Looking good! It has that professional appearance that suits the zine very well.

Good job!

Vel · Sun 03/08/2003 19:56:33

Necro did the whole thing.

Hobbes · Sun 03/08/2003 19:59:39

I know.

It is the person at whom my praise was directed.

Vel · Sun 03/08/2003 20:17:31

Oh, self-orientated me. How could I be so selfish, HOW?!

Privateer Puddin' · Sun 03/08/2003 20:22:00

excellent read

Necro · Mon 04/08/2003 01:21:44

Why thankyou, ^_^ , Im glad everyone like the page, I know I'll be waiting for the next issue from Vel...

DonÂ´t missunderstand me, but... there is another magazine "A"... Why two? I donÂ´t mean that one of that must disappear, just that... Are there possiblities of a fussion between the two magazines?

I like both of the publications, and it could be very confortable to have the contents in one place, maybe even with two different URL, like an attachment... what do you think?

Vel · Mon 04/08/2003 09:53:03

Are you talking about the inventory or about the AGD zine?
If you are talking about the inventory, it is focused on commercial games, not amateur ones.
If you are talking abou the AGD zine, m0ds closed it because he hadnt updated it for months.

Gilbert · Mon 04/08/2003 09:56:10

He's talking about Sylpher.com's AGS articles:
www.sylpher.com/a

However, I don't find any problems in having more than one such err... things, as long as their contents are worthy enough for viewing.

So... Keep up the good work!

Vel · Mon 04/08/2003 10:03:44

OKay, Ill release the new issue this evening.

Sylpher explains why he doesn't want to merge with AGS Zine here: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=7405 and I agree with him.

Besides, why can't there be more than one AGS e-zine? It's not like we're competing for readers. Do other gaming magazines merge just because they have the same reader base or similar content?

Nacho · Mon 04/08/2003 10:40:21

Har! I see your point... but with two magazines seems that there is a kind of competition. ThatÂ´s why both magazines collaborating sharing articles, information and linking they each other should be more suitable for me.

Gilbert · Mon 04/08/2003 10:53:58

Heh That's okay.

In my opinion, since they're not doing these things for money or attentions, it's actually possible that they are not in competition.

Moreover, A and ezine are organized by different persons, if they join force and merge together, sometimes it is difficult to keep the updates consistant without firm cooperation. On the other hand, managing one's own project provides more freedom, that they can do things more closely to what they want.

So we can just leave them as separate projects, and I know that there'll be probably some features specific to each of them.

Nacho · Mon 04/08/2003 13:53:19

Oh! Sure... If theyÂ´re non-official magazines, itÂ´s easily understanding that they go separated...

But I think that one of that magazines is going to become official some day. I hope that when that day arrive "magaziners" will work together for the benefit of the whole community.

WOW, how nice post!

Vel · Mon 04/08/2003 13:57:07

...which needs editing...

Goldmund · Mon 04/08/2003 18:01:27

Vel, nothing needs edited; this F4rl4nd3r-sp33k, the newest and most fashionable trend with Polish and Spanish AGSers!

Wow, my writing was very smart.

P.S. Vel persuaded?

LGM · Mon 04/08/2003 18:59:01

I don't appreciate the harsh comments at the end of the 2nd Ezine.

I told you that I was unable to play the games because AGS games run too dark for me to play. I could not read the speech, nor see the player character.

I did everything in my control to get the preview of FOY.. But m0ds sent it to you for more convienience..

I'm sorry that this was such a problem to you, but I had explained to you earlier my inability to.. And I would ask that you make a formal apology in the next issue. For now, I shall boycott the Ezine until you do so.

Thank you

Vel · Mon 04/08/2003 19:02:45

OMG, LGM is doing a boycott!!! What shall I do?

Anyway, LGM, the day that m0ds sent me the FoY stuff was the day the second issue was released and the day before I departed. And, it is your fault you didnt do these reviews, not mine. The thing I am guilty for is being so unprofessional and announce it publicly.
