Yes, our very own DragonRose wrote/fixed it all up just a few months ago, when this was brought up.

As Alec pointed out to me the other day, it's a shame Wiki doesn't have 'mookie' definition. Does anyone really know what it means anyway?

Also, they 'reverted' my definition of Chicky, bastards said i was 'experimenting'... bleh.

When you just want to know what one word is, check Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com).  Unfortunately, it can give you a lot of varied definitions. For example the many faces of mookie (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mookie&r=f).

The origin of the infamous #ags "mookie" is "Mookie's Last Christmas", a song by the band Saosin.

Nothing to do with the Pearl Jam cd Mookie Blayblock?
Title: AGS on Wikipedia
Post by: Baron on Sun 27/02/2005 23:00:51
I read this thread about a week ago and was very impressed with DragonRose's article at Wikipedia.  I was so impressed that this afternoon as I was adding it as a link to my webpage I decided to peruse it again and discovered the following discreatly nestled near the very bottom:

"AGS is generally regarded as a steaming pile of congealed monkey vomit. Better to use alternatives, such as AGAST, SLUDGE, Visionaire and WME."

I don't remember it being like that last week... :(

That's rather disappointing if someone is being serious, sadly, some of the other editors communities do seem rather hostile to any competition.

*sniffsniff*

Why do I smell poop suddenly?

Anyway, someone seems to have rectified it - many thanks, whoever it was.

I switched things up a bit, hopefully whoever keeps writing that will be appeased.

I wasn't stating an opinion with the comment "AGS seems to be the most popular." It's a fact. AGS has more users than most other engines. It is more "popular" in that it is used by a greater portion of the populous. It's quality and it's relationship to monkey vomit is a matter of opinion.

Hmph.

That is rather sad -- especially as the IP of the person who did it matches AgentLoaf from these forums. Care to explain yourself?

How dare you infringe on a persons right to anonymously be a dick on the internet!

This was done with no attempt at anonymity though, so I'l post it:
01:13:21 <AGA> Pity the SS2 engine completely refuses to work on newer machines.
01:13:22 <Roger> Hey AGA, AgentLoaf asked me to tell you: HAY AGA STOP TALKING YOU SACK OF FUCKING MAGGOTS WHO ARE HAVING SEX! (2 hours, 11 minutes ago)
01:13:24 <Roger> Hey AGA, AgentLoaf asked me to tell you: HAY AGA STOP TALKING YOU SACK OF FUCKING MAGGOTS WHO ARE HAVING SEX! (2 hours, 11 minutes ago)
01:13:26 <Roger> Hey AGA, AgentLoaf asked me to tell you: HAY AGA STOP TALKING YOU SACK OF FUCKING MAGGOTS WHO ARE HAVING SEX! (2 hours, 11 minutes ago)
...
01:13:40 <Roger> Hey AGA, AgentLoaf asked me to tell you: HAY AGA STOP TALKING YOU SACK OF FUCKING MAGGOTS WHO ARE HAVING SEX! (2 hours, 11 minutes ago)
01:13:41 * Roger was kicked by AGA (Roger)


I wouldn't have expected this from Loaf, a few months ago, anyway.

I still can't believe he did it.... he and his awesome avatar. I won't believe it.

His argumentative self hides behind that avatar, and only comes out every now and then where there's an opportunity to take a stab at AGA or scotch. Pay him no heed.

I wasn't gonna bother posting it, but this (http://www.agagames.com/crap/sillyboy.txt) gives further evidence of AgentLoaf's retardation.

How old was he?
Title: Re: AGS History
Post by: Al_Ninio on Sun 06/03/2005 14:06:58
In his twenties. I believe he still is.

He doesn't have the excuse of being 12, if that's what you were thinking.
