Off Topic / Why do we want to save the rainforests?
« on: May 02, 2012, 07:31:28 PM »
Now, come on. Rainforests are filled with animals and insects that are just creepy and disgusting. Many of their plants can cause cancer and other fatal diseases. Sure, they provide oxygen to the earth. We can replant good soil and normal trees so it's not such an eyesore. We can take the plants that are medicine-y and grow them elsewhere.


But really, why would anyone want to save the rainforest?

Games / The Powder Toy
« on: April 09, 2012, 05:43:53 PM »
If you ever have looked up sandbox games, then you've probably found Powder Game. Well, if you've played that and liked it
then I'd like to just say
The Powder Toy puts it to shame. x20.

You can build large monuments out of brick or glass or, well, pretty much anything and blow them up. You can make nuclear reactors, cities, houses, and pixel art. Then you can publish and see other people's published creations.

Powder Toy News:
v74.2 is out.

Changelog:
Fix bug where Ice won't melt
Improve appearance of BCOL
Allow Walls to be used to protect PIPE

« on: March 08, 2012, 10:42:16 PM »
People in New Jersey are scary people.
So much, that instead of video chatting or calling them,
We send them a letter.
I will be sending this by mail to a random New Jersey address.
I won't include your post if:
It's only swears
It's only random words
It doesn't fit with the previous post
It doesn't use grammar/spelling at all.


I'll begin.

Dear New Jersian,
            How you doin'?

Forum Games / Highler Ridge :: Welcome to the City... Again
« on: February 17, 2012, 07:56:27 PM »


    Click on the header above to see a map of the city!



    ABOUT THE GAME Highler Ridge is known worldwide for its infamous name in crime and the corruption of its police and general law enforcement. The roleplay itself is a modern-day version of it, it's almost like real life. You live in a thriving metropolis, yet you need to keep yourself alive and well just as you would in the real world - collect vehicles to move around, apartments, condos, or save some cash and live in a car or hotel jump. The only way you seem to be able to get the best bang for your buck is to get involved with the thriving crime that goes on beneath the busy overhead of the city. It was risky at first, but you got through the initial test and have come out to prove you're perfectly able to do any task - or so you hope. Think of this as an intense game of cops-n-robbers. By the way, I'm sorry if the wall of info is overwhelming. But, believe me, it's all useful.

    Prepare to make your profile and put your character in a vulnerable position a large number of times. Various deliveries of illegal items, smuggling, police pursuits, burglaries and robbing will be taking place as a normal activity daily and it's your job to complete the job as the boss has requested, or you can kiss your paycheck goodbye. Play undercover at parts, to get inside of all of the systems and complete your task. When the clock winds down and that paycheck is in your hands, it's all worth while.



    BACKSTORY So the place you're from; you haven't revealed it to anyone, and you don't plan to. Perhaps later on you can spill the beans, but as of now, it doesn't appear smart. Your gut tells you not to, but you don't know why - you have the legal papers to prove you are supposed be here, exactly where you are, and yet the fear is overtaking you. Some of your family members have been slowly coming to the country, the country where anything is possible. When you reflect, you feel slightly guilty - in the place where anything could be done, you get eaten up by the world of crime. But you remember you can make a quick dollar easily and doing things you've done before, and you live on. At the moment, you're running around the metro with your assigned car, working for the popular taxi firm that keeps the city on its wheels. Aside from the small tax the company, Highler Ridge Taxi, skims off the top, you keep most of the profits and all of the tips, so driving nicely and to your customer's wants is critical. Be careful or you'll lose a lot of profit and lose your tip as well!



    THE CITY The city is large - it is a metropolis, after all - and divided amongst a small series of five islands, or that's how many you've counted from the various conversations you've been involved in with some of your family in the area.

    • Bright Annex, the part of town you should probably stay in if you're new around here. A lot of suburban homes are here, and the building height is kept around three or four stories. The work is easy here, steal a few cars or pick up a package, and the cops are too busy in the other parts of the city. The people are mild and the bosses are as well, an ideal place to begin.
    • South Bint is a bit of a mystery, especially its name - there isn't even a North Bint. It's a smaller island, and is pretty similar to the Bright Annex area, but with more cops and more jobs. The Braxton International is here, as well, being the largest and busiest airport in the North. Airport security doesn't take any stuff from anyone, and there's no corruption - it wouldn't be wise to get funny.
    • Kelton; you don't know much at all about this area, but it's supposedly the fancy part of the city, full of nice houses, skyscrapers and sports cars. You've talked about going over there with your cousin once, but he seems afraid of the area - perhaps its the mafia bosses and other people of such status that look like they'll shoot you on the spot if they see you. Maybe once you have some experience.
    • Goodyear is pretty much the business area of the city, filled to the max of skyscrapers and taxis. With so many people here, it can be good for you and your wallet, but the population can kill you in a second as well, especially when the police are around. Be alarmed!
    • Wallack is the industrial. Whenever you steal a car, this is probably where you should take it to either sell it for a quick buck or deliver it to one of the hundreds of garages. A shootout here would be a catastrophe, with all of the flammables and opportunities to blow stuff up. The cab dispatch office is also located here in Wallack.
    • Nordston is an industrial island. Mostly just warehouses, it's a great place to smuggle things, such as counterfeit or illegal items. Like Wallack, you should be careful where you shoot. The Jane Co. Shipment of counterfeit jeans also comes from Nordston to Wallack every other day.



      YOUR CHARACTER Fill out a short character sheet and then start your work - you'll never be bored. You can begin with taxiing, being a normal guy who just snapped, said forget it and went to crime, or you can just be nothing and wanted to do something.



