I created my own branch on the repo (although not publicly because one of the fixes was a security issue), sent the patch to the devs on IRC, and it got delt with within 1-2 weeks. I don't understand how creating your own branch/fork on github (in a public repository) would have not granted you the freedom you want to implement things, or how it "closed" some options.Indeed, you don't understand. And your comparison is again, irrelevant.
We are not talking about fixes, we are talking about a project which requires the involvement of the whole team on the long term. The features mentioned in this thread are maybe 15% of the project. Do you have any idea what we are talking about ? I don't think so. It clearly doesn't look like you do.
We want a global change for the game - that involve much more than a "merge request" can do. We need a domain name, a website, authentication, account registration. We need many testers, many contributors in different area (for instance designing the website, the different features, and defining competitive standards).
Your comparisons are offtopic, same as your attempt to turn it into a opensource vs close source debate which is again not the matter at all.
I've done similar things in the past already, why are you trying to make it look like i don't know it /can/ work sometimes. I like to refer to the example of akimbo and the autodownload, because i had to work on the whole thing from the beginning. But two devs helped me with it (tempest and cleaner). They knew it was a good project and worked on it. Currently, i don't see any active developer who looks interested in the project and who wants to help. In this case, how is it going to get implemented ? I have 0 guarantee. And in this case, the only option left would be to make it a mod for AC, and to make an "external" league based on our mod. Which is obviously not the solution i prefer.
