Re: Galactic News glitch

When I logged on a few minutes ago I got this below my empire data

"Galactic News
http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20120709T17&p0=136&fg1=ff605a&msg=PW+starts"

Is anyone else getting this?

Words will always retain their power.  Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen: the enunciation of truth.

Re: Galactic News glitch

Yes. It's a countdown timer, not a glitch. It is a link...we are trying to make a way to show how much time until round starts. This is just test #1.

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: Galactic News glitch

yes, there have been a few countdowns posted before, IDK if there is a cleaner way to do this besides linking to an outside website because it seems like if anybody hacked into it they could spread malicious software pretty quickly

just something to keep in mind, no security is impenetrable there have been viruses spread to look for a specific targets in specific facilities and mess with them.  that is sort of an extreme example and IDK where i was going with it.  i am probably thinking too far into the subject

everything is inextricably inter-twingled
