When part one is released, everyone of this forum and probably many others will want to download it as quickly as possible. Given the likely size of the download, will you have the bandwidth needed to meet the demand, or will you possibly make arrangements with other adventure sites to share the burden?
Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes...


Louisiana Night

The game will be for download from this site.

Although, other forms of distribution are being considered(such as CDs in gaming magazines).

For more information, see Downloading.

and as far as having enough bandwidth... we'll find out this winter, won't we? ;-D

I sure hope not. I hate it when you get a message saying to come back next month because the site has used up it's bandwith.

Welcome TribeHasSpoken! :)
All that is gold does not glitter
Not all who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king

Heh, this thread's pretty funny because we're actually already almost at our bandwidth limit for this month! :-X

I moved the 24mb worth of new Music and Screenshots to our new site: http://www.tsl-game.com in order to aleviate some of the bandwidth usage.  The tsl-game.com site is on an account with unmetered bandwidth and almost double the disk storage as this site.  XD We'll be transferring kq9.org there officially either this month or next.

Right now, it looks more or less like a mirror to this site, but certain features still need to be updated, and others are missing (like the Flash Games and Forum).  The reason for that is because those use databases and in order to avoid conflicting data, it's best to just have one active database at a time.

Anyway, to answer your question TribeHasSpoken, as we get closer to the release date, we will most likely be contacting other sites to be mirrors, and purchasing other "dump" sites where we can put the game or at least large pieces of it.  8)

Bandwidth limits are evil.  :evil: But I knew you guys were thinking of solutions.  :scholar: Yup.

Is it possible, to share it via torrent files??

Yonkey

It's definitely possible, and will probably happen whether we want it to or not. ;P
