MAKE MY GAMEZ

[Oddysseus]

Hi! I'm new here, but I'm so excited about the amazeing bizness offer I'm going to offer you that I thought it would be best to dive rite into the forums without reading all those tedious "rules" first.  (Rules are for squares, anyways.)

My company, Take No Prisoners Electrotainment (or Tekno Pee for short), is a legitamate company, with a
website and everything!  We're currently working on several multiplatform MMO/RPG/SHMUP-hybrid games, but they're all in the hush-hush preAlpha phase, so you won't find any screenshots or character bios or other such evidence that those things do, in fact, exist.  But trust me, we (and by we, I mean a bunch of Venezuelan child programmers in my basement) are working our fingers to the bone on them!  Literally!

Now, I'm the president of a game company, but I can't be bothered to come up with my own game ideas, so I thought the best thing to do would be to exploit utilize the imagination of you forum people!  That's what the internet is for, right?  The glorious cooperation of individuals whereby you all give me stuff for free, and I get rich!  Be a part of the American dream!  My dream!
All you have to do is provide me with a few ideas to get started.  Don't worry: you'll still own the intellectual property.  I'll just be renting it from you for an undisclosed amount of time and keeping all the profits. I'm not a lawyer, but my cousin went to Law School for a year before he got busted for dealing meth (long story) and he told me that that's totally how copywrite law works.  Like, for realz.

I know what your thinking: "This all sounds unbelieveable!  So unbelieveable that I don't believe it!"  Well, believe this: I'm not a faceless corporate overlord with a god complex who wants to suck you dry of intellectual property and spit out your shattered husk on a pile of baby skulls.  No, I'm JUST LIKE YOU!  Just "one of the guys"- I even made my own game back in high school before I became too good for that sort of thing.  CHECK IT OUT!
Truly you will respect me once you see my obvious coding superiority!

So, too sum up: My vast bizness experience + all your ideas = CASH MONEY!
We can't loose!

(Off-topic: kudos to the moderators for being patient when this kind of shite crops up.  I don't know how you guys do it. /off-topic.)

Excellent post.

Edit: Yes, I too would like to get your PayPal information. In fact, if it's possible, I'd like to just set up my paycheck for a direct deposit into your banking account.

(offtopic: Apparently "all [our] ideas" so far just amounts to us giving you money. So you're right! Your "bizness experience" (i.e., using Paint to generate a website and a game) + "[our] ideas" (i.e., our money) = CASH MONEY for yOU! /offtopic)

What's your paypal? I'd like to donate money.

Absolutely brilliant.

i think we've found the New Yahtzee.

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

It's not like I like Ben Croshaw or his games much but comparing Odysseus's post to Yahtzee is hardly fair.  Yahtzee's games were all his ideas as far as I can tell, and whether good or bad, he completed them and released them for free.  This situation isn't the same at all, and I can't fathom why you'd want to even write such a thing other than to drag this post off topic and create a big discussion about it. 

Think before you post, please.

[Hammerite]

I was actually taking the piss out of the first poster, making a sarcastic remark that his ideas matched the quality of Yahtzee... though considering the manner in which Yahtzee left, I can see where the misunderstanding could arise.
Whoops-ee-daisy!

[GarageGothic]

This is the best forum post since the baby horse game.

ROFLMAO Brilliant.

[Afflict]

 :o

I just re-read my first posts and man that is indeed scary! Geez that sucks. Anyway I have to say that I think I made some progress from the deranged noob to a little less noob

That was however fun to see & read cause it felt like someone else's posts  : Thanks for the reminder lo_res_man.

This could make for an interesting thread on its own. Your first AGS post

*snrrk*

Sorry Oddysseus, but I'm already working for an exiled Rwandan prince.  Let me know if you decide to make a sequel to Incredible Magic 8-Ball Game!1, though; that storyline has lots of potential.

RE: First Post - Oops. Didn't see you actually started a new thread! HA!

"Free human organs"?
Emm... okay.

Next time, cut down on punctuation and add extra spaces to the words.

But sadly, this thread looks authentic enough to be one of numerous real ones.
