Bob Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 *Salutes* I'm still here. I haven't died of cholera, dysentery, scarlet fever, or any other Oregon Trail disease.
def Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 There seems to be a lot of that about. Too much, perhaps - I had assumed that the Imperial Soldiers had become extinct for that very reason Innuendo expressly intended, sir! Thank you for taking the time to read into it, sir.
Alex the Great Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Alex Gierdieau reporting in, I heard the scurvy disease was going around.
RileyC Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I have spent the last weeks unpicking then sewing all my buttons back on to my to my jacket. I have done it 103 times
Rick Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 We've been discussing (riffle polishing) tactics in out tents for way too long now... time to go to battle and after that back home - alive!
Sandy Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I sincerely hope you can pull this off, ImpScouts, you had such great and ambitious ideas for this game. I'm cheering for you, eager to get to play!
MetroiD Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 I have spent the last weeks unpicking then sewing all my buttons back on to my to my jacket. I have done it 103 times Oui monsieur, I also believe some of us might have made far too many visits to local pubs... With the Division's morale in mind, I do find this highly disturbing and would be happy if we were finally given the chance to go into the field of combat.
iamded Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Still here, still ready to flush out those filthy deserters, and still donning the most awesome facial hair.
Mission Commander Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I'm not playing but plan to follow, is this going to start anytime soon. On the first post it said two weeks.
Luke McAwesome Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I'm not playing but plan to follow, is this going to start anytime soon. On the first post it said two weeks. A Message from the Staff (so as not to be confused with a simple message from me as a player)After much delay, this game will be up tomorrow. Or else it's canceled, and we wouldn't want that, would we? I know it's been a while, so why don't all of you post here again to just say hey and let us know you haven't died of dysentery or something during the long wait on the battlefield. Does that answer your question?
Piranha Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I wondered what had happened, I thought he was just waiting for the last few people to sign in here. In case anyone hasn't signed in I am still here doing what reserves do, what do they do with all their spare time
Shadows Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I wondered what had happened, I thought he was just waiting for the last few people to sign in here. What happened was an attempt to turn a mafia game into a brickfilm has led to weeks of stalling and delays for no good reason, leaving future hosts uncertain of their timing and positions and players left to polish their rifles all day with no action seen. Given that he's logged in since my warning PM, I am led to believe that our commander has gone traitor and may have to be shot. Looks like we're finally going to get some action, men!
Dragonator Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Staff Warning Mafia games are all about players having fun, and there is nothing more infuriating than waiting for a slow host who doesn't deliver or even communicate why he has been delayed. Here on EB we are happy to allow normal members to host games, provided they are going to run them efficiently and up to standard. The delay in the start of this game is unacceptable, as it not only detracts from the built up excitement of the players and disappoints them, but it also messes up my very carefully planned game schedule, and nobody likes a pissed of dragon, I can tell you. On that note, I am locking down this game thread until the host can convince me that he is prepared to begin the game. It is great to be ambitious and want to include media clips in games like this, however this should not come at the expense of a well paced game that everyone can enjoy. Once the host has contacted me, I will consider reopening the game. I must apologise to all those players eagerly waiting to play for the delays, but this will be sorted out, never fear. However, we do have something better to do while you wait, since we love to have a bit of fun in here from time to time. It would seem EB News is running its own version of Day 1, so go check it out now! Sincerely yours, Lord Dragonator Tyrant of the Games
WhiteFang Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Your opening video is lovely, especially the firing up of the cannon. Well exceuted. (I never expected e loud bang though) Shall we get the game going??
Scouty Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 Your opening video is lovely, especially the firing up of the cannon. Well exceuted. (I never expected e loud bang though) Shall we get the game going?? Sorry about that , glad you liked it, though! I'm not sure if I will, as planned, do any more animations. The whole idea seems tarnished now. Would you guys prefer I not do them so things can be done in timely fashion? But, please, enjoy the game! Vote them deserters out! Boo, deserters, boo!
RileyC Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 The BrickFilm was cool but I dont think its needed every day. Maybe every other day but not every new day because it will just be too much work for you . It was really well done I loved the cannon going off
Rick Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I'm fine with just the pictures as well. But it's a nice touch and indeed very well done.
AwesomeStar Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Agreed, pictures are fine, but the brickfilm was lovely. Maybe you could do a small one when something major happens in the story? Either way, very well done! I love this game already! ~A.S.
MagPiesRUs Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 That was a great little movie you made IS, it's certainly an interesting idea to include animations in a mafia game. If you do want to keep making animations, I'd suggest just making a couple of generic animations (eg. someone voted off will have their back to the camera when killed) to mix and match throughout the game.
Dragonator Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I would like to formally withdraw the closure notice I issued earlier, as the issue has now been resolved and the first day thread is up and running. Let us now put that behind us and get on with playing this game and having some fun! Scouts, I must say that the opening post is very well presented and structured, good job all round. If you think you are going to have trouble sticking to the schedule by doing media clips, then my best advice is to not do them. It was very fun, and an awesome addition to the game, but should not come at the expense of punctuality. Good luck with the hosting, and I look forward to playing in the game.
Shadows Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Blah blah blah, always Mr. Overly Verbose. Now come back to my tent, soldier. Oh, and I'll second what Draggy said.
Alex the Great Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 The video was really good, but I don't think you should do it everyday. Maybe for the conclusion, or important parts. But you can always use the pictures, nice job!
Captain Genaro Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I loved the video and all, great idea but I think it should be saved for important parts.
Scouty Posted February 21, 2010 Author Posted February 21, 2010 Thanks for your input! I've made up a plan that will provide a nice experience for everybody Short to say, more pictures will be involved
Dragonator Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Thanks for your input! I've made up a plan that will provide a nice experience for everybody Short to say, more pictures will be involved Excellent, good work Scouts, I'm sure it will be great! Now to go find me some sausage...
