Temporal Mechanics archive cracked!
As mentioned in a previous news post, Star-Epock recently asked for help in obtaining data for the old Temporal Mechanics campaign that was trapped in an encrypted archive with a forgotten password.  After many processor-hours of decryption by several members of the community, Fabian finally managed to crack the file and retrieve the campaign data.  Many thanks to Fabian and everyone else who lent a hand!

I think he deserves a new title for this. Also, this means he's automatically included in the TM team, correct?

Re: Temporal Mechanics archive cracked!
Yay, another newspost not posted by an admin. :)

I've given him an enhanced title.  Though since TM is dead, and Star-Epock hasn't been around for nearly two months, I'm not sure if there's a team to speak of.

Re: Temporal Mechanics archive cracked!
... Reflecting on how many people were trying hard to crack the archive, I have to agree with you. If its just gonna die now, it'd be a major disappointment.

Re: Temporal Mechanics archive cracked!
I'm fairly sure the old dev team gets first refusal on it. And maybe a few others.

 
Re: Temporal Mechanics archive cracked!
Wow, congratulations...  I still wrack my head over it every so often when someone mentions 'FS2' and it still eludes me.  That's one less thing to think about :)

I've seriously got no desire to continue this campaign - occasionally I mull over the concept and realise how hackneyed it actually was, so if someone can do something better, be my guest!  :yes:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Oh? I have never heard of this before, and I'm not an HLP newcomer. This campaign must be really, really old.

There's just something semantically wrong with that statement...
