Slarty's Comic Strip in General

Regardless, Marlenny, we have discussed it numerous times, and each time I have reminded you that I am not your boytoy, and am not interested in your rules for behavior :P -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Monday, March 13 2006 06:43 Profile Homepage #11 Marl, you of all people should understand the point of this. In the past you've complained that small chats are too boring and have told me to "say something!" The random chats tend to have 5 or 6 people, most of whom say nothing, and most of the time conversation is sparse. The scheduled chats have had as many as 25 or so different people, up to 17 at one time, and are engaging and funny. There are people who like the chats, but don't want to sit around on AIM waiting for them to happen, or who can't do it every night. This is a service for them. So hush up. Nobody's saying you can't make a random chat if you want. Nobody's forcing anyone to attend the scheduled chats. Oh, and you can stop spamming cause you won't catch me no matter how hard you try ;) -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Monday, March 13 2006 03:14 Profile Homepage #22 I have very little perspective on this, since the "gimmicks" began shortly after I came to General. But it seems to me there have been many more posts this month than last. That plus the surprising success and scurrilousness of the chats (habitually having 15 people) probably make people more willing to blow energy off on community-oriented things. P.S. So would the monthly stats be a Gimmick with a capital G, then? -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Sunday, March 12 2006 20:50 Profile Homepage #13 Change of plans. A new strip is up! I was just going to ask you about arghhhhhhhhh, actually, Dikiyoba. It seemed a little odd to me that I was fighting against the noobs in your story, given my tendency to defend arghhhhhhhhh. I think Slartucker needs to have some kind of crisis of conscience. The Nethergate forum might be the ideal place, actually, given the fact that you can play Nethergate as either of two opposing sides. Hmm. I'm pondering the hastily chosen title of Slarty versus Desk... this could get ugly. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

My good humor was temporarily derailed by the Ash incident, and this week RL concerns and lack of sleep have been sucking away my creative energy. Slarty vs. Desk will return, but it may be a little while -- I'd rather produce a few strips that are funny and incisive than a whole bunch of drivel. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Blades of Exile - 9.82 (10.0/7.0) in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Sunday, March 12 2006 13:53 Profile Homepage #30 Well, I guess my eye roll was a bit much -- sorry about that. ZZT is a good game with an editor that was, in its own way, revolutionary, and it deserves praise. ZZT was good because it was simple, incredibly simple. The basic game world is ZZT is so much simpler than that of Exile, in terms of mechanics and especially in terms of representation. The ZZT editor will let you do "anything," but a large percentage of "anything" ends up being done through text, or through a huge amount of graphical fudging. BoE aspires to give a specific form to a lot of different things, to make a compromise between ease of use and the ability to be complex. Obviously, the more complicated an editor has to be, the more chances there are for things to go wrong. Now, I'm not excusing anything about BoE here; it had lots of weird bugs, and it could have been supported better. But in the last analysis BoE is far more capable, even given those problems, than anything else in its class. Unlimited Adventures had lots of bugs too, and was far more limited in what it allowed. Don't even get me started on Divinity. Adventure Construction Set was great -- in 1985. And so on. ZZT compares better, in my mind, with some of the scenario-based roguelikes. It's just so very limited in how you can structure things. At the other extreme you have stuff like RPG Toolkit or RPG Maker, which are more flexible than Blades, but also require investing a lot more time to get a finished product. (Yes, I know it takes a huge investment of time to finish a good scenario in BoE. Still.) -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Analysis of Ultimate Game Poll in General
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Sunday, March 12 2006 09:08 Profile Homepage #12 That's a good point Micawber. A larger sample size is almost never a bad thing. This survey doesn't have a truly random sample, but it seems close enough to me. I think the tricky question here is deciding what delimits the board community. We'd get very different results if you include only frequent posters, than if we also included the thousands of quiet or lurking newbies that have at various times been part of the boards. And then what do you do about someone like Djur, who has been around a long time, used to post regularly but now rarely stops by, and whose opinions tend to lie on one extreme? Also, while this goes without saying, it's important to remember that the board community would probably have very different answers from Spiderweb fans in general. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00
