This is interesting: DAAK considering adopting AACalc

  • 2007 AAR League

    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!
    :-D

    It is about time.  :-D

    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.

    Alex (aka Panther in the A&A PBEM world)

    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.
