I figured you didn't, but maybe I'm also the only one who finds it amusing. Don't worry about it. Read Starship Troopers until you get to the part where Johnny realizes he's over the hump in boot camp.Dugit wrote:I meant it to have no comedic value.

I understand why Ryoko is so angry at me, and I accept it. I still respect the olders of the forum, and that's not going to change unless something awful happens to me on their behalf. I'm just expressing that sometimes (admittedly more than others) I make vocabulary mistakes, and in most cases, they are weak and pointless motions to make myself sound more generally mature than I am. I am sorry for this saga of error, and I wish to apologize to all those who feel affected.
Vale,

WJ? I thought it was me, Dugit and Envy. Actually, I'm just an idiot sometimes. Not sure how much I "wax dramatic".RyokoTK wrote:You, Dugit, and WJ all have this ridiculous penchant for waxing dramatic as soon as anyone stops being tolerant of your games.

I'm pretty sure it's been done before. There are plenty of old game communities and several of them probably have modern emulators/level creators. We're lucky to have a guy like Tree, however, who codes all the stuff for the game; not many (though probably a few other than this one) online communities have that kind of guy.Pfhortipfhy wrote:*words over the internet*
Even still, that shouldn't stop other people creating something aswell, I mean, surely there's more than one programmer here.gmanyo wrote:I'm pretty sure it's been done before.

No it doesn't sound dumb to me. I like it; it makes good sense.Pfhortipfhy wrote:One of your words is below the others in the same line, you might want to fix that up.
No, but in all seriousness, I find the fact that our current setting, the worship of a howevermany year old game with outdated everything, an "old guard" and a new influx of users, to be fascinating. It's a rather unique social experiment. Given the relative novelty of the Internet, and multiplayer video games, as well as the effects of the open source movement, and the specific amount of popularity Marathon has/had, as well as the demographics its crowd of users, one can see that this crowd is unique. No other community is exactly like this, indeed, we're paving the way for social science. A case study in an "Old-Guard versus New Generation", with the additional factor of "content creation" proficiency effecting social status, as well as the effect of poor (or not) grammar and spelling upon observed "intelligence" of the post.
I won't pretend that I was observing these things closely before, but over my break I was thinking about how interesting it was to have been part of something that had never been done before. There is bountiful information here about human interaction, and what that says about our deeper levels of psychological tendencies and habits. The greatest thing about all of this is that it's archived, saved, for future generations to laugh and read and be inspired or do whatever they want with our conversations, if they so choose. Given the wealth of information generated each day, it'll be a miracle if someone stumbles upon this place 75 years from now, but one can hope.
I hope that doesn't sound dumb, I have a tendency to post stupid things late at night and then cringe about it in the morning I've found.
