NWR Forums Discord / Wandering's free speech zone

« on: August 23, 2006, 09:22:06 PM »

Okay, here's the deal. Of course I can't allow you people to undermine my authority by badmouthing me or posting yaoi wherever you please. But, being the civil liberties-conscious dictator that I am, I can't just refuse you your freedom of speech. So, you can post stuff I don't approve of here. And nowhere else. Unless you want to get banned. Have fun!

NWR Forums Discord / for those who are confused....

« on: August 23, 2006, 08:09:25 PM »

Here's the story so far.

I create an account - "animecyberat" - which I use to immitate animecyberrat.

I contact the real rat via email and give him the username and password to the animecyberat account.

This displeases SUPER, who bans me. (I keep posting using one of my sparkling innovation accounts - "INeedToFinish")

This displeases Jonny, who, perhaps gone temporarily insane, hands the keys of the funhouse over to me and strips SUPER of his mod powers.

This (undoubtably) displeases SUPER, who has yet to make his next move.

Bill - long desiring mod powers - goes insane with jealousy.

King Admin saves the day

This is all just as surreal to me as it is to you.

Don't ask when the threads will be unlocked, or when SUPER is coming back, or when wandering is stepping down as lord of the funhouse. The answer to all of these questions is never. Deal with it.

Any questions? Didn't think so.

Legal Stuff (translated, with irrelevant sections ommited)
Cats tanks are not eligible. Should a cat tank (or "cattank") post, and should one year pass with no one else posting after, the last eligible person to have posted will be declared the winner. This is because I hate cat tanks and don't have to give you anything if I don't want to, so there.

I have remembrances of yours,
That I have longed long to re-deliver;
I pray you, now receive them.

Words of so sweet breath composed
As made the things more rich: their perfume lost,
Take these again; for to the noble mind
Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.
There, my lord.

Okay, so, I've proven beyond a reasonable doubt that my client couldn't have committed the murder. And I've shown that the person on the witness stand is almost certainly the killer. Why, then, do I need to prove (s)he had a motive...especially when, before, the judge was about to declare my client guilty, even though Edgey-boy never so much as hinted at a motive?

Nintendo Gaming / Nintendo doesn't listen to western devs after all (EGM Iwata/Miyamoto interview)

« on: June 24, 2006, 10:11:12 PM »

Forgive me if this was posted before, I'd never seen this interview before. Some highlights:

Quote
So we were able to put together a prototype, implement it in a gameplay demo, and we found out that this kind of control actually makes first-person shooters really fun with the aiming and pointing...but what do you do with movement? That's when we took advantage of the expansion port for the nunchaku configuration [where you plug in a second device connected by a cord]-that setup was proposed by the NCL [Nintendo Co., Ltd., Nintendo's name in Japan] producer of the Metroid Prime series.

So the nunchaku was proposed by an NCL producer, not Retro.

Also, Miymoto confirms Zelda will have WiiConnect24 functionality:

Quote
Shigeru Miyamoto: We do have a lot of ideas on how to use this...we are looking with Zelda at ways of using this functionality to add an element to Wii gameplay. To be honest, I don't have any more examples right now, but generally speaking, we have a lot of ideas around this concept of flowing information to the hardware whether it's asleep or awake and seeing communities build something around that...but nothing concrete right now.

And is Miyamoto hinting at the existance of a Wii phone?

Quote
Think about it this way: Everyone in the room probably has a cell phone, and even though you're not using it right now, it's sitting there in a waiting mode where it can receive calls and e-mail. We think that by taking advantage of this concept, we can bring some very interesting new ideas to gaming. Up until now, network gaming services have all offered the standard multiplayer experience brought online, where you battle against other players to test your skill. With our new functionality, we really think that we can change the types of things that you can do while online.

Quote
But the sound teams in particular were very passionate about having a speaker in the controller that could make noise.

You are probably familiar with Yoot Saito, who developed Seaman and recently Odama for the GameCube-he made mention that if it had a speaker you could have it ring like a phone...that sort of thing. And a lot of the development teams were excited about it, too. So after debating its cost and function, we decided to include it.

Super fast page loading. Built-in BitTorrent. Plus pages that actually load properly, no built in ads, mouse gestures, OS X-like widgets, the assumption that you actually use tabs instead of seperate windows, pop-up blocking, zoom, a list of the top ten sites you visit when you click on the address bar, and all that other nice stuff.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go use the $100 Opera just paid me to go and make sure the comparison in the thread title is accurate.

[Star Fox Mafia] Sign-up thread - ver. XI, approx. 300k

I’m planning on starting on the 6th, the first Monday in November. If this will pose a problem for you, please let me know. We will be playing over the weekend. Sign-ups close the night before the game begins, at midnight EST.

And now, without further ado, I present:

Star Fox Mafia

THE STORY SO FAR….

With the Lylat system at peace and no new missions forthcoming, the Star Fox team was taking a much needed break. Fox was relaxing on Sauria when he got a distress call from Slippy....

Slippy: Fox! The Inn has been taken over by Star Wolf and…..*krssh*

Fox quickly shared the news with the rest of the team, and General Peppy.

Falco: Geez, this guy can’t even go on vacation without getting into trouble.

Krystal: Fox, I’ve contacted the Lonely Hearts Inn where Slippy is staying – but they say everything is fine.

Fox: Sounds fishy to me….

Peppy: Me too, Fox! That’s why I’ve booked rooms in the Inn for you and your crew. Go over there and see what’s up!

Fox: Right!

Peppy: One more thing. If Star Wolf is there they’ll kill you on sight. You’ll need to go in disguise. Also, you can’t bring your blaster for some reason. Good luck, Fox!

