What to do to spice things up here?

IceDigger - Dec 22, 2004

		IceDigger	Dec 22, 2004
		Any suggestions on what to do to spice things up here? Any cool L.O.R.D. type games that you can think of that are being "activly" developed/finished that I can host under a couple hundred or preferably free? Suggestions are welcome.

		I used to love L.O.R.D. and Usurper, and one other BBS game that I can't remember the name of (it was a whole lot bigger than the other two, but still not really MUD-style). Anyway, I can't tolerate stuff like that anymore, I've been spoiled. I don't need good graphics, but I like having a decent display of what is around me, even if it is simple 2D graphics. In a related story, I just ordered World of Warcraft, that should keep me occupied for a couple of months. It's nothing special, but it's pretty fun, good world to explore too. I like having PvP being primarily faction-oriented. In other MMORPGs I walk around distrusting everyone, expecting to have to kill any one of them at any given point. In WOW, I know who the "bad guys" are.

		That one BBS game where you have to kill Barney is awesome. You should look into that. Also having an online Nethack type game (I'm sure there's a Java version or something) would be sweet.... some Infocom adventures would also be nice. Also, maybe ask around and see if people want to write some features/articles or something. Some hosted sites would be cool, as well. I'm working on a Shinobi shrine right now, for example.

		Nethack would be fun. As for hosting other video game sites no problem.

		How many people here play on Steam? If we have enough, and someone was willing to host games, we could get something going there.

		Not to mention internet porn. ... ... What???

		How about a dev contest with prizes? Seems like there's a couple of projects going on now.

Haven't we already tried having two of those?

Also, Dud, I don't think one damn Poll is gonna do much.

If you need polls, just come to me.

		Cloud (yep your always going to be Cloud): IIRC we only have had one dev contest, which I thought was successful enough. This was back in summer 03.

What the hell?

		link343	Dec 24, 2004
		Step Maina. You can make your own mix. This might be an insting project. But the rpg is good

Step Mania. You can make your own mix.

I know that.

I'm saying "What the hell?" to the idea as a whole.

		link343	Dec 24, 2004
		OK

		Cloud121	Dec 24, 2004
		Would you stop the one word posts as well? "OK" and you're constantly just posting "Cool." is really annoying.

		I'm sure that starting a fight isn't what Ice had in mind Rolf, so just relax.

		Cloud121	Dec 24, 2004
		Haha. Yeah yeah. Link just gets on my nerves a bit.
