Great work my fellow comrades. We have already achieved success. As you can see by topic starters, Khushrenada is now #1. It is only a matter of time until the rest of the stats bow before me their rightful master.
Proof:
Of course, just achieveing the number one spot is not enough. Now we must make sure I hold onto it. So keep sending me your ideas and I will keep creating your threads. We're in this together.

Well, now that I've been shown the stat sheet, there's only one thing to do. Climb that leaderboard like there's no tomorrow. Let's face it. Someone is going to try it so it might as well be me. Someone we all trust and love. 
Yet, even with that on my side, some people still be hestitant to help out. Maybe they see this as an opportunity for forum glory as well. So, I can understand if you need a bit more convincing. The reason you should help me out is because of upstarts. You know, some new forum member shows up and sees the stats and feels the only way he can consider himself adequate is to start grabbing all the stats he can.
Well, I swear that I will do so a such a thorough job of putting a stranglehold on the stats that anyone who logs on and thinks of challenging them will be immediately disheartened by the incredible lengths they would have to go just to catch up to a fraction of one of my stats. (That shows how far ahead I'm thinking in this plan. I know my stats will be that huge.) And as a fellow NWR resident, I know how much we enjoy sticking it to the new users. So, this plan of mine perfectly meshes with all our other goals.
So, at this point, I can tell that you want to sign up for this right now. But wait, there's more. If you join in my quest64, I'll let you put "I'm a Khushrenada World Revolutionary Foot Soldier*" in your signiture.^ (Copyright pending). Yes, now everyone on the forums can see just how much you are doing to make them a better place for everyone. Since they will be in such high demand, I'm sure many people will want to compliment you on them and thus make you the center of attention you've always craved to be but been too slow to figure out how. Friends helping friends. It's what the KWR is all about.
Of course, now that I've discussed the glamour, it's time to talk about the dirty work. What can you do to aid in this worthy cause? Well, I think the first couple stats I want to go after are topics created and post count. Now this is good since they tie into one another. The more topics I create, the more posts I make also. And with the forums wiped clean, there's a whole new world of topics to be created and, wait for it, RE-CREATED. That's right. I'm going to start recreating all the topics that we once had to continue the discusiions from where they left off. Unfortunately, I didn't start many topics in the first place. That's where you the foot soldier comes in. If you created a topic or remember a topic created from the past, send it to me in a PM and I will start that thread again. Not so hard is it. This is going to be great. I just feel it.
So, just sign up below (Not all at once now, heh heh) and start letting me now what needs to be brought back. Even if you think of a new topic, tell me about and I will start the thread for you. And don't worry about your post count either. Just because I start the thread doesn't mean I'm going to steal your thought. You can still post anything else you want to add to the topic in my, I mean, our thread.

NWR Forums Discord / Yes! RABicle is back and Hot Topic is dead.
« on: February 10, 2008, 06:54:39 AM »
I knew there was something odd about the forums when I was visiting the past week. At first I thought it was just the name change to the funhouse. But after I got used to the name, I realized that wasn't it. There was still something else not quite right. As I stared at the funhouse background, I tried to figure out what was missing, why the forum index didn't seem quite right. And then it hit me. I was seeing Rabicle's name as a poster again. Welcome back. Though I'm not sure if it's Ty or really RAB at the moment. But time will tell.
Oh yeah, and the Hot Topic feature is gone. I guess that would have made things different also.

