May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please?
Will the real Badspot please stand up?
I repeat: Will the real Badspot please stand up?
We're gonna have a problem here..
Ya'll act like you never seen an admin before
Response pics on the topic like Blockman*,
like Tezuni* just posted a post
and started flaming their ass
worst than before
they first were banned
derailing the topic (Ahh!)
It's the return of the..
"Ah, wait, no way, you're kidding,
he didnt just post what I think he did,
did he?"
And Glass* posted... nothing you idiots
Glass* is banned, hes locked out the forums!
Newbies love Badspot chigga chigga chigga
"Badspot, I'm sick of him
Look at him, browsin' around lockin their dumb topics
moving their dumb topics,"
"Yeah but he's so cool though!"
Yeah, I probably got a couple of posts up in my forum loose
But no worse than what's goin on in your drama's subforum
Sometimes, I wanna shut down BL and just let loose, but can't
but it's cool for Greenlight to earn a fortune
"My post is on your topic,
My post is on your topic,
And if I'm lucky, you
just might use it in a quote"
And thats the message that
we deliver to little noobs
And we expect them not to
know what an ideologue is
Of course they gonna know
what an ideologue is
By the time they hit fourth post
They got google yahoo and bing don't they?
"We aint nothing but users.."
Well, some of us bruisers
who troll bait other people for laughters [HA!]
But if we can bump dead topics and subjects
Then there's no reason that a troll and another troll can't collide [EWW!]
But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
Noobs watch me go, sing the chorus and it goes
'Cause I'm Badspot,
yes I'm the real Badspot
All you other Badspots are just imitating
So won't the real Badspot please stand up?
please stand up?
please stand up?
'Cause I'm Badspot,
yes I'm the real Badspot
All you other Badspots are just imitating
So won't the real Badspot please stand up?
please stand up?
please stand up?

There's a few kinds of playable cards - Users, Add-Ons and Bricks.
Users
Information displayed on a user card are as follows: BL_ID, Name (or forum name if name changes often), Weapons, Effect, Class, and Brick Limit (if one is present).
Users have several classes - Host, SA, Admin, Normal, and Noob. SA and Host are among the top tier class of playable user cards. Only 3 hosts are permitted per deck.
The classes of user cards change the color of the card itself.
Host - Orange
SA - Yellow
Admin - Silver/Grey
Normal - Blue
Noob - Black
Add-Ons
Add-Ons are associated with events which display effects on the playing field. Played Add-Ons must be attached to a user in play before being used. All Add-On cards are green.
GameModes are not permitted Add-On cards - Gamemode is the term for a complete deck - a set of users, addons and bricks.
To execute an addon, it must be attached to a user before execution. An Add-On can have an effect on the user, or vice versa, some users forbidding attachment of certain add-ons.
Bricks/Builds
Bricks are considered parts of builds - they are attached to add-ons or users. A user can have many bricks attached to the card as it permits, some users having a brick limit.
Builds absorb damage, but they usually have requirements before attachment (may require some bricks being attached before the build is attached itself) and absorb a lot more damage.
All brick cards are red.
All build cards are purple.
Let's make the base star count as the yellow stars. Ex: *****
If you're a moderator, you can have a second layer of stars which are orange. *****
If you're an Admin, your star count will go to red over the orange, like so: *****
SA and Host would have the most health, which is a layer of green (The whole layer counts as one star, though.) Ex: *****
Reality check: I worked for garage games for a year. Kompressor was the Torque technologies director for like 5 years. We both think "upgrading" to Torque3D is a bad idea.
In light of it being requested on Android I have two things to say:
First and foremost, forget SAKE
Secondly:
Dear sir or madame,
If you are thinking about requesting that Blockland is ported to another system, such as the XBox 360/PS3, Wii, tablets or smartphones, or anything else which does not, generally speaking, use a mouse and keyboard, I would like you to take into consideration the following:
- Firstly, how is the game going to be controlled? Remember, you must take into account brick placement/movement, character movement, jumping, jetting, cycling tools, paints and brick selections, using the brick menu;
- Secondly, what barriers stand in the way of distribution to these platforms; is there a manufacturer-controlled "App" store (app is not a loving word but that's another maggot-ridden corpse in the vast, bloody lake of my rants), is Badspot still able to deploy updates via his own system, is there any revenue splitting or 'taxing' going on;
- Third and finally, can this version of TGE be ported to this other platform?
Now, if you are too dim to answer even one of these questions with a decent answer, do not post and probably go read a book or something, jesus. But out of mercy, I will answer one question for you; the answer to question number three is no. No code is interchangeable. Every single thing, from player movement, the entire server-client ghosting system and prediction, brick rendering, the UI and physics will have to be remade. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is a lot of effort, and Blockland only totes a userbase of some ~30,000 after several years. Even with some mainstream coverage I couldn't see that growing too much if it hasn't already.
Essentially, this means that to port Blockland to another platform, the entire game needs to be reconsidered not only from a technical but also from a user standpoint, ie how you will actually play the game. Then there's licensing of appropriate technology or time and expense to write your own plus the actual time taken to adapt to those tools and make the game itself, and modding would at best be taken to an entire different language and at worst not be included. It's never going to be worth it.
So next time you're thinking how awesome you expect Blockland would be on your Call of Duty SPECIAL EDITION XBox 360noscope, stop thinking immediately.

P.S. @garrynewman: Playing THPS2 on the iPhone is like trying to undo a bra with your feet
The point this illustrates is that even if you would like something on something else that doesn't mean it will work. My entire post in a tweet, basically.
P.P.S. If you do post, I hope you loving choke on it.
Listen up noobs, saving is here to stay. If you can't handle someone else playing with your build, grow the hell up.
If you start doing gay stuff to break my game, I'm going to start banning you from the master server. This is a war you don't want to start because I'm the only one with nukes.
It's a core feature of the game. This whole topic is as dumb as those javascript crap things that try to stop you from saving images in your browser. People like to save builds so they can look at them locally and play with them later, or maybe add on to them on their own server.
Just because a few 12 year old dorks like to claim credit for other people's work doesn't mean you should cripple the whole game. Just ignore those people.
There already is an option for this it's called "single player". But seriously no one gives a stuff about your stuffty builds so please just play the goddamn game the way it is or forget off and play something else.
This has been made impossible by design. I am prepared to update the game to defeat any efforts to make something like this. Go take your totalitarian power mongering to some other game.
No, I haven't seen your maze hitm4n. You haven't posted any screenshots and you don't seem to be hosting it anywhere (oh, if only it were loaded in some other people's servers!). You're so paranoid that you're becoming a hermit.
It's not a matter of me not respecting your wishes as a customer, it's a matter of respecting my customer base at large. Most of them are decent people who just want to go on servers and save builds so they can play with them. There are a few bad apples who will try to take credit but I'm not going to cripple the game just to slow them down a little.
Build something cool, post screenshots in the gallery, and all of the people who matter will know that you built it. The idiots won't know, but they're idiots - nothing that you or I can do will change that. You have to concentrate on making the experience better for the good players, not making it worse for the bad ones.

Now, I didn't get it at first about how they correlated together, so I tried 0. The end result was December 31st, 1969 at 06:00:00 AM (unsure if it means my time zone). Why that day? Why is it how many seconds since December 31st 1969?
