The new AAP Official Projects Squad has just been raised!
#21
To Sumojo:

That is correct, man. Big Grin Two indeed. And you know what, Sumojo, it felt ohh so *real good* to me deeply that I have actually given the two prize plaques away to them for their excellent efforts and work in QB. And also, you can take a look at my ALL-NEW prize plaques for the QBCPC 2004/2005 to see the *richest* rewards that this thing yields for the winners!

And that, Sumojo, is only the beginning. Wink ! Thanks a lot on that question, and I will be catching you once more!

C'mon guys, give him a break! If he wants a competition where there are no shower scenes, I can't see that stopping anyone here from entering. There hasn't even been a QBasic game *made* with a shower scene!

Basically his rules do nothing more than restrict role playing game fantasies or blood soaked platformers, which IMO are overdone anyway. Surely you guys are more creative than that... Look at Lachie's Blazing Ball Fantasy, a game that did very well, and would have not broken any rules.

It's a free world. If you're not going to compete, don't knock it.

Neo won the library entry because he's the only one who entered. It's easy to win a compo if you're the only competitor.

AAP: most of the examples you've stated...most people have never heard of (I think you and I are probably the only people here who've ever played Image Fight, let alone even heard of it). But UGL and DirectQB are not games, so I have no idea why you're putting those into your subject matter of gaming "evils". And I hate to burst your bubble here kid but originality simply doesn't exist. Everything out there is a revision of something that already exists. Your Star Angelic Slugger game is a perfect example of old ideas rehashed a million times over, and even Frantic Journey is a tried-and-true formula from the 80s and 90s that has been sucessful countless times.

As for your demented thoughts on what "fear" is...you insist you are not motivated by religion, yet you often provide links to religious sites to substantiate your claims. Is it just me, or is this the biggest show of hypocrisy this side of neopagan Wicca? For your information (which you will ignore because it conflicts with your narrow mind), fear is a natural aspect of humanity...it is something we can never escape. Every sentient living creature has fear...humans, birds, bears, cats, dogs, snails, even houseflies. Fear has nothing to do with false evidence...fear is often brought on by one's own mind, therefore presenting the possibility of being false, but to the one feeling the fear, it's certainly very real. Most fear, however, is very real, not only in the mind but in reality as well. A good example of fear being in the mind is the fear people feel when looking at me. I am a frightening person to behold; I personify evil to them. But if they get to know me, they learn I'm not scary at all...I just have an innate ability to weed out the weak-of-mind. Fearing me means fearing yourself. Thus being said, few individuals in real life can safely call themselves my friends, and those who can are likewise exceptionally strong indivduals that no one can doubt for a second. On the other hand...a very real example of fear is the US government. Other countries fear the US government because they have shown time and time again that they can and will crush entire nations that disagree with their ridiculous (and often religiously-incited) narrow-minded points of view. By bowing to the supreme strength of the US government, countries conform to the master-slave game the US has spent decades constructing. Thus, they save themselves from annihilation by being the puppet...all out of FEAR. Those are two examples of the different forms of fear. Both are real but only one could fall under that ridiculous acronym, and only just barely.

And I know everyone except you AAP is going to read this thread and understand it...and you will read this, ignore what I say, form a conclusion outside of the intention, post some ridiculous context-laden response which has little to nothing to do with what I just said, and everyone involved will be none the wiser.

(So why do I even try? Here's why...because it's better to try and to fail than to never try at all.)
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

To all of you:

Due to the amount of spammers corrupting and contaminating my forumboard through *blatant* MULTIPLE violations of my Official Entry Rules (I permanently banned a couple of them on that due to the apparently lewd nature of which the violations were made by them!), I have closed up the board until further notice by me. That is to preserve the true integrity of my forumboard. Wink !!

Case closed, and that’ll teach them some manners.

That's just mean.

Ridiculous, narrow-minded points of view?

Most likely.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't say much because it appears that you are venting.
I thought alot of the rules were ridiculous too.

"Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real! Learn to be more in control of your emotions, and stop "catastrophising", "awfulising", "what-if-ing", and "must-erbating"!"

I don't think that sentence meant that Fear was an acronym. I think it's just trying to make you realize that that's what fear is most of the time by remembering it like an acronym.
What's up with the "must-erbating"? That dosen't mean what I think it means, does it?

I can understand not fighting and violence for a clean game, but no wizards? Well, they are your rules, and I respect that. Actually, it does look like it would have an interesting outcome with forcing the gameplay theme. But, comeon, you would have had to known by making these rules that you would create some controversy.

People in the Qmunity already focus on gameplay...or at least the experienced ones do. Big Grin That's why compos that actually get entrants are more focused on the quality of the games.

Quote:Dark_prevail, the clear reason I will not allow the phrases “I’m afraid not” and “I doubt it!” in my compo at all is *simply* because of these: did you know that the two phrases are fear-based and fear-supported, and that the lettering of the word “fear” stands for “false evidence appearing real”?

