[Ghostwish]

You can hit the the spell check on purpose if you want. I kinda get the idea you were trying to piss off Keaton.

*vrooommm* Just like a boeing..  

I'd give ya a cigar, boxen, but I'm all out of high explosives.

Amuse, possible. Pissing off is against the rules, though. ;-]


... what, you thought I wasn't watching?

It wasn't that I thought you weren't watching, I wasn't thinking to think that you were watching.

I'm just amazed that neko is still allowed within 12 miles of here after that many f-you posts directed at the mods.

I was indisposed during the first wave, so anything I say now would just be piling on, but by the looks of things, he hasn't learned a damned thing, and totally deserves it.

O.O

Do what in the who now!? What'd I miss!?

There's a certain amount of leeway given when people don't realise they're talking to mods. Heck, there's a certain amount of leeway given to ensure that when one mod responds, the person they're slapping down actually sees the response before being banned.

Having said that, there are also limits. I strongly recommend that nobody attempt to use this as licence to poke us; shoving your hand in a hornet's nest is probably smarter.

O.O

Everything. ;-]

[Sunblink]

Actually, I thought Ghostwish's post was hilarious.

I'm not that irritable, guys

[Dagardo]

Yeah, and my favorite pastime is acting completely stupid and moronic... no really it is.
Although it could be the fact that I have been listing to the 8 same songs over and over, which has, in effect, scrambled my brain even more that necessary... ever try spinning your arms in a circle? Its pretty fun.

[Sunblink]

Although it could be the fact that I have been listing to the 8 same songs over and over,

Hey, I do the same thing all the time. We're in the same crazy-boat.

On the subject of the latest comic, Mab looks gorgeous. Amber, your artwork is wonderful. I'm looking forward to this arc more than ever. Out of curiosity, is she going to go through all of the characters on the cast page, or just the primary characters?

Also, the punchline was hilarious. It reminded me of Family Guy's "Petarded" episode, in which Peter consulted one of those barnyard animals during an IQ test.

[Dagardo]

Yeah, this crazy boat were all on is pretty fun to be on, unless its murderous crazy. I dun wanna die. It sounds painful. But I learned something, that God is a DJ. But I also wanna know, has anyone here ever had a lucid dream?

[Amber Williams]

I am only going to say this once, but I think several members of this board need to serious step off in regards to piling on the responses to Nekoboy.  Unless he is blatently breaking the rules, then keep the snarky comments to yourself. 

As for the banning system, we actually try to give someone several chances before we officially lay down the beat down.  Unless someone is doing something so offensive (like spamming porn to everyones PM box or a complete rule break) that it warrents us skipping straight to perma-ban...most everyone gets a series of warnings followed by some temp bans.  The logic being if someone actually banned for more than a week or a month and then continues to troll off the same behavior, then its not really a loss there.

[Ghostwish]

Crap, Mrs. Williams is awake. I'm gonna go hide now.

[Dagardo]

We should all be hiding.

[Mischa]

Awww, Mab, still one of my favorite characters.  And Amber's artwork is always stunning.

(Although I have a feeling at this point I should be offering some sort of constructive criticism, or something... darnit...)

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

We should all be hiding.

... including me. *hides*

[Nekoboy]

...*looks at Nekoboy's comment*

That's... Kinda Creepy.

Nekoboy ,  Do you want a .... Dating Sim game
or a Furry Dating service?  I am not sure which is Creepier...  And Amber is too busy to draw for a gaming company....but if anyone knows of a gaming company looking for artist... Direct them to Amber..  She love your forever, but we will see the end of the comic.

PBH

I acutlly ment a dateing sims game but with these furrys in Amber's comics, Kinda like a flash game. I dont think that would end her comics sicne she could just do it on her own with her art allready. Allso on anoter note, I mis-spelled 3 words and people are allready back on that spot again? Come on....really >.> moving on, allso Amber dont you have someone that can make a flash of that game comic idea you have? I bet it would be great Keep up the good work.

~Nekoboy

[Sunblink]

Sorry, Amber. I'll be on my best behavior.

~Nekoboy

I'm going by memory, Nekoboy, but I think some people have actually discussed turning DMFA into a dating sims game or making a video game adaptation in the past. However, the last discussion kind of went sour. I think the thread's still in the Abandoned Mine, but I could be wrong.

Caswin still has his "DMFA: The Game" thread in the Tower of Art, too.

[Kipiru]

OK, I'm getting kind of sorry I brought this up, it's getting too serious( though Nekoboy sure has issues) for a simple funny remark. So drop it off with the Nekoboy, if the Man thinks he is fine, then who are we to judge.

[Amber Williams]

I don't think anything is fine. But I do think that having seven people gang up on someone who has already shown they have a martyr complex does not exactly show a lot of maturity and intelligence on the part of the majority.   Especially since this happened to be one of the few times he wasn't arguing with the mods and was actually posting somewhat on topic.  What's next? Gonna follow him around and response with snarky comments on each thread he makes whether or not you had an interest in the conversation beforehand?  Sheesh people. I don't expect you all to hold hands and welcome someone who has given you grief, but I would expect you to at least be moderately courteous...or heaven forbid...ignore his posts when they are harmless but annoying you.