      Name: What's your name?
      Status: Wounded? Healed? Shot? How're you?
      Inventory: What do you have on you? You're limited to carrying four items at a time, no matter what. Your gun and it's ammo counts as a single item, though, so it's not so bad! You can set up a bank account with me if you want - everything will be kept on file. Consider it your social security box where you can store anything for however long, you just have to keep up with your monthly bill.
      Karma: Your Karma ranges from -100, being a total starfish (but also means you have bad luck!) to 100, being the nicest person in the world (which might be hard, in the world of crime). It should effect your loot and general luck. You start with 0 Karma. Karma can be lost by stealing a cop car, and then regained by taking care of a crime found on the computer.
      Location: An obvious field, however, note you have to stay on one of the five islands at all times.
      Objective: What're you supposed to be doing? Stealing a cop car? Delivering a stash of AK47s?
      Cash: How much dough you got?
      Gained: What did you gain in your post?
      Lost: What did you lose in your post?


      With every post you make, keep us informed with reposting your character sheet. Add a Lost and Gained field and keep it updated as well.

      You are free to bounce off of others' posts, unless they add "Please do not bounce off my post" at the top of it.



      PEOPLE Some of the people in Highler Ridge are of a notable status. Those people include
      • Martin Gherone (Deceased) was a conman in Highler Ridge and CEO of Ceranine Technologies. He was some of the worst scum in all of Highler Ridge, which is a pretty bad status considering that it's the crime capital of the world.
      • Jane Kenner owns a counterfeit jean warehouse in Nordston. (Yes, her name is a coincidence.) She is heavily guarded and it would not be a good idea to get wise with her.
      • Fredrick Union Probably the wealthiest man in Highler Ridge and CEO of the Capital Union Building, the tallest building in Goodyear.


      PLACES There are places in Highler Ridge that have a good amount of importance and can help you begin. They include
      • Jitters, a coffee shop chain."Sells the best coffee in Highler Ridge!"
      • The Capital Union Building, the highest building in Goodyear where the ever-so-clever CEO Fredrick Union resides. He can even seem to smell murder from a mile away.
      • Braxton International, located in South Bint, is the largest and busiest airport in the North.
      • Jane Co. Counterfeit is located in Nordston and has a line of counterfeit jeans coming from there to Wallack every other day. You've seen their counterfeit jeans in stores everywhere. Jane Kenner isn't someone to get wise with, though. She has about 400 men, not including her freighters and jean designers.
    • Ceranine Technologies is owned by Martin Gherome's bastard son, David Dalessio who is almost no less, if not worse scum than Martin.


    That's pretty much it! To give you some suggestions, some things you can begin with;
    • Carjacking
    • Robberies
    • Burglaries
    • Taxiing
    • Collecting
    • Selling
    • Police pursuit


    If you have any suggestions, feel free to step forward. I'm very open!



    ABOUT I would like to clear some things up.
    Yes, this is a revived topic.
    Yes, I have permission from the original author, Caution.
    No, I won't let it die out.
    If you would like to see the original Highler Ridge to get ideas or something like that, you can find it here.
    Of course, since this is fan-restarted, I may chime in with my own. Don't feel offended.

    Thank-you.[/list]

    Clan Discussion / [GM] The 'Got Milk?' Clan
    « on: June 24, 2011, 12:32:16 AM »

    A clan about building and eventing some really awesome stuff.
    Do you think you've got what it takes to join? Well, unless you've got some really awesome building and/or eventing skills, no, you don't.
    Members
    Devo- The awesome leader.
    Seiber- The co-leader. Awesome.
    Jerky- The other co-leader. Also awesome.
    Tesla- Concept Developer Makes up ideas for clan builds.
    Seiber- Builder and Eventer.
    RelliK- An admin.
    Jake White- Awesome builder and pixel art-er.
    Dove- In charge of allowing people in, because i'm too nice. [Deceased.]
    Limey- He works for me.
    Themosticles- A good fellow. A jolly chap.
    How to get in
    If you want to join, you need to have either an (atleast) 2,500 brick build, or a 40-line event. Or, as a compromise, a 1250-brick build with a 20-line event. And we'll try to keep the ID's under 30k, with exceptions.
    Blacklist
    LT. GUNNER- Trying to give me a stolen build as an app.
    TikanX/Tikan- Although I doubt he'd want to be in, he used to be my best admin, but then dramatically left.

    Expectations
    If you enter, you are expected to join in on clan builds and come at least once a month. If you do not do either of these, you will be kicked, and you will have to give me a new build/event to join. So I don't recommend it.
    Projects
    Theater: 100% Done.
    Super Duper Mart: 48% Done.
    Crystal Hall: 100%

    Gallery
    Pictures to be posted soon. Keep your pants on, please.

    Drama / Tikan. The Drama of a Super Admin gone wrong.
    « on: April 14, 2011, 08:22:47 PM »
    Lately, one of my Super Admins quit my server, saying I was a "fool when it came to running a server". because I was letting my real-life friends and people who helped the server be an admin. (Madness level: Pissed off.) After a few days, I thought I would say hi, but he figured I was trying to get him to come back. "Its obvious your trying to get me to come back to your server". Obviously, I wasn't. I was just saying hi and telling him what was going on on the server. "I could care less about whats going on on your server". I told him that I was going to ignore him, then he said "Good." "Lol." So, then I called him a bitch. As he was being. "Okay I know that your 11 so you may not know what quitting is..." was some of his bitchy-ness. Honestly, if he did come back to my server, I would've banned him. So thats the story of how the Super Admin, that's been on my server for a year, decided to quit and be a complete bitch. If he were a car, he'd be a Geo Metro. :3
