I keep missing out on these contests. I’ve got 34 years of experience to draw on for this topic.

Ahh damn. If it was just me I could forego the football match, but my wife’s booked the afternoon off work to make a thing of it so I should probably go.
Tom, from what time are you available in the evenings. Thursday’s the only other day I can do really.

Site & Forum Reports / Re: Suggestion: Languages on game page
« on: 09 May 2018, 22:17 »
Most games don’t get any translations, some get two or three at most, so I can’t see a problem with having just simple bit of text underneath the game description. Flags are unnecessary and there’s no need to differentiate between US and UK English for example.
Another idea could be to have a simple “languages” icon somewhere on the games’ page which brings up a box showing all the languages when you hover over it.

Nice to see lots of rodent-based activity in this thread. Keep it up, folks.
But... where is Tabata? I’d have thought she’d enjoy this topic.

My wife’s reminded me that we’re going to a football match on the Wednesday evening. She won the tickets ages ago at work. I should still be able to meet up in the afternoon though. Depending where we meet, I’ll probably have to leave about 5ish.

Damn, I totally forgot to send a pitch. Hope there’s a new round soon.
My vote went to #9. I love the idea of playing games within a game but for an actual purpose that serves the main plot.
My runners up are #2 and #10. I’m currently playing Life is Strange and #2 is basically that. But I liked the pitch anyway.

« on: 01 May 2018, 10:51 »Okay. Two more days suits me. I’m currently on holiday at the moment and sorting the voting out in my phone is a pain in the asphalt.How much time do you need VW? I’m not really able to close the contest yet anyway.2 days should give me enough time to either fix the problems or find a workaround.

I didn’t actually think I’d solved it. I just thought I was onto something with the ‘blood and pastures’ bit and was throwing it out there.

Is it something about the words/letters themselves?

Are those images from either side of the ad break: ‘end of part one’ and ‘part two’?

« on: 25 Apr 2018, 03:37 »Aside from the main Fortnightly Writing Competition...I like it. I’ve often thought that next time I win the FWC I would choose “invent your own urban legend” as the next theme. Unfortunately I don’t enter FWC much these days, so your idea is better.
When October rolls around, and the Halloween mood is in, maybe do a sort of "AGS-themed creepypasta writing contest."

Thanks for the shows of hands so far. I’ve been slowly setting things up behind the scenes. I’ve made a php form that people can use to submit their guesses and sends me an email with all the predictions. Look at me, coding master.
