Hi Rotondo.

[LOL :D]

What i'm saying is that many of our forumers have been drama'd and/or banned for being idiots while they were new and came back more mature. A very good example is xC1130 or Eksi.

Hi. (even though i was never drama'd nor banned until i came back after i was a dumbass)

It is better for archiving data when sorted alphabetically. Compare the following:

DD/MM/YYYY alphabetically
15/02/2004
29/09/1902
30/05/1999

YYYY/MM/DD alphabetically
1984/12/01
2011/03/10
2012/05/22

Now imagine you have thousands of files using the first date format and for whatever reason you need to find it manually.

Also, the ISO standard for date formatting is YYYY-MM-DD, which has the same pros (date sorting and unambigous).

YYD___)YM=--<>^MD^MY
That middle M is the actual letter M.
Digits are placed in increasing order.
Today's date is 012___)20=--<>^M7^13
Most intuitive date formatting ever. I believe this should be the end of all debate on the subject.

So now we are back at the date debate?

[Acerblock]

Guys, just, WHY.

[Demian]

God damn it. Okay then.

When we get Greenlit do you think we will have a workshop? It would be great for popularity but what will it do for add-on quality? I personally prefer RTB but managing and updating the same add-on in two or three places is quite the task. I don't see any reason to have the workshop other than popularity, RTB does everything the workshop does but better. Of course there are those who prefer not to use RTB for some reason, they might support the workshop idea.

I'm guessing that you have to pay for Steam Workshop for your game though.
Getting it on Steam is cool and probably gives more potential buyers, however, Steam takes a bit of the sales.

Then if you also want Steam Workshop, i guess that might be a bit much, especially since we already have RTB, which is doing about the same thing.
So i am not sure if it would be a good idea.
However, i am just speculating.

[LOL :D]

So now we are back at the date debate?

Next person to bring it up should be banned.
Oh wait.
stuff, no, no, no!

I think that the thing that will give Blockland the most new people will be people on youtube that look at newly released games, like TotalBiscuit and Northernlion.

As i said before, it is pretty hard to review a sandbox game.

Minecraft, roblox and Garrysmod have reviews.

I think there are people who can give it a very good try.
Or can even do it justice.

There are many though who would look at it, see an empty slate, and not know what to do.
These people aren't likely to do videos of it, because they can't get anything to show if they don't do anything. And in a game like this, you can't criticise it for a lack of substance if you are literally staring at it and doing nothing, so making a video and saying how bad it is for laughs doesn't work.

[lordician]

Minecraft, roblox and Garrysmod have reviews.

Yeah but i don't think someone like TotalBiscuit or Northernlion reviewed those.
They look at different aspects of games.
Correct me if i am wrong, by all means, but as far as i know their kind of reviews wouldn't really work well with games like Blockland.

Of course there are some reviews of sandbox games like Minecraft, Roblox and Garrysmod, but not the way reviewers like TotalBiscuit review it.
Gah, i just can't seem to find the right words for it.

um, what?

"xC3110x" got banned because I tried to reference an image from Roblox, and a filter thought I was trying to spam one of those "ambassador" links. It was an automated thing, not because I was a total doofus.


but it would be a lie to say I was not a far worse doofus when I got here
