General Discussion / Re: What do you hope the next theme build at Badspot's is?

« on: March 23, 2010, 04:47:49 AM »

The difficulty in picking the themes is you have to make sure it's something that all players can understand and contribute towards. You've also got to make sure you give the theme enough room for decent improvisation and customisation within each "plot of land" without compromising the cohesion of all the builds.

We tend to stick with terrain builds because it gives an easy template to follow with the objective of making your plot fit in with those next to it, while also leaving you with lots of space to do something interesting to differentiate your work from everyone else.

I think another event exhibition would be a good idea, though. We haven't done one for a while.

Haha. See, over here in the UK it is literally a joke. You guys are in some weird bubble where you don't seem to understand how truly messed up Fox News is.

Even if you are right, you don't need to be a douche about it.

a) You have no arguments to back up your ridiculous crap about socialist agendas and Obama being a national socialist.

No I didn't. I added auto-ratings on Saturday the 20th and Saturday the 20th is the first time the number of auto-ratings went above zero.

Hopefully your new feature will increase the amount of ratings.

It appears to be already:

102 ratings in a single day is the most we've had in the past 2 months.

Although I'd rather not argue with you, anyone can lie over the internet.

It was obviously a case of mistaken identity ... Chrono used the guy's avatar (and it's pretty common to identify people by avatars) and he just sent the private message to Chrono by mistake. Unless he thought it would be an "epic troll" to send a message to the wrong guy ON PURPOSE!

The drama forum is not intended to be a place for people to lambast random forum members for everyone else's enjoyment. It originally served as a place to move particularly dramatic threads but has turned into some sort of Colosseum to watch people try to reduce kids to tears over the internet.

If drama was solved everytime someone said they were sorry, alot of drama threads would be a stuffload shorter.

Well we simply can't have that, can we?

It only started because he private messaged the wrong guy by accident. How can that possibly warrant a drama thread?

First day in The People's Democratic Socialist Republic of America under the guidance of Supreme Glorious Leader Obama, Protector and Defender of the Free World, is going pretty well. One tiny problem though. I noticed a distinct lack of socialism anywhere. I tried walking out of a walmart with a TV. Can you believe the nerve of store security? They asked me if I was going to pay for that.

When I informed them that we live in a socialist nation where everything belongs to the people, so the TV was clearly mine, they seemed non-plussed. I guess they missed the memo. I don't argue with cops but I informed them my lawyer would be hearing about this.

Wedge it's so disappointing that your genuinely witty and satirical posts go over the heads of most forum members so I want to let you know that they are greatly appreciated by those who can comprehend their meaning. Good show!

All a user's preferences are stored in config/client/prefs.cs so have a look in there for the pref to use.

But the positives will soon turn to negatives.

Because Glenn Beck says so? Come up with some evidence or proof atleast. Don't just sit there being pessimistic. Republicans would happily engineer America to fail just so they could attribute it to the democrats' healthcare bill.

lol.

I really didn't know about this until I went on /b/ last night, seeing all the butthurt 'HEALTHCARE BILL PASSED :CCCCCCCCCC' threads.

Nice. You must feel real special that you need to read about headline news on an image board for juvenile delinquents.
