Face of Mankind Beta Opens

The Face of Mankind Website has news that beta testing of Duplex Systems' MMORPG (thanks Hump). Here's how the project is described:
This MMORPG uses the first ever player-generated mission system, and combines it with sophisticated economics and complex player politics for a new kind of online experience. Only your ability to shoot, bargain, politic and otherwise duck and deal will advance your character’s private or corporate agenda. The success of each and every mission will determine your rise to the top, or your fall into obscurity. Whatever path you take in this astonishing world, plan well: one day, one minute or a single second could bring you to your destiny as the true Face of Mankind.

"there is still the issue that dell laptop users with SpeedStep tech can "accelerate" their game, thus their run speed. A bug that can't really be "stopped", how ever someone can report the user, logs can then be checked (user does not need to be caught in the act by a GM), and the user will be banned. "

Wow, that's some really badly written code if they can't allow for a change in processor speed on the fly. Hard to see how that can happen, given that the range of machines it needs to run on means they have to be using timing independent of the cpu.