NWR Forums Discord / Dear staff (This IS a political discussion)
« on: February 06, 2008, 04:38:43 PM »
Why do you hate Picross? I demand that you change your policy on this situation and post a friend code thread for Picross. One of the greatest examples of online play available for the DS. I also think that instead of remaining quiet on the situation of Picross, you should be more open and comment on the game a lot more to give it more word of mouth. More people need to be playing this game to share their friend codes also.
In short, I believe change is neccesary. We need to change the friend code forum to include a topic for Picross friend codes. After all, there is nothing wrong with NWR that can't be fixed by NWR. (Well, maybe that isn't entirely true but it's rather inspiring.) As you may recall, I said during 9/11 that in order for NWR to move forward, it would need a forum to post friend codes for when a truly great online game came about. That time is now.
Read my lips, I really regret this choice of joke. I thought I might capitalize on the current political situation in the funhouse and took my post in this direction. But I realize now that it isn't funny and actually sucks. So, if you want to tell me off because of it, bring it on. Sadly, I just can't seem to stop. And now I fear that I will have lost my message of a request for a Picross friend code thread. Of course, I have nothing to fear but fear itself. I just can't stop the qoutes
Mr. Khushrenada, tear down this thread.

Hi-yo! That's a good burn.
Well, I'll just post my idea here instead of editing my message where it might be missed. Anyways, my idea isn't anything that revolutionary. I just thought it might be useful.
Basically, instead of posting the whole podcast as one package, you may want to also offer up sections of the podcast. What I mean is, have links to seperate parts of the podcast. So, there could be a link for the news section and the news section only. There could be a link for the mailbag. A link for the discussion on the forums. A link for this new segment for anyone that Ty has come up with.
I know that at first it may seem like a lot of work and I'll admit, I'm not speaking from experience here. I've never had to edit a podcast before. But, the way I'm picturing it in my mind is that instead of having to put the whole podcast together in one setting, you can assemble each segment at a time and then when all the segments are complete, compile them together into the whole podcast that has been the standard since it's inception for those who prefer to listen to it all at once.
The reason why I think it would be useful is for a few reasons. One, there is often a worry about the length of the podcast. Is it too long or too short? How much do people want to listen to? By dividing up the segments, if people want to skip a section of the podcast or choose what parts they want to listen to, it makes it much easier. This way, length of the podcast really doesn't matter anymore. If someone doesn't have time to listen to it all in one setting, they can pick up where they left off more easily than before where (at least for me) you have to wait for the whole podcast to reload and then try and repostion the meter to where you left off. Sometimes, a person might forget about it and never bother to listen to what else was discussed.
What I'm describing also plays into my second point. Maybe there is something in the podcast people are talking about in the talkback section or there is a segment advertised in the write-up like Metroid preview or Brawl discussion. Maybe you only want to hear the part of the podcast. Well, now, instead of having to boot up a whole 80 minute podcast and try and search through it to find this discussion, you now have the sections listed and can easily find this topic or see what the fuss is about.
Third, it gives NWR a way to see what segments are popular and what isn't. Maybe. For this idea to work, you'd most likely need a hit counter of some kind to see how many times a segment is clicked. So, maybe when you look at the hitcounters, you notice that the news discussion has been clicked on way more than say the intro where people talk about what games they are currently playing. This helps gives NWR a bit more feedback on what is working and what isn't. Especially from lurkers who might listen to the podcast but never post their views on what they think is working and what could be improved. Maybe there is a section that people just don't care for. Maybe there is a section people can't get enough off and should be expanded on more.
And finally, this goes back to my idea of how I think a podcast is edited. If there is particular part of the podcast that seems to be full of technical difficulties, instead of delaying the whole podcast because of it, maybe other portions of the podcast can be posted so that people have something to listen to in the meantime and helps keep up a regular schedule for the podcast. Maybe editing duties can even be divided among people. You know, assign people certain portions of the podcast.
Anyways, that was just a suggestion I'd come up with after listening to a few odd podcasts here and there. I'll admit, I'm not a regular listener so I don't know how well this suggestion would be recieved by regular listeners. But, I know this feature would be useful to me. I no longer have the time I once had to sit on the internet for long periods of time and so to listen to a whole podcast is too much. Maybe this would open up more participation for podcasts also. Maybe a staff member would like to just participate in one particular section that matches his expertise or there's a topic being discussed this week and he would like to join in the participation but doesn't want to have to host a whole podcast.
Then again, maybe NWR was right not to hire me so as to not have to deal with crazy ideas like this one. But that's "Khushrenada's Krazy Idea of the Week." Tune in next week when I unveil my latest idea: Pirate Radio Trivia. That's where I just decide to host a trivia game in the chat section next Friday since no else does that anymore. There'll be no connection to Kontek since I have none of the programs for that. I'll just have to chat in the chat section with everyone else. Obviously, it will just be 30 trivia questions and no songs since that capability doesn't exist to me. Looks like I just revealed my whole idea. Now I'll have to think of another one for next week.
Ideas. I'm full of them. Some people say I'm full of other stuff too. Yet, for all the ideas I have, I can't think of one for how to end this post. Maybe I'll just hit reply and see what

