I won the Cities Skylines logo contest! w00t! I get an expenses paid trip to PDXCON2018 in Stockholm next month to meet the devs and publisher and check out their new games.

The build is based on Nacka (East Stockholm), where the convention is being held. This took around 3 weeks to make and includes 3 new custom assets (2 buildings and the red-lighted boats) and a new custom map.











If you wanna get any of this stuff, it's all here on my workshop

After recently witnessing a similar snafu occur in the dota2 community, I can tell you with quite some certainty that the only entity that has any IP property claims here is Relic Entertainment/SEGA. Even ESL was rebuffed when they tried to shut down independent streamers of their million dollar dota2 tournaments because they simply don't own the rights to dota2, only Valve does. So only Valve could go to Twitch with DCMA claims. If a tournament organizer wants to disallow unaffiliated streamers, they need to make a deal with the publisher of the game. Just to be clear, I'm talking about people streaming from the game client, not restreaming a twitch stream (which is a clear breach of Twitch TOS). Restreaming another twitch stream is an obvious no-no -- anybody could and should report it to Twitch -- but for our sake, we can put that cut-and-dry aspect of this discussion to rest.

The community etiquette question is a whole other ball of wax and it's good that we're discussing it here. I'm a bit torn on this question as I've always believed that our game has a relatively small community, and basically you want to encourage anybody and everybody to stream it on any occasion, so the more the merrier. But of course you also don't want to step on the toes of those that are organizing these events, because they are putting in tons and tons of work and getting no concrete reward. That effort should be appreciated and a modicum of courtesy with them could go a long way.

Heh yeah, Bremen's not too far from me (Berlin). Would be cool to visit their studio.

Went to the Candidates tournament in Berlin today. Got to see Kramnik's brilliant attack on Aronian, and an amazing fight between Caruana and Mamedyarov. Here's a pic I made of Vladimir wondering what he should eat for dinner as he's crushing Aronian.

Sorry to hear this. He was active playing coh and chatting in streams very recently.

Many years ago, I remember him telling about a time when he met up with Dr.Horse and some of the other RUKA coh players. DrHorse came to the meetup with a huge horse-head mask and they all laughed and had a great time. I remember seeing pics from this meet.
