shouldn't every joke have limits?

[marcus]

well you sure can take things out of context... not only i know its a free pro... infact why am i saying this?? I FREAKING SAID IT IN MY FIRST OR SECOND POST! so reread it please.
and densming - was that sarcasm?

[shbaz]

Then why don't you explain why changing your computer clock is so hard?  Or evidence that anyone was pissed off enough about this subtle, harmless, funny joke to just stop using AGS? None of that was explained, because you just assume most AGS users can't change their computer clock, of which I can humbly assure you you are wrong.

[LordHart]

How do I turn my computer on? :'(

[densming]

and densming - was that sarcasm?

uhh.... yeah.

But I think it really would be funny.  I mean, hey, Microsoft does it with Windows, and I laugh every time IT stops working on me.

[Darth Mandarb]

Shouldn't every joke have limits?

Yeah sure ... so should every thread

"Okay here's what you do.  On Christmas day if you want to use AGS you need to set your computer clock back.  To do that you double click on the clock and go ...  [meaningful pause] ... Tell you what folks if you can't figure out how to set your computer clock back please ring your call button and Tommy will come over and hit you on the head with a tack hammer because you are a retard."

Hehehe....

This is the best thread I've read in a long time.

If only everyone was as tight-arsed as my fat friend marcus.

Awww.... I love you, markie-poo.

Really, I do. I think it's your big head that attracts me...

[Peter Thomas]

That was probably a bit mean...

Oh, what the hell....


i HAVE, however, finally got the energy to register as a member. (Well, obviously not YET, but straight after this, I promise you.) It will probably deflate the flaming a little. And it gives you something else to talk about aside marcus.

[DGMacphee]

Who was that masked man?

[m0ds]

Fatman.

[marcus]

Just because he is doing something for free doesnt mean he can toy around with us like that. next day, he'll fake a virus or something, not that it will change soem of your's opinions...

[MillsJROSS]

Actually, it's because it is free that CJ can do anything he wants to. And I don't think CJ is about to program a false virus. In fact, in his latest version the x-mas joke isn't even present.

So far you are the only person who has this view that CJ's joke went too far. Like I said, you can only get offended by something you want to get offended by. But truthfully, you've probably offended CJ more, by not taking this to him personally. If you were offended by his program, then you should have complained to him, without involving the community.

I find this thread that you started is going too far. You didn't want an adult conversation (only high-schoolers and people from college), and look at how people have responded. So people here have been treating you like a kid, isulting you, childishly, but you have been acting like a kid, in being too stubborn to examine our arguments. I can see if you were pissed if CJ made a real virus. But a joke is a joke, it is not made to offend. CJ's intention was not to offend. He made a joke that was easily bypassed, and so you lost a day with AGS? But what your doing to yourself is far worse, than CJ's joke. You're alienated yourself from the community (as no one has shared your view on the joke), and how do you expect the community to treat you or a game created by you?

I think the joke didn't cross any limit.

If the message appeared when you try to save (and didn't let you) ruining all your day progress, I would understand it has produced a damage and your complain. Or maybe if AGS were an antivirus, the disabling joke for a day could bring problems.

I bet some people are gonna leave AGS because of this

If somebody leaves AGS because He doesn't know how to change the clock, this will be good for him, because he has not (IMO) the knowledge needed for using a development environment like AGS is.

By the way I'm going to propose several solutions:

- Change AGS licese to be "accept-dissabling-one-day-joke-ware".

- Create a separate distribution without jokes (and only for developing serious adventures...).

- Add a change clock tutorial to de tuts section.

- Complete the "Create my game" function (you will lose a day but the next day you could make a whole new game).

-Try not to offend so easy, be openminded and try to see the intention behind the other's acctions.

he'll fake a virus or something

I think next AGS version will format your HD and kidnapp your girlfriend (the last part only in beta versions)

[MrColossal]

also i do hope I'm talking here with highschool/college people and not adults. (not that high/college people cant be adults but they're allowed to be non-adults too)

I just REALLY want to know what you ment by that Marcus? What does that have to do with anything ever at all? I'm 22 years old and I graduated from college last May, can I participate in this conversation or am I to adult?

I'm not trying to be a jerk I'm just totally confused.

since you're still here marcus can you explain that please? you never did

[Hueij]

Okay, I'm done laughing so I can finally post in this thread...

First, thank you Marcus. Because you started this thread I was just in time to start up AGS to see what you were talking about... I had only 15 minutes left.

[mature]
Since it's been a long time that I was a university student (sometimes I wish I didn't drop out ) I take it that I fall into your category of "mature" posters. Well, too bad, IMO Chris' joke was one of the best I encountered in a long time. So much for maturity I guess...

Anyway, advice from a real old person: you are taking yourself way too serious. Lighten up, it will make your life a lot easier...
[/mature]

[Raggit]

I think the joke is hilarious.  Especially since it's true.  You should spend Christmas day with friends or family.  Then you can spend the rest of the year working on your game!  

[Domino]

I just can't wait until Pumaman sees this thread. Everybody go find safe shelter, this ain't gonna be pretty.

Let me know when its safe to come back.

Marcus, not trying to be mean, but you had a full day to work on backgrounds for your game. Then the day after christmas, you could put them into AGS.

I just can't believe this thread is still alive... I feel like putting something like that in all my programs, just to spite this guy...

Here is 50 cents, go buy a sense of humor.

[AGA]

I just can't wait until Pumaman sees this thread. Everybody go find safe shelter, this ain't gonna be pretty.

Oh yeah, because CJ is know for his temper. He'll probably ban us all too...

[DGMacphee]

I'm going to be as tactful and mature as I possibly can.






GET FUCKED, MARCUS!!
