I'm trying to write a "cool" game. So far I have this:
obj/cool_game
  New()
    check_coolness()
    read_reply()
  proc
    check_coolness()
      if(time_to_download(my_game) =< reasonable)
        post_message("Babble", "How do I make my game cooler?")
    read_reply(message)
      if(message)
        my_game.Add(message)
        check_coolness()
        spawn(600) read_reply()
What should I add to make my game cooler?

Note that his code wouldn't actually prevent you from logging in. Actually, I take that back. I think it would prevent everyone from logging in. Not sure though.

Well, considering there's no such thing as /world/mob/Login(), I think that would do some pretty warped things.

What should I add to make my game cooler?

Two words:

Lesbian Assassin

Well *I* assumed the fast bitchy assassins in black were lesbian, anyway.

Ha! That's actually where I got the idea.

(By the way, they're not half as bitchy as I am... if you crawl up behind them, they can't even move.)
