How many of you other people can say they speak English natively and are from the UK? I may be Scottish with just as an incomprehensible accent as the Americans among us to you foreigners, but at least I can say mines is better, and without making the T's in better into D's!

I fail to see how "american" can be generalized into its own accent. Do you have a microphone on your computer? I'd just like to see you TRY to emulate THE American accent. Within the space of two cities, one will hear two uniquely distinct accents. Take New York and Boston: Neither are particularilly distanced from the other, but both have radically different accents. My point is thus; if you feel like bashing american accents, then at least specify which ones in particular irritate you. (I know for a fact that most midwesterners don't butcher their D's *or* their T's. Sorry.)

PS- "mines"? It is reprehensible to no small degree* to butcher the language like that in a lingual discussion. -_-
(*Motrax, take note- "small degree" fares better in a conversation than "little bit" unless the latter is required by virtue of avoiding redundancy.)

Welcome to Spiderweb Software Message Boards!

Please learn some basic grammar, preferably that of the English language.

Thank you, and have a nice day. ^_^

EDIT: And as an aside, it's "Griffons" (or Gryphons- I've seen it spelled both ways) and "Basilisks".

Karzoth- If you're trying to become the Lyceum of BoE, then that's great- but clearly you weren't reading what I was saying. I'm all for placing most of the burden on the community- quite honestly, avid players of the game should by all means have more potential to successfully handle many things involved. I at least want some measure of support for the established community on Jeff's behalf, though. The Lyceum did quite well on its debut contest, but every contest since has gotten fewer scenarios and judges, seeing how it just didn't have enough publicity. Like it or not, while we're all 99% independent, some company support would have helped (and will help) immensely.

Djur- Sad fact, but Pyg won't draw in as many users as BoA will. I might use Pyg if it's decent and all, but if BoA ends up being decent in both product and coverage, then it would reach a larger audience by nature of Spidweb's greater notorioty and therefore be worthwhile to design in.

English ist meine gebürtige Sprache, und meine Grammatik ist night so gut. -_-

It's a testament to America and other anglophones that they speak our tongue so cognizantly, often including tricky idiom, where we only know one of theirs and butcher it constantly. Props to the lot of you.

First off, these boards and the site are a hub for activity- something that I feel can and should benefit the community. Announcements should be made regarding BoA contests *apart* from only the first so that more people are aware of them. I mean, who actually knew that Olympia was still holding scenario contests until the boards first started up? It's not that hard to write up a few lines of HTML, and placed in the right location, those few lines could draw dozens of judges/competitors (which were sadly missing from the last two contests).

I'm also in support of a better reviewing system- most likely, transposing CSR from Lyceum to Spidweb. (FYI, CSR stands for "Comprehensive [BoE] Scenario Rankings", and can be found here: http://pub26.ezboard.com/fthelyceumfrm27.showMessage?topicID=197.topic ) Admittedly, this draws in more idiots on account of Spidweb's having more cumulatively, so I'd also be for adding more mods and lowering the number of ratings that result in the highest and lowest being lopped off. Still, if the designers know what EVERYONE in the community thinks about their scenarios, then it would benefit EVERYONE in the sense that they would be getting more feedback from more people. I'd be willing to moderate such a thing if Spidweb would be willing to host it.

Bug fixes. If lots of minor bugs pop up after beta-testing (and they will- nobody's perfect, and nobody will completely know how to work with the editor), I'm sure everyone would appreciate it if these bugs had means by which to be fixed in a timely manner.

This should go without saying, but in light of the treatment BoE has been receiving (which saddens me- I can't be the only one still actively working with BoE), it has to be said. I want Spidweb to either actively keep its scenario tables, or I want custody of the scenario tables in the hands of the community and linked to by Spidweb therein. I understand that you have lots of time constraints- this is perfectly understandable. If so, then hand over the reigns to Brett+Alex like you should have done years ago.

Graphics are already taken care of by the community- props to Brett for the Louvre. CSR aside, I still see the merit in actually having a scenario review archive for more in-depth critiques, and that would be the responsibility of the community. Individual scenario sites will always exist (I know I'll be keeping up TMU when and if I switch to BoA), and individual graphics sites will always exist.

In essence, most of what I'm proposing still puts the workload on the community- the biggest difference from what I propose and the status quo, however, is that I at least want Spidweb to take some time to recognize and aid the achievements of its designers, graphic artists et cetera.

Maybe I'm blind and missed the other three threads that dealt with this topic, but I'm curious and don't feel like sifting through the whole forum, so I'll ask my questions here. If Jeff & co have already stated their positions on this, then would someone politely paraphrase/quote them? Anywho, the questions:

Q1) With the release of BoA scenarios, will you resume (or considering the lack right now, re-initiate) coverage of Blades of Exile? You know, what with updating new scenarios as they're released and some-forth.

Q2) Can we expect better coverage for BoA than BoE? Unless I'm mistaken, often complaints about the scenarios that are sent to you guys are often not relayed back to the designers.

Q3) Bug fixes. I understand that a certain ammount of consistency is always required and that massive overhauls can sometimes be impossible after the initial release, but Blades has many minor bugs (such as the Stairway-on-connecting-town bug, empties, the resetting 0,0 flag, etc). Will bugs like these be fixed post-release in BoA?

If I'm going to buy this product and potentiall design it, I'd like my money to be backed up by a degree of insurance that the company will take some participation in keeping it running, rather than leaving all of the burden to its userbase (though props to the BoE community et al for keeping it going through the years). Thanks.

You mean the Marlboros, Square's shot against cigarettes? Over here, Marlboro is a brand name of a popular cigarette. Thus, having a highly pollutative enemy that spews out gas be the name of a tobacco company is very environmentalist.
