Welp I am glad you are better computer wise. Don't worry about that shit happens

To explain what is going on may take longer than I have now, but I'll do my best.

The only true issue is well git. If you were on git we would have been able to better communicate when things happened and we could back out or branch of changes. The file issue, you alone syndrome, etc would not have happened.

I think that if you are able to return that's the only major change.

The other issue is well communication. I'm part to blame with my IRL events that made me vanish for so long. We as a group need to discuss everything. My role is to make sure everyone is working toward the primary goal, project the acmlm-yness, make sure everyone has what they need, and to break ties and the occasional 'executive decisions' that I hate so much.. but the group together makes the decisions. If they don't communicate we end up running into a big mess like we have now.

As for this 60% of your code. We're not just going to lob it off if we don't have to. We need to press on and in order to do so we need to start optimizing and bug fixing. Your perm system will be modded but not cut out (unless we have no choice). The arrays really are the only thing we're really going to need to rip out and redo. This is something you even showed some agreement on. We're not going to remove all your code, so don't worry about that. We're going to optimize it that's all. (yes that may mean scope removal but if you explain it in full detail maybe another dev will decide for it and it'll stay)

Core is more important than the RPG. So you did the right thing. Don't fret on that.

One thing Bouche reminded me of when I we were talking the other day that code on group projects doesn't always get used/rewritten. I've had some of my stuff just outright removed before.. yeah it stings but it's important to know it's meant to be done for the project's well being.

If you look at the git repository right now I am splitting off a copy of 2.5.1+kafuka for possibly a mid term update to Kafuka. Than we are trying to learn about the changes in your code base. Going to optimize it and start working on it again.

That said the only thing that you'll need to do when you are able to come back is join the dev room and we'll get you setup for git. If you are gone a while you'll be able to join us in where we are.
