EMIRPOEN'S PROFILE

author=WIP
I just thought I would make a topic about some of the upcoming RMN updates.

Cleaning Up
I am tired of the random senselessness going on in the forums and will be reorganizing them. I like forums and don't want them to get away, but the site message isn't very clear.

There will be a single forum for off topic discussion called "Off Topic".
All the topics from General, Videogames, and Art will be merged into this forum.
Moronic Stuff and Introductions are going bye-bye.

My only possible concern with this would be tossing Art into general, but I'm open to seeing how well it fares in the merged forum.

There is too much separation going on here. And there is way too much random jerkhole activity in Moronic Stuff to keep that alive.

I suppose this was inevitable, but I can live with this easily.

Stricter Modding
People run amok here far too crazily and that is going to stop. I have been working on a lot of improved mod tools to facilitate this.

Warning System
This has taken me way too long to implement, but now you people get to feel my wrath and have a record of it! There will be some documentation on the way it works, but to sum it up:

User gets warned and receives X warning points.
If user meets or exceeds Y points, they are automatically banned.
A user's warning points will "decay" back to 0.
If user is banned, they must wait for all their points to decay back to 0 to be unbanned.
You can be warned for anything you post on the site

This might sound like a lot of negative updates and it will be for some. There's been a lot of drifting recently in the site's feel and attitude and that needs to change! Where are the games? The fun? That needs to come back.

Your site WIP. You aren't happy about a lot of things and you're doing something to fix that. Can't knock you for that.

So now here is where you can help!
1) We need a couple moderators who can help keep the peace. I am not really predisposed to anyone so if you feel you can sway me, go ahead and let me know how you can take care of the job.
2) We need more events! We need more things that focus on game making. If you have any fun event ideas, go ahead and post them in the Site Feedback forum.
3) We have a really fun podcast system on the site and nobody is using it! If you and some fellow game makerians want to do some podcasts, talk to me about it and we can hook you up.

Feel free to PM me directly about any of these.

1) Could I fill this role? Certainly. Would you really want to have me do this? I didn't think so.
2) I'd love to run an event, and depending if it was ok or not, I'd even drop a lil money on a contest. (Your site, so naturally, you'd get the final say on whether or not I could run something along those lines).
3)Well, I am just starting a lil series on youtube involving RM games (I wont go into detail here, cause that would be plugging), but honestly, I'd seriously give this a chance if I was given an opportunity.

Let's try and make this spring as exciting as possible. There has been a lack of motivation from me because there has been a lack of motivation from you. Let's all change that!

I'll put my wager in that this will all actually do some significant good.

All my life I've heard you'd be hot... if you had implants.

Men like big breasts because otherwise they'd hit on 8 year olds.

Theres more to a woman than boobs.

Also, for anyone feeling crazy enough, google norma stitz, and let us know how you reacted...

Background processes may have a hand in the issue as well. you folks may wanna examine everything else you have running.

Her stuff doesn't work for me with all of my other scripts, but we need to thank Yanfly, because once someone posted her battle engine here there were a lot more VX games.

Yanfly is a dude, dude.

Also, to the people having lag, are you running in 32 or 64 bit by chance?

Edit: OS wise.

If this is a forest town then add random water somewhere.

(Edit: Drek you're no longer on the Adventure of Wind team. It's ONLY my and Ricks game now.)

Oh, the flowers aren't in a pattern, and there are 3 trees randomly lined up at the bottom.

1) Water would be nice, but that wouldnt really solve the issue.
2) The flowers would only have to be in a pattern if they were planted. Nature tends to be more chaotic in its designs.
3)Yes there are 3 trees there, but I doubt thats random.

Edit: as in more than 3 tiles for the walls and 3 tiles for the roof. play a VX game or look at some VX maps and youll see what I mean.
Randomize as in make it so there is no real pattern to it.
