Student of Trinity recently renewed the suggestion that the Richard White Games forum should be moved to the bottom of the dog pile, to sit and sulk in stony silence at the blistery buttock of the so on and so forth. This poll is to guage the opinion of the Cult Community on this matter, though there are no guarantees that voting will make the slighest bit of difference one way or the other.

Yes. Richard White is a bottom dweller, so his forum should be also. I appreciate your option of not letting people see the results until the end, Icshi. Now people will not be hoodwinked into copying others. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. :ph34r: Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

Personally, I think this forum should stay where it is. I mean, look at the posting acitvity on the SubTerra forum compared to that of this one. Obviously the Richard White Games are more popular then SubTerra. However, as a Windows user, I don't really know much about these games, so for all I know SubTerra could be superior to The Richard White games by leaps and bounds. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

Mostly we figure that RW speaks through Icshi, I guess. Also, to answer the topic: Take a look at the name "SubTerra". "Sub"... "Terra". "Sub" means "Under, beneath, below", as in "Subterranean" (underground), "Submarine" (underwater), "Substandard" (below standard), "Sublime" (beneath lime) and "subtle" (below tle). It is obvious where the forum belongs - below all the other boards. Keep things as they are now. Or is that forum named "Above RWG"? No, it is named "SubTerra". I hope I have made myself clear.

It is only Terra, or Earth, that SubTerra is sub, or under. RWG surely represents a profundity of deepness far more deeply profound than the merely earthly, and thus warrants the bottom place. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

Richard White lies deep below the surface (Rock Solid) and far into the heavens (Galactic Core). His way takes us over the oceans (Ocean Bound) and even beyond death (Lost Souls). If anything, RWG belongs at the top. —Alorael, who is feeling a very strong urge to initiate an ever-moving forum. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

This might be accomplished by having the forum id be a function of the current time in seconds, mod 20 (the current number of boards). There might be a problem with primary key collisions, but RWG will obviously overrule any forum that may currently share its number. Another side-effect of this would be that the posts and topics would obviously *not* move, being that they are solidly within forum 13. New topics started and posts made while RWG resides elsewhere will, however, be left where they are posted. In short, it will not be RWG that moves, but rather every forum that takes second-long turns at being RWG. Now tell me, wouldn't that be cool? Of course, you'd have to time your posts quite accurately, but then nobody ever said the Path of White would be easy to follow. :) [ Tuesday, February 21, 2006 00:54: Message edited by: Arancaytar the Grey ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

This is completely unfair. Someone should make Richard White's games for windows. We're missing a lot of hating towards them; I can't join the cult because I cannot hate Galactic Core as much as it is required, or homeland. It’s so depressing Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |

If your implants are in right, you don't have to see to believe. You just know. You can feel the horrors of Galactic Core in your very soul without ever encountering it in a physical sense. —Alorael, who can assure you that GC2 will run on every platform known to man, some that are not and should never be known to man, and may sometimes even spontaneously begin to run in your mind, where you will have no relief from the complete RW experience.

I envision something like this, only as the entire GUI. —Alorael, who could see the benefits of an operating system that makes you do what it wants rather than vice versa. Except that technique has probably already been patented. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

That was weird. I tried to vote in the poll, only to find that it was closed. So then I went down to read the posts and found that I've already posted in this thread. Then I look at the dates and see that Aran actually just revived it and I don't remember it. So. Anyway. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |
