This is interesting: DAAK considering adopting AACalc

[frood]

This blows me away. I got an e-mail today from president@daak.de asking if I wouldn't mind if they used my dicey for their tournament, as they are having some trouble with theirs. Wild.

Traditional input configuration, so it would be easy for their members to adopt.  And it is far more reliable than the one they have that includes a double link through 2 unrelaible sites.

Makes sense to me that they would ask

That's pretty sweet.

I missed a key word in my post this morning...

CONGRATULATIONS!

It is about time. 

I did one game at DAAK with their confounded dice server and decided to never touch it again.  It was enough of a negative experience that I have not gone back.

If they get a reliable server working, I might look at them again but at this point, I have all the game I need right here.

Actually, I got two e-mails a day apart:

First this:

allies@web.de:

Hi Dan,

just tried your AACalc, and I want to say thats a great tool. 
We have an A&A PBEM club (www.daak.de), and are looking for a AAR dice server wich stores the results for validation.
I opened a test game and created a game ID. I chosed   3_3232_3  (this is the format of game numbers on our data base). The program accected this 8 character ID, two test rolls worked well and i got emails from the server.

And then this the day after:

president@daak.de:

Hi,

We found your AA calc (http://frood.net/aacalc/) in the web and since we have problems with our current AAR-Dicey we are planning to use your Dicey as our regular Dicey for AAR (pure luck) games.

I hope this is OK!?

Thanks,

Chris (Pernaug)

DAAK-President

Gee, it's about time the rest of the community realizes how great a tool AACalc is!

Congradualtions.



And yes, I'm still a retired Admiral in this game.  I may come out of retirement later.  Right now I'm extremely busy.

You hear that, Frood?

She's calling you a tool!

You gonna take that?!

Congrats and stuff.

Thanks all.

Sorry I've been laying low - I've really been enjoying my new job since becoming officially a lawyer last Thursday. I'm at a great little firm. Sadly, this means I have less time to devote to developing AACalc. I may have some time the week of July 1-8 though, we'll see.
