BEN_RANDOM'S PROFILE

I'm Ben_Random. I've been around since 2008 but I didn't really get active here since Super RMN Bros. 2. That, an unfinished game, and a couple of contests sums up what I've done with game making on this site. I find that my main purpose here is writing. I have a few tutorials out there, as well as some reviews on Mario fan games such as RMN Bros. or Mario V.S. the Moon Base.

Now with the internet the way it is these days, you can probably use just this information to stalk me.

What can you do with squares? (VX RTP Mapping Contest)

author=Ben_Random
I say let's vote on the number of votes each person get's in the vote for the best map. Now, how many votes should each person get in the vote for the number of vote's in the vote for the best maps. I guess now we should have a vote for the number of votes each person get's in the vote for the amount of votes each person get's in the vote for the number of vote's in the vote for the best maps.And then we'll have a vote for the number of vote's in that vote.

How does that sound?

The number of votes given to people who vote in the vote for the best map should be the same as the votes given to those who vote in the vote for the number of votes they get to vote with in the vote for the best map. To decide the number of votes, we could roll a die/toss three coins/inky pinky ponky etc. So we should probably have a vote in which we vote for the method that should be used to decide the votes that people get while voting in the vote for the best map, which is the same as the votes given in the vote for the best map. We could also vote for the votes in this vote, and roll a die etc. for that. By now we should all be tired and fall asleep. So lets all count the number of dreams we get, and take an average number. But we will all have dreams about voting for votes and inky pinky ponkying while riding on pink ponies. As a result it will be hard to distinguish between two dreams. So we can all vote for what counts as two separate dreams and what does not. And then we'll have a vote for the number of votes in that vote. By then, August 5th would have come and gone and people would have already voted. We can take an average number of votes per person and disqualify all those who haven't voted with exactly these number of votes. That sounds about right. /trolling


This will go down in RMN history. Now who want's to vote on that!

We will be able to vote for multiple entries, right?
I'm not sure how all these event things work, but my original idea was to keep it one vote per person. That is, unless someone begs to differ.
I beg to differ. I think the 2K3 contest was three votes a person.
author=Space_Monkey
I was thinking that it would be interesting to give people 3 votes to dispense with 3 points going to their 1st place choice, 2 to their second, and 1 to their 3rd place choice.


Sure thing, the rule will be changed to three votes per person.

Star the voting August 1st, and wrap it up on Friday Aug 5th at noon (so that I can have Friday afternoon to dole out the achievements)


For once, I like your idea Kentona, as of now, this is official.

Am I a bad person to have been vaguely thinking of who to vote for since the "fortnight left" message I posted? Am I a worse person to have still not made any concrete decision?


Marrend, you are a horrible person. Not for "vaguely thinking of who to vote for", or "not made any concrete decision", but because you knew what the word fortnight meant without using dictionary.com.

If anyone wants real engine descriptions, they'd check the engine pages. That's what they're there for and they do a better job then this. Why not just link to them?


I link them to the engine pages here:
ENGINES:
An engine is a piece of software, in this case, used to design video games. RPG Maker is an engine. To look at rpgmaker.net's full engine run-down, click here.

So, the voting period is coming around, how long do you think it will take to vote. A week, two days? What do you think?

Woops, double post.
