Unique = custom. Custom titles are not chosen by their reciever, but by Drakey. Alo, already has a pretty unique title, Blademaster, but so does every other mod, so it's not a "custom title."

WARNING : Do Not Read EraserHead's Topic, Apology, or Hello Topics - Nasty Images in General
Master
Member # 4614

My hundredth post was a long time ago. It was a very joyous occasion though. ;)

Just for fun, I was able to scrouge up Kel's 1000th post, which was just a little before my 100th but also a long time ago.

Now I know what all those numbers meant.

I didn't see EraserHead's images, but I'm starting to think I didn't want to. I want to know exactly why Drakel was banned, though. He was quite amusing to me. :P I agree he should have been canned, but not banned.

Computers are a very important part of a Spiderwebber's life. Second only to their account.

Me, well, I happened to find polls rather self-explanatory. :/

Hey, I've got another idea. Along with discussing good and bad games, let's post some links to good games you can download for free. Anyone know some good ones?

Idea - Scenario Storyboard Contest in Blades of Exile
Master
Member # 4614
Profile Homepage #6
TM has a good point. If we were to have a contest, not only should the stories be rated according to the general uniqueness of the story, but the amount of work and detail presented.

Also, for the maps, I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to just load up the editor and draw some terrain, press print screen, resize, and there's a map. It wouldn't necessarily need to include trees, rocks, precise mountain lines, etc., but just have the general layout. The main point here is that anyone can draw terrain, even if they have rather limited experience in scenario making itself.

But then again, it comes to a point where the more detail you specify, the more it suggests you should just finish up the scenario yourself. I think this should be limited to storyline, layouts, and specific puzzles/features, but have limited information as specific as SDFs or even quoted dialog (unless of course it's important for the scenario). The editor should be used for layouts or anything simple enough to turn into an image and post online, but not that much else. If you know what I mean...

I think this is a pretty good idea, though. I find that coming up a good idea for a scenario is far more difficult than the scenario creation itself. Even if complex special node sequences may be more difficult in reality, at least you know what you're doing. Or so you should. So, by emphasizing performing a good planning stage, not only would you give BoE designers, both new and experienced, more skill in this stage that I think is often neglected.

Then, if you find your idea particularly interesting, if someone else does not want to make your scenario for you, you have a good groundwork for making it yourself, and it has much more potential to become a good scenario. Also, as Brett has said, other ideas can be turned into the more renowned designers. But new designers might also take a look at the result and form a good idea themselves.

However, I am inclined to believe that oldbies will be a little hesitant or even feel a little guilty for taking someone's idea and forming it into a scenario with their name in the author column. So, if this contest, or activity, does take place, I think anyone using an idea for a scenario from this contest should include the original creator of the idea as the reciever of very obvious credit if not even a co-author title.

Short stories might be good, too, but they may become less oriented to what can be done with the BoE editor.

What my ideas are at any rate. Accept or disagree, whatever. ;)

Stareye warned him rather severely, and he has since settled down quite a bit. Since he's still not being insolent or unkind to other members, there's no reason to punish him.

Some members just need a chance to adjust to the way of these forums vs. what it was like on their other(s) forums or just their personal lifestyle.

Since MM's post count was a variable, he had posted since I wrote my last post. Now, it would be 1077. Then, it was 1073. My math was right.

1010 + 50 + 34 - 17 = 1077.

That's a good thing for you sig, MM:

post count = 1043 + current.
(I just combined common terms, but any average Joe should have been able to figure that out, so, whatever.)

Hey, Alo, I've got an idea: how about just on this thread, everyone can use your sig whenever they want. That way, the urge will hopfully leave them and they won't be compelled to use it spontaneously. Then again, it might start to be addicting to some people. But still, I think it's a reasonable suggestion...

A rather broad version of Exile vs. Avernum. :P

Okay, I think that's about enough topics for one day, don't you? Try to space these out a little, like one a day or something, okay?

All right. I actually didn't vote because I haven't played geneforge, but I didn't want to vote "hate." Maybe a "Never played" option would be a good thing. I'm a big fan of Exile, however.

Yep. It is always a very fun and satisfying experience, too. Until Alo posts again. I think I've done it three times.

7

7500 posts, which marks the last change in generic title on the list. Since Drakey absolutely refuses to give him a custom title, he has changed his moniker on a daily basis since as a form of rebellion. It has not and is unlikely to ever work. Keeping track of his monikers, however, is a good way to earn yourself a cookie - a good cookie.

Heh. No one reports anything. Drakey regularly reads these forums anyway, and he'll do what needs to be done with the help of any moderators who probably wish to lock all your topics about now.

All you did was spam up Jeff's (or someone's) inbox. And wasted your time.

No one knows exactly what Drakey has access to, but it's more than any of us, that's for sure. I'm imagining he has about as much power over the boards as Jeff himself.

I believe MM's post count is about 1010 + 50 + current - 17.

So 1073.

Right. Asking for someone to rate you is a welcome asking for a ton of 1-stars.

Please refrain from posting meaningless topics such as these, BtW. Try something you're wondering about or something you want to discuss relevant to Spiderweb or common views. If that doesn't ring a light, just don't post new topics.

Yeah, our territory out west is darn bulletproof, if you ask me. You don't need to bring from the east what you consider bulletproof. Urff, whatever, never mind. :D

Alo's cookies are very good also. I had one before, and it tasted quite heavenly, to be honest. Must have been that extra dose of skribbane he added.

Hey, I've got an idea; why don't we start talking about good games now too while continuing to bash the bad games.

I like Descent, which is a great game for older computers but unfortunately runs too fast on newer computers to really be playable without proper adapter programs. :(