Kairon has always been pretty good at this game. What I want to know is when Decoyman contacted me, he already had made allies with KashogiStogi and Kairon. So, did he just like people who's names start with K? Was he trying to make an alliance with the KKK? (Khushrenada, KashogiStogi and Kairon). These are serious questions that need to be answered before he wins the prize.
Oh. I guess it's too late for that.

Ha ha ha. Yeah. I don't think that would be a popular feature. But, here's a sneak preview of episode 1:
(Secret Episode 1 script)
Jonnyboy - And now we introduce Khushrenada with a new segment called "Mafia Tip of the Week". Mafia, of course, is a game that many of our forum regulars play. So, what do you have for us today?"
Khushrenada - Pro tip. ALWAYS trust Khushrenada. Back to you Jonny.
Jonnyboy - (Long pause followed by a disgusted sigh) We can edit this out right?
Svevan - Like it never happened. I'll just talk a bit more about how existentialism is becoming a prevalent theme in video games these days.
Jonnyboy - I've got to get Karl back.
However, on a more serious note, I do have a suggestion for the podcast that the staff may actually be interested in. I've been meaning to post it for awhile but now this gives me the excuse I've been looking for. Watch for this post to be edited later tonight.
EDIT: Changed my mind. Just posted my idea in a new post.

Nuts to that. I just typed up my reasons on what the MVP's did and the reasons to vote for them. I hit edit and get a computer error thereby losing my message. I'm not retyping that. Instead, I'm just going to say VOTE DECOYMAN FOR MVP. Yeah I know he got suckered by Kairon and that may have cost us a townie or two but he was the guy I trusted my information with the most, the man I designated to be my successor to lead the allaince when I died, and despite the mafia knowing his vigilante role, he still survived despite never getting protection. So, for putting himself in harm's way the whole game and never getting killed over it, I'm honored to vote for my friend Decoyman to recieve MVP honors.
While I appreciate the votes for MVP and am honored that the two top mafia members feel that I was the biggest reason to their loss, I would prefer if the prize went to someone else. I won the MVP honor last game and I think it should go to someone else this time around. People already want to kill me early for talking to much, past vendettas and because I'm a good player. I don't need jealousy added to the list by winning a prize every game. So, thanks to those who have voted for me but if you want to change your vote, I won't be offended. Getting another win is all the prize I need.
See you next game.

MVP Vote:
Pale
Decoyman
Khushrenada
Looking at the list of people eligable for MVP, I think these are the people most deserving. Like I said about the Wildcard vote, if we look at the people who affected this game the most, this would be the list of names. Nothing against the other people I left of the list but I don't think you can deny that those on this list all made impacts on what happened in the game. Moreover, I will make mention of 4 other people, Wandering, Toruresu, KashogiStogi and Arbok and mention why you may want to consider them MVP but what I think holds them back.
The purpose of all this is to give people an idea of how I think people played this game and a better insight for those who are unfamiliar with some of the details or were killed early. Yes, I know I listed myself and I know it may look conceited but I already have some MVP votes so I might as well explain what I did. Which I will. Tomorrow.
By the way, is there a deadline of when to vote for the MVP and Wildcard?

