Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I like the arcade, but I think it will cut into the amount of people actually posting. Maybe you could make a limit for it, otherwise people will just join for the arcade!
YT2095 Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I expect that if the arcade idea takes off, it will probably be based on repuation figures and post worthyness anyway
Sayonara Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I just got an e-mail warning me that atinymonkey has ousted me from the top spot, and asking if I'd like to claim back my title. lol
atinymonkey Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 How 1337 is that! I have renewed love of the site!
YT2095 Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 If you have an arcade, add Pong! NOoooooo! do NOT add that! I will NEVER get on here if my wife knows pong is on here!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted March 30, 2004 Author Posted March 30, 2004 why? Pong is a classic!!!! An arcade MUST have it!
Dave Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I have to say, the arcade blatently rocks. Cheers blike.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted April 8, 2004 Author Posted April 8, 2004 Did anyone notice that in Asteroids when you hit shift you teleport elsewhere?
fafalone Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Yes... hyperspace is a useful last-resort (its risky, you'll often get teleported into the middle of an asteroid) to escape when the thrust won't do it quick enough.
Dave Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Needs more games really, noticed quite a few around you might want to try. I think it also needs some kind of post count limit or something as well.
Crash Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 Maybe chess......i like chess Or alittle race car game
iglak Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 it has to be something that you can always do better at and get a higher score. in that sense, chess wouldn' work, there is a limit to the score. i'd recommend Centipede, or PacMan... or something along those lines
fafalone Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 You now need a minimum of 50 posts to play games in the arcade.
Dave Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 Good idea; stop people like monctur just joining to play the arcade anyway.
Sayonara Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 It shouldn't take monctur long to make 50 posts; I mean it's not like he has any actual work to do. (j/k Chris )
atinymonkey Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Well, I average 2.33 posts per day and I'm quite an active poster. Most people take months to get up to 50, unless they have an adjenda to get across in some crazy fashion. Not that I really know much about forum management, but it appears to be a method of encouraging spammyness for gaming reward. Mind you, I'm still a bit bitter about losing tetris high score.
fafalone Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 50 posts makes it better to go search for another arcade forum than post to get up to that.
Sayonara Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Especially when there are people like me watching like a hawk. A HAWK I tell you.
atinymonkey Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 What, from the side of your head in an feathery endangered way? I thought it through, the less people playing the more pausable regaining the high score will be. Now all have have to do is drain my willingness to do other stuff, and get back on the arcade! Perhaps. I'm a bit ill you know. feel a bit woozy.
amoda Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 u do know that several ppl including me will make a useless post every now and there to get to the 50 post minimum right? This post included. (dont worry this will be the only one)
Sayonara Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 Why bother though? There are plenty of free game sites with much better games. http://www.gamer.tv for a start.
amoda Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 well afcourse there are gonna be better games at other sites, this is a science forum but its still kind of nice to be able to get a little badge under ur name saying ur a so&so champ also if my parents ask what im doing i can always tell them im on a science forum site and i still would be telling the truth even though im playing a game.
