Not sure if anyone ever uses wikipedia, but I found this today.

All about AGS

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.

DragonRose · Sun 20/02/2005 23:19:48

When you just want to know what one word is, check Urban Dictionary. Unfortunately, it can give you a lot of varied definitions. For example the many faces of mookie.

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?

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.

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Sun 27/02/2005 23:14:21

*sniffsniff*

Why do I smell poop suddenly?

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

DragonRose · Mon 28/02/2005 06:04:45

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?

Kinoko · Mon 28/02/2005 09:52:31

UmaaaaaAAAAaaah, AgentLoaf ^_^ You're busted!!

(Sorry, I was having a flashback of being 8)

magintz · Sat 05/03/2005 15:40:52

isn't that an invasion of privacy? anywho....

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.

Ghormak · Sat 05/03/2005 17:56:05

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.

AGA · Sat 05/03/2005 21:00:41

I wasn't gonna bother posting it, but this gives further evidence of AgentLoaf's retardation.

Indie Boy · Sat 05/03/2005 22:03:29

shame he hasnt been on since 27-02-2005, 19:37:05 strange that this is a day before he was named and SHAMED

Kinoko · Sun 06/03/2005 14:05:27

How old was he?

Al_Ninio · Sun 06/03/2005 14:06:58

In his twenties. I believe he still is.