Wildcard vote:
Spak-Spang
ShyGuy
Kairon
Vudu
Stevey
Well, I think if we looked at this game of who most affected it, this would be the list of names. Nothing against the other people I left of the list but I don't think you can deny that those on the list all made impacts on what happened in the game.
That said, let's look at the ups and downs of each:
Shyguy - contacted me right away about a townie alliance and tried to get into the allaince by helping start it. It didn't pay off but it did help. When I asked for people to pm me about being investigated, Shyguy was the first person to do so. This led to me erronously assuming he had a townie role that he couldn't talk about. T-Rex maybe. Unfortunately, I did investigate him on day 2 and he came back as mafia. However, thatguy sent me a message right away stating that was an error and my investigation turned up nothing. However, I had laready told Decoyman about it. I let Decoyman know to disregard the message but suspicion probably started then. We formed two theories. One the mafia was setting me up by switching my investigation with a mafia member. This would cause me to vote out an innocent person and really ruin my credibility with the townies. Or two, the investigation wasn't an error and Shyguy asked to be investigated knowing the mafia would switch my result with someone else innocent. Due to mass confusion from the message Thatguy sent me about my investigation and becuase I didn't want to capitalize on the host's error and make him look bad (it's his first time), I just left Shyguy alone and didn't bother to work out what happened. Vudu definitly pointed out that Shyguy was playing dumb too much and if I was still in the game, I would have come after him at that point also.
So, bold play by asking to be investigated, tried to get into allaince, refused to tell role limiting his options, acted too dumb and got caught.
Kairon - according to a message I got from Decoyman, he said he had been in communication with Kairon and KashogiStogi before contacting me. So when the alliaince between Decoyman and myself started, Kairon was in due to his Decoyman connection. Although I wasn't sure about Kairon's allegiance, I had no real inkling at the time he was mafia. Plus, I was pretty sure Decoyman told me he had revealed his role to Kairon and Kashogi before talking to me. I figured the mafia would have put a hit on him fast if they knew the vigilante so that helped calm my fears about Kairon. Kairon also never spoke to me. That may have helped since I then left it up to Decoyman to contact him. Although, I did try to leave Decoyman a hint to realize I was trusting his opinion. I'll show that in a minute. Anyways, I'm sure he definitely learned some good info from that. Looking back, I'd say Kairon played the best of the mafia in that he had the lowest amount of suspicion on him and was able to infiltrate the townie allaince that way.
So, low suspicion, infiltrated townie allaince and learned important info, killed by T-Rex so no error on his part. Role reveal was a shocker to most.
Spak-Spang - This is an interesting case. I believe Spak came to me about joining the allaince and claimed to be a townie. But, I deleted the message and when I wanted to make a list of all I learned to Decoyman, I couldn't remember is Spak said he was a townie or not. So, I just sent Spak a message asking if he said he was a townie. But, as Spak told me, he thought I was on to him and thought he had told me he had a townie role. So, Spak sent me a message back saying he was Mrs. Wormwood. It was a total shock since I was just expecting to get back that he was a townie. But it was also a good play. To keep Susie on my side, I knew that Mrs. Wormwood and myself had to remain alive. Otherwise, if Susie could no longer win, who knew how she would react? Now that I knew who Mrs. Wormwood was, I could keep Spak relatively safe until he was the last mafia member. I let Decoyman know under the condition that he reveal the knowledge to no one. After my bargin plea to the mafia, I wasn't sure how people would respond to the knowledge I was holding back from revealing a mafia member to them. The only problem was this. I got killed that night. With me dead, Susie lost the win condition and so there was no need to keep from voting out Mrs. Wormwood. Might as well get rid of a known mafia member. That's not what happened but it's what I thought would happen and what I thought should happen. Of course, Spak still didn't last long after that but it was smart because the person I was looking for the most was Rosalyn and that's who he was. And now he had me on his side protecting him to keep Susie around.
So, used his power against me well, tricked me with an incorrect role and won me to his side, killed me, but ultimately revealed he was mafia which would have doomed him in the end.
