Name - John Frank Notman
Born 17th October 1950, Middlesbrough, North Riding of Yorkshire, England.
At age 4, I decided there were too many people called John in my family and I choose to use my second name instead - hence Frank.
Went to Australia in Nov. 1955
Returned UK, August 1959.
Moved to Holland March 1986
Did 1/2 a degree in computer studies. Passed all subjects except Statistics and Numerical Analysis (couldnt even pronounce them in those days). Hence failed degree.
9 months later I finally got a job in compters.
Job 1 - CRC information systems, second largest Time-Sharing bureau in UK. bit like an ISP today.
Accounts programming assistant. ^ weeks later Accounts prog left and I became effective in post. After 6 months I was confirmed permanent in senior post and after 12 months I had my own assistant (who took a lot more training than I had). Id also in this time had 2 rises, each of 33% of my starting salary.
Job 2. CSI, later firm changed to international name of CSC, Largest SW and services house in world.
1st posting was on a NATO project at East Atlantic NATO HQ. My main task was system test of security subsystem,
2nd Posting was RAE (Royal Aircraft Establishment, I.E. Civilian RAF base) Abberforth, rewriting an older system to run faster and handle much more data throughput. I redesigned the file manager along my own lines, 3-5 times faster.
Job 3. John Poland and co. One of LLoyds biggest uderwriting firm.
I was recruited as a new Syetm programmer for the Mainframe. As the work got bigger I formed a team with 4 others under me.
I was there 8 yrs. I left because I differed strongly with management over a new Mini comp they were getting to run the Car policy division. I said outright (and had a 7 page scathing report I wrote put in my personal record) that they would never get their system to work properly for us. 3 rs later the company went bust. The mini system had 1 million GBP overrun, then proved inadequate and they had to mighrate to a bigger (DIFFERENT) machine at a further 1.5 Million.
March 1986 to Sept 2000 I worked at the European Space Agency. I deigned my own user/printer interface for the Mainframe computer to use cheap Laserjet printers. System was 75K lines of orriginal code running in 7 countries, it even updated its controle files internatonally overnight.
since 2000 I havet worked and my health has gradually deteriorated.

I would love an increase of the doub. My base AP is 20k and with vial is 100k ap. I've always been tempted to use 100 USPs just b/c I could. So it takes me like 2 months to charge my AP. Crazy right? I got sick of use USPs so I put my lvl up points in AP. IDK.... wishful thinking. HCS please update your game!
I intend eventually to try to raise base Ap of all my chars to between 5 &10K - BUT - I already have several miners/smelters in excess of 20K base - upto 40K equpped for a few - NOT vialed

I also have been out of the game for over 2 yrs. I've had depression (medicated) for at least 15 yrs, but, on being told my cancer had turned aggressive and was now terminal - I hit a DEEP low (wasnt helped by 6-8 other chronic problems).
The last 3 times I subbed a char for 30 days. on 2 of those occasions I never played it at all, and on the other 1 I played for about 1 hr.
IDEAS (supplemental)
YES - Raiders, BUT, most of what they carry isn't of any further use. How come the raiders still have stocks of Stuff from critters who haven't invaded in yrs, BUT, don't have stocks from new critters who do invade.
New quests
About 3 yrs ago I did a comprehensive suggestion about Advanced+ skills. Some where extensions to existing skills, others were new. We NEED those skills to use out excess points. Such skills would be level Dependant, maybe Limited to 5th Tier. Maybe also a quest B4 they can be used. Some skills would be extensions on existing skills, BUT, would require the existing Skill be maxed B4 they could be used.
A new cult quest, BUT like personal quests it should have a minimum level. Having just checked the top cults list - the top 10 (probably all cults whose CS didn't get scrapped along with all the Cult XP), a minimum level of 10K would be a good start, or maybe 15 or 20K. MUCH harder to reach.
As a reward we could have our own Cleric
For a 2nd cult quest we could get our own shop - BUT - as each shop has different stuff and you have to travel to them, having a "general Store" in the CS would be silly. What I suggest is we have a "Pawn Shop". That is, we cannot buy at the shop, but we can sell excess inventory to save having to go outside to do it.
New items, using new mixers or metals.
We NEED something between the top 2 metals. the jump is enormous. Peeps have been asking 4 this 4 yrs.
I understand you have BRONZE ore/metal in one or more other games and that the excuse is that ores have melted together. Therefore Braskin (tell him to put the realms in as well :-) ) could be the home for such ore/metal.
2-3 yrs ago I documented better Mana (tell hoof to put Mana in the spell checker) and Health potions. 10K is nowt these days when viled some have over a million MP and hundreds of thousands of HP (and can lose over 100K in 1 go).

and fix the slotables so that the items that are slotted so correctly in the inventory
I sussed what was wrong with that at least 3 yrs ago. The original design used is good for a small number of slots and items they fit, but as the number of items goes up - the amount of work to code it in goes up exponentially. (OK, technically geometrically if I remember my 48 yrs old maths properly).
ALSO - it would fix he problem where they changed the stats of an item (removed BOUND) and all of a sudden the slotted versions didnt work and had tto be reported 1 at a time.
I also several times documented in great detail how it could be recoded so that in future it would have no problems of this sort. Also - the recode could be phased in.
I also documented a way of recoded to stop the old level bug only a month or 2 after it 1st occurred.
