So say the entire staff of RWL coincidentally had something really important to do on the same day, and they came to YOU to ask if you could run RWL for a day. What would you do? You are the only staff member pro tempore, and assume you have all the programming knowledge you need to do what you want. Feel free to take this as seriously or non-seriously as you want. Staff members can answer too. =) Go!

RWLers, your wish is my command...as long as it complies with the rules.

Cluny's Hut would permanently be changed to Holby's Hut in honour of my skill and charismatic personality.

Peace Alliance

I would assemble a team to search wildly through the code for the famed PAbug, written many years ago by Retto when he was upset at how much better I was then everyone else in the game and had to level the playing field....

Then I would go mad with power.

Juska

Mod all of Wolf Snare's and Holby's posts.

J/k.

I'd give the game good race stats and nerf leader attack land gain and remove attack opportunity spells.

Shadow

I would make attack opportunity affected by raised shields. And rework most of the losses formulas ^_^

Completely re-write the source code from scratch. Except, document my code, and use better (read: more maintainable) design. Of course, I'd also leave the visual design at minimum functionality (read: ugly) for Peace to fix up later :)

Baring that, I'd take a version of FAF, clean up it's install system and the various outstanding bugs I know of, port Peace's visual design to it. Then, I'd use something like Doxygen to document every last function (and while I was at it, I would split as much stuff as possible into functions). Then, I'd copy the existing reg and turbo rounds into it (hey, we are assuming I'm acctually good at the stuff I kindof know how to do :) )

Baring that, I'd work on SVN. I'd set up the actual repo out of web-space. Then I'd have a crontab copy it into a testing directory (and run its database setup stuff) once a day. Repeat for both reg and turbo, and for those I'd have a manually fired script to 'install'  (read: copy all changed files) it into reg or turbo. Wait, there's really nothing preventing me from doing that right now... Bah, I'll do it later. Oh, and turn doxygen loose on RWL too.


Oh, and I'd definitely bring back the old forum theme.