Vudu - I was right to vote for Vudu at the start of the game. It was a tough vote as seen by my big apology but my instincts told me to put aside my emotion and vote him. But with Pale changing his vote and then Vudu contacting me, I let it slide. When I was killed, thatguy told me the roles. As soon as I learned Vudu was the T-Rex, all the clues became so obvious. He kept telling me that he thought Pale and Stevey were mafia. I knew they weren't so I kept wondering why he was targetting two townie roles. Was he trying to get info from me? Was he mafia hoping to get me to kill some powerful townies? I wasn't sure so I didn't talk to Vudu much and left him out of most of the loop. Once I learned he was the T-Rex, I laughed for a good minute at myself and this misunderstanding. Vudu wasn't trying to trick me. He was trying to lead me in the right direction to the townies I needed for protection. It was so obvious now. I also congratulate Vudu on sticking to the role as originally created. My only beef was when Decoyman declared you innocent of the role yet you talked yourself right back into suspicion. While you could have used the argument that it wouldn't make sense for you to put yourself back into suspicion if you were the T-Rex since you were declared above suspicion before, wouldn't the T-Rex want to have been kept out of suspicion? Ultimately, you just seemed to talk yourself into your death. I don't get it. I also don't understand why you would kill Calvin's mom and then try to lead me to those who would protect me. Maybe I'm still confused. Still, although I was right about a couple people, Crimm and Patchkid, you were the one ultimately responsible for how much of this game turned out.
So, led stevey in direction of mafia, left clues for everyone in case of death, tried to aid me, kept to the original role and refused to take the easy path despite having the chance, ultimately left himself exposed in the end.
Stevey - Didn't vote for me Day 1. I said that it must mean stevey wasn't mafia. I was right on that account but stevey was still dangerous. After the death of Calvin's mom, stevey contacted me realizing that he would sadly have to save me for the rest of the game. I actually didn't have much conversation with stevey. I asked him to check with the T-Rex so I could understand what the T-Rex was planning to do. I wanted to know if the T-Rex would hit the mafia. Specifically, Mrs. Wormwood because I wanted to convince the T-Rex to leave Mrs. Wormwood as the last mafia kill. Like I said earlier, if I lost Mrs. Wormwood, Stevey might stop protecting me to hit other people of his choosing and that could leave me vulnerable. Never did get any answer on that regard. In fact, I hardly got any communication from stevey at all. I didn't even know if he was protecting me on Day 3. Pale asked if I needed protection but since his role had already been exposed, I told him not to worry about. Day 3 ends with Suzie making a mafia hit and my death. I couldn't beleive that stevey didn't protect me. I soon learn that he did but Rosalyn switched the actions. Stevey then sends me an angry message complaining that I betrayed him and gave away his role. I told him I did no such thing and only told Decoyman his role so if anyone else knows he is Susie, it is Decoyman who told them. (Spak sent me a message also saying the switch of Decoyman and Stevey's actions was just a random guess that paid off.) I basically give stevey a pep talk telling him to never quit. Stevey never does die and is a major reason why so many mafia died.
So, was willing to withhold vendetta, did what he could to protect me, followed the T-Rex orders to kill mafia, never betrayed the townies, seemed to be defeated but then toughed it out and survived.
Looking at all the plus and minuses of the players, I'd say the wildcard vote should go to Vudu. As described, the other players all played well and everyone had some errors they committed. But with three mafia members known by the end of day 3, Spak admitting he was mafia but lying about the role and two mafia members killed at night, the mafia victory was pretty much ended. Plus, Vudu started to rally hard against Shyguy. While stevey did much to help the townies and speed the game along, he benefited greatly from Vudu's advice. Plus, Vudu survived a lot of votes against him during the day and still outlived the mafia members despite constantly having suspicion follow him. And I called him my nemesis so that has to count for something, right?