I am not going to pretend to hide politeness. I know many of you expect Nekoboy to and up back on the ban list. And he might, gosh knows if he falls back into his habit of arguing with authority and breakings rules.  But if that is the case, then let him do it on his own. You guys just agitating him only makes you look like bullies in the process and complicates things.  Give him his space and he will either improve as a member or hang himself on his own rope.

As for the whole flash game. It isn't gonna happen. I am not even going to pretend like there is a chance.  In the past several people have come along talking about doing some sort of DMFA game related thing. Sometimes its an RPG, sometimes its a fighting game, sometimes its a dating sim.  And it always happens that people get worked up and excited...but it always falls flat on the actual work-progress.  So I decided that I am not going to waste my time or the forums time.  If I ever want to do a game, I will look into it myself. But I have little desire to do so at this time.  End of story.

[Dagardo]

And by that logic I am going to say nothing more about Nekoboy and let him do his own thing, and also not start talking about a DMFA related game, as Amber jut said, If hasn't happened in the past it wont happen now unless he wants it to and she doesn't. Maybe we should all just shut up...

[Kipiru]

Great, we got Amber angry! Worst off she has a point! I'll be the first to apologise to Nekoboy if my actions on this thread were uncalled for!

[Dagardo]

I'll be the second, but its something I'm not very adept at... Nekoboy if you read this I apologize.

[Nekoboy]

I'll be the second, but its something I'm not very adept at... Nekoboy if you read this I apologize.

Well....on a few subjects, 1. Amber, I'm done dogeing bullets i'm not going to be in the gun fight anymore (aka) im not going to cause any trouble. 2.Anyone who said sorry, I forgive easyly so its ok and umm...4? No wait 3. hehe...umm...Amber dont you have somene with anoter site that helps you with this sorta of stuff? I meen anyone can make a flash of it if anyone truely wanted to. , and umm...4. I can't wait to see more of this comic I just hope this isnt to much sicne if theres about like 3 of them The main one , then Able's story then the dateing thing , I hope to god it isnt to much for you, sicne I dotn want you over worked and your stuff coming out slower. Keep up the good work as allways Amber.

~Nekoboy

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Anyone can make a flash, Nekoboy.

The problem is, to make it good, one needs a lot of images. Those images have to come from Amber. That takes time away from updating the strip; something Amber has been fighting to limit for years, now. Heck, her current update schedule is an attempt to catch up on things that she's been trying to finish for, she says, too long.

There is also a lot of work involved in making the plot work well. After all, it's not like we'd all want something that didn't have the quirky humour we all have come to enjoy. So you need either someone who can make more humour of the same sort, or more of Amber's time, again.


This is not to say it won't happen... but there's an awful lot of work involved in making a game, even a quick flash game. Much of that work would have to come from Amber, much from whoever else was involved in it. Nobody has, as yet, managed to successfully come up with the time.

And, as Amber says, she's given up hoping that they will. Sooner or later someone with money will come along, and make a game. Given how many games are made that fail utterly, I can't see it happening soon...


You're welcome to do your side of it, though. Just don't expect Amber to cough up lots of time to match it...

[Prof B Hunnydew]

Okay I have to remember this when I win the Power ball lottery

5 million dollars to Amber for Characters and plot humour   
1 million plus code monkeys to make the flash game engine....

Date with Mab... priceless

PBH

*whip snipe*  Get cracking you, monkeys

That or you get a room of trained monkeys who can match Amber's work line for line in her stead.

That's the best you're gonna get, since most of the good American animators are either long-since retired or dead. Anyone left is now working out of South Korea.

I assume that you are talking about Macromedia Flash.  I believe that that is part of the Adobe CS3 package.  I seemed to have missed an interesting thread.

However, before you can make a decent Flash animation, you have to script it the way you would any other animation or computer game.  You don't really need decent images for the scripting portion.  There are a number of books on the subject.

[Dagardo]

A DMFA based flash game of any kind sounds very interesting to play and I for one would play it, if just to see what its like, that is assuming anyone could pull it off. as for anyone who partakes in the endeavor, I wish you the best of luck. And i would pay you if it would help, but I just spent most of my money on a sword. I like swords, just like Dan, but my ''collection'' so to say is no where near as extensive as his probably is. Meh, it just my ''hobby''

Any program to make a flash that you cna download for free or some trial...anyone know of any links?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Nope. Macromedia, and, once they were bought out, Adobe, have been fairly careful about not allowing people to write programs to create flash files.

So the only one available is the canonical one, now known as Adobe Flash; or if you get some larger package that comes with Flash as a plugin, eg CS3, as mentioned previously.

Any other option would be illegal, and there are rules about requesting illegal things on this forum.
