Hmmmmm..... Since you offered I might join ChaNES after my exams are finished, at the week-end. Will have to read over the rules and stuff first though but it looks quite interesting from my quick look at the thread.

I'm flattered to hear it. My NES is somewhat of a maverick (most Sci-Fi NESes crash and burn spectacularly, and I have a few unconventional plans for later in the storyline of Pinmanesque proportions), and I'd hope that it makes a fine standalone experience for anyone who's interested in it, but I also hope that it can act as a "gateway" to NES'ing for some of the excellent gamers in this forum. After all, if you dislike their community, the best way to change it is from the inside.

Anyway, the deadline for this turn's orders is Friday, so if you join during the weekend, you'll probably only be able to send orders for the next turn. I could make an exception if you think you could send in orders during the weekend, but that's up to you.

Well Chand, I won't quote your post (because it's rather long), but I have to agree with most of it. btw, I've been paying particular attention to your game as of late, and I was just waiting for the new thread...

About Symph (since you named him) : He is special in many ways. First of all, of what I've seen of him, I hold him in high esteem for his dedication and imagination. Clearly this guy must be an hell of an amazing GM in a table top RPG. BUT, since he is so clearly above all of us, many of his posts make me cringe. A little bit of humility would go a long way to make him a perfect player.

So Symph, if you're reading this : Join a NotW and show us what you can do.

And also for the record, When I talked about NotW XXV : Armageddon in the NotW info thread, what I had in mind was a crossover NES-FG game. But first I need a NES rep, and this is where you (Chand) come into play... So, when is PreChaNES going to evolve in ChaNES ?

And to get back on topic : 40 players is unrealistic if we only recruit here, so it's not a question of 'must we advertise ?', it's 'where do we advertise ?' : And the NES forum is the perfect place.

@Chand: I will most likely have time to write orders on friday. What time is the deadline? I have an exam in the morning but Im free after that.

Hey, I was actually having that idea as well. There can be only one! We may have different concepts in mind for "crossover," though, so I'm eager to see what your product is. Consider mine a non-canon game set in virtually the same universe - I reserve the right to use a few minor tweaks to keep it interesting.

But first I need a NES rep, and this is where you (Chand) come into play... So, when is PreChaNES going to evolve in ChaNES ?

I'd say that Pre-ChaNES is going to end near the end of the summer, and I'll have a short break from NES'ing to run my forum game before starting ChaNES proper.

I agree.

Oh, I don't usually set a time of day for the deadline. I'm quite easy when it comes to such things.

I'm fine with advertising in the NES thread. I know there are a few elitist over that think we're scum, I know I engaged in light arguments with a few. But those people wouldn't be interested in coming over here and trying out our games.

I'm also fine with them copying some of our things, I see it we're cross influencing with each other, I mean we got RFMK off of them so what if they have DYON. We may end up with similar games on both sides but I feel that over here it's all about fun, while over there it's about strategy and rules, which I don't see this changing any time soon. So if the NES'ers want a break from all the rules I'll welcome them here as longs they don't preach to us or complain about the post count.

Just my two-cents.

 

[choxorn]

The reason we don't like DYON is that they don't like RfMK.

Plus, thanks to a certain three mega-spammers, DYON turned to crap.

I didn't mean to start a Forum Games VS NES hate-fest fiasco (although most people who replied were most civil about it), I apologize.

Chandrasekhar I realize you are an avid NESer and you as you must know by now are one of the people I respect most on these forums. Not because you're a great game moderator or because you're intelligent, or because you put effort into making the forums a better place. You do all these things but the thing I most respect you for is indeed as Izipo pointed out, your humility, your lack of a need to trod upon the average player instead choosing to bring the best out in them. I know this because I was once the 'new guy'. I can tell you right now if it wasn't for Snakes and Foxes I probably wouldn't have stuck around here very long and then I wouldn't have met a huge cast of amazing people. I won't mention names because I'll surely forget someone deserving but you know who you are.

This place we have here, Forum Games, this is our place, this is a part of 'us' if you will. A motley crew of extraordinary individuals. And for a moment I forgot myself in the fearful thought that things might come crashing down around our ears. Chandrasekhar if I have learned anything from you it is that the open hand will achieve more than the closed fist ever will. I plan to adopt this outlook from this point forward. I say to you fine people, let us endeavor to continue to be an extraordinary place.

 

[LightFang]

Plus, if I recall Girly Man got killed - to death.

Oh, but I refuse to advertise in the "While We Wait" thread. I just don't like advertising much. You'll have to excuse me, but I tend to use myself as a benchmark for things, and I tend to get annoyed when people advertise myself.

Edit: I just wanted to add, DYON was started by Nuclear kid [sic] whom I will say without any regrets is not exactly the brightest person ever. His NESes tend to have a history of being poorly thought out and pretty unrealistic.

 

[Catharsis]

Man, I missed a NES-discussion. Anyway, Tolis, you've put scungebian on the list of players without teams as well as in team 4, which might be a bit confusing.

Spoiler vulgar advertising-related stuff - it ain't pretty :

As far as advertising goes, the only place I'm relatively active in apart from here and Off-Topic (No.) is CivUnited, and that only has about 5 active members at the moment (one of which is taillesskangaru, who is already here) so I'll be no help. The NES forum would be a good place, but I don't really see why they'd come here: they've got it good over there now that they've got their Other Games forum.

 

[Niklas]

I'm active in both FGs and NESes, and any generalizations regarding the denizens of either is simply silly. There are NESers I wouldn't want in any games I play, just like there are FGers I don't want anywhere near me (who luckily stay away from the games here that I enjoy, for the most part). There are also really good people on both sides, and some of the best are active in both.

I might ask a few people from there to get over here. Some might even listen.

 

[Renata]

I'll join team 1 if they'll have me.

 

[Terrance888]

Times' up for me today: interested.

 

[merciary]

Like I said earlier I'm fine with bringing other people in as long they act civil and treat everyone with respect.

In other news, if anyone noticed my temporary disappearance (doubt it), I just got back from an Iron Maiden concert. Which afterwards has made everything seem dull and boring in comparison. Just felt like sharing

 

[Methos]

I just got back from an Iron Maiden concert.

They're still performing! I haven't heard from them since I was in school. Now, how many people here have ever heard of them?

 

[merciary]

Yeah and they're planning on making a new album soon. I can't wait!

 

[Izipo]

Now, how many people here have ever heard of them?

I do, still have their albums somewhere and 'Rhyme of the ancient mariner' is in my playlist. Had their posters in my room when I was a teenager.

So, if they're still playing, I'm not that old, am I ?
{but this is news, I thought they were long gone}

 

[merciary]

Iron Maiden Can't Be Stopped!!!
(I wonder how many get this)

 

[Terrance888]

Shadow dancer

 

[Rogueknight]

I am intrigued by the Risk-Breaker. I have no idea what it could be, and thus secrecy may be my best weapon

I shall join Team Number 1 as well if the slot is still free, as Catharsis is bound to come up with something awesome, Kol.7 is like a supersleuth, taillesskangaru i've seen in previous games and should be a good ally and Renata, its a pleasure to meet you.

Good to see you all again. Thanks for the PM Tolis.

I will however, be making it my goal to systematically kill party 8 one by one, as they are far too organised. Whichever of you is leader is going first
