Heres the aforementioned idea:
Y'know all those games clogging up the games in productions board? Go check it out. If you see a game you really like, send the creator an e-mail and tell him that your waiting for it and your a fan yadda yadda....
And if you play a game, any game, send the creator a message about your thoughts on the game. This may bother some people, but I think most of us here would appreciate a little feedback from the community...
I'm gonna go write one for Ace quest 2....
I think I gonna write one for LV3... Is LV3 on that board?
Someone should write for Runhot...
Yes.
Lots of fan mail for Runhot.
So thats why you PM'd me Squinky! Well, I'm afraid to say that even with your support Mr Squink, I still had to cancel XXX Girls: The Adventure.
Sorry.
:P

Good Idea squink
the rules are overlined by far in many cases....
more threads with crap in it should be deleted.
Actually this should be good for every board though
I'll support you
Aye, Squinky.
I try to spread this idea among the receivers of all kinds of AMAteur/independent art.
Seen a play by a small street theatre which you enjoyed a lot?
Find them on the net and write them an e-mail.
Or better yet approach them after the show with words of praise and cries of extasy.
From experience, the individual words of praise from unknown individuals (no, not the "you have nice bum" ones) mean much, much more than praise/attack of some impotent, boring critics.
Woop, my idea seems to be helping:

Yea. And when is that annoying Squinky guy goin to work on Fry-2 II again? :) He ought to finsh that becase so far it is really cool...It is, really.
Cheers
Squinky, All
Bah! I sent you a message terranrich! By the Sword Roxors!1111
Finish it already! And rick, I'm now back to cranking away on fry 2....expect a cool-ass report on the in production board soon....(fortunecookie) also expect to meet a stranger and gain much wealth and happyness...(/fortunecookie)
Wow! It worked. Squinky you must be a genius :) or have listened to one of those self motivational courses they advertise at 3 in the morning on tv. :D
No, Squinky just timed it at the right moment. Don't take all the credit, squinkers. I had been reworking with AQ2 for 3weeks...on and off as work has allowed. He does deserve some credit, though. He did motivate me to finish it faster than it might otherwise have been done (from anywhere to a couple of days to a week).
I don't think this is an annoying idea at all...through the private messages. And it has proved motivational. It's always good to know you have people looking forward to what you have to give to the community. There are many people here that I am awaiting a game from, and they may just get a private message from me, too.
And yes...work on Fry2 is needed...The Demonslayer games have given me enough Squinky humor to know that I want more!

Good idea, but I still want my fry 2.
I got an email from Squinkster. Thanks!
I also agree with him. Compliments are currency.
