I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

CloseFirst of all, here's the website.
http://www.piratekart.com/
Despite the name and the fact that their logo is a big pirate flag, this is not a website for pirated games. This is a website for free indie games. These guys are packaging up a bunch of indie games and then taking them to the Game Developer's Conference, and also putting them online for anyone to download as a giant 1.4 GB zip file (that's the size of the last one they did anyway, which was for the Indie Games Festival).
This is a pretty good chance to get some recognition for your games, if you have any that you feel are good enough to share outside the RPG Maker cesspool.
I emailed them about how they felt about ripped resources and got this response:
You want to get upgraded from RPG Maker user to indie game developer? This is your chance. Go to piratekart.com and click the big green button.
Submission was supposed to be only last weekend, but since being mentioned on Penny Arcade they have extended the deadline and are still accepting games. I'm not sure when they will close it off for real, so if I were you I'd hurry.
If you want to download the game package they put together for the Indie Games Festival, head here.

They are allowed! Even if they weren't it's waaay too late, cause there is tons of it in there already :) I think it'd be great to get the RPG Maker community(ies?) involved, ripped music and sprites and all!

Pretty awesome find, there, LockeZ. I would submit Monopolo, or whatever, but...nah. I don't think it's good enough to submit anywhere else other than RPGmaker.net. :D
Holy macaroni in a stick. I'm signing in when we're done.
And if we'll make it by the deadline <<; (whenever that is?)

Had a bad experience with them, kentona? I basically just found it linked from Penny Arcade and admit to not knowing a lot of their history.
Mike's a cool dude, but the rest of the community (that I've seen) have been dicks. (Even bigger dicks than RMN, if you can imagine!). Same old same old, really.
I take that back, they are cool dudes. But the games we make here aren't really what they're about. Though we're both hobbyists. They are generally looking for games made specifically for GDC/Pirate Kart V and ideally made in 2 hours or less.

RPG Maker games didn't really seem like the kind of things they were really looking for, no. But their number one rule is to break their other rules if doing so results in submitting a game, and as far as I'm aware they don't seem to be turning much if anything down. They seem to have quite a few other games that were pre-existing. So I figure it can't hurt submit stuff. Only took me fifteen minutes, 95% of which was spent waiting for my game to upload.

I would not enter any kind of public showcase that allows ripped resources. It is pretty just asking to get cease and desist letters or be sued.

I mean with a game that uses such things.
And last time I checked I didn't have any game profiles here.
Heh; I find it amusing that they're allowing rips, while advertising this thing as 'legal'. But having a name with the word "pirate" on it, it wouldn't surprise me if their definition of 'legal' willfully differs from the truth. God knows the kind abounds this day and age... But anyway, the chances for a "cease and desist" order to strike this down are rather slim. The videogame industry is overall more reasonable when exercising their rights than perhaps, the music, or the movie industries... That, or they really don't give a damn about us nerds. ;P

Also: the submissions are apparently mostly really short games made over the course of less than a week. While longer games are allowed, the contest is mostly designed for very short games (the website suggests aiming for two days of production time). So I think that probably drastically changes the dynamic of what's expected and allowed.
It's not really for RPGs or long-length games, or for self-promotion. The Pirate Kart was started as a way to get people to make games - especially people who didn't already make games. For people here, I think it serves as a good way to just make a crappy & crazy idea in two hours and just have fun making something stupid because making games is fun :)
I just submitted a game called "Squidmancer Goes To The Drugstore". I managed to get it done in 2.5 hours, and I'm pretty damn proud of it :P