Did you know, that you're making me *so* sick!? Try doing some REAL linguistic research before you come out with such blabber. Did you know, there are alot more than a hundred languages, do you think that word stands for that thing in ALL of them?

"The moon is bigger than the earth"
"I doubt it"
"No you can't do that..."

:roll:

Religion might be good, but sometimes it just takes people to far...

And about that article... Do you believe that just because something is written on the net, it's right? or maybe it's because you can't "doubt it"...

Stop trying to put your religious beliefs down in everyone else. It just pisses them off, and get it back on yourself.

edit: I just read that Nek had already answered on the thing about fear.. I just had to get it out quickly.

This guy is putting violence, gore and war in the same bag than some religious symbols such as the muslim half moon, for example. That's insulting.

I just can't get along with that. Intolerance is what causes ALL of this world problems.

Appart from the stupidity of the rules themselves. And the "fear" stuff makes me laugh the most. It looks like this guy thinks that English is the only language. In Spanish, that word is "miedo". Also an acronym written by Mr. Devil himself?

To Oracle:

Right up front, it is finalized that I am going with you in its entirety on this one. I will never even begin to argue about that or about religion at all. Big Grin !

And, the compo *will* continue as I convert it into HTML format. That is all that I am going to say.

See you again. Wink !

What is it that you are so afraid of that forces you into being aggressive?

Do we intimidate you?

Are you insecure about your accomplishments?

Do you feel that you are a lesser person, and somehow make up for it by being aggressive?


Aggressivity spawns from fear, doesent it? Sorry to say AAP, but you're breaking your own rules all the time.

But I guess that's ok?



Fun sidenote: I had my mum read AAP's rules.. she's 48, and would probably qualify as a "hippie". She could not in her wildest imagination (is that ok to say AAP? or is imagination sinful?) see how people could have sex, or kiss on a forumboard, or how a faery would post a message.

In fact, the rules state that AAP beleive in faeries, wizards aso, as the rules ban those groups of people from his forum, clearly, they exist, and must be banned.

And, no nymphs?.. Nympho(something) is a "sickness" making a person have increased apetite for sex.



Rule nr 43532 on Z!re's forum: No diabetics!
Rule nr 43533 on Z!re's forum: No coughing!
Rule nr 43534 on Z!re's forum: Absolutely, and blatantly, no exceptions period. No sneezing!





And to any Admin:
You keep warning people for "jumping" AAP, when all we do is point out his absurd stupid, and sometimes totaly braindead rules (my opinion, and if you think of it, it's prolly close to your own opinion as well, I do appologize however or I'd get a warning)
"Most" of the forum/qmunity has a problem with AAP's forumboard/rules, yet you allow him to post?

Like Nath said, peace symbols, and various religious symbols, are classified as evil? Not everyone is a christian you know.


Maybe rename QBN to "All Christian ForumBoard for the QBCaliberCompo"?


Is the cross an OK symbol? To me it stands for inhumane suffering and slaughtering of thousands of people in the roman empire.


Seeing as Christianity/the Cross is the only thing allowed on AAP's forum I find it highly insulting.

That you as admins would allow something like that to be posted?

Again:
If I posted a link to a site, where there was a link to a childporn site, would that be ok?

Or, if I posted a link to a site where I showed a picture of my dead cat, which btw, was burned and runned over by a truck?

Or... [...]

You get the picture?




You don't have a problem with AAP?, good for you.
But I have a problem with his forum and it's rules, and his compo and it's rules.
But I guess I don't count, because AAP is doing something valuable for the qmunnity by having his "compos".

Hell (no pun intended), my forum about Novix has more visitors, my homepage about Novix has a LOT more visitors (18000 now, been up since january, note that this is hits, not unique visits)
And I havent seen any news post about Novix, why? Because I havent posted about it.
I havent heard anyone complain about any rules on my forum, granted there's not many registered users, and it's pretty slow.


AAP splits the community, he makes people upset, and he's ignorant. What do you have to do to be banned?


Ohh, and BTW, seeing as my Novix forum is a bit slow, can I have my own forum here? AAP got one, didn't he?

Or is hi's compo, with (what I've heard/read) only one contestant more important then something that has had 18000 hits? (remember when AAP's site had 2000 hits... well.. I guess it's around 2500 now.)

That was your way of justifying it, he needed a forum for his important compo.



My fingers are getting tired.



Last time I "went up against" AAP, I got a warning, for what? A post, simillar to this one, which you removed though. I even copied it and sent it to a few people just in case you would ban me.

Ohh the joy of knowing that some people are treated differently just because they are special and important, and have an important compo.

A compo that I, btw, would never in my life join, and I hope most of you never join it.



I seriously DOUBT that AAP's compo is important for the "continued prosperity" of the qmunnity.
I'm AFRAID that it only hinders people from progressing.


Ohh, and fear in swedish: Rädsla
I doubt AAP even knows how to pronounce that.