And so Fox, Falco, and Krystal boarded the Great Fox and made their way to the Lonely Hearts Inn, a vacation satellite orbiting Cornaria. Soon after their arrival, the following message was sent:

"Report to General Peppy from Fox McCloud:

Outside communication has been cut off, but we finally managed to get a message through. We've made it to the Inn, and Slippy and everyone else is okay. But the situation is far worse than we thought - Star Wolf is being lead by Andross, and he's here on the satellite! To make matters worse, he's flooded the corridors with deadly gas. My team, every vacationer, and me are trapped in our individual rooms - the only places that are safe from the gas.

We're going to try and take care of Andross and Star Wolf - we know they're trapped in their rooms too, so it'll be a piece of cake for ROB to drop bombs on their locations. The only problem is - we've checked the guest list, and they aren't on it. Which means there are four traitors on board who are hiding and protecting the bad guys in their rooms, and we don't know who they are. We suspect that Andross has subjected these traitors, and maybe even Star Wolf, to some form of mind control.

It isn't all bad, though. Each room is equipped with a powerful Ultra 64 computer, and I can talk with everyone on the satellite over the Ultra 64 network. We've decided that everyone will vote on who the traitors are. Whoever the vacationers decide is a bad guy, will be blown up. It'll be tricky, because the traitors will be able to vote too, and Andross and Star Wolf will be able to monkey around with us as well. But it's our only option. I hope no innocent people are killed.

Fox Out."

THE ROLES….

Andross and Star Wolf taunt Fox and company by day, and kill by night.

Andross - BlackNMild. Kills one vacationer ever night. Has the power to make the traitor who is protecting him appear like an innocent vacationer to the investigator.
Wolf O' Donnel - Blackfootsteps.
Leon Powalski - Mario.
Panther Caroso - Mystic Gohan.

The traitors – Loyal to Andross, each one is hiding either Andross or a member of Star Wolf. If a traitor is voted out, both the traitor and the bad guy he is protecting dies.

If Andross dies, he gets to choose which member of Star Wolf will become the new leader. This person will be capable of killing, but not of making his protector appear innocent. His hold on his followers will not be as strong as Andross’s – if his fellow Star Wolf members, or the traitors, disagree with who he is planning on killing on any given night, they can choose to overrule him. If there are at least two traitors remaining, and every traitor sends in the name of an alternate target, that person will be killed instead. Similarly, if there are at least three members of Star Wolf remaining, the leader’s fellow Star Wolf members can also pick an alternate target (Star Wolf alternate targets trump traitor alternate targets.)

Fox McCloud - while better known as a fighter pilot, Fox is also a skilled investigator. He can determine the role of one person each night.

The Doctor - There is a Cornarian army doctor on board, identity unknown. He can protect one person every night.

And finally, there are the innocent vacationers.

Wolf: I may not know where you are, Fox. But we can still have fun. Let’s play hide and seek. You hide. We’ll kill one person a night until we find you. Ha ha!

THE RULES…

The Ultra 64 network is divided into three sections, or "threads":

-Open Channel: Discuss goings-on here.
-Voting Booth: Vote for who you suspect here.
-ROB's Updates: See the results of votes, who the bad guys have killed, etc., here.

Every day, you vote for who you suspect is loyal to Andross, in the "Voting Booth" thread. With the exception of Andross and members of Star Wolf, everyone can vote, including people with roles. Every night, the bad guys can kill one person, Fox can investigate one person, and the doctor can protect one person (via pms).

You can lie, claim whatever you want, and even reveal your role. However, you are not allowed to quote or show screenshots of pms. While alive, you must post in a mafia thread at least once every 2 days (except over the weekend.) While dead, you must not try to influence the outcome of the game in any way. (While there’s obviously no way of monitoring pms, please honor this rule. It’s important because the bad guys will often kill people to hush them up.)

To win, you have to stay alive. Apart from that, if you’re innocent, all of the Andross loyalists need to be voted out. If you’re not innocent, innocents need to be killed off until the number of innocents is equal to the number of Andross loyalists.

Before the game starts, you can choose to play as any character in the Star Fox universe, and I will pm you an appropriate avatar in addition to your role.

Andross: You’ll never guess who has betrayed you, Fox. You will die, just like your father did.

Here's some info about the characters, items, etc:


------------------------------------------Characters!------------------------------------------

Fox McCloud - a.k.a. Ugly McUglyface.



Kirby - He sucks.



Link - Wait, his name is Link? I always thought it was "Wandering".



Mario - ANOTHER game with Mario in it? When will Nintendo stop whoring him out?



Meta Knight - A knight who is particularly fond of meta humor.



Pikachu - Pika pika!



Mr. Sexy - I'd hate to pit myself against this guy.



Samus Aran - She likes to strip, and have fun with her whip.



Snake - Don't ask where he keeps the cardboard box he carries around with him.



Zelda



Wario - His farts are silent, but deadly.




------------------------------------------Items!------------------------------------------

The Cracker Launcher  - I hope shooting firecrackers at your enemies is as fun in the game as it is in real life.



The Gooey Bomb. "When you hit someone with it... It sticks to them! Get... GET IT OFF! Then it explodes! Oh, the horror!"



Nintendogs - Cuteness is a powerful weapon.



Pokeballs - They're exactly like Campbell's soup cans, except they're spherical. Oh, and they contain Pokemon instead of delicious soup.



The Smash Ball - This item allows you to perform a "final smash" - a super powerful attack that you can only use once per match. Smashing!



The Super Scope - You can fire it and move at the same time! This may be the biggest innovation in gaming since F.E.A.R. let you use a flashlight and a gun at the same time.
