Yeah...I've been following all the 1.1 threads, and one question that keeps comming up is, "What happens when Flayra hits 1.1z, and still needs to put out another build?"...not going into gorey detail on that because it's been flogged to death and back. My point is, what would you do if you were in his position? I would <i>love</i> to be able to start spelling odd things after so many different builds of a certain version - which is where dimentia comes into play. Staring at code for hours on end, tracking down bugs, and everything else associated with running a project like that starts to drive a person mad. So, putting out so many builds may eventually lead to us seeing subliminal messages...like, "1.1allsleepandnoplaymakesflayraadullboy" or the ever-infamous, "1.1scorpiansthathovarwithoutflapping"
Just thinking out loud on that one. o.O

maybe it's too late for me to be thinking in a manor that makes sense to people outside of my head...
Only 7 builds left before he'd have to come up with another scheme. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

why people wonder this is as perplexing as why they don't know the answer to it already. There are many solutions, each has their own benefit. Meh, why is this the topic of the week? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
I KNOW HOW THE NAMING SCHEME IS GOING TO GO. i'm just conjecturing on the point of if Flayra was doing it on purpose due to a lack of sleep and a sadistic need to spell out odd phrases after a few years of releasing.

1.1.0.1 ?
Clearly the first word would be 1.1ack ack Ack ACk ACK ACK ACK!!!
AHA! well, then that works. rather well. i can't wait until we can all run around screaming, "ACK! ACKKKACKCAACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACKACCK!"
....on second thought. yeah. nevermind. and wouldn't the first thing you could spell be "arc", anyhoo? or "am" if you really wanted to get picky...

Any good programmer knows you put all that stuff in the comments.
Then, months later, when you're planning to do a code walkthrough, you do a global search-and-replace for expletives and names of coworkers.
