Drama / Limpfittz: The beef thread.
« on: March 27, 2009, 12:44:09 AM »
I can't believe I'm doing this, knowing in advance that I'm probably going to catch stuff for this. I've seen one or two people speak up about this, so I'm going to go ahead and throw caution to the wind. It's quarter past midnight where I live. Why not, let's do this.
Limpfittz, simmer down.
Let me start out by saying you're a good dude and an okay builder, but you're doing this weird thing recently.
You catch a few good builds, and a mediocre one that noobs latch onto. Now, you're acting like you're the coolest thing since ice. What's up with the second clan guideline thing? You're just encouraging activity that we don't want here. Do you really believe that telling eight-year olds that there are already clans to join is going to discourage them from making their own? No, it doesn't.
The other clan guide is straight- It basically says don't make a clan if no one knows you. It almost tells you to not make a clan period.
And your template sucks.
When I made a clan, I used the other clan guidelines and I barely made it. The odds were wholly against me- I was coming into a saturated market, I wasn't the most liked member then, and the idea wasn't innovative. It wasn't accepted at first, but we opened up to the large majority of Blockland's fan base- the one's that aren't necessarily legendary builders and we found new life. That's what clans are about- not formatting.
A long long time ago I made a clan that had a good layout and a decent premise. It failed. Miserably. You see- Clans aren't about formatting and people knowing you- it's really about you knowing what you're doing. Who you want to reach, your model for how you want to conduct yourself as a body of friends, and that's something you can't teach someone.
Now let's get back to your ego- what's up?
You are looking like a second me.
Except with like a way cooler haircut and more Swedish-ness
I don't see why you're making a massive deal out of this 'live a life' rpg thing. It's not that great of a build, on your part anyway. You put down a very basic landscape and let everyone else build around you. I understand posting pictures, but I feel like you're making a big deal out of nothing...
Kind of like the Empire Tower?
Now, your building technique thread.
What is up with that?
You're teaching people to be generic in a new way, good job. What good is the skills you've taught people if they're just going to make it the same? I was thinking about making a building strategy thread, but then I realized, what good would that do for people? My strategy is get a general idea of a shape, rough out some of the defining elements, and then make it up as I go through the rest build. I've turned out some pretty good builds with that formula.
When I built the Sirrus Compound, it started out as the admin. tower, which I probably wouldn't have built an interior for. The Sirmu Tower as it was known when it was first started, was begun by looking at the Price Tower and getting inspiration for the basic form.
Then I decided to add a whole compound around the tower I built.
Now it's a default save in V11.
The point I'm trying to get around to is this: mellow out.
Let me close by saying you're a cool dude. You're not actually bad, and don't take this thread as an attack on you that's specifically malicious. As odd and possibly hypocritical this probably sounds, I'm trying to help.
I know these are all very discordant examples, and I don't blame you if you read this and just hate me more because this really made no sense. I wrote this well after midnight, and, yeah. I'm tired.

« on: March 27, 2009, 12:10:56 AM »<3 omnibarI've needed to google search something before, and it's completed a website that I've been to before, and I haven't found a way to smoothly get around it (I.E., on the Iphone, spelling suggestions will eventually go away if you ignore them and don't type or hit the little x next to them)
That's my only beef with the omnibar.

Alright, this formatting is getting batty.
When you say adblockers, I thought you meant pop-up blockers.

Chrome'll filter out bad sites with a very blatant 'this site might harm your computer' thing that you have to click 'okay, thanks chrome...' to keep browsing on it.

« on: March 26, 2009, 11:56:23 PM »My ircs with Chrome:Responses in bold.
- No ad-block plus Knowing google, it probably is built in. Or at least something similar.
- On firefox I can make it so I, say, click on a .torrent, it will automatically, without asking, open up the torrent in utorrent. I've yet to find that option in chrome. You can probably set it for windows to not ask what program to use, I don't know if this is a browser issue.
- slowness as more windows open. On my laptop this is a horrible thing. Not a problem for me :)
- Does not start in maximized I'm pretty sure it does for me.
- No WOT (Web of trust, very handy Add-on) Don't know what that is.
- home doesn't bring me to my router page :( K
- Downloads are not shown at the bottom of the screen for all tabs (This can be done with an add-on). You have to open a new browser page to view downloads. Ctrl+J, although I will admit it is annoying having to switch tabs to see how my dls are doing.
- no themes Chrome is pretty slick. There's no room really for any theme anywhere.

« on: March 26, 2009, 11:43:56 PM »All thatI actually love Chrome. I find most of the add-ons in Firefox to be annoying, because I used to have so many. However, I'm not even kidding when I say this, I could care less about themes and possibility for expansion in Chrome. It works, it looks nice, things just click better with me, it's pretty tight.
And one thing that's friggen sweet is that you can basically make a website into a program. Like I have a Gmail program on my desktop. You click on it, boom. Gmail, and nothing else.
Now, I don't really use this, because I find having everything in one spot is easier, but, yeah. Chrome is where it's at.

« on: March 26, 2009, 11:34:57 PM »Oh and Sirrus, I'm talking about being able to rotate the bricks on their x and z axes rather than just the y axis like you can do now, not just changing the images on the brick model.Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
Well, here's the documentation I did on removing stud textures for visual reasons.
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=59977.0
And as for the actual idea you were trying to convey, it would take some engine changes, that's for sure.
You could possible do something that shifted the brick's top texture to it's side, and then making it so that the game would recognize a brick placed next to a certain brick as a valid placement. Just a thought.

I use Chrome, but Safari is definitely better than IE.
IE is kind like what netscape or AOL was at the turn of the millennium.

Off Topic / Re: What a Horrible World
« on: March 26, 2009, 11:25:32 PM »ah as do i, and we totally derailed this topic eh?Yeah, getting back on topic.
I actually read the first post and don't think it's really conducive to the 'emo' characteristic, and doesn't exactly merit all the criticisms that have been cast on the dude. While it is a real song and he did destroy certain parts of it, it does, show light? I guess, I can't think of a better expression. It shows light of the aforementioned fact that there is terrible stuff that goes on in this world.
And this I can tolerate, to a certain extent. War is a terrible thing, and I guess what he wrote kind of makes you think about that. People can do some horrid stuff, and this edit of 'Wonderful World' kind of illustrates that.
Now, it could've been done better, that's for sure. I think the original and this guy's edit don't strike the exact chord. One doesn't illustrate that bad things, and therefore is optimistic, and one doesn't illustrate the good, and therefore is pessimistic.
I challenge the OP to write something that balances both elements of shocking beauty and genuine goodness and the terrible injustices that happen on the same planet.
