The Hydlaa Plaza / Embarressing Moments
« on: May 09, 2004, 09:44:57 pm »
Every once in a while, I\'m sitting here, and the worst moment of my life pops into my head. So I\'m posting it. Maybe that will help.

I was at a Bar Mitzvah party. The dude was lighting candles, and having family light candles. Then he said, \"This candle is for [insignificant names], who couldn\'t be with us today.\" So I said, a bit too loudly, considering everyone else was reverently silent, \"Let\'s make fun of them while they\'re not here!\" It was dumb. Then someone decided then they could tell me that they aren\'t here, because they are dead. And one of them happened to be my good friend\'s sister. Now I thought they just couldn\'t show up or something. Why couldn\'t he say, \"I\'m lighting this candle for the dead dudes, [insignificant names].\" Dammit.

The Hydlaa Plaza / Favorite Song
« on: April 22, 2004, 04:32:59 pm »
This is where you post your favortie song. All my music is painfully stale, and if it\'s someone else\'s favorite song, it must be worth hearing.

Mine\'s Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen. You?

The Hydlaa Plaza / They're at it again
« on: March 28, 2004, 11:48:46 am »
I was on Yahoo, checking my stock in Apple, when I saw this: http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/040324/tech_microsoft_eu_21.html

As you can probably tell by my investment choice, I am not a big Microsoft fan. I think they consistantly fail to provide quality, care little about intellegent users, release buggy products, punch security holes in everything, blah blah blah. But this is ridiculous.

I look around each day and see all these small inconviniences the government causes, little laws, stupid things you can\'t do. But it\'s not that bad. On a corperate level, however, everything is different, it seems. What gives the Europeans the right to do this?


It sounds stupid enough when you are reading it, but think about this: Microsoft has released a competitive product, and therefore, they are violating anti-trust laws. Stupid. And being legally obligated to reveal their source code, for \"compatability purposes\", the most secret of trade secrets? They\'ve already been forced to give their competitors confidential information.

Look at this quote from another article:

Quote
RealNetworks Inc. (NasdaqNM:RNWK - News), which makes the digital media software at the heart of the EC\'s ruling, applauded the EC decision, with deputy general counsel Dave Stewart calling the decision \"fundamentally significant because the Commission has clearly ruled that Microsoft\'s strategy of bundling Windows Media Player into its software is illegal.\"


Yes. Of course it should be illegal to put your own software in your own operating system. Tomorrow it\'s going to be Pinball.

Only now does it occur to me that Microsoft used to be a great company, and maybe all this interference from various world governments is what has ruined them. Bill Gates had a vision, and he made it reality. Why is everyone so afraid of that?

Fan Art / cards
« on: February 01, 2004, 01:44:34 pm »
I\'m making some MtG cards based on people from the Planeshift community, starting with black.

I know, the title font is wrong. If anyone has Matrix Bold, can you send it to me?

also, don\'t click anything in the main directory of the geocities site I\'m hosting these on, a few un-suspicous files there can be very dangerous to your computer.

General Discussion / Favorite place
« on: January 27, 2004, 02:07:16 pm »
What\'s everyone\'s favorite place in the game? I like the temple. It looks nice, has nice music, it\'s pretty big... second would be the city wall, though. I like being there better, but it\'s harder to get to. The temple, you just spawn and walk.

The Hydlaa Plaza / How was your day?
« on: January 23, 2004, 10:07:56 pm »
This is the thread where you post how your day was. I\'ll kick it off.

Today, I was sad. Yesterday, Cryptic_Angel from Misetings told me to make a good card and she would give me the Matrix Bold font. Today, I finished it.. I made a little card off of Mr Weebl\'s Scampi toon.

http://www.geocities.com/alex_person2001/Scampi.txt

I\'m not too proud of the rules text, but I like the card as a whole. I think the Torment expansion symbol was a nice touch ;)

Anyway, I did this because I knew Cryptic_Angel had seen the Scampi toon. Apparantly, she really hated it, enough to use it as an excuse not to give me the font (I don\'t think she ever planned to) telling me that Scampi should go to hell and I should die or something.

But then I turned on my SNES emulator, and beat Kirby Superstar Arena, no save states, for the first time. Plasma, I discovered, is the best ability in the game (except for Hammer in Milky Way Wishes, but that\'s close to cheating, and you can\'t do it in Arena anyway). Then I went and kicked some cross-dresser ass in Chrono Trigger. So I ended up happy. :)

So how was your day?

Wish list / Supernatural Warrior Abilities
« on: January 19, 2004, 03:43:46 pm »
I know, there will be no classes, but in D&D wizards at high level pwn fighters. This is not cool. I propose high-level warrior types have some supernatural abilities, or at least something beyond the laws of physics in the real world. Something to turn magic maybe... you can post ideas.

Maybe, instead of just using the sum of warrior skills, we could use the level idea I posted in the \"RolePlaying In Its Purest Form\" thread.

Or magic skill levels could give skills based on warrior-style skill levels...

Granted or negated Wishes / Shuffle the Music
« on: December 26, 2003, 11:25:50 pm »
Come CB, there will be a larger world.
All the music in Planeshift r0xx (except dungeon music) but some of it doesn\'t fit (town should be happier music I think).
When you make the music for CB, if one thing fits more than another n a place, I encourage you to move music around and change it and stuff.

Wish list / Dynamic Quests
« on: December 26, 2003, 11:22:58 pm »
I think quests should be more dynamic than, let\'s say, Diablo II quests (kill the smith I imbue your item).
They should be like real life, your position is what matters.
This would mean that they would have to involve multiple people; and they should.
One NPC might want someone to do one thing, another might want someone else to do something else, all in relation to some sort of more global event. And though the NPCs might ask multiple people, its not like the quest is for everyone. Also, not everything has to be assigned by NPCs.

So, its all based around a situation, not just an assignment.

Like Threed, in Earthbound. One player might think of putting the zombie paper in the tent. (if not the npcs die). Another might go through the graveyard. Another may be commisioned by an npc to fly the flying rescue thing.

There are problems in this, and it isn\'t a complete idea yet. SOrry, I\'m tired. I\'ll fix it in the morning. Post comments.

*sighs*
I have the best ideas when I\'m tired, but I\'m the worst at expressing them.

OK I guess its sort of like this:
It gets rid of the concept of assigned quests altogether
instead creating a dynamic situation
which the players then deal with in various ways

The Hydlaa Plaza / WoTC Forums and Why They Suck
« on: December 21, 2003, 12:59:16 am »
WoTC stands for Wizards of the Coast for those ignorant people out there.
Advantages:
1. You will most likely get any questions you have answered, with the swarm of people there.

Disadvantages:
1. Posts get buried the moment they are made.
2. No community; very few people with any personality. I know that the Werefrog speaks in third person and Cli\' Van Aquanova is a major merfolk fan, but... that\'s about it.
3. You are very, very likely to be ignored
4. Many people means many many stupid people
5. They are slow and unreliable
6. Sometimes when you post, it gives you a page not displayed thing, or nothing loads, and posts take so long to register, and the \"60 seconds between posts\" thing doesn\'t always work, so you will make double posts over and over until you learn to copy and paste, trust the system, and check back later.
7. I don\'t like them.

OW! MY EYES!!!
Sticky threads werer obvious enough, you don\'t have to make me take another visit to the eye doctor! Those visit things happen to be expensive!
PLEASE! Can anyone here change that? Or is the kind of thing the local admins can\'t do?
Because annoying stuff makes me sad. Unless it\'s me. Or someone else sometimes.
