Hey all
I just sent a mass message to everyone in Reg, but I know there's some of you guys with vacation'd accounts you'd like to retain access to.

The 'global login' setup simply uses your forum account for everything, no more separate game logins.  And if you're already logged into the forum you'll get links to the games instead of a login box on the homepage.  
Makes signups for turbo a lot easier as well.

Reg isn't quite ready for a reset, and RWL3 isn't ready.  But I've been sitting on this code for a couple months now and its enough of an improvement to warrant going ahead with.  
Inorder for this to work without resetting reg I need to manually join reg accounts to forum accounts.
So just ingame message me (#2), or PM me if you don't want to break vacation, with your forum login name and/or reg account, info depending on which you send to.

This should be done on the evening of the 28th right after turbo resets (so the turbo reset will take a little longer, I'll take down both game servers during the update)

Let me know if you have any questions
Cheers

Yes please. 
I need to join your reg server and forum accounts,
So if you send me a forum pm please send me your reg server account.
If you send me an ingame (#2) please send me your forum name.

If in doubt, send both

Cheers.

This seems awesome. Will we have to send you our login name for every reset?

Nah, this is a one time thing.
It'd have been infinitely easier on me to just reset reg, but because it looks like yall are having fun atm and I <3 you all I'm manually converting reg to the new system. 

Turbo is automatically changed to the new system by me doing the change directly after the round.

So we're delaying this a bit, more than likely next round we'll giv'r a go.

I'm iffy on the stability of what I've currently got, and I'd much rather wait a month than launch buggy code.
Plus, Ollie has offered to make it pretty and more functional, but wont have time till mid April.

This should be a fairly major step up, and a bug free launch would be ideal.
Got somethin' cool for yall this turbo round anyways, make sure you signup.
