mcjaco Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I beleive my initial etiquette rules said that if you made a video that's all you needed. Although I'd prefer some more wordy info. I'd let it slide. His stuff is good, and he does repond.
mcjaco Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 R.D., I unlocked the RCT3 Canyon thread. One update was 48 hours, and the next one was close to 23 hours. We don't need to be completely anal retentive on that rule. If the thread sucks (and it does), no one will pay any attention and it'll get buried.
A.J. Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah, most of the time I just let threads sink. It's when members post a few hours after they do an update saying something like, "Please comment" that we throw the hammer down, right?
mcjaco Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 So Twister II reported one of fraroq's mutliple posts in his crappy park thread. I replied back to both of them in the thread, and fraroq has a warning attached to his account now. If he keeps updating like an idiot, ban him.
Hhappy Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 is it me or is Twister acting more and more like a wannabe mod?
mcjaco Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Honestly, I don't have much time to keep tabs on these idiots. So if he's been doing it in more than one thread, I'd have no idea. The reporting the post just rubbed me the wrong way. Which I know he's done in the past too.
Hhappy Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 don't see any problem with your response.. just annoyed with the way twister was posting and acting
mcjaco Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 ^ He's a wannabe mod from time to time. Sometimes it's helpful, other times it's annoying.

QueerRudie Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 G-D help me for saying this, after the last disaster: It's time to run an RCT 3 contest. Any ideas would be great- as I've got a planform park setup, but would like to make it closer to what CPM has done in the past before starting the contest. Also, what would be a good 'challenge' for a park setup? I.E. Do we do build XXX type of ride/rides?
A.J. Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I'm a big fan of the "here's a park that is in complete disrepair and here's 10 grand to fix it" challenges, but you can't really do that in RCT3 because you can't set rides to be preserved. Maybe something like that Fiasco Forest scenario from Corkscrew Follies? Make it like Crazy Park Manager let his idiot second cousin twice removed build a park or something?
QueerRudie Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Do you have a 'RCT II'd' version of that? I.E. something I can get a good planform from, and work from there? I'd like to get this ready to go in a weeks time (I head to Asia next week tuesday for five days, and want to release it Monday AM). I like the idea of the run-down park in disrepair. Perhaps get a lot of guests sick, trash everywhere, etc. that needs to be fixed. Some of the different ideas that are being floated around in my foggy head are an older park with ancient rides that break down constantly, and few choices to replace them with (Limit the amount of "Here's my 900 foot tall, 600 mile long, 128 inversion B&M" types of rides).
A.J. Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 I don't have the Rotting Heights scenario (park in disrepair) but I do have Fiasco Forest (badly-designed rides) and Ivory Towers (covered in trash and vomit). Fiasco Forest & Ivory Towers.zip
QueerRudie Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Thanks for that AJ- I'll start to pull them apart and see what would work for RCT III. I should have a prototype game ready by Wed/Thur depending on how work goes tomorrow (If US/AA is 'announced' tomorrow, it will be later in the week). Any other ideas would be great, too- as this is sort of new territory for me.
mcjaco Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Hey guys, who locked the Oriental Gardens thread? There was no reasoning left to as why it was locked. Just a lock. Please provide a reason if you're going to do that, or delete it, and send a PM. I deleted it, and sent a PM to the poster about the rules. Thanks!
A.J. Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) I locked it and sent him a PM asking him to provide more content; I didn't edit in a little message like I usually do, apologies. I need to learn to stop trying to do five hundred things at once. Edited September 6, 2012 by A.J.
A.J. Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I'm getting annoyed by people using shortened YouTube URLs. Doesn't anyone read how to use YouTube tags? youtu.be links don't work! you have to use the full URL!
QueerRudie Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 I'm pushing the RCT 3 contest to next Monday due to delays from work and from building the actual game (I want this one to be special, as it's a first-off.)
Hhappy Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Looking forward to the next game challenge. Would be nice to generate some extra posts and game exchange things again It never hurts to remind folks and keep things flowing
QueerRudie Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Ask and you shall receive, Hanno... Shady Glen park is now ready for release- I'll post it up to the exchange tomorrow night, along with the announcement thread in the GFM's forum from CPM- all it will need is to be moved into place on Monday Morning, and to have the Front Page & Twitter/Facebook feeds updated with the info on it. More details tomorrow- as I'm going to tweak the existing scenario a bit for play effectiveness. R.D.
QueerRudie Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 OK: Shady Glen Park is now ready- I adjusted things a bit, tweaked performance, added some interesting 'challenges' to make the game more difficult, and it will be ready to fly for tomorrow AM release. Hopefully this will be a 'new start' for RCT 3 gameplay- because after the last debacle with the Track Challenge, I'd not like a repeat. I will be keeping a log of people entering, however- just to be on the safe side. Run time is two weeks from tomorrow. Guidelines for the winner will be established in the thread by CPM. Some elements are designed to prevent overplay, while others are there to challenge. R.D.
