While We Wait: Writer's Block & Other Lame Excuses

[christos200]

Ok. I have just created the ruleset. It will be about a Kung Fu tournament in Qing China, and it will also have to do with fights between Qing assassins and Ming rebels.

What the christ is Eminem doing in that GIF?

You know what, I think that is my new favourite gif ever. No idea in what situations I can use it in, but seriously, look at that. Thats beautiful.

I can think of many uses for it, and it truly is a masterpiece.

He was in the booth with Musberger and Herbstreit during the Wolverines-Domers game this weekend. It was hilariously awkward.

he was also probably blazed out of his mind

I think thats a given.

A mutual educator of myself and Double A just nominated me for NC Governor's School.

Congrats, man!

In case nobody noticed; I've recently started a GodNES and it's probably going to update Monday. Just for the ones interested that haven't made an application yet.

 

[Terrance888]

I approve of GodNES.

EDIT

For those interested, I'm running two lighthearted games right now. The first one, "SilliNES2", is a world building game currently focused on short snippets and world building events. The second one, "The Fortress", is a settlement building game in an cursed region of the Mountains. The second one will pick it's founding region in only 6 hours! Please join.

* Gauging (gaging? gouging?) interest for NESLive V revival alongside NESCraft: after discussion with NK recently, I've been thinking of doing it with very minimal graphics and focusing on the evolution mechanics. It saddens me that we don't have any active evolution games at present.

Also I approve the 8-bit Pacific Rim theme. It is rather awesome

 

[Symphony D.]

The odds of you continuing to run NESCraft, a NESLife, and a not-WWIINES, and devoting appropriate time to each such that they don't all die, are exactly zero percent historically speaking.

 

[Daftpanzer]

That is true. Not-WWIINES would only happen now in very reduced form; I think NESLifeV is one of those games that could be supported by very slow updates, so long as it does update occasionally.

 

[Tsoate]

It is a bit pot calling kettle black there Symp, looking through your thread history. Daft certainly seems to have had a lot of successes in the past compared.

Daft is well-known for bloating his project load and killing everything.

Way to fail to get the point and turn it into a personal attack, dude. Since you're so inclined: who the hell are you to talk, random newbie?

 

[Daftpanzer]

I am the prince of chaos, of NESing. Still managed to put out an update or two!

 

[Thlayli]

Daft has the right to mod whatever he wants to mod, whenever he wants to mod it, because >0 updates of something good are always better than 0 updates.

 

[Symphony D.]

Asserting things as if they're facts totally makes them true! There is not at all resentment at work wasted on a game that dies early on! Nope! None. Ever.

 

[Thlayli]

There's plenty of resentment when long-lived NESes die as well; arguably more, since players are more invested in the games that last longer and have put more work into them in aggregate. Does that mean we shouldn't have long-lasting NESes either?

I personally feel more resentful that SysNES II died than that azale's modern NES is probably dead, but the presence of that resentment does not make me wish that SysNES had never occurred.

 

[Symphony D.]

There is categorically no difference at all in starting something with the intent of it lasting indefinitely yet having it eventually fail for some reason or another, and starting something that obviously would overtax one's limited attention and resources and would inevitably cause its own demise and that of several other projects. These things are exactly the same. Project management of finite resources is a Capitalist Lie that can be overcome through sufficient willpower and belief in the Proletariat.

P.S. How's that CivIVNES?

 

[Thlayli]

Given that most of the NESes we're discussing have already "failed" and Daft is simply bringing them back, I'd say that he's the perfect person to manage multiple NESes, since the Modern NES has already inculcated tolerance of a long wait time.

I don't really want him to do NESLife, mind you, and I'd rather he focus on NESCraft and WWIINES, but I think forcing a very creative mod to work within the box of what we greedy players want runs the risk of making him want to moderate less overall. I don't think we should do that as a community.

P.S. How's that whining about personal attacks and then leveling personal attacks?