That said, I'm still going to VOTE STEVEY FOR WILDCARD. I know I think Vudu deserves it but I have to give Stevey the vote for personal reasons. I owe him from last game. He came to my aid this game and worked with me despite probably wishing he could backstab me at any time. He stuck with the townies even though he had officially lost and never betrayed the alliance. Here's to you stevey.
Spak-Spang
ShyGuy
Kairon
Vudu
Stevey
Well, I think if we looked at this game of who most affected it, this would be the list of names. Nothing against the other people I left of the list but I don't think you can deny that those on the list all made impacts on what happened in the game.
That said, let's look at the ups and downs of each:
Shyguy - contacted me right away about a townie alliance and tried to get into the allaince by helping start it. It didn't pay off but it did help. When I asked for people to pm me about being investigated, Shyguy was the first person to do so. This led to me erronously assuming he had a townie role that he couldn't talk about. T-Rex maybe. Unfortunately, I did investigate him on day 2 and he came back as mafia. However, thatguy sent me a message right away stating that was an error and my investigation turned up nothing. However, I had laready told Decoyman about it. I let Decoyman know to disregard the message but suspicion probably started then. We formed two theories. One the mafia was setting me up by switching my investigation with a mafia member. This would cause me to vote out an innocent person and really ruin my credibility with the townies. Or two, the investigation wasn't an error and Shyguy asked to be investigated knowing the mafia would switch my result with someone else innocent. Due to mass confusion from the message Thatguy sent me about my investigation and becuase I didn't want to capitalize on the host's error and make him look bad (it's his first time), I just left Shyguy alone and didn't bother to work out what happened. Vudu definitly pointed out that Shyguy was playing dumb too much and if I was still in the game, I would have come after him at that point also.
So, bold play by asking to be investigated, tried to get into allaince, refused to tell role limiting his options, acted too dumb and got caught.
Kairon - according to a message I got from Decoyman, he said he had been in communication with Kairon and KashogiStogi before contacting me. So when the alliaince between Decoyman and myself started, Kairon was in due to his Decoyman connection. Although I wasn't sure about Kairon's allegiance, I had no real inkling at the time he was mafia. Plus, I was pretty sure Decoyman told me he had revealed his role to Kairon and Kashogi before talking to me. I figured the mafia would have put a hit on him fast if they knew the vigilante so that helped calm my fears about Kairon. Kairon also never spoke to me. That may have helped since I then left it up to Decoyman to contact him. Although, I did try to leave Decoyman a hint to realize I was trusting his opinion. I'll show that in a minute. Anyways, I'm sure he definitely learned some good info from that. Looking back, I'd say Kairon played the best of the mafia in that he had the lowest amount of suspicion on him and was able to infiltrate the townie allaince that way.
So, low suspicion, infiltrated townie allaince and learned important info, killed by T-Rex so no error on his part. Role reveal was a shocker to most.
Spak-Spang - This is an interesting case. I believe Spak came to me about joining the allaince and claimed to be a townie. But, I deleted the message and when I wanted to make a list of all I learned to Decoyman, I couldn't remember is Spak said he was a townie or not. So, I just sent Spak a message asking if he said he was a townie. But, as Spak told me, he thought I was on to him and thought he had told me he had a townie role. So, Spak sent me a message back saying he was Mrs. Wormwood. It was a total shock since I was just expecting to get back that he was a townie. But it was also a good play. To keep Susie on my side, I knew that Mrs. Wormwood and myself had to remain alive. Otherwise, if Susie could no longer win, who knew how she would react? Now that I knew who Mrs. Wormwood was, I could keep Spak relatively safe until he was the last mafia member. I let Decoyman know under the condition that he reveal the knowledge to no one. After my bargin plea to the mafia, I wasn't sure how people would respond to the knowledge I was holding back from revealing a mafia member to them. The only problem was this.

I have to wait until tomorrow also. It seems Canada always has to wait an extra day after a game is released in the states. Looking forward to it though.

Oh, I'd heard about this. Apparently, the game was tied and in the final minute, Rick Nash scored this goal and won the game. The writer in the newspaper was saying it was most likely the goal of the year. Seeing it now, I have to agree. Phenomonal.
