Obviously never. But the act of reversing something isn't really harmful by itself - it's usually what people do with the information afterwards. RuneScape is a good example of this. Lots of RuneScape servers are illegal, for profit, and blatantly harmful to Jagex. In the case of TLOPO and...

This is just one corner of the overall interest I have in computer science. It's something I do in my free time because I can (much like the TLOPO devs), and in no way is it the only route I've refined any skills I have. If I could talk to the TLOPO devs directly I would but as you can see it's...

Sort of. I'm a developer who has experience in reverse engineering a variety of other games and these topics are interesting to me. However as TLOPO already exists I have no interests in creating another remake of PotCO unless it was for my own amusement on a local machine. As an example, I've...

I've glossed over Astron already and I think it's pretty neat. I'm specifically interested in the AI code that control ships and such. Disney's sailing system and sea battles are very (mechanically) well made for a game as old as this. How much work has to be done on the server side for that? Is...

I'm interested in the software portion of TLOPO - just the general implementation of Disney's OTP server. Does TLOPO use Astron like TTR? I've watched a few of the presentations done by Disney on their server implementation and I'm curious as to the extent that Astron (or if you aren't using...

There be more than one way to hoist the colors

I can tell ye now that this is some kind of funny business. Seventeen o' three and the forum be complainin' I'm too old. We ain't the forums keepers, but can ye fools fix this?
